I think i am officially RDs problem user; tried to connect @ RACEDEPARTMENT.COM GT3 for practice, using the pw I understand as current (ending in or) and didnt let me in; am I missing something?

I think it might be the previous password.

@Daiman Patel can you check this please?

Thanks for the heads up guys.

Right now, I'm practicing the track - if I get the hang of it, I'm in.

I had a great race. The in pit menu said 60liters should cover the 45laps race....I should have used motec, as I had to pit for fuel when I had a really nice lead...... I received a stop and go on top of that.... Goodbye win.

As the time scale was 10x.... We had darkness, only the gtr had useable lights. My 458's lights reached about 10meters..... Missed the apexes and later the brake marker... Car totalled... From hero to zero...

I hope these cars will get updated and receive all the same lightning as now only the gtr has usable ones.

Had fun on ts and hopefully more luck next time.

Was my first club race with rF2 (incindentally ran with the name Tantrisz), and I really enjoyed it even as the total backmarker. I simply don't get why people don't give more love to rF2 when it comes to racing. Even though I'm considerably slower in rF2 (than, for example in AC), I really enjoy the way you have to manage each and every aspect of your car, and adapt to all the dynamic changes - in weather, track surface, the behaviour of the car etc. I'll try to improve my speed, and then I will probably attend more events of the rF2 club at RD.
I used a one-stop strategy (plus received a drive-thru for speeding in the pit lane). I'm just wondering, could anyone do the race on 1 set of tyres?

Welcome to rFactor2.

Yes, for me no other race game than rf2. I own almost all of them, but none gives me drive sensation that rf2 gives me. For me only the feel is important.
Last night I messed up with the fuel and laps, but I am pretty sure that I could have managed on 1 set of tires. My stop and go penalty and the darkness without useable light destroyed my race. And still I enjoyed every second of it.

I hope to see you soon again and I am sure that the numbers will grow again. Now automobilista is new and people want to try it.

I watched a bit of the race, during the packing of luggage for our holiday. If it wasn't for that, I would have participated.
It's just too bad the field is so small, despite the entry level being low and rf2 being so great.

See you soon on the track.
