rF2 RD500 2009 (rFactor)

[Gareth Hickling]

Isn't drafting in qualy going to distort the grid?

It will sure, Im not too fussed with this being a test race though really.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

We are running the server on very low damage percentage because with 100 procent you are certain nobody will finish the race next week or it will be a massive yellow flag party.
Can we please avoid the smoking engines from the quality from last week. That was kinda lame actually (mea culpa, used the trick as well)

 

[Peter Duivelaar]

Could someone please answer my question if everyone can join or only the qualified drivers?

 

[Ben Tusting]

I am guessing but i reckon it will be the Qualified drivers as they are the racers who are doing the race and also the mod only supports 25 cars

 

[Richard Kay]

Now I'm confused. So we can't now smoke the engines in qualy? Is this just for the practice or for the race as well? That'll mean turning the rad up to 2 or even 3 and will cost about 6 tenths of a second per lap. I'm not bothered if I have to turn the rad up as long as it's the same for everyone but I'd like some clarification on it, "please avoid" is a bit ambiguous.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

ok, smoking is forbidden

 

[Peter Duivelaar]

But what if some drivers can't race tonight? Will the server than be filled up on first come first serve basis?

 

[Gareth Hickling]

Sounds good, You would really think the engines would terminate after a few laps boiling over wouldnt ya.

 

[Ken Hunter]

One question though, for tonights session, do we still only run with the All American cars, or may we choose?

 

[Jai Spencer]

i really dont understnd that question...lol.
Why would we change the cars? This is a practice test race, why would we change the cars?
Did i use the word 'why' too much? lol.

I would say that we are all using the AA cars, as we will be racing those.


Winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnie

 

[Michael Herrmann]

i guess its the All American Racer cars as they will be the cars for the Offical RD500
jai ninjaed me*

 

[Jai Spencer]

lol
i win!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Ok the server is up and running with the specs posted in the official format. Besides that we test full course yellow (fingers crossed), 40 procent damage and we run 50 laps (or 1 hour max) with a rolling start.

RACEDEPARTMENT.COM RD500 is the server name and we run with the normal racing club password

Keep turning those wheels to the left guys :thumb:

 

[Theo Loonstra]

I won't make it tonight
For some stoopid reason Rfactor won't boot up

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Only 50 laps? Thats peanuts. I drive 5000 laps if needed!

:laugh2:

[Theo Loonstra]

I will Bram and btw I never posted that Only 50 laps part you fruitcake

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

A little edit here and there, lol.... But its true, you are not affraid to run 5000 laps

 

[Theo Loonstra]

hehe RDindy24hrs perhaps?

Or like the proclaimers would sing.
I would race 500 miles and I would race 500 more.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I dont mind, 24H timescaled and the light will go on automatically, really cool

 

[Gareth Hickling]

Going in!
