Round 1 - 1000 Km di Monza [Feb 12th]

I had a crash after 122 laps...very frustrating         It was a good race until that happens.
Looking forward to the next race!

how many laps remain?

22 at the momenht

Race for 2nd place is a barn burner currently 

What's the rule to get points? Get across the line? % of the leader's laps?

You have to complete at least 52 laps to be eligible for points.

So, anyone that has done 52 laps(of the race) gets points?

For that particular car.

Car got surprisingly loose on cold tires going into parabolica

Tried to swing the rear around but it his the front

But not much have been much life in engine as it expired almost immediately as I pulled out of the trap

Regardless 5th is mine

Fun race :-)

A car has to finish to be eligible for points. And for a driver to score points in that car, he must complete over 30% of the cars distance.

O M G - 3 Laps to go, poor Mick

SHOCKER!    Speechless over here 

mick was doing great to keep it on track with multiple brake failures, but in the end, NO brakes at all makes it impossible. gutted so close to the end.

with that said, not sure what to do different other than taking it even easier on the brake pedal than we did, pressure was already reduced to 80%, should it have been lower? what else can you do to save the brakes? looks like we weren't the only ones to have an issue.

dave

massive brake problems on our side, too

omg what a showdown

I assure you all we will be looking into the brakes question.

Thank you all for attending and running this race, and i promise that i will correct a few things for the next one.

We too have Brake Problems, I lost my 3rd brake when I lost my front left wheel after the front right failed going into the last turn

Lost the 1st brake on Lap 144 or something like that, the other two failed in quick succession

But at least 4th or 3rd place just now

Big condolences to Mick and crew especially and to all that crashed out

Did you swap drivers? Did it change nothing for you?

I am also sorry to Juha, he just might have lost the tenths behind me, I didn't know the race for the win was going to be so close and the decision just ahead

much appreciated!  dont get me wrong, i pretty hard the first 2 stints, so in hindsight, taking it easy the entire race might have been enough, but with no information available in testing it makes it nearly impossible to predict.  at least with f1 1991 it displays the amount left in the garage after each practice run, so you can calculate a wear rate and see if you will make it.

PS> Jundt the first of the brakes let go (i think front right) only a couple laps after mick switched into the car.  didnt think to swap at that point, it was fueled to the finish.  if it does make a difference swapping, then that is quite interesting.

No worries. I'll live to race another day.

I am not sure how and why, but our WM Peugeot got his brakes back after either the (long) repair stop or swapping drivers.

I nearly beat my fastest lap near the end, so they were suddenly fine

BTW Richard I was filling with a full tank and changing tires in 16 seconds...

I must have been given the F1 pit crew for the 512...

The car is reset during a driver swap. It's a bug from rFactor. But as soon as the game records a contact for the second driver, the car is damaged again as it was for the first driver before the swap. (obviously if a tire was missing and was fixed, you will not lose it, but the engine, aero etc will be damaged again).

Thanks for the reports, we will be working on all that. I should anyway say that some of these oddities are actually inherited from the original VLM mod and were not subject to changes in the new physics by Ricardo. They were supposed to be correct - but alas no

So...

if I tap a barrier very lightly, I'll get the "no brakes"-issue right away again??!

And with engine and aero damage, you mean technical but not visual?


Because I'd be worried if one light tap would show the whole body as damaged again...
