rFactor - Ideas for the new racing events.

Marcel vd Aa · Jan 20, 2009

In this thread i would like to see you share your thoughts on what you would like to see in the future rF racing club events.
As i said in the [thread=12325]rFactor - New and Improved[/thread] thread i am going to put together a list of a set number of mods and tracks.
I am currently thinking of 10 different mods and 20 to 30 different tracks.
This way we can limit the amount of changes people need to make in order to race.

After a while, i will change the list to accomodate new mods/ tracks.
I'm thinking three months would be nice...
Here are some things i would like you to consider when putting mods/ tracks in your list:
- They need to offer well balanced, close and especially fun racing.
- I would also like to see mods/ tracks that are realistic in feel, sound and graphics.
- Also maybe consider a default car class for a series of races (maybe openwheelers?)
- For the true hardcore simmers; what would you like to see for a racing series? (possibly F1?)
- Try to think a bit outside the box, no need to do the same kind of events that GTRe offers. Maybe dirt races...?
- In my opinion mods that allready have proven themselfs should be considered first.

I am sure you guys will come up with some great insights on this, and i hope we can come together on this subject to make this a great new start.

Regards, Marcel

Then sign up for the upcoming CART Factor events

Then you can go left with almost 400km/h

I have tried running houston in the cart prologue and that is left right left .

but I have every intention of doing the easy oval ones and may even pitch up for non oval ones.

Just downloading the TPSCC V2.0 that has been released.

I just drove the Champ 07/08 at the Belle Isle track in Detroit. Lots of fun! Just an idea, a "parade in the park!"

Christophe Berton · Mar 2, 2009

maybe some events on a friday? Oval racing, offroad series

or something non traditional

Ramon van Rijn · Mar 3, 2009

The approach Marcel did, is going completely out of control. Too much is ask and most of them can not be handled that easy. Especially when someone is new on the job.

I hope Marcel will still continue the rFactor events, but it will be on a lower pace and with a proper start to let him slowly grow into organizing things.

Sorry for the wait, but I hope you all will understand.
In the meantime the Monday/Wednesdays are covered by events posted by me. Suggestions are welcome by PM. But don't let it go out of control. The keyword is fun and driveable for most members. Preferred on the mods we try to stick to for a while (Mini/Cart/Lupos/E90/BRKarts).
We have other staff covering the other days with other mods.

Christophe Berton · Mar 3, 2009

ah
good luck Marcel with your new job, i am full understanding

Kyle Evers · Mar 8, 2009

We need to have a race with the VLN 2005 mod with like 75+ people from RD.

Ryan Callan · Mar 8, 2009

Clios at Snetterton or Knockhill would be serious fun. I've no idea why this site has never run the Clios.

Ben Tusting · Mar 9, 2009

RD did but it had to be cancelled as there were no signups for one race and the other race had about 4 signups and the mod is awful

The mod is really good, I don't understand people not enjoying it not even once.

Ramon van Rijn · Mar 10, 2009

For the moment we focus on a limited number of mods to give rFactor a solid base.
See the racing club for upcoming events. Within the limits, feel free to pm me with ideas suitable for most drivers.

Brands Hatch Indy so short laptimes with some straights, VW Lupos x 10 Trucks (the unrestricted ones) x 10, 1997 x 5 - just tried this off line the trucks out accellerate the lupos, the lupos gain on brakes and cornering, the faster cars have a race of their own but a struggle through the pack - the trucks against the lupos make the size and weight of the trucks really apparent, when your in a lupo there sooo intimidating -think it would be a fun event - what do you all think?

Kyle Evers · Mar 21, 2009

Maybe we could do some rally races.

Like the HRC mod at Pikes Peak

.

Ramon van Rijn · Mar 22, 2009

Please check the rFactor Racing Club; plenty of events running nowadays. At least on Monday/Wednesday and the Sunday F1 support races.

I am planning to have 1 mod replaced every month. Currently I am thinking of replacing the E90 for the BMW 1 mod. But I also would like to try out the BMW Procar.

PS. VLN sounds cool, but the cars don't suit mixed racing because of the great differences between them. It can only be done properly with cup racing, but then I think better mods are available.
