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.

If you receive this tag, but don't want to race this combo, can you please rate this post with the following criteria so I can work out future combos.

Like: You will be busy, or have signed up to too many other races this week and need a night off
Love: You don't like the F2 cars
Haha: You don't like Red Bull Ring
Wow: You don't like the longer race and tyre strategy aspect
Sad: You won't have time to practice and don't want to be uncompetitive
Angry: Other reasons
 
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....
