Perhaps we can change one or two tracks for Saturday, historic Monaco is amazing on rF2, but then we should do a rolling start.

Monaco is a nice track to drive but its not good for racing. I suggest we try Longford 1967 lots of long straights and 90 degree corners.
A rolling start sounds good after the Monza starts, random weather is good but its not good for racing as you can't see for all the spray.

The rain was terific, as for immersion i just fal in love in Assetto corsa, i am racing in SRS system and there any many fun cars, especiali ginetta and old F1Lotus and 90s DTM , how they behave on track is like watch orecords of real races


the old Formulas yesterday in RF2 was fun too but there is something what i am not able to describe why the AC feel for me better than RF2

YES!

We can change the tracks with pleasure, it's all about having fun. Rolling starts may be the answer too. 

I may create a poll with several options of track so you can all decide what you would rather.

Autodromo di Mores was also good for lower powered cars.

Please, password for rfactor2 server.

I enjoyed racing there.

More the merrier Honza.

@David, so this track is for the modern cars. I can take a look of course.

Its a modern track built in 2003, its tight and short so that you are never far away from another competitor. I think that I raced Skip Barber, Clios and F3s there.

I will give it a try. 

What did people think of the USF2000 cars? Like them, hate them?

They were ok, not too much downforce or grip, could produce interesting racing, but NOLA felt were tame and "meh" compared to Spa. If the alternative is F3's at Longford, I would chose F3's at Longford every day of the week.

I enjoyed the USF2000 but I had done some testing in them which made me quick on the night.
For the F3s I think that we need to know which gear ratios to use to achieve top speed when running flat out. A lot of time can be saved if you don't have to keep swapping gear ratios and then testing them on track.

I'm OUT of the race.
Working at the race schedule

Well Jacob was the quickest in them, so I demand he shares his setup.

Would we all prefer 3 F3 races then?

Say at Spa, Monza and Longford?

Longford, sympa et atypique !

Longford is a good choice for F3. Symmons Plain is also fun.

VLM Mid Ohio is also fun for F2000.

Uploaded two setups, one for Spa, one for Monza. Can't remember if I adjusted the gear ratios again on the Monza setup after the race. If it is the one I raced with, 1st and 2nd is too short for the first Lesmo and Parabolica, and 3rd too long for those corners.

There is also a version of Rouen Les Essarts.

I will set up the eve f3 server tonight for testing.

As for rFactor 2 as a league platform, I think it is terrific. Of course, it is a bit odd that the "rain" didn't affect the grip levels, but the driving experience is far superior to anything else. There is no more immersive racing experience. The game feels more alive than anything else. That you can flat-spot the tires and the dry weather road build-up makes for a much more dynamic racing experience, even if the effects are subtle. But the subtleness makes the racing a much richer experience in rF2, so I think it is well worth exploring possibilities in having "official" racing in rF2.

Hmm in every race I had with rain it was a massive difference and very hard to drive. Was very surprised, that those F3 cars seemed to be quicker on the wet track than on dry.

Perhaps that mod-tires weren't developed properly.
