This summer // Cet été

This summer, the American F5000 series was scheduled but considering the small grids in the European championship, it's probably better to have a break with these cars before the series restarts in September.

So like last year there will be only "open" races, but this time, its up to you to decide what mod and track you want to race !
Most of the time we the HSO admins only chosed mods we like, and so never let you race on mods and tracks YOU like. And this summer, almost none of the admins will be racing, Antoine and Frank are having a break with simracing in summer, Martin could be racing if he likes the mods/tracks combinations, while I won't be home for the next 4 months, without my G25 so that makes the choice easier for me ^^.

So go ahead, make your day
Of course we won't accept everything, the suggested races will have to be real combinations of cars and tracks (concessions can be made to a certain degree of course).
Meanwhile, do not suggest endurance races with driver swaps as those races demand lots of preparation and advertising on other forum to be a success.

Cet été était prévu le championnat US F5000 mais vu les grilles réduites lors des dernières courses du championnat Euro, c'est probablement mieux de faire un break avec ces voitures avant la reprise en septembre.

Donc cette année encore il n'y aura que des "open", mais cette fois c'est vous qui décidez sur quels mods et circuits vous voulez rouler ! La plupart du temps nous les admins HSO n'avons choisi que des mods que nous aimons et ne vous avons jamais laissé roulé sur certains mods qui vous plaisent. Et comme cet été la plupart d'entre nous ne roulera pas, Frank et Antoine font un break, Martin roulera si les open proposés lui plaisent, quant à moi je serai tout de façon pas chez moi pendant 4 mois et sans volant donc le choix est vite fait. ^^

Donc allez y faites vous plaisir et proposez ce qui vous ferait plaisir.
Bien évidement nous n'accepterons pas tout, les courses proposées devront être des combinaisons réalistes de circuits et voitures (bien sur des compromis sont possibles).
Ne proposez par contre pas de courses d'endurance avec changement de pilotes, elles nécessitent trop de préparation et de publicité sur d'autres forum pour être réussies.

Dommage un ptit 1000kms du Nordschleiffe en WSC aurait été sympa

DRM sur la nord, ça pourrait être sympa...
Un truc sur le mans de nuit aussi ça me botterais bien...

I have always been a big fan of the CART series, and actually what brought me to simracing forums long ago, when I first met the BITDT team, was the CCC mod for F1 Challenge - I even painted two carsets for it, 98 and 99!

So i would like to see again some open event with CARTFACTOR, even if I don't know if I will be competitive with those beasts anymore (I was reasonably a midfield guy many years ago).

And, for a change, I'd like it to be oval racing in a BIG oval, with insane speeds, which I also happen to like a lot -even if it is not usual here-

So my suggestion for an open event in July (In August I have many difficulties attending) would be:

-CARTFACTOR (CART 1998 series)
-US 500 (Michigan) or California

Alberto´s suggestion makes me , i love CART Factor and oval racing.

Forget about oval racing on rFactor, we tried and it just doesnt work properly.

Well, then any other CART98 track where overtaking is possible, a nice and wide one , but better one that has not been already in opens of previous years.

What about one of the most peculiar tracks in the world, with enough space to overtake and with a great rFactor verions? I'm talking about Cleveland, Burke Lakefront Airport

Well if you'd ask me, I'd race with CART Factor on any track But Cleveland is really, really special, completly flat and empty, without any objects around the track to help you learning it. I think most drivers would hate it.

CART 1998 road courses : Long Beach, Detroit, Portland, Cleveland, Toronto, Mid Ohio, Elkhart Lake, Vancouver, Laguna Seca, Houston, Surfers Paradise.

All of those tracks are available, some in crap quality, but some are good.

DRM For me at hockenheim

DRM ou vous voulez

I Like Ludos suggestion another WSC at Nords or Zandvoort ....

But it would be nice to try out the DRM mod and i love Hockenhiem ...

I was trying to find a track that has not been in an open yet and has a nice version for rFactor. Portland would be another candidate, but it might be a bit short and narrow for CART, same as Laguna Seca -great track, but too small for good racing with Indycars.

I think that Road America, Mid-Ohio or Portland would all be good places to drive

And, I also vote for DRM at Hockenheim or any other track of the series

DRM as well, Hockenheim or Nordschleife or Deipholtz or somewhere lol.

However anything to do with rallying is cool with me as well, not sure what fits though.....

Les deux mods ont l'air d'interesser pas mal de monde. Y a plus qu'à.

Je proposerais bien une troisième course, mais sur terre ! Avec les 207 S2000 je m'y suis déjà vraiment éclaté. Mais ce n'est peut etre pas trop historique ...

DRM, mais alors sans le turbo. C'est comme les départementales, beurk le turbo.
Et, je chies sur les cylindres à trous qui puent.

Cart factor in long beach
F1 1991 HE in Adelaide or Imola...

Salut à tous,

je suis également intéressé. Seulement après 20h30

Oui, je voudrait bien essayer le DRM et quelques F1 classiques...

Sinon open pour une course sur HGT, dans l'esprit IMSA.

I did some laps yesterday with the CARTFACTOR mod, and I seem to have completely lost my mojo with open wheels

For me DRM would be good, CART sadly too difficult right now.

Canam 71 sur Road America !!!

salut Franck, tu as un lien pour tester le mod canam ? merci

for me it would be :

Track: Le Mans 1977 by VirtuaLM
Mod: WSC 1970

night race and why not with relay it would be great

Longford & TC65

Micka, remember that we only do historically accurate races here So if we race by night on Le Mans, it would only be a 24hrs race. That might well happen some day though :raclure:
