    Just a note.... once the session has moved to the race, how much time do I get to grid up and remove my car?

    I think we can do proper starts. Everyone here is mature enough to know that you can't win a 60-minute race in the first corner. You can only lose it. But John is the one to decide. By the way, thanks John for going to the trouble of changing everything again. I haven't even tried the car or the tracks yet, but I think this will be more fun than the other one.;)

    Come on guys, SIGN UP! :D

    Sorry, I overlooked that. Copy / Paste stuff.
    All events will have a standing start as original. We will do so without a formation lap.

    I feel the same way. I forgot to adjust the Formation lap bit. It's a standing start of course :)

    Like 50 seconds to grid up and like 5 second after the start you can pick us up. Caitlin Penny goes to the grid and presses Esc & "Back to pits" at the start real quick and picks us up on the camera.

    Watch this from 18:50

    I'm thinking about signing up, but.. the last time I drove such a car was over 10 years ago, rFactor times.. So I have 2 requests, couldu you guys tell me more or less competitve lap times for the first round, to indicate me, where I am and some advice on the setup, because it seems to me that in this series adjusting only the tire pressure and the amount of fuel, as I did in the previous series, is probably not enough.
     
  12. John vd Geest

    John vd Geest Administrator Staff Member Donator

    Well, make sure the tyre pressures are green, and not blue or red.
    On round 1 the Black Cat County track, you might do well with a high downforce package because of the fast corners and late braking, but also with a low downforce package because of the long straights.
    It will be what you are more comfortable with.
    Anyway, a competitive laptime will be around 2.05.xxx. But I have seen fast guys doing 2.02.xxx. But then you really have to be on top of your game and know the track VERY well.

    sorry John, but it seems that your pace prediction is wrong, after a little practice I am able to do 2.02.xxx so imagine what fast guys really can do. I expect times below 2 min.
    it is so sad.
     
  14. John vd Geest

    John vd Geest Administrator Staff Member Donator

    Then you are one of the fast guys :D
    Why is it sad? I don't understand.

    it's sad because no matter what I do there will be people 3 seconds faster than me. it's not like it stresses me out or discourages me from simracing but it's still sad :)

    Understand. That's like it is all over :)

    :confused: 3 seconds faster? Now you're exaggerating. That was only possible in the last series because the cars were so different. I'm not going out on a limb when I say that the entire grid will be within 3 seconds here.
