Important: Please pay special attention to Racedepartment's Golden Rule: If you hit another driver and disadvantage him, we expect you stop and let the other driver regain his position on you. If this costs you many places (eg first few laps) then consider this a penalty for your driving infringement. Doing this shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful. Please use some care when letting the other driver regain position, do not immediately stop your car on the driving line where it can cause further accidents.

Joao, you hit the nail on the head mate. What a beautiful outset you posted!! Respect for the size, i wish more people would show that dedication after an event, fantastic :thumb:

About the driving, because i had to start all the way behind i had no idea it turned out in a mess like i heard it was.


And maybe i am saying this too early, but i ll make sure it gets raised as an issue to discuss about in the race staff forum. Its an absolute joke that we still have people in this club after all our precautions that:
  • Cant follow the golden rule
  • Cant do a 90 minute race without leaving after 1/100 part of it
  • Cant excuse themself after an incident in a post or pm
Imho, speaking on my own title: they do not belong in this club that we proudly announce as a gentlemens club!

Thanks for the post mate, you made my day with such a long read :kiss2:
 
João: The Ferrari can last 70mins just it's needed to turn down the revs a bit!:)

About results:
Unfortunately after I reinstalled my Windows a few weeks ago, I forgot to turn back "on" results saving ingame, but I thought about it at the end of the race and took a pic! Here it is!

João: The Ferrari can last 70mins just it's needed to turn down the revs a bit!

I know... this "thing" of mine about Ferraris is just an "internal" joke (something that started in GTR2).
Regarding the revs... many people the first thing they do on a setup is to up the rev. limiter. Wish no doubt works for many (but not all) of the GTRevo cars in sprint races.

Comes endurance, and all is changed as fuel consumption, tire degradation and engine reliability become an important part.

I did a few GT endurance races in another club, with a BMW M3, wish on contrary to C6R (for instances) is a true high revs "lover". More you can rev it, faster the car is...

Some found out (the hard way), after some racing distance (45 mins ie.) "strange" engine blow outs can happen with the M3 (an original GTREvo car)... and yes, there is no “red temperature warning”, the engine has a spike, and we hear the (not) nice sound of silence coming from the front end of the car :D

I know the ambient temperature wasn’t that high, but people running over reving in the Ferrari (shifting very high in the revs) should be careful, the engine will run hot (not too hot to blow up directly due to heat, aka red light warning and smoke in the back) but, after a while, on a minimal over reving (when going down fast in the gearbox), the engine might call it a day (I’ve seen it in the M3, the DB9R and in wtcc extreme class) .
In endurance, people who (virtually) race this cars and opt to up the rev limiter have to do like in RL, do some “attack” pace laps (to open a gap), then enter in “cruse” mod (to keep the gap) and reduce the stress in the engine after a while… but this might be tricky, and an easier option might be to leave the rev limiter where it is (or even lower it) and only up it in the qualifying session.

...Finally, I dont think I will run the Ferrari mod again. It seems there were a very high number of technical issues on the track. Not sure the root cause, but the Ferrari mod might be one. I would recommend everyone to uninstall it before our future races.

By “technical” problems you mean, for instances the type above stated? Or the ghost racers and "I see no one in the grid" glitch?
The later 2 are unfortunately common and I think have nothing to do with the MOD.

Some time ago I even did a post in the GTRevo general forum about how I thought we could reduce them… basically, more people join the grid, more likely these glitches happen. But if people don’t join too fast to the grid (let full synchronization to everybody happen 1st) or not too late (the same grid spot glitch), all will likely be well.​
