rF2 2h WEC @ Nürburgring 24h - Saturday 31st January 2015

[Frederic Schornstein]

Yep, a livetiming is nice, but I like it when there is none from time to time as it is way more relaxed

 

[Daiman Patel]

Is there any live timing available?

No livetiming, but I can tell you what is fast in a GT3 in a pm by the way the video contains a laptime as well

Live timing is available - you can find it here: http://84.193.31.88/Stream.aspx
Just select the RACEDEPARTMENT.COM WEC tab at the top (it takes a few seconds to load, so be patient ).

Damn it now I can look at laptimes and stuff
By the way the laptimes in the 2:xx were not done with a fighter jet just people shortcutting the track twice.

I think I'll look at this race as a trackday event. Just drive around for two hours and avoid crashing/hitting anyone.

 

[Daiman Patel]

To do that I believe you would have to break 56 which was the number of cars connected at the start of a VEC test race last year.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they have some pretty horrendous server stability issues with this number of cars, hence why they now limit the grid size to 40? We may have to set a cap as well, depending on how many more sign-ups we get.

True, i did that once to. Because i wanted to catch up with my teammates, so i did another lap. Can you delete / ignore that kind of laps?

They are so obvious, so it shouldnt be a problem to leave them in. This laptime would require an everage speed of 750kph

 

[Jean-Simon Asselin]

sorry, I don't think I will be able to make it

 

[Daiman Patel]

No problem Jean-Simon. Hopefully you'll be able to join us next time!

Yessir... everything caught fire and it was very bad. Hence the server cap now

 

[Timothy Wheatley]

Maybe @Timothy Wheatley wants to put it up as a featured event or on Twitter to make it the biggest online race in terms of cars on track

Been wanting to feature RD-related leagues for a while, haven't really got much info yet, but if whoever is running the individual leagues wants to contact me about it, please do! timw@imagespaceinc.com

 

[Damian Baldi]

I been confused all the time thinking that the race will be sunday 1st, and not saturday 31. So I will be there next sunday.

You mean next Saturday? You are really confused

 

[PaulH]

Would like to sign up plz if any space left

Important note:

Make sure your systems can handle the load.

You can test the Vmod "serie" in single player mode. If you select the WEC Vmod it will allow to have more then 29 AI on the grid.
Make sure everything is running smooth during the start.

Lower graphic setting if needed. Lower max visible cars if needed.

Make sure you don't run out of RAM:
Lower circuit details and texture details if needed.

I also noticed the S2 times of 0.15 sec which gave the game away.
Otherwise I was going to do it and park up for 6 min and 20 sec and put a 8min 20 in there for Freddy!

BTW did some laps tonight and the GTR has kept its personality. The track is stunning and the realheadmotion just great. When I pitted I was looking for my passport to "get back into the room"

 

[Frederic Schornstein]

The livetiming is really interesting @Matt Horst did a really fast time in the SLS and with a few other fast guys in the SLS these cars could get right in the mix at the front after the first round of pit stops. Thank god the pit speed limit is pretty high on the server

Freddy how many laps do you think the GTR will do on a tank?

I think I had 45-46 litres left after 1 lap plus outlap on the sprint circuit. So say 48 left!!!! (17used)
65 divided by 4 is 16.25.
Will Ihave to fuel save!

and how many laps will the race go?
Will it be 15? My maths say the leaders will start a 15th lap. Oh wait a minute they are long pit stops arent they.
Edit: if a pit stop is total time lost of 36 sec then its looking like 14 laps.

Should be 4 Laps. I am sorry if it's close the fuel numbers were dailed in on much shorter tracks. The Corvette had been updated already. Maybe a bit less downforce can help as well as it makes fuel consumption a bit better sometimes. If you have to save fuel, it will be 100% fixed for the next event.
I could provide a fix tomorrow, but I dont know, if it would be too much of a hassle for @Daiman Patel and @Gijs van Elderen that short before the race to set everything up 100%.
