rF2 BTCC 2022 @ Knockhill - Mon 27th February 2023 *Race Against unowned DLC*

[Jimlaad43]

We have 7/8 of the BTCC cars now, so with the release of the excellent Honda Civic Type R (No Bias at all ) we can bring these cars back. With the new update for DLC content too, you don't need to own all the individual cars to race with us! So join the server in whichever car you want to drive and go for it! FWD or RWD? We will be using the 2022 Rules, which include the Hybrid Boost. This is explained below too.

Eligibility: You must be a PREMIUM member. You must also use your REAL NAME on all RD servers and Discord, and include this in your forum profile. It is the only way of identifying who you are during an event.

Hybrid Boost explanation
On launch, you will need to map your ‘Push to Pass’ button found in the Settings screen in the UI, under the Powertrain heading. On the dashboard of the BTCC cars, you will see the various information fields related to the hybrid status. For reference, this boost feature comes with a number of variables you will need to consider when racing on track:

• Time limit for activations is 15s per lap
• Boost only enables from 3rd gear onwards
• Boost remains active so long as the player keeps the boost button depressed – up to a maximum of 15s
• A minimum delay of 2s exists between activations (including once passing the start/finish line)
• Boost will disengage once the player passes the start/finish line

The LCD dashboard display presents all the relevant information, such as the number of seconds deployment on the current lap, number of deployments on that lap, battery and motor temperature, hybrid deployment bars, and activation status.

Car(s): *Note: Ole recommends buying at least the Touring Car Pack, preferably the Q2 Pack. All content from Q2 Pack will be used, and it will be cheaper to buy the full pack compared to single products!* The same goes for Q3 - At least Car Pack 2, preferably Q3 Pack! Also, Q4 - same thing.

Not anymore!

Now you only need to own the car(s) you want to drive. No need to buy things you don't plan to race. So now I only recommend buying packs if you know you plan to buy it all anyway!

[Lesley Buurlage]

Tagging everyone who has ever raced with the BTCC cars to invite you to this great race. If you haven't kept up with buying all the DLC, then DO NOT WORRY, we have the ability to just race with whichever cars you own, you no longer need to own all DLC on the server!

[David Steinacher]

I'm sorry but I'm not interested in BTCC and I don't own it. :/

 

[SwannyUK]

Ah man, would 100% be up for this but clashes with the ACC club races on a Monday.

 

[max1966i]

I don't own any of the BTCC cars so will also need to decide what car/pack floats my boat. As it's Knockhill I'm in.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Server is temporarily down. Doing another effort to get the latest update to work like it should.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Server up again! Server works perfect, but the issues from an admin pov is not fixed sadly.

 

[Stephen Gibb]

[Jimlaad43]
