rF2 F1 2023 @ Bathurst - Mon 20th March 2023

[Jimlaad43]

After having to endure Formula 1 in Saudi Arabia this weekend, why not cleanse your eyes on Monday with a trip to the land of the next Grand Prix - Australia. We take F1 cars to what is possibly the most historic and challenging track in the country, and one that many racing fans would love to see an F1 race around - Bathurst's Mount Panorama! It's time to get these cars blasting down Conrod Straight, flat through McPhillamy's and funnelling down the Esses. Damage is heavily reduced to give you some room for mistakes down the hills, so keep your foot in and catch up to everyone. Let's have a blast!

CRAY CRAY!

Sadly this is the other evening I will be having candidates for job interviews, so I cannot participate!

 

[Smidgey]

I am in and I won’t have done a week of late shifts leading up to it this week!

 

[Jan Larsen]

In . No DRS? Is there any MGU K/H etc to content with?

The track doesn't have DRS zones, so it won't work.

These cars have the MGU stuff just implemented in the engine side, so you shouldn't need to adjust anything. There are three Engine Maps and that's about it.

SERVER IS UP

I have added some AIs to the Practice server because why not. It'll also give you a chance to see what the track is like if you're near other cars or give you something to ride with onboard to work out what is possible.

The default setup seems pretty awesome TBH around here, so until I do more laps and come up with something better, I don't think you need to change it much.

Bathurst is one of my favorite tracks!

If we got 32 people for Friday's race, then surely we can get a full grid of 20 for this race on Monday!

If you're free on Monday, please join us.

Have you been to the "Manage Content" section of the menus and tried to install the track and cars there?

 

[max1966i]

Thought it was either the track or car but now rF2 is crashing regardless of the content...........looks like I'm out......

Make sure you subscribe to the car through Steam linked above.
Download the the 2016 version I have linked above.
Stick the track in Steam/Steamapps/common/rFactor2/packages then start the game and go in the content manager. In the local content tab you should see the mod track, click on it and then install and your done.
