Rfactor crashed trying to load a car getting into the server. So much for practice then. Evil or Very Mad

Game needs to go back to practice so people can join, 1 min of warmup isn't enough time especially with all the server lag.

Also some of the driving is horrendous, Francois R, use virtual mirrors if the normal mirrors are blue, Jacob F, even though chute overtakes are risky they will happen, so please give people some room, you squeezed me on the start finish straight. Jason F, trying to win the race to the first corner, nearly took me out on both starts, its a 200 lap race, why is everyone rushing so much and desperate to pass people?!

I am not singling people out, i am sure there are others who i have not raced near during the practice, but everyone just think twice please. Its a long race.

I pray to God that people behave better on Sunday

If I may add a thing or two:

- If you get of your grid spot with great care, please get back into your row before the green flag is dropped.
- If you change lanes after overtaking, please make sure there's enough room.

Thank you for your cooperation! Smile

Richard,

I apologize the first start was an idiot move on my part, I didn't think I did anything on the 2nd though. Part of it was it's a 10 lap race, plus I was testing some things.

But I will agree with you, there was some Horrendous driving going on in the back.

We need another one of these before Sunday in my opinion. Only had about 8 laps while running in a pack. Another tip, if you are on the bottom during the parade laps, there is no harm in you using the apron while in the corners, they did in the real race and it will give the guy in the middle and the top, that little bit more room.

That is if they can find my head.

Last thing i saw from race 2  :aie:

I started test race 2 with factory defaults, so color me stupid.  Won't happen on Sunday I can tell you that.

Great idea this event.

Found my Chevy will be no match for Offy and had trouble with Foyt. BUT....I also found it very consistent, smooth and not too demanding. Even in race 2 after crashing to avoid Richard Coxon and a bit of repairs the car was still very smooth (a bit oversteering) and consistent.

Definitively ready for the race :banane:

Nice test guys but we have te be careful while in a pack. I could tell who had experience with ovals and who did not. Good thing that the starting grid on sunday is evenly matched (faster up front and slower in the back) so there will be less colissions.

@Mike Becnel hope you will see me grow in your mirrors on sunday too! lol!

I agree 100% with Mr Coxon, those of you who are starting on the inside on Sunday need to give the row more room. At the very least, your left front tire should be at the double line.

What went well for the first race, I overdid for the second with my setup. So one click back and I should be okay.

Hot tip for sunday, especially for those, who got their backs roasted by their engines on the start: take it slow when shifting up. You've got 200 laps, no need to kill your engine before crossing the line Smile

I think I know where I stand, but would have liked more laps in traffic, and not just traffic that were faster than me. I especially missed out racing with Foyt/Chevy cars. In any case, I did notice that I'm the fastest car in a straight line. Meaning, there may be a bunch up behind me in the short chutes. I beg the faster cars to not divebomb into turn 2 and 4. Alberto and Jason were very patient during race 1, and that's the way to act there. I know race situations will be different, but please be patient there and aim for a good exit instead.

Sounds like you need to turn your graphics down.  This track is very FPS heavy.

And this is the right procedure to avoid this from happening to you:

- Lift your foot of the accelerator
- Make sure your foot is of the accelerator
- Shift one gear up
- Make sure, the next gear is in
- Put your foot onto the accelerator again.
- Win the race! :conduit:
