Why do GTE cars fight for every corner under Blue Flag? Why is it so hard to lift into turn and NOT take middle of track then turn in and hit us every **** time!

 

Hi,
Even if certain situations can put our nerves to the test, this is not a reason to drive as irresponsible as you did in the last laps of the race causing yourself new collisions despite the fact that your direct competitor was already several laps ahead.....

 

What happens if you get a DT because of track limits in the last laps of the race and you cannot serve it before the race ends? Will you get time penalty or will it just be carried on to next race?
If this is answered in the rules, I couldn't find it, so please enlighten me

 

rFactor2 take care of this Situation on his own. If you get this Situation as described above you'll lose one Lap. No matter which Track. Unless P1-Gaming did change this Setting in the past but i don't think so. This is the default Setting.

 

Ok, so after a very intense race I thought I make a small recap from our RevolutionSimRacing #74 race.

Quali was interesting: loved doing the quali in the wet. Had quite some time still to improve, but couldn't string the sector times together. In the end we started 8th in the Hyperclass.

Race
In the warmup I tried to feel how the intermediates were, but it was simply too wet at that stage to run them. So we decided to run the wets. When we warmup ended I was a bit late with loading and adjusting my setup to the wet conditions, that I had to start from the pits. We got permission to get at the back of the prototype field and had to start as last. I was a bit pissed with myself, but was at least happy I could start the race. Due tot he wet track, I couldn't see much, which meant taking it easy in the first part of the race and get a start without incidents was key to our race.

Then we came up to the start. When we got up Radillion and Simon said "prototypes green", I slammed the throttle and got an absolutely amazing start! I went from P22 at Radillion (last prototype) to P7 (leading Hypercar) at the end of the Kemmel straight! I had such a good start that I started to doubt if I jump started and when Paul said to me "F*ck me Mo!....." I said: "That was ok, right?" Thankfully I was streaming and I can share that start here as well. There's no engine sound as my streaming software accidently selected the wrong audio source. But from my breathing you can hear I was focused and working hard lol :-D :
Check the stream at 45m13s (if the video starts at another time). Stream is Paul's restream from my stream btw :-D



The car felt absolutely great in the wet and I could fight for the top positions in the hypercar. That was until I started to get cpu spikes 10 minutes or so in the race. As I drive in VR this made it quite difficult to keep up a good pace. Despite my frame issues my pace was on par with the top drivers, so I kept going on. After my second stint we were running P4 and our pace was really good. Philip and Paul did an amazing job in the following stints to hold our position. Sadly we had an incident in turn 9 that resulted in 220+ seconds damage. Sorry to the cars that got involved in this incidents as it was our mistake! We lost three laps due to this and we continued fighting back from P12. In the last couple of hours we drove back to P5.

As Paul's pace was really good we decided to keep him in the car to hold off @Jan Kattau and @Emrah Mujanovic who were chasing us in P6. We almost got P5........until Paul ran a bit wide in Blanchimont 2 laps from the finish.......and we got a drive through. Emrah overtook us and exiting the pits serving our drive through we drove the last lap in P6. What....a.....race! So many highs, lows, so intense! In the end we got P6 in the first two races and we are going to fight to improve in the next races.

Thanx to @Simon Christmann and all other race directors for again a great race. Thanx to all other drivers of course as it was just super cool to see a packed field of 50+ cars! Amazing! And thanx P1-gaming for another awesome race!

Expect RSR #74 to be back next race to improve even more!

 

I just want to thank the organizers and the staff for this great event. Our team (Angry Bull Racing Team 1 & 2) had a great race and a good result. The race was really fun and I loved the wet condition during qualify and start of race. It was so interesting, because, different kind of tyre could be use, because of the dry race line with a lot of water out of the race line.

See you soon, in Silverstone...

 

Did we have additional to the dry server an wet server, or is the plugin buggy? Every time i have a look on the livetiming, this server shows constant 5% rain!?

 

I do not understand very well the hours of sunshine in rfactor, if the race finishes at 8, we will have a part at night, then will we use silverstone GT or endurance layout?

 

The main difference between these two Layouts are just other Billboards and bollards on the endurance Layout to prevent cuts, which will cause damage on the car. Pitlane is the same. Maybe there are more pitboxes on the endurance Layout than on the GT Layout?!

 

Well, maybe it's the most important difference for all of us.

 

Hi all just a heads up with our team situation. Unfortunately Atlantic Motorsport is unable to run two cars in the GTE class at the moment. This is to do with personal commitments with myself and with Mario Rocha out. Also we have Cristian Sanson recovering from an accident and needs to rest. Due to this situation we only have 3 drivers available.

If anyone would like to drive for us then we be honoured to have you but I would suggest hurry as the clock is ticking. If no one is wanting to drive with us by Friday morning then we will only run the #568 car with Tomasz Luty, Rui Silva Vierra and Ze Jesus.

 

Es ist richtig, dass wir diesmal um 14h deutscher Zeit ins Quali starten?!
