This is going to be a bit different than usual, the track is fast with loads of fast corners. The cars are not that fast. Loads of flat out, drafting and... then La Source! Uh-Oh!

UNIQUE PITLANE INSTRUCTIONS!

​

You will need to have assigned a 'Request Pit' button and press it in good time before pitting.
The Red arrow above your pit box will NOT show if you do not do this.
It's also too late to press request pit if you have already passed the pit entrance.

It's important that when entering the pitlane you drive on the right side of the 'PITS' sign, not doing that your pit crew will not serve you.
Default pitlane speed limit is 100 KPH.

WHEN RACING
In our league we advise, on a normal lap when NOT pitting, don't cut the entrance of pit lane just incase you have your Pit request on. Short cutting into the entrance of the pitlane will give you a speeding penalty if you have pit-request on. Keep left of the 'PITS' sign and you will be fine.

Warning:
When you are low on fuel the game can automatically request the pit crew for you making the pitlane live. Be careful this does not happen if you are cutting into the start of pit area, the game could give you speeding ticket. Cancel this request with the pit request button. This should not be a problem anyway if you follow the above advice of not cutting into the entrance of pit lane. There is a line in your Player.json file that can stop automatic pit requests called "Automatic Pit Menu".

Serving a penalty at this track you have to press the 'Pit Request' button first.

I am maybe'ing myself in here, as I expect I will have to go to a funeral next week, and as I don't know yet, it points to it being towards the end of the week.

Is this the original layout or that league edition?

Is this the original layout or that league edition?

This is the League version - but the original layout. None of the 4 added layouts/versions.

So basically an update and some bugfixes.

Hello guys Hope all of you are well.

I will do a coment and i hope is seeing in a positive way! I don't want to be negative on this mod nor rFactor 2 obviously, because is my beloved sim! hehehe

So this mod... i was testing the cars and i could notice that the grip levels are way to grippy, like totally unrealistic for this era and mecanics of this cars!! To me was a big throw off i was really looking forward to do this event, but like this... no thanks!! Ole i suggest you try Bazza's mod of this cars on this track but in Assetto Corsa!

For classic racing in general... Assetto Corsa and modders quality content for this type of racing are really the Best in simracing for me !!

Try out Ole if you want, that way in the future we can enjoy it here!

The cars we race

We (me and Roy) are aware that this mod isn't historically accurate, they have more grip, a bit lower top speed, and is a bit too easy to drive. That's something the mod creator know as well, but it is a conscious decision as it is supposed to promote closer racing in clubs and leagues.
We don't use the mod that often, so while the other historic cars being used on Thursdays might be more correct in terms of speed and grip, I think it's worth doing some racing with these as well. They certainly are a lot more challenging to drive at the Nordschleife than Spa - but different styles of racing can be really fun.

Me and Roy are testing different things, and we have an idea on how to try to make the Thursdays be both versatile enough that it doesn't feel stale, while also having different speeds on the cars being used. Anyway - we know the cars aren't period-correct, but they invite to good and fun racing

Of Course Ole, nothing against that It's just my opinion, to be honest i'm really crazy to have the most authentic and realistic experience... just that! Hope you didn't take my message the wrong way. I really understand what you said and i get it! Cya and have a great race you all

 

[Pedro Ramada]

I think that if you guys make a selection of some good bazza mods to have great fun events with AC the grids will be full !

Not at all. In general I am a fan of keeping thing as realistic as possible

That's for the AC-gang to decide, I am only doing rF2 (and EA WRC) duty

[slideways]

I'm up for a race of this length. Prefer the posts and dodging bales but what the heck, sign me up.

 

[Redvaliant]

Bazza's mods contain rips and can't be used here - as good as they are.
These cars are a bit too easy to drive for my liking but any new historic content in rf2 is welcome.
For me, in terms of quality historics it's: the Trans Am mod and the Aussie legends mod for old school tintops.

I'm in please
