Behaviour on track

- as for all HSO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.

- Chatting is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in race session. It is allowed in qualifying sessions for technical issues only.

- Drive Through : If a driver has to do a drive through, even if there is no pit lane speed limit, he has to drive through the pitlane at 100km/h max (60mph). If he doesn't respect this, he will get a 30s penalty at the end of the race.

- Shortcuts : If a driver gains a position after shortcutting a turn, he is required to give it back as soon as possible. In the case where a driver would not do it rapidly, a 30-second penalty will be added to his total race time. In the event of abusive and intentional shortcutting, severe sanctions will be applied (up to definitive a ban from the league). To make sure you never shortcut a turn, try to always keep two wheels on the track.

- Respect the red light at the end of the pitlane.

- In response to the concerns of some, and after conferring amongst admins, we will be instituting a pit exit rule for this race:

Upon exiting the pits, drivers must keep all four wheels below the yellow line until it turns white at the end of turn 2, then they can blend up into the track. This is to ensure that no one comes barreling out of the pits and into the turn 1 racing line, potentially causing a wreck.  If a driver is spotted violating this rule during the race, a one-lap penalty will be added to the driver's total post-race.

Please take time to practice pit exits prior to qualifying today.  Here is footage I made of the exit procedure so people would know what to do, plus footage from 1998 showing Hearn doing the same at 24:18

ERROR OPENING BROOkLIN.MAS for me

Je crois savoir pourquoi

Je vais m'occuper de ça demain matin

If anyone has a problem with the track (Brooklyn.mas), I'll try to figure it out tomorrow morning.

When you install, you have to click into the Michigan_uspits folder then install the Gamedata folder inside to your main rFactor directory. Dropping Michigan_uspits into the Locations folder will make it show up in the track list but the .scn will be pointing to the wrong directories.

Also, for those that don't have stock ISI tracks installed (I didn't), you need to download the original Orchard Lake track because Michigan's .scn calls for Orchard Lake's .MAS files. I got it here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Aweeesooome! I will be there

I'm in!

Present, My first U.S 500

C'est la solution Pascal, il faut que tu installes ce circuit aussi, Brooklyn en utilisant certaines ressources.

Tiens nous au courant.

My Enemy i like Jedis hahaha (is only joke hahaha)

Présent

I'll be there

meme pb que Pascal

Edit : Ok, y avait la solution un peu plus bas

Is there a rule restricting chassis configuration for this race?

We should be running the super speedway configuration.

And any clarification on the number of qualifying laps?

brooklyn.gdb calls it a "speedway" track config.

Does the HSO online track force the correct config?

First post updated to read two flying laps in qualy.

Thanks, Jason.
