A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you have to check and see that its clear before you re-enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.
When entering the track from the pits stay off the racing line until you are up to speed and do not race on your out lap. Let other drivers by in qualifying.
On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car. Remember, you've made the mistake by going off so let them by cleanly.

Golden Rule

Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.
You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Hi Denis, great to have you back in the rfactor2 sector!!
Sign me up please.!!
Can't wait for historic cars to drive.

What about one dry and one wet race?

I mean, these cars are relatively easy to handle, so a race in the rain should be great fun for everybody... What do the others think about the idea?

I love the idea but we usually have difficulties having a two digits grid with those cars. You cannot jump in like GT3s and be fast. I'm afraid many are not willing to spend 20 laps getting use to the F3s and then enjoy the grin they put on your face! So I'm not sure an extra level is needed...
That said, rain adds a lot of fun so I do hope we will get some more often!

Welcome guys.

I'm not sure I'd be able to set the server up for different weather in race 2.
Anyway, I think Alex is spot on. These cars might be a bit tricky in the wet for club racing. Maybe we could try it in the little Datsun? I just think I should get Thursday events up and running again, before I try anything new.

Craig Dunkley · Oct 19, 2019

I have no idea how these cars act in wet weather? ..the F1s we are racing tonight are great fun in the wet ..you can have to much of a good thing though, I am happy to race these either way
