INTRODUCTION
Welcome to second official Racedepartment World Endurance Series event.
The Racedepartment World Endurance Series, or RDWES for short, is a series of (semi)endurance races we will hold during the year.
After a blast on Mid Ohio, we will again make a visit to the USA, to Sebring to be exact.
Sebring International Raceway is one of the oldest continuously-operating race tracks in the United States, its first race being run in 1950. As this track has a long history of Endurance racing, we feel we should honor it by this event.
There will be NO driver swaps allowed in this event. Total race length is 300 miles, which will equal about 2.5 hours of racing.


AVAILABLE CARS
The cars available will all be from the GT classes. In addition to the GT Endurance Series by ISI, we have decided to include the Renault Megane Trophy.
RaceDepartment will try to stay up to date with the latest patches and releases of these mod’s. This list will be updated according to the latest decisions of the staff concerning implemented patches and releases.
Available choices will be:

GT1
Nissan GT-R

GT4
Nissan 370Z
Maserati GT (taken out due to missing whipers and brake disc glow animation).

One-Make Racing
Renault Megane

SKINS
For this round, a custom MOD will be created. Everyone who wants to use a custom skin can make one and send it in a working download link. The DEADLINE is October 1st (!!!!), so after that you'll need to pick a standard skin for the race. Happy skinning guys! Don´t forget to put a RD logo on there. :thumbsup:

Dead line costum skin period has ended!

SCHEDULE/SESSION INFO - ALL TIMES IN GMT
Official Practice: 16:30 (90 minutes)
Qualification: 18:00 (30 minutes)
Warm-up: 18:30 (15 minutes)

All drivers must be in the server at least 15 minutes before qualifying, anyone who joins after the start of qualifying will start from the back of their specified class with the exception of people who experience last minute technical issues. The server will be open for unofficial practice before official starting time, and will be restarted at 16:30 GMT exactly. From that moment on, the server will stay up, so a nice rubber pavement can be made.

Signups.
To sign up for this event, you must have a valid license from Racedepartment. If you sign up, we do expect you to show up!. To sign up, please take a look in the Sign Up Thread.

For now, we have limited the signup list to 28 entrants. If needed, we can expand that number with an additional 20 drivers, so all can have a go at this.


Notes.
· Chatting of any kind during Qualifying and the Race is strictly prohibited in the chat. There is no need to say sorry/thanks/pitting/leaving pits/etc. Anything that needs to be said can wait until after the session.
· If you feel you were wronged in any way during an event and wish to report the incident, simply send the event organiser a private message. Please include a description of the incident along with a video. If you are unable to create a video, please include details such as who was involved and where the incident happened with a timestamp. Do not post reports/accusations in the thread itself - negativity and anger gets us nowhere.
· We encourage all our drivers to use Teamspeak 3, download here. Talking directly to your fellow drivers increases the fun and the ability to share information in an easy friendly way. It will improve your driving skills dramatically, Log in here
· Please take into account that rFactor 2 is still in beta stage and that technical problems might occur. If you spot a bug please post a (constructive) report in the dedicated bug forum here.
 
Why i don't testing on the server? When i joint i see "DQ" near in my name on the timetable, and i don't click to the race button.

I think the game remembers if you have got at DQ earlier, and the server have been on the same session for 10 days now so it stays....
Try to change car to a different class and log on, i think that will make the DQ to dissaper. Then just log of and on again with the car you wantend in the first place.
 
Practice server is up
Name : RD_Sebring 300 miles test
PWD : normal RD password
Session : 30h test session
Time scale : 10x

I cant get the "download mod" option from the server to work right now, so you need to install the mod youself - > get mod

looks to be some problem at the moment.... the server keeps dropping from matchmaker every 5 min or so and the RF2 lobby is allmost empty (and some severs are shown as double)...
 
When i try to launch multiplayer the game crashes within just a few seconds before i get a server list.Off line single player works fine,no crashing.Anyone else having this trouble?Maybe we should haul out rfactor 1 again till this game gets sorted out.
 
Skinpack is works fine for me offline! =)

However, somehow all the lights on the Meganes are appearing as shown in the picture:

Don't think its mod-related but I thought I'd post it here to see if anyone else has a fix for it or have the same issue.

Just tried it out and luckily it seems to be mod related (therefore it should be fixable).

The interesting part is this: In car selection menue each default skinned Megane is listed twice. In addition only the Meganes that come with the mod have this headlight bug (selected a Megane, was bugged, deinstalled mod and car was deselected => had selected the duplicate version that came with the mod), whilst the default versions look just fine. Hope that helps :)
 
I installed the new mod from the official server lunchtime today, but newer tried it….. now RF2 crashes every time I try to connect to the online lobby.

No matter what I do (restart, reboot, removed the mod, etc) it still crashes …. any ideas ?
