rF2 S397 Endurance @ Vallelunga - Fri 06 Jan 2023

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

We'll keep using The Acura ARX-05 from ASMG (the same people who have made the Vanwall DLC) as it is BoP'd with the S397 Cadillac. While I know some struggled at the end of 2022, it turned out to be missing DLC updates and not the Acura luckily.

INFORMATION & BASIC RULES

• It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake slower cars. When a faster car is overtaking a slower car (in a different class), whether a blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not, the slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so. If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class then the same rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake. Please be sensible.
• All of the standard Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
• You do not need to nominate which car you will drive, but should specify in which class you would like to drive when signing up.

Acura and Vallelunga added to GetMOD, it even says "yes" on registered, so now that one should work. DLC cars are not added. It can be done, but the GetMOD struggles a lot with content that has updates (2 files for 1 bit of content). Also, I have a feeling S397 wouldn't be very happy with us spreading DLC content for free

In, will test if it will be GTE or Prototype

Akephoe 1 and 2 in then! ;P haha

Is there a mandatory pitstop for these events?

 

[Roy Magnes]

Is there a mandatory pitstop for these events?

Nope. The prototypes will have to stop for fuel unless they are heavily fuel saving, but the GT's will go the full length. That being said, the Ferrari seems to need a little bit of fuel saving or a lower mixture to get all the way on the full tank.
