what is fine on this event is the fact that I am not the guilty one
You should still be happy, because fight against windows server 2012 should be much worst

Yeah, that Rondeau isn't much good in this field. How many have access to qualifying tires? I do not, so I won't try to beat my own time on Saturday, rather focusing on strategy, etc.

I don't think that Stefan Persson has booked a car for the event.

Indeed thanks

While I was fiddling with the set-up on the Lancia earlier today, I noticed that one of the set-up limitations is that you can set maximum one pit-stop in the set-up menu.

I guess this will, in the race, not prevent us from having more than one stop? Elsewise, we may have a slight issue fuel-wise

No, the pitstop setting in the car setup menu only allows you to pre-set your pitstops. You will be able to pit more than once, you'll just have to manually adjust the pitsettings in-car.

Wednesday,Mercredi.L'année 2014,les qualifs était le jeudi et le samedi,je me suis fait avoir. Donc celle du samedi,c'est la nuit?pas fort éclairer le circuit,a part la ligne d'arriver.

Oui c’était un petit changement (juste pour cette course) vu que je ne suis pas dispo ce soir

Pour samedi oui c'est de nuit et en effet il n'est pas très éclairé, mais tu as des phares De toute façon d'une part c'est un bon entrainement pour la deuxième moitié de la course qui aura lieu de nuit, d'autre part c'est une course d'enduro donc la grille n'importe pas tant que ça

D'autant plus que c'est une course test "non officielle" qui n’apparaitra pas dans les stats du site

A little update on the rules for this race:

The maximum number of fuel refill allowed will be 2. Except for the De Cadenet and the A.D.A. in C2 (small fuel tank). You are obviously allowed to do more pitstops but if you do more than 2, be careful to not add any fuel (i.e. pitstops for repair).

I will check with the xml export and if a car does more than 2 refill, it will have a 6 laps penalty.

Why? Because these cars raced in series which were base on fuel consumption so we will replicate this. And it will be a good training because for the eventual future event with this mod we'll have this rule

Petite mise à jour du règlement:

Le nombre maximum de remplissage de réservoir d'essence sera de 2. Sauf pour la De Cadenet et la A.D.A. en C2 (elles ont un réservoir plus petit). Vous pouvez naturellement vous arreter plus que 2 fois aux stands (pneus, dégâts etc) mais vous ne devez rajouter de l'essence que deux fois maximum. Donc attention à ne pas rajouter d'essence n'importe quand quand vous configurer votre prochain arrêt.

Je vérifierai l'export xml et si une voiture à rempli son réservoir plus de deux fois se vera infliger une pénalité de 6 tours.

Pourquoi? Parce que ces voitures ont souvent roulé dans des championnats basé sur la consommation de carburant donc nous allons reproduire ça. Et ce sera un bon entrainement pour les éventuels prochaines courses avec ce mod puisque cette règle sera récurrente

Bring on the economy battle!

again...the same funckin problem





I can join, I see message about loading opponents´s cars but than I cannot see anything in reply window, I cannot see times, me in racer list. On the other hand I can assign a setup but I cannot load it...strangest thing I ever saw in rF online

Are you in spectator mode?

It looks like your in spectator mode. If your not perhaps a fresh install on a clean rfactor install

I am not in spectator mode...but I guess that as a spectator I should still be able to see the track and cars. I did fresh install two days ago when I first have this problem. I did fresh install and after one day it happens again.
