rF2 Formula 2 (+ Setup) @ Red Bull Ring - Mon 23rd January 2023

[Jimlaad43]

The excellent Formula 2 cars gave us a great race of DRS and tyre strategy last time we raced them at Istanbul Park. We bring them back with softer tyres to the fantastic Red Bull Ring, a short circuit with not many corners, but a whole lot of racing potential. You can legitimately pass or set up a move at every single corner, so let's see what we get this week!

Eligibility: You must be a PREMIUM member. You must also use your REAL NAME on all RD servers and Discord, and include this in your forum profile. It is the only way of identifying who you are during an event.

Track Limits: This track does not have working Track Limit rules, meaning it is possible to run wide or cut corners without penalty. I ask that you please do not abuse this too much. Be sensible in qualifying and the race. For avoidance of doubt, if you put wheels over the yellow sausage kerbs on the exit of some corners while racing another car, you must give the position to the car racing you. If you see someone taking the Mickey with track limits, please tell them or me and we can keep track of it.

SERVER IS UP

Have problems to install the downloaded trackfile ! (Can't see the track in RF2 game )
Is there something special to do ?

Put the file you downloaded into: Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Packages
When you start the game, in the main menu, go to "Content and Settings" and then "Manage content", sort by install-status, and install the track

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

With that being said @rockracer
The track is added to GetMOD, and it is listed as 2 downloads already. So it should be enough to join the server, and the game will fix everything automagically!

[SimApprentice21]

Unfortunately I have night shift on this day

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

I actually have to work some of the early days next week :/ Need to set up, install, pair and test 48 new payment-card systems at a couple of stadiums. That will take time.

 

[Rich Green]

Thanks for the mention. I’m on early shifts next week and the race start time is when I’ll be off to bed.

 

[Steve Le Gallez]

I'm in please

Hey, thanks for tag, but yet no wheel with paddles on my new base.
So for now, no option.
Have fun all!!!

 

[max1966i]

Ed, I'll give this a go. Hope to at least run a few laps but can't say I've ever run this car

I have a setup on the first post. Give it a go. If you can keep it smooth, a 1-stopper should be possible if you want, but a Supersoft-Soft-Supersoft 2-stopper is also an option if you find the tyres wear too quickly for you.

The tyres do hold pace pretty well, even if you do go into red wear values. It'll be an interesting evening.

Ed, I will come om tomorrow but rF2 is being really flaky with this track. Most times when loading in VR it crashes. Other tracks are fine with the car, just seems that once it loads the track it bails....
