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.

Dynamic weather is used in league races and special events like the one from yesterday.

In regular club races we like everybody being able to join and adding random weather or heavy rain or another dynamic feature makes racing for beginners only extra complicated.

Although many people say they love to race in the rain our numbers from the past state the opposite when it comes to casual racing.

Lucio Distilleri · Aug 13, 2018

I agree, how do I know if a race has a dynamic weather?

BloodySalmonMan · Aug 13, 2018

in please Stephen!

Hopefully this one pulls a good grid, these cars are awesome! If it wasn't for the Aussie club race later that day I'd definitely be in for this one.

Hi Daiman. Surely I've got the pack of DLC cars as you may know as I've raced a couple of times on the server and I reinstalled(re-subscribed) Monza to make sure it's the same track and the same version. However a message saying "Package not available" still pops up. Any suggestion...? Thanks.

I know for certain that you have the 'Endurance Pack by Studio 397' because you have previously joined us for the events in which we have used these cars, as you have said. Can you please verify that the Oreca LMP2 is on v1.41, and that Monza is on v1.96. You can download the server mod from here, and try to install it manually; this may give you a better indication of what is preventing it from being installed automatically when you join the server. I have also restarted the server for good measure.

Let me know how you get on.

Hmmmm Monza is on v1.96 but the Oreca LMP2 is on v1.09....Wait I just discovered that all of DLCs are not on the current version by the look of things. Was there a big update whilst I wasn't playing the game maybe? If so, is there a way to update them manually? I though rF2 updates DLCs by itself tho.

I think you can unsubscribe and re-subscribe.

That's exactly what I just did 30sec ago and it worked!! Thanks Daiman and Shawn!

That would explain the problem - the Oreca LMP2 component is out-of-date.

There was a fairly substantial update for all of the cars while you were away. Steam should update these automatically, but if it has not then I would suggest unsubscribing from and re-subscribing to the items in the Workshop. You can access the Workshop pages for the DLC content via the Steam Inventory. Ensure that rFactor 2 is closed when unsubscribing and re-subscribing else the update might not take effect.
