As stated earlier, my view is that Fuji is the best alternative - scratch built & completely legal, well built, plenty of slots, night support, applicable to LMP/GT racing, etc. None in the vote interest me in the slightest, personally.

Dont think its good to add a completely new track to the download list that nobody has ever driven, most default tracks people ran on before or know them from real life

Bram if you used FSR Spa, Dave/Shaun can provide a download link for everyone.

I voted Silverstone from the list.

Feel free to upload it: http://forum.racedepartment.com/downloads.php

then we can have a look, what are the origins of that track?

I don't come to the same conclusion, as the initial event at Algarve - a track with a very challenging layout that had only just been released - was great.

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 16, 2009

Yes and people had more then a day to run some laps on it and download it from the server.

A default track is the safest solution for now: no downloading, no install problems, no worries.

But please upload the track to the server, and then ill setup an event for it soon.

rFactor Lite users still need the track

Jup but with all respect, rF lite users can download the entire game content from www.rfactor.net and have a normal install.

Ivo Simons · Aug 16, 2009

It's uploading "Spa Francorchamps Formula Sim Racing" but there is no status bar and has been uploading for a while, seems a bit odd, only 33mb..?

Dave says the original is from Race, converted and updated by Shaun with full permission from the original makers.

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 16, 2009

when its from RACE by simbin nobody gave permission for it (100% sure) which makes this track unsuitable for RD as it is illegal

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 16, 2009

I have seen the movie on youtube Spa 2007, dont bother uploading it further cause it will get removed again. This is a modified version of SimBin's GTR2 track.

I am actually very suprised that FSR doesnt mod according the community guidelines on this one

Bad example to the community imho.

Henri Viirok · Aug 16, 2009

FSR is always using the best versions of tracks.

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 16, 2009

Best is not always legal. Simbin was very clear on this matter: no porting to other platforms!

We just stick to the tracks in the poll guys, gets way to confusing now

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 16, 2009

Are there any drivers that would volunteer to backup as reserve drivers, regardless what class? If so please post in this thread and ill make a small reserve list.

Ivo Simons · Aug 16, 2009

Wo i just see now that we have a full grid. Awesome!
I better set my setting to DX8 instead of 9. :wink2:

Ivo Simons · Aug 16, 2009

Just a question Bram. Why do we always use Tire and Fuel x2? Are we gonna do this in the League? Or is it to get more excitment in the race?

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 16, 2009

Because with such short races as we run now you hardly need to pit with 1x fuel/tire as a stint is like 60 minutes. Maybe we could have changed it for this event, on the other hand a lot of people hardly have experience with rF pitstops.

In a two hour race i think you need to pit four times (every 30 minutes) for fuel with 2x fuel use enabled

Simon Melhuish · Aug 16, 2009

All other cars follow in one line with the same speed. No brake test, no swaying.

Thought id post this to remind drivers

. As in the past two races i have seen cars swaying and causing incidents. Last night was the worst one, a driver accelerated on the oval then slammed brakes on which caused a pile up.
