The weather poll is up.

 

Result weather poll

By vote we will start in daylight and end in the night. The server is set accordingly.
Start time (in game) 05:30 PM / time acceleration = 3 x

 

I disagree Sanio. I've had a few of my best races here and think the track has a lot to offer. I would advise you to keep going round until the track reveals its secrets to you.
30 minutes is really not enough to grow into the track if it's your first time here. It would also take away from the action at the front if you are not there. Please sleep on it

 

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. Austin GP Conditions
1) The race will start at 05:30 PM (in-game time of course)
2) Time acceleration is 3 x. Fuel and Tires are set to normal.
3) The race will start in daylight and end in the night.
4) Cut Track points are set to 15
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 Austin 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!

Sorry for forgetting to set the time acceleration guys. The night must have looked pretty bright to you all ...

Grats to Johnny Gutierrez on winning the GTE drivers championship and to Bad Voices Racing for winning the team championship.
Special thanks to the Broadcast team EithaRacingTeam who did a fantastic job bringing the races to us with excellent commentary.

Sorry, that I had to drop out of the series because of a tear in my shoulder tendon. I have to take some rest to let it heal and I will also take a sabbatical for a few months from my admin duties. I'm taking a vacation after 6 years of duty. When my shoulder is good for action again, I hope to see you all back on track in another great series.

Thank you for your continuous support and see you all later
