THX i had mod but not tracks, just downloading

joined, but what a surprise, wet track, used wet tyres but car slides like on ice with them 2:12 best lap


is there any time table pages like with rFactor?   to compare lap times

Looks like cool but dry weather tomorrow should be a fun race! I'm not sure if I'll be front, middle, or back of the pack but I think after about 40 laps I will definitely have learned a lot.

Same here

I driven around 5-6 hours of test sessions. Firstly on Brabham, and last 2-3 on Lotus (After I was announced as a Lotus driver). On Brabham 1:42.0 was very easy and without car setup, car's top speed was awesome.

When I switched to Lotus my time dropped to 1:44, top speed was very bad, around 10 km/h less, than Brabham Alfa Romeo. But after car setup I have 1:41.9 on my Lotus 79. It is very good in corners, but not enough to compensate Brabham's top speed.

On Lotus 79 I using ground-effect setup principle: maximum low clearance and maximum hard suspension. That helped me to drop 1.5 seconds. Wings, other suspension, toe in, differential, pressure in tyres, brakes and all other I setup with my driving style.

41.9

I think I barely did 42s in testing! How much fuel and compound?

20L, Soft Goodyear

It will be my first race on Rfactor 2.
Seeing these times, I am certainly very lost in the elaboration of the setup. My best laps with soft tires are around 1.47 high. The maximum speed at 285km / h without the aid of a vacuum.
Could someone help me with the setup for Brabham?

Thank you Vladislav Zenkov, i will try this.

Tested today and had the session go from dry to wet, man these cars are a handful in the wet, heres to hoping the weather stays dry tomorrow! Also sorry to whoever starts behind me, my 1.6L Turbo is a bit of a dog off of the line.

Reposting here from my post added to rules:

A quick note to be specific about chatting during a race weekend and general behavior:

During warmup/practice please minimize chatting, even when in 24/7 mode before a race weekend. Asking detailed questions should be handled here on the forum. Things like “Hi XXX” or whispering “sorry” when you punt someone into a wall is OK in warmup on race days. It is not acceptable in qual or a race.

During qualifying and during the race chatting is unacceptable. If you get totally slammed and screwed into a wall during the race complain on the forum (here) not in the race. Tattoo this to your brain. Do not chat during the race or qualifying. Not even “Hi ”

Why? Many of your opponents, even the slow ones, spend a lot of time and drive on the edge even when slow as growing grass. Chat messages will definitely distract your opponents and this is unfair therefor unacceptable.

Also note, /w messages that are sent as nastygrams or unwanted spam to another racer are equally unacceptable to open chats. If the recipient of the chat is still in the race or qual this will be handled like other chats.

Will one mistaken chat result in a hanging/execution? No way. Could a long drawn out argument after a crash between two opponents while everyone else is still racing and removing car parts from their tires result in a hanging/execution? You bet your a$$.

The time of “Post race XXXX admin decisions” and penalties like one race suspensions are over. If you drive like an asshat on a regular basis you will be removed from the series or HSO. Making mistakes is not being an asshat. Plowing into people over and over, driving a 3 wheeled car and almost causing a wreck, driving backwards, reading your favorite book via chat in a race, blatantly wrecking an opponent, or just general asshattery will earn a very impolite removal.

In summary: This is HSO, and we typically drive historical mods. There will be many times you drive a car too slow to win on speed alone. You need to race yourself and set your race goals based on doing better than your car should do. You must focus on finishing and doing so respectfully with your opponents. Don’t chat in the race or qualifying. Don’t be an asshat. Follow those two simple rules and you will be loved here win or lose.

Looks like I am going to be slow as @#$& based on your times.

I will be running quite a bit before qualifying tomorrow if anyone needs to practice passing a slow car

Should be there, maybe stream via Twitch

If all goes well, the race will be broadcast live on Youtube. Broadcast should be here:

Great Timo!

Absent today.

as weather changed a little here and some trafic problems , i am not 100% sure if i wiil be at time  but make all to be there

Another new guy question, I know this race won't count for season points, but would it count towards HSO stats? In other words, will I have stats after this race?
