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?

I am not sure but I can tell you it won't immediately show up as a race until after we get the code set on the HSO site for rf2.

Yes like Mike said once the results are up on the site (just a few minutes after the race, usually) you will be in the HSO database. See this post to have your stats appear in your signature .

I don't understand, where I can find my Driver ID for that?

You will find your ID in the address of your driver page here once it is created by the site, i.e. once the results of tonight's race are up

Race server launched, pass : hso79

I am sorry, bad cold hits me, so I am not able to drive tonight :-(

be there soon, first time with rFactor2 for me, when joining the server the game seems to load all 1979 tracks

Yes that's how it works with rF2 - we have created a package with all the season's tracks, it is merged with the mod (cars). You download it all first time you connect on the server and you are set for the year .

Georgy Koltsov will not be able to take part in today's race. He apologizes.

Seemed like a very Renault type of performance for me at Imola. I started 5th on the grid, and due to a small graphics hiccup on lap 1 had to limp back to the pits to repair my front wing. After leaving the pits at full tilt to try to make it back around I blew the engine less than a lap later. Not sure what I did, although I imagine it was mishifting to blame. hopefully round 1 I'll make it more than 3 laps!

engine blow up

does this mean we did not need to DL the 1988 mod seperately?
Im starting to get squeezed for HD space

Thank you very much for race!

You might as well download it early but anything that is different then server version will be replaced when you log in.

grats to P1 and 2 and all in finish


i end the race on one set of softs and 0,5l left in tank, in few last laps i was very easy on throthle to save some fuel


only bad point FF tryed destroy my wheel and call neigbours (ratling vibrations maybe from flats spots mainyl on higher speeds , and i thing i didnt brake too much , no matter how in Qq or practice always after 4th lap started this wheel destroyer

I will consider my first race on Rfactor2 reasonable.
I started with great caution and started gaining positions with the mistakes and withdrawals of others.
I was in 6 position dueling with Greg Hunt who was in seventh until he tried to overtake the S that give access to the pit straight. It would be impossible to pass this curve, there is only room for one car. Wolf hit my Brabham's right rear suspension hard, seriously damaging it, as the car started to come out a lot with the rear and that made my pace drop between 2 to 3 seconds per lap.
With this problem, when trying to improve my pace, 3 times I lost my car while braking, without major damage besides leaving the track and having to return carefully.
Congratulations to Vladislav for his first victory at HSO.

Nice driving by the top 4 as they lapped me. Also props to the cars that went off track and waited for others to pass before rejoining. I had a bad spin somewhere around lap 4 and overheated the rear tires. Spun again and beached on a curb for a good 30 seconds. From then on I was near last on track making only vulture passes. I did have fun chasing someone down but they eventually ate the turn 1 curve. Grats to Vlad for a dominant run.

Love this track but I have got to get my consistency back.

Sorry to our esteemed announcer Timo who I impolitely kicked from the server due to a complete brain fart not recognizing him. >

Someone ended up in the pits and could not leave. I will look into why that happened and how I can release you in the race.

Nice one Vladislav, dominant drive good job all finishers .

The site is having troubles digesting its first rF2 results files it seems, doesn't like change much I'm afraid :/. We're working on it, in the meantime provisional results can be grabbed here .

Impossible to beat Vlad in that car tonight. He's a second quicker each lap(our fastest laps were actually about 1.1s apart). I tried softs at the start to have a better entry to the race(well, I jumped Gerard into Tosa), but it wasn't gonna work against a works Lotus. I tried pushing him, but it seemed like he could take a cool lap and then throw another quick one in.

I see him win all races like that, driving at WSCC(CFEG) for VRC.One I already knew he was fast

I tried to nab FL for me, but had to pit a bit earlier because my G27 had turned into a steamhammer once again after a lock-up, so pitted for fresh tyres.

Too early, as Vlad left no breadcrumbs on the table for anyone else

Sorry to Greg, he jumped more or less through both chicanes and when I went left to avoid him at the exit of the second one, he spun across my nose.

There was some warp-alg on the server, so I couldn't tell if there was contact or not

Car handles OK, but it's still missing a bit of anything. Don't think I can unlock a lot more, can only stay consistent and see if those ahead of me make a mistake.

Thank you all for your congratulations!

The race was quite simple, the main thing was not to lose concentration. There's nothing to tell  

On lap 30, David Jundt stopped for the pit-stop and took fastest lap from me on fresh tyres. I also had to pit-stop to get it back and take the Grand chelem.

See, too easy

So you were on softs if you had to pit aswell, I guess...

Although I killed mine when I braked too hard at the run towards Tosa. From that point on, it got annoying to drive

I have a lot of experience in rFactor 2. As I understand, rFactor 2 is new thing for HSO. I think that's why I have an advantage.

In that case, I should have even more experience! Wasn't enough though, I noticed

I wanted to ran the whole race on Soft. I didn't even think about pit-stop until you made it and took the fastest lap. The tires were OK, around 70%. That's good enough.

is there any way to svith off tyres flatspots from FF efects or minimaly smooth it as i drive after 22:00 in flat so my neigbours can complain
