WELCOME TO ROUND 6 - VIRGINIA FULL COURSE


2022 Michelin GT Challenge at VIR

 

If you don't have to work ...

 

Well, it has gone alright so far between the LMP2 and GTD because most are experienced drivers and they understand that Multiclass racing is give and take. It's that dynamic that makes it interesting imo.

3. TEAM SPEAK
Go to the specially created TeamSpeak channel called IMSA for the drivers briefing before QUAL and in WARM-UP.
The drivers briefing on the server before Qual and the Race, will only be done on TeamSpeak. You can find all the info in this thread below.
You don't have to talk if you don't want to, you only have to listen.
(If we disconnect before the race, then use TeamSpeak to let us know who is or is not back yet to start the race)
In-game under "Graphics": if you set Window mode to "borderless", you can Alt-Tab to TS and back within rFactor2 without crashing the game.

4. Raceday weather conditions
The server is set for real-world weather conditions.
Look for the weather conditions above in post #11.

5. Qualification procedure
1) The Qual time will be 20 minutes in total.
2) Only the LMP2 field will go out for the first 9 minutes. With 11 minutes to go, all LMP2s must finish their lap and hit the Escape key on conclusion.
3) Only the GTD field will go out for the last 9 minutes. With 9 minutes to go, all GTD cars can leave the pitlane until the end of Qual.
4) Chat is not allowed during Qual.

6. 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:
1. You run out of fuel in pit lane before reaching your pit stall.
2. You sustain damage to your car as a result of another driver and cannot make it back to your pit stall. You must prove your qualifying session was wrecked by another driver and that you made an attempt to return to pit lane.

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.

7. You can find the password for the race server on the Virginia event page.

8. You can find the server by first typing sro

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

10. No-shows (keeping the entry list real)
If a driver does not show without unregistering for that event or letting us know that he can't make it on the event forum, he will be removed from the series.
If he is no longer interested in the series, it's fine like it is.
If he forgot about the event, he can sign up for the series again.

(You don't have to unregister for the whole series. You can unregister only for the event you can't do.)

11. Please use the same name in the rFactor 2 game as on our signup list or it won't match in our automated result processing.

12. If you plan to PROTEST another driver, you have to wait 24 hours counting from the end of the race.
Any protest filed before that time will be viewed as not received. You can find the rules about submitting a protest here.

Last but not least ... SIMRACINGONLINE wishes you a great race!
