[Freddie Besems]

Great thx to all who showed up, and those who where doiing there utmost to join but couldn't succeeded yet.


to be continued.

 

[Stefan Beemsterboer]

I am disappointed.
I was looking forward to this since yesterday.
Ah well, I will fire up iRacing.

'sorry man'

did you use simulation mode? otherwise you can't see the server!

 

[Stefan Beemsterboer]

Hopefully next time everthing goes smooth!

any ideas for the next race are more than welcome, please PM me!

 

[Andreas Löffler]

yep.
Installed it again. No dice.

I was able to see the server an hour ago and I was able to connect to it but now I can't see it at all.

A simple mistake to not see all server is that you have not choose "Simulation - mode" in your player account. After choose that all server are seeable.
Maybe it helps not you but maybe Philip.

Qualy: Nice idea to make it in the dark. I had to make the lights off in my room that i see the track. :th_cool:

Race: After the restart start from P6, get a good Start and was before Au rouge on P3. After first round then behind Rickard on P2, follow him one more lap till he had a little slide which give me the chance to go through.
Then only nice racing on Spa - great. :car:
After stop (changed only tyres) i gave me target to lap freddy to be full motivated last laps. That works and finish on P1 :first:.

result:

Where do i go to change it Andreas?

 

[James Johnson]

Ben go to Realism at the bottom on the small taskbar bit. Then go to Difficulty and select Simulation.

 

[George Mastrokostas]

Crap.
That would explain it.
I created a new profile in GTR2 so you guys can see my real name.
The one I used to test the server connection was under simulation mode but I did not set the new profile in sim mode.

Well i enjoyed that blast around Spa it was great fun with the Porsche Club Cars, not my favorite Porsche but they were enough to wet the appetite for some more races.

I got off to a good start and soon made it up to 3rd but soon started to drop back a bit from the front 2 and by half distance i was 10 seconds off from P2 and being closed down from behind so at the end of lap 10 i pitted which went as smooth as silk, in and out with 4 new tyres fitted and rejoined in 7th place but soon dropped to 8th at les combes as i got caught on cold tyres. But as other started to pit i started gaining places and before long i was back in 3rd. I tried hard to keep up with the car in front and even hit a pb of 2:27.716 but it was still not enough so with a 14 second gap to James behind me and with only 3 laps to go it was looking good for a podium until tiredness took over and i stuffed it up at eu rouge :disapointed: Recovered in 5th place and was holding that until casper tail ended me at les combes and send me flying into the wall so i limped around trying to make it to the finish only for the same casper to pass me at the bus stop as i struggled to brake with a somewhat damaged Porsche, so 6th it was.

Nice to see such a good turnout for the return of GTR2 so here is hopeing for more of the same next time.
Thnx all. :good:

 

[Günthar Rowe]

Sorry for logging as KampferAs, was first RD event with GTR2.

I seemed not to be able to complete a lap without getting dropped or CTD'd ... I was running a fresh install that was about 3 weeks old with no mods and just 1 addon track...

maybe better luck next time...

 

[Rickard Norgren]

Wow what a awsome sim GTR2 are, had the best evening in a long time:clap:
Gratulations to the podim takers and most of all to Andreas Löffler who where flying in a pace of his own:highfive:

Could not get it right in Q so I got 5th on the row, then after restart had I moved up to 2nd, so I had a good start and could get up in the front, it did not take long until Andreas car was up my tail. and I never even thought of defending as it was to big difference in race pace, Could keep the 2nd and stretch out distance to 3rd before the stop, Then into pit for some tyres, but it was a long time since my last pit in GTR2, and even if I had trained it some hour before the race, was it all a mess, first did I not find right button to move arrow up and down on the pitboard. lol had the gas set to 0, witch made me to start work to get the 67 litres who was in preset to 0. yeah... I now know that you only need less gas then you already have in tank, to not have anything filled in.
Was out in 6th position and could move up to 4th due to others mistaces, But James who was 7 sec in front of me directly after pit was still 7 sec ahead at the finnish line, 8 laps where I not lost or gained more then +-0.3 sec/lap
I also got me a pb in the race with a 2.27.4xx :woop:

Good fight there James! even if there was some distance betwwen us:highfive:

Thanks Bram,Stefan and Racedepartment for giving us this great sim back:clap::clap::clap:
I am redy for the next event:highfive:

 

[Andreas Löffler]
