Sorry guys, I am not well tonight, I have fever and headache. I tried to drive right now on server, but that just isn˙t that, because I can˙t focus at all. I highly hope, I will be well on Sunday for HistorX, so fave fun all .

 

[Rupe Wilson]

it looks like on the exit of Stowe if you run wide and long there is a bump or place were it will lift the car but not every time. I've ran over the same area 10 times and its happened twice i cant seem to find it anywhere else.
so please be careful there.

 

[Ricardo Edelmann]

Okay guys can you sign me in too please? some guys cant come to play ArmA so i'm free to drive.

 

[Adrian Rodriguez]

I will try participate if I still can

 

[Janko Vanak]

hello guys, I want to drive with you tonight, but I'm still not on the sign up list, sign me in, please.

 

[Calum McLure]

I'll take some Ibuprofen and wait until the last minute before I decide lol it's the weekend so if I can't walk afterwards no harm done

I went through there a several times before and after that, so I think it was just some kind of glitch, but I will try to stay away from the exit curb at Stowe. Maybe it was just some kind of network glitch.

Any guys still having having problems you can try to delete all the files in the shaders folder after the new build
H:\rFactor 2\UserData\Log\Shaders
and in the Cbash
H:\rFactor 2\UserData\Log\CBash
the first time you load the game it will take longer but this should stop any flicker and give a better stability as it makes new files as opposed to updating the old ones and overwrititng

Relatives visiting so can't join . Sorry!

Apart from the confusion at the start very clean race, had a lot of fun and hope you guys feel the same!

Here are the unofficial results for the curious:

If you enjoyed the race keep an eye on the rF2 section of Racedepartment - the next event is already planned!

After all the hard work you did the past 2 days...

That was quite a race. I got pole with a big margin (around 7 tenth) but Dino hit the invisible wall on his qualy lap, so he was a bit down the order.

Saw a big mess behind me at the start and braked to late for T3, but I had already a 2 second gap there. After that David took P2 and was always around 1,5 seconds behind until I mad a tiny mistake. After that he was in my slipstream for a long time, but I was doing my pace and saving my tyres. I started on 100liters, so I pitted around 35min into the race and didn't lost time to Dino in P2 in the pits. After that it was just bringing it home, driving through a bit of traffic and extending the gap a bit.

I didn't change my tyres and it was the correct decision. Quite some tyre life left at the end.

It was nice to see full club grids again in Rf2 and had a nice chat with Dino and David after the race

 

[Gijs van Elderen]

I had great fun tonight!

I have not practiced long stints, so I was I bit in the dark when it comes to pit strategy. I think I have changed the pitmenu three times : tires, no new tires. eventually new tires. I constantly calculating my fuel level.
I finally came out half a lap short and saw Calum pass me.

great show Top 3 ! Jörn, nice to see you there.

 

[Dino Paolini]

Race was fun. Had much less technical problems today than I thought I would get; just one game-crash in the begining

Q: Was close to Frederics time after s2, but did hit an invisible wall before the penultimate turn Oo Just once on this superpole-lap and never again after that

R: Started from p6, made it close to Calum and we had an enjoyable battle for a couple of laps until we got some bad-luck and turned ourselves around driving side by side

My car was still driving normaly after that even though it showed damage on the pit-menu.
Tried to continue on full force until the end, but I did some mistakes mostly after slipping over curbs and almost loosing my car after that.
All that certainly did not help catching up at all to Frederik and I coudn't quite keep the pace anymore at the end.

Still good fun today, see you guys on track again
