Restart Spacing Rule (**NEW**) (En français en dessous)
  
In response to drivers lagging excessively behind on restarts to get a run into turn 1, the following rule is being introduced.  
On restarts, all cars must be no more than two car lengths apart, and single file.
Failure to observe this rule during the race could result in a post-race penalty.  

*** VF ***

En réponse aux pilotes restant volontairement loin derrière aux restarts pour prendre de l'élan avant le drapeau vert, la règle suivante sera introduite. Lors des restarts, toutes les voitures ne doivent pas être séparées par plus de 2 longueurs de voiture et sur la même file.
Tout manquement à cette règle peut entrainer des pénalités après course.




  
Race Start Procedure and Full Course Yellow (En français en dessous)

The start will be given flying behind the game-controlled pace-car.

This series will see the appearance of the Full Course Yellow procedure. When rFactor judges that a situation is risky (a car stopped on the track, a spin on a speedway etc..), he will throw a Yellow Flag. From the time this Yellow Flag is thrown, overtaking is forbidden, but if you have doubt about your position, rFactor will tell you where you have to be when you will cut the start/finish line. At the same time the pitlane will be close, it will be open again for the cars in the lead lap after one full lap behind the Safety Car. For the car which are a lap or more down, they will have to wait another lap. rFactor will anyway tell you in the chat all these informations (don't deactivate in-car chat).

When the Safety Car is out, you must keep a normal pace until you reach the the line of cars behind the SC. Otherwise you'll get a penalty. Same when you exit the pitlane under yellow, you have to be quick enough to rejoin the SC.

Full Course Yellow will last between 3 or 5 laps each time.

/!\ On oval track the leader will have to be careful to not overtake the Safety Car when the latter is exiting the pitlane. /!\

Drivers must be on a single file for the restart.

*** VF ***

Le départ sera un départ lancé qui aura lieu derrière une voiture de sécurité contrôlée par l'ordinateur. 

Ce championnat est marqué par l'apparition de la procédure de Full Course Yellow. Quand rFactor jugera qu'une situation est à risque (une voiture arretée au mauvais endroit, un tête à queue sur un ovale) il sortira la voiture de sécurité. Une fois cette procédure lancée, il est interdit de dépasser. Si vous avez des doutes rFactor vous dira de toute façon ou vous placer une fois que vous aurez franchi la ligne de départ/arrivée. Au moment la voie des stands sera fermée. Elle sera réouverte pour les pilotes dans le même tour que le leader après un tour complet derrière la voiture de sécurité. Pour les pilotes étant à un tour ou plus, il faudra patienter un autre tour. rFactor vous donnera lui même ses instructions dans le chat (ne pas désactiver le chat dans la voiture).

Lorsque la voiture de sécurité est sortie, vous devez conserver un rythme normal jusqu'à ce que vous rejoigniez la file des voitures derrière le SC, sinon vous risquez de vous voir infliger une pénalité. Même chose lorsque vous ressortez des stands, vous ne devez pas trainer pour rejoindre la voiture de sécurité.

/!\ Sur les ovales, le leader devra faire attention à ne pas dépasser la voiture de sécurité lorsque celui ci est en train de sortir des stands. /!\

Les pilotes devront être sur une seule file lors des restarts.

Behaviour on track

A few behaviour rules :

- as for all HSO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.

- Chatting is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in race session. It is allowed in qualifying sessions for technical issues only.

- Drive Through : If a driver has to do a drive through, even if there is no pit lane speed limit, he has to drive through the pitlane at 100km/h max (60mph). If he doesn't respect this, he will get a 30s penalty at the end of the race.

- If you have a spin on the course, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure the track is sufficiently clear before you rejoin the race.

- As you exit the pits during the race, you are required to keep all four wheels under the white and yellow lines until you exit turn 2, then you can blend into race traffic. Failure to observe this rule during the race could result in a post-race penalty.  

- Respect the red condition at the end of the pitlane.

ok

Rookie question.   Why wouldn't my controls work at this track.   I had previously loaded Trenton and done a number of laps (offline).  
                So I loaded Milw the same way.  It shows up on the menu , Load Track, Race.  The car is sitting in the pits and will not respond to any controls. (Throttle, shift, steer ) but look right and look left work.

Do I have to go online in order to practice?  Is my new pit crew playing a prank?

Well I did join the practice server. And everything worked fine. I guess thats where I need to practice

Bob Holada

I'm...........not gonna be at this one.....8 and 4 year olds have their Dance Recital Sunday afternoon right at Race time.

So my car is available, IF I can get my wheel issue sorted out, I'm still gonna run some practice laps. So I MIGHT be able to help whomever Dan hires to drive in my absence.


Am I allowed to say no one ahead of me in points or within 400 points behind me can take my car?

I'll have to sit this one out, because I'll be on a class trip from Sunday to at least next week Friday; Have fun guys

Could I possibly have Fitch's car? Or just sub for him?

Ok Scott

Check in the settings screen that your controls work and if not, program them again. Sometimes when switching mods you change player profile without noticing and there go your old controller settings. Also, ensure that your wheel is fully plugged before loading rFactor. Plugging it once the game is loaded or even when you already clicked on the EXE makes it fail to recognize the wheel.

You can practice offline, but many people prefer to do it online as they feel the track different. Maybe it's the time response of the ping/lag or whatever, but anyway many say they feel a difference and prefer to get used to the real track conditions they are going to race in.

:praise:Thank you, kind sir!

Does this mean if Fitchy shows up, he gets his car back? If he does, of course I will step aside. Can he still get the points if I finish well -- as a sub?

I'll will consider myself under severe probationary scrutiny and do my best to not interfere with the drivers competing for the championship!

I now have much work to do.

The car is yours now for the race, Jason cannot just claim it back. Any points you score will go towards you.

If this track was a slot car the magnets are mounted in the walls

Is the Atlanta -Offy a good combination?
