rF2 *Special Event* V8 Supercars Season Opener - Sydney Motorsport Park Sun 06 Mar 2022

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

To mark the end of my time as furloughed, and the start of the 2022 Repco Supercars Championship - no connection between the two. The 2022 Repco Supercars Championship starts off with a double header the first weekend of March, with one 300km night race on Saturday and one 300km night race on Sunday. We will not emulate that. However, we will do a 150km night race on Sunday.
Header picture and race-idea is from @Yves Larose

SERVER IS UP!

GetMod is available for the all content!
RealWeather is used for the race, please see OP for forecast.

Server should be set up for practice and qual starting at 19:30 (same with race). Also, RealWeather will not be active until the GT3 event on Friday is done. My free API can only handle x-amount of calls in 24 hours. So can only be used for one server at the time.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Ai having a tough time around here

Sheesh. Worse than me!

Remember, this is Sydney SuperNight. I would advice some night practicing ;D

 

[Yves Larose]

I just looked at the weather forecast you might want to practice under the rain

Based on previous races at RD... it never rains when we race Except for that one late autumn race at Oulton that we had start/stop rain

@Ole Marius Myrvold can I change my number to #66 please

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

@Ole Marius Myrvold can I change my number to #66 please

Of course! The only reason I've done the entries like I have is to try and spread the numbers and liveries. It just looks better!

 

[Denis Betty]

Hi Ole, could you add me please?
I'll pick a livery later, when I've had a chance to try the cars.

I didn't try them yet mate.
Are all cars the same? I'll need the fastest one if I'm gonna keep up.

Well i can do the same lap time with both the Holden and the Ford using the same setup so its all come to the preferred brand and livery

Indeed its been a long time, i'm doing well tho i still feel some remaining effect of the Covid-19 that caught a month ago. I'm also quite busy with work and don't have much time to race. What about you how are you doing ?

I got to do some very exciting sim racing things with some amazing people during lockdown, but have less time for it these days. Might be getting too old for it!

Glad to hear you're recovering!

@Denis Betty if you want to test the cars i'll be on the server in about 2 hours

Could I have the pink Holden please?

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Could I have the pink Holden please?

That would be an honor! (When I first started simracing at RD and internationally, I was doing a Gr.A Touring Car championship with only real liveries. I ended up in a pink Holden. That's where my nickname "pinky" came from, and also the reason why I've stuck with pink cars ever since!)
