rFactor 2 Technical Assistant
It's been a while since our last "Special Event" in the rFactor 2 club, so we think that it's about time for another! With the motorsport calendar on hold due to the current situation, this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans has been postponed, currently until September. But we still need our endurance racing fix... so why not take part in the race yourself, in this "Special Event". Come join us - sign up for your spot on the grid NOW! And remember to stay safe folks.
This idea is the brainchild of and will be jointly hosted by @Paul Glover!

INFORMATION & BASIC RULES
- Driver swapping is allowed for this event, but only one car per team can take part in the qualifying session. Individual drivers can take part in this event as normal.
- It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake slower cars. When a faster car is overtaking a slower car (in a different class), whether a blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not, the slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so. If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class then the same rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake. Please be sensible.
- All of the standard Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.

INFORMATION
S397 Ferrari 488 GTE will not be available
Unfortunately the recently announced Ferrari 488 GTE will not be available for selection in next week's event, even if it is released before the race. The reason for this is that not all participants will necessarily be able or have a chance to purchase the new car in time for the event. I do not believe it would be fair to expect drivers, who have already signed up to participate in the race, to buy additional DLC on such short notice so that they can continue to take part. Apologies if you were hoping that this car would be made available. However, you can be sure that we'll host another special event, including the Ferrari, very soon!
"Low drag" / "Le Mans" Aero Package
This is a notice / reminder that all cars, in all 3 classes, have a "low drag" / "Le Mans" aero package that we recommend drivers to use for this event. The package is an "Upgrade" option that can be enabled via the 'Tuning' menu, when selecting your car. It must be selected manually when you first join the server; after this the setting should be remembered, if you select the same car, but we recommend confirming this each time, by entering the 'Tuning' menu, before joining the server.
