rF2 F3 @ Silverstone GP Circuit - Monday 4th March 2024

[Jimlaad43]

F3 cars are a simple car to get up to speed in, and one which regularly produces outstanding racing on Single-Seater Mondays. We take them this week to Silverstone, a high-speed circuit with plenty of overtaking spots. Can you tame the beast and hold on through some of the most iconic corners in Motor Racing?

[Steve Le Gallez]

I’m in please

 

[Smidgey]

I want to say yes but its my first day back at work after 2 weeks off so will depend how much damage mitigation I need to do first.

 

[jubes1971]

I'd like to give this a go please!

 

[jubes1971]

Do I need to change my nickname to my real name?

Do I need to change my nickname to my real name?

No need to change your nickname, but if you go to your Account Details page, there is a field almost at the bottom where it says "Real Name" where you can put it. Your real name will only be visible in the forums to other Premium members and RaceDepartment Staff.

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

i'll be there

 

[jubes1971]

I tried to get onto the server, but got the dreaded "unable to connect, probably due to missing content" message. Even though I am subscribed to the car and track.
I hate Rf2 sometimes!

 

[jubes1971]

Has anyone else had a problem connecting to the server?
Do you think there's a conflict with another version of Silverstone or something?
Should I unsubscribe and try to re connect??

Let me jump on and try to fix it

EDIT: I connected no problem. Make sure Silverstone is version 2.16 and the Tatuus T318 is version 1.20

 

[jubes1971]

I'll give it another go!

 

[Smidgey]

Will probably miss most of practice but should make it for quali.

 

[Smidgey]

Either I practiced in the wrong car/track layout or 14 laps in 25 mins is gonna be a push

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

I'll give it another go!

Make sure it is the Silverstone Reupload version from the Steam-link in OP. Not the discontinued, hidden S397 version
While the Silverstone Reupload is the same track, you need to subscribe to the Reupload version.

EDIT: THIS IS NOT A THING!

The times for race 2 are a guide, rather than set in stone. Race is 14 laps, which could be much longer than 25 minutes if it is, say, raining tonight (forecast looks dry though).

I’m 20 mins from Silverstone and there’s definitely a threat of rain…

Odd, I've been in Brackley all day and it was pretty easily dry.

Hoo boy, rain is on the way!

 

[Smidgey]

Yeah it’s been dry all day but it’s definitely gone overcast the last hour or so (I’m the other side to you)
