GP247 Speedweeks I - Prototypes (March 5-20)

Group C and 1999 Prototypes

For the first of our series of Speedweeks, we will run sports-prototypes cars together, with the 1999 Toyota GT-One and Mercedes CLR sharing the track with the 1991 Group C cars of MAK-Corp's mod. All cars are available on Steam (free content).


Group C Mod v1.1 by MAK-Corp

The 1991 Group C mod includes the Mazda 787B, Porsche 962C and the Sauber-Mercedes C11 in the latest version of the mod for rFactor 2. Featuring unique realistic physics for each vehicle as well as different tire compounds, this is your chance to get behind the wheel of the three most iconic racing cars in the history of Group C racing.

Apex Endurance by Yoss

From the Apex modding team come two equally iconic Le Mans cars of 1999 : the Mercedes-Benz CLR and Toyota GT-One. The cars were both released as stand-alones, each coming with their own specs and physics.

The objective is to hotlap with all the cars as many times as you wish, however respect other drivers as you would in normal race qualifying conditions. Also note, not everyone is hotlapping as this is also set up for testing setups, team practice etc.

Have fun and enjoy!

- 1991 Porsche 962C

Great! The best cars in the history of endurance racing! One of these days I will try Toyota LMGTP and Porsche 962.

Great!

I will be doing some laps...

Done

Hi Drivers

With reference to the MAK-Corp mod, I am no setup guru and try to build ones that allow me to drive with my rig consistently.
I have a G27 with Fanatec Elite ($99) pedals.
My pace is Gentleman Driver. Not a fancy package!

Using the standard TUNING (high downforce packages) I used these setups.

Porsche http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=04395760871995061866
Sauber http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=13757760271096139493
Mazda http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=87767685145056237593

Maybe these setups help some drivers get in the groove.
Note that the TUNING menu has many variants including aero packages and tyre brands, while the setups themselves also have many hidden turbo boosts and qualy modes worth exploring.

Feel free to share your setups or ask questions.

Vadim and I just had about a 3 hour plus fast lap duel. Looks like the Sauber might be the fastest but the Mazda and 962 are not far off. I suspect Vadim will knock off my fast lap next time he tries.

Je suis le seul à avoir essayé les 1999 !  dans toutes les catégories que je teste, je suis en retard de deux a quatre secondes .... désespérant, mon niveau est vraiment trop faible .... et pourtant je travaille

99s are next

Now we're talking!

Highly encourage everybody to start with the 787B.
A real pleasure to drive. Smooth and forgiving in every way.
962C is a workhorse. Not a beast...also not tamed.

i never understood why games featured the Sauber c9 - ever. Ugly thing.
If you want 80's power and early 90's lets do this computing - RUN THE C11.
One of the best race cars ever created - driven by an army of talent back then.

Also - the sound is AMAZING

The sounds are pretty awesome indeed, that Mazda sounds just like the real deal

Reminds me of a two-stroke kart I used to race

Wreckers or checkers with that setup. I spun it 4 times in the 8 lap fun race with Vadim. I think he spun his once at the last turn and went wayyyyy off track. I broke the car badly on the first or second spin but finished.

hi where can I see the fast laps ranking?

Oh you and Martin are sneaky bi%^&*$. I did not notice the laps. I will rectify this situation ASAP.

Did you just change the deadline?

I have until the 20th, no need to change to stomp your speedy ass!
