Time to put out an invite to some people who are racing in other clubs. if you happen to have rFactor 2 and are free tomorrow evening, please come along and sample the excitement of the rF2 club here!
@GeekyDeaks @CK1249 @abecede @Axel Moebius @Kees Veenstra @Michael Rudolf @Daniel R. @max1966i @Craig Dunkley @Redvaliant @eN1xes @Kamran Khan @RS242 @Boukâh @zn1zn2c @maxilogan @gearwhine

Thanks for the invitation. I bought rF2 as a part of an Humble Bundle some months ago. I just checked and I've got 0 (zero) hours in it, so maybe it could be time to stay using this software. However.. not this week unfortunately as I already spent my simracing bonus .
I may be able to watch the live streaming, though, and they would help with the decision of whether to join you next time.

I have had to update the mod file for this race to get the Safety Car working, just a warning that it will need to sort itself out before you join the server next. In reality it'll be a 1 second difference when you load up, but just so you are aware.

 

[Ingemar Petersson]

@Jimlaad43 is the event happening tonight or not?

@Jimlaad43 is the event happening tonight or not?

Oh yes, this race is happening. Why would it not? We want to show the world how good the racing on this website is.

We have 7 drivers now if you rejoin, and last time we managed to have an epic racelong battle with 8 racers, including a pulsating battle that lasted all 90 laps for the top 4. You'll find that this track allows for close racing with multiple cars, no matter how many of us there are.

How is the livestream done? Should I connect to the discord channel?

 

[Jimmi Allison]

If you are racing yeah.
This stream is lowkey though, just listening in on drivers chat and no commentary.
Livestream is done on the old RD Twitch:

Once we get going we will have some more than this

I've tried to find time for this (as you know I love me some oval racing @Jimlaad43 ). But... The Norwegian FA Cup isn't the most practical, and the matches are drawn less than a week before it is played. And somehow, even though it was less than 5% chance for it happening, the club here got a home match. Then won that one, and the next draw... got another match at home. It's great in terms of work for me, all the employees etc. but not for my hobbies.
So instead of having 4 matches to prep for, and work at in May, I suddenly got 4 matches in 10 days. Sorry.

I had no time to practice during the week. If that is okay ... than please sign me in.

both me and ed got a setup which drives nicely so thats not an issue, just keep it smooth while driving in the pack and you'll be fine, can even take it easy for the first part of the race and just follow the pack to get a feel for how it drives. as long as you stay within 1,5~2 seconds you'll still be able to catch up with the slipstream

Awesome, see you on track. Practice starts in an hour, and it'll take you two laps to learn this track, so no issues if you're a bit later. Use whatever time in the practice session you have to run around with other cars to get an idea of the draft and get used to both what it does to your straight line speed and how to navigate the corners side-by-side. The only really tricky part of this track is the Pitlane entry, so try that a few times.

 

[Jimlaad43]

@toosox @Ingemar Petersson We are about to start qualifying, please join quickly or you will miss the race

 

[Craig Dunkley]

Thanks for the race guys, I ran out of fuel in the pit road and there was nobody there to push me.

Congrads to the podiums.

 

[Jimmi Allison]

That was some good racing, good job. Lets see if we can get more next time around. I am sure Edward will leak some race news soon
