rF2 MULTICLASS MADNESS - F1 vs 2CV @ Silverstone National - Mon 3rd June 2024

[Jimlaad43]

Multiclass cars are usually around 15s a lap different in pace, but have you ever thought about what it would be like if one class did 2 laps in the time the other class did 1? Well wonder no more, as the staple of cheap low-speed racing takes on the pinnacle of modern Formula 1! Two races lay ahead, where everyone will get a chance to race in the Citroen 2CV and a Formula 1 car an a short and simplelayout. The Silverstone National circuit has some good straights, PLENTY of runoff where needed and will allow for both classes to have epic races.

Information for all racers

The Formula 1 cars are pretty forgiving, so you should find them logical to drive. Please use the time before Private Qualifying 1 to do laps in both the 2CV and the Formula 1 car of your choice. Once the first race is over, you will swap cars and go straight into a 15 minute qualifying session, so there is not much time to learn the cars for the first time there.

Please be courteous when on track with the other classes. The speed differential is massive between these cars and crashes are inevitable, I can't deny that. However, Discord is a useful tool for dealing with traffic as you approach, and for quelling grievances after any impact.

It is the responsibility of the faster car to overtake Safely. If in doubt in a collision, the Formula 1 car will be adjudged to be at fault here. You have all the grip and excellent brakes, so your car has the agility to avoid a crash. I have chosen an F1 track with plenty of run-off (some tarmac, some gravel) so you can run off track if necessary.

However, Citroen drivers, do be aware that if you see an F1 car in your mirror, it will definitely pass you in the next corner. Leave it space on the inside as that is inevitably where they will dive to get past, and will be the fastest method for the both of you.

Sign up for which car you want to race first. Everyone will get to race both cars, so try to get into the grid which includes people you want to race, or are the pace as if possible.

If you've read all this, thank you and most of all, sign up, tag your friends and let's have some MULTICLASS MADNESS!

Don't be scared of the F1 cars being too fast, or the 2CVs being too slow and boring, both are easily driveable on a track layout that is easy to learn. Plus the multiclass aspect will change everything anyway

[Steve Le Gallez]

[Kresh]

I am in, 2CV first.

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

probs won't be able to make race 1, but race 2 should be ok, group 2 for me then

 

[Connor Minniss]

I'm in! F1 car first, 2CV second

 

[eN1xes]

in 2cv first

 

[Jimlaad43]

Unfortunately 5 people is not enough to run a multiclass. The only option for tonight is either one 30 lap enduro race in the 2CVs, or to just not race at all. Please vote either "Fire" for 2CV only, or "Sad" for just cancel tonight. If we go ahead, I need 5 to turn up or it still isn't worth it

"Fire", not sure where I am supposed to vote... but a 30-lap endurance race with 2CVs sounds mint!

 

[Steve Le Gallez]

"Fire"

 

[Jimlaad43]

If we get 5 people on the server by the hour, we'll do the race. If it's less, I'll have to say no sadly.
