Salzburgring

Austria's second permanent track nestles in the hills of the Salzkammergut, a short distance to the east of the city of Salzburg. It's one of the most beautiful settings for a race circuit, with the hillsides forming natural grandstands and providing an unusual top-down view on racing action.

A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. You will get 2 warnings before a drive through penalty for exceeding track limits to your advantage. Any warnings/penalties are displayed in the chat window at the end of each lap

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord and in game. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify who you are.

I was just doing a few practice laps and it crossed my mind that the pits are a bit wonky and may not lend themselves to a mandatory pit stop. Maybe a 2x25 min sprint or a 50 min race?

Ah yes, thanks Rob. Last time here in GT4 we went with 50mins no (mandatory) stop so will go with that again.

Such a nice car to drive! I'm living about two hours from the salzburgring, nevertheless I haven't been there until now not the most exciting track, but it still has some tricky corners... see you on sunday!

A fairly high speed track. I'd say alot of fun IRL. A good one here for beginners to start of with, 50 minutes and no stop too.

Sorted Doug, cheers.

I would have had the chance to drive the classic X-Bow last year IRL on salzburgring but the event was postponed due to bad weather (ice on track in fall ). We went to RedBull Ring a few weeks later, which was a blast! Form me it felt much safer to drive there, will do that again for sure

 

[Interslice]

Back racing on a flat screen. Didn't go too well. Sorry to drop out. Will take me a week or two to adjust

 

[JamKart22]

Why have you stopped using VR? I did consider switching but can't justify the cost of a GPU upgrade and not sure I'd even like it.

 

[johnny85ac]

Nice and close race again! Close laps with Kimi at the beginning, thanks for this fair battle! @Kek700, congrats as well, very nice drive until your offroad adventure watched the replay and found out where I lost my time compared to you - you had a radical line through the cicane, man
thanks for organizing brian, as always!
see ya!

Qualified p11, couldn't break into the 1.20s.

Made a good start, avoided some incidents and was running in p6. Found a chunk of time by following everyone's line through the chicane until I got it wrong there and spun out.

That was my only incident and picked up places when others made mistakes, disconnected or (presumably) had drive through penalties.

At the end I was way behind Jari then all of a sudden he was only 6 seconds away. Unfortunately I couldn't bridge the gap and finished p5, my best Sunday result.

Well done to everyone that raced, especially Ernie who was rapid. I guess the prospect of an early night provided inspiration.

Thanks, Brian, for organising.

congrats, well done! avoiding incidents and gaining consistency is key!

 

[Kek700]

Ha Ha, lost concentration and off I went, but it made no difference in the end. I was not going to risk an overtake in the very corner I came off on. I was more than happy with second, and did not want to punt us both off.
I managed to get by Kimi, I thought he was on a higher wing setting, so I could get by before the end of the long straight, but with Johnny I would have been side by side in a flat out corner, thought better of it.
Good race for me, a lucky race too.
Well done to all who finished, a difficult circuit.

VR is great, but it is pretty intense. I find it's physically and mentally more draining than racing with a screen. Taking a break for a while.

Yes, my difficultycombometer was a bit off this week.. thought it would be an easier drive and the switch to screen was the issue. Seems to be a bunch of handling issues with the car that weren't apparent at Daytona.
