    will leman package be disabled on the server to avoid unnecessary lags when someone leaves server?

    I don't think the Lemans package will be fast on this circuit as there are few straights to take any advantage of it. Seems to be a medium down force track which should suit the standard aero pack.

    I'm getting a possible missing content message, yet i have been on server many times since VIR was put up! Is there something I missed?

    I will not alter the server settings for all 5 cars, but declare that the Le Mans Aero Package can not be used from now on.

    THE LE MANS AERO PACKAGE CAN NOT BE USED FROM NOW ON IN THIS SERIES.

    Because of possible related issues with screen freezing when people who use the LM aero package leave the server during an event, the LM aero package can not be used in this series from now on.

    About the pit speeding penalty. I noticed this at another track a couple weeks ago: If you don't go down to 1st gear the limiter will let you go over the 50kph limit. I've just verified that it will hold 50k if you're in 1st at the entry, but in 4th it let me go to 54!

    Some kind of bug - track or game?.

    I think you always need to be in first gear for the pit limiter to work correctly, but I don’t know if it’s a bug or it’s the same in real racing cars

    Johnny is now only 13 points ahead of Matteo in the championship. With only 2 more races to go, it could go either way.
    It will probably be decided in the final race at COTA. Matt is technically also still in the running. He's 40 points behind first place and there are still 50 points to grab.

    Who will it be .... ? :cool::p:eek:

    Drivers briefing


    1. This event will be broadcasted
    Broadcast team: EithaRacingTeam
    Broadcasters: Nassim, Lorenzo & Sameer
    Twitch broadcast link: https://www . twitch . tv / eitharacing (delete the spaces)
    Or go to the headlines on top of the homepage.

    2. 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.

    3. Virginia GP Conditions
    1) The race will start at 02:00 PM (in-game time of course)
    2) Time acceleration is normal. Fuel and Tires are set to normal.
    3) The race will have rain in the middle of the race. It will be dry at the beginning and the end.
    4) Cut Track points are set to 10
    5) This race has 100% damage
    6) Pole Points: 1 / Fast Lap Points: 1
    7) Enter the pitlane in 1st gear when you select the pit limiter, or you might go over the speed limit and get a penalty.
    8) Because of possible related issues with screen freezing when people who use the LM aero package leave the server during an event, the LM aero package can not be used in this series from now on.

    4. Formation lap and rolling start.
    Right after leaving the last corner, we double file in qual order. When the pole-sitter crosses the start line, the race begins.

    5. The pole-sitter will do the formation lap approx. 120 km per hour.

    6. The server password will be changed on race day. You can find the password for the race server on the Virginia event page.

    7. If you have to do a drive-through penalty, you have to do it
    at the end of the first racing lap.
    That means the first racing lap AFTER the formation lap.


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

    9. 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.)

    10. You can find the server by first typing sro

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

    Practiced for a few hours. Then I came in a bit ago and read the forum here. And no Le Mans package :eek:. There goes my few hours.

    I thought I had the upper hand. Felt like this guy until I read no Le Mans package.

    I keep disconnecting every 30 minutes (it also occurred in my previous 2 gp3 races and it is really frustrating). I wont be able to race till the problem is resolved. Sorry...

    I am having a problem with my display. Seems the power outages yesterday reset all to zero. I have spent three hours trying to solve it and missed a nice morning. I intend to enjoy the afternoon. Curses. Have fun , I will miss this race.
