RD Le Mans Series Season 1 (rFactor)

[Jorge Blasco]

Hi guys! i'm a spanish community member and we're evaluating if we run on this champ because it looks very good xD.

I have a questions.

Currently, the mod only have one SP, and maybe, in a future, when championship its running, Enduracers releases other SP. My question, the championship will update the mod when Enduracers realeses other SP or only run with first pack?

I have been looking any information about damage, aids.. but i didn't find it, where can I look? I watched on server and i look that it's avaible Free view, 50% damage and TC, low, med or high?

Thanks, and sorry, but my english is not so good xDDDD

Hi Jorge,

You are right about the packs they will come througout the year. We therefor have decided not to run a general championship calculated over all 6 rounds, but declare a winner after ever round (one winner per class).

Teams can decide to pick another car / class on the next round if they prefer.

Damage and aids are undecided so far. We are still testing the mod in the racing club and one thing is for sure: we will allow traction control and automatic clutch and gears.

Each round will have an independent championship with declared winners in all four classes. We have decided not to run an overall championship based on six races for a few reasons:
1) Not all cars will be available at the start of the league because of the service pack releases of the modgroup
2) Every team owner can enter another class every round if they prefer
3) New drivers and teams will be able to enter during the season 2009/2010

Session Info
* Free Practice, all cars (30 minutes)
* Qualification GT1 & GT2 (15 minutes)
* Qualification P1 & P2 (15 minutes)
* Warm-up (10 minutes)
* Race: 6, 8 or 12 hours

The race has a Manual Formation Lap and a Rolling Start.

Teams
The Team Owner must sign up a team for each round of the championship. A team must use a minimum of two (2) drivers per race. The team owner can sign up different drivers for each round of the series. Racing teams are not allowed to enter more than one car in each class!
Every team that is entered by a Team Owner before the deadline will be considered by the staff. The staff decides whether a team enters the league or the Reserve List (if any). Reserves may also be entered later in the season, but the satff must always be made aware of this before the reserve goes behind the wheel.
Required Regular Drivers: 2
Maximum Regular Drivers: decision of the team owner
Deadline for Team entries for Round 6: August 7 2010
Anyone can become a Team Owner by saying he is one, creating a team, finding driver for it and signing it up.

Liveries
Each team has to provide its own liveries for each round. It is the responsibility of the Team Owner to make sure the liveries are delivered in time.
Please read the instructions in the Liveries & Painting thread before delivering the livery.

Deadline for Liveries: Round 6: August 7 2010

Live Broadcast on Internet TV
PSR TV will broadcast all rounds live! We deliver our own experienced commentators.

To Enter the League
All entered drivers need to have an approved RD Racing Club membership, click here to get one for free!
In RDLMS each team is represented by one car with multiple drivers and a team owner. In case a certain team wants to enter several cars (with either the same of different team owners) this is allowed, however with a maximum of one car per class (P1, P2, GT1, GT2). A driver can only be in one car per race, so the same driver cannot compete in different classes during one race.
Team owners must, upon entry, provide at least the name of the team, name of the team owner, the car of choice and the first two drivers. The rest of the drivers may be added later (notify me by a private message, click here). There is a minimum of 2 and maximum of 6 drivers per car, per race.
Team entries: Round 6: August 7 2010

[Simon Melhuish]

Is there a max of cars one team can enter? i see its limited to 1 a class but what about if we want to enter a car in each class?

Thanks Simon

 

[Damian Henderson]

I think it's 2 cars max, not 100% sure though.

 

[Simon Melhuish]

So did i mate but in the info where you sign up it doesn't say anything about max of xx cars. only only 1 car a class

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Every driver should start with reading the format first

http://forum.racedepartment.com/rd-le-mans-series/20336-rdlms-s1-intro-info.html

The Team Owner must sign up a team for each round of the championship. A team must use a minimum of two (2) drivers per race. The team owner can sign up different drivers for each round of the series. Racing teams are not allowed to enter more than one car in each class!

Hi guys my name is Erwin, i'm new here, i want to join the leage, but what's up with the time acceleration x2, and even x3?
Why don't whe drive actual time?
Thats what whe do in other leauges, and it works fine:smile-big:, thats the thrill of enurance racing, long hours, little sleep, tired after a race.

Is there a "introducing my self topic"?

Because it actually adds a bit more realism, for example 12 hours of Le Mans will simulate 24 hours,because of limitations to the online code running a 24 hour simracing race will have allot of drop outs and so the best way to simulate the full 24 hours is to run 12 hours but with x2 time acceleration. And I don't know about the other leagues you are talking about but most Endurance series past and present use time acceleration.

I placed a question in a other topic (sorry for that), but Bram already gave the awnser, reply on the question of clipto:smile:
