HOW WE START THE RACE

1. The pole sitter leads the Formation Lap at approximately 120 km/h.
2. The Formation Lap is done in single file.
3. When the Pole Sitter EXITS the La Source Hairpin after the bus stop, the race STARTS.
4. You can not overtake anyone BEFORE you exit the La Source hairpin.

3. The use of the Esc. key in Qualification
Use of the Esc key during Qualifying is the equivalent of stopping your car and getting out. This may be done only in your pit stall. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Here are the only two we will currently consider. These exceptions are subject to change at any time:
- You run out of fuel in the pit lane before reaching your pit stall.

If you use the Esc key in any location other than your pit stall, your Qualifying session is over and you may not return to the track.

4. You can find the password for the race server on the Spa Francorshamps event page.

5. Unregistering in time if you can't make it.

6. Please use the SAME NAME in the rFactor 2 game as on our SRO signup list or it won't match in our automated result processing.

@Andrew Harper Just a suggestion for you to test ...
If you have trouble putting the power down through slow corners, you might try to lower the sensitivity of the throttle in your pedals-profiler. Say from 50 to 30.
That way it is less responsive initially and comes on stronger on your way to 100% power.

 

I was unaware you could win time by going through the pitlane on racing speed. I have tested it, and it's true.
It's too late now to start testing with the .json file to hard-code a slower pit lane speed limit, so I have to set some rules about it:

1. Qualifying: You can not start your flying lap through the pit lane or you will be sanctioned with a 60 second penalty on your race result. I will check after the race.
2. Race: If you have to do a drive-through penalty, you have to stay at approximately 100 km/h or you will be sanctioned with a 30 second penalty on your race result.

Arguments after the race that you did not know about this are invalid because you are supposed to read the forum before the race.

 

Noooo ...
Not for a regular pitstop. Just for a drive-through penalty you have to serve.
With a regular pitstop, you first stop in your box, so there is no time advantage and you can enter and exit flat out.
