Round 1 - Lime Rock 200 [Feb 8]

Suddenly was thrown to the main menu and now I cant find the server

me too

my game can't even find the server anymore

Same problem, seems the server has gone down maybe?

it seems that the server is down.

Server crashed for some reason Relaunching now with shortened qualifying session

Stand by.

Server is back online, with a 20-minutes qualifying session. Apologies for the crash I don't know what happened

I cant "find" the server...

Keep looking Raul it's up there somewhere and 35 drivers have joined it

Typical..... here I am looking Forward to my first race... and then i can't even complete one lap (racing) because somebody spun it and rolled back on the track just when i was coming! Bam! that was the end of my front suspension and race

one corner and fully banged up already with a flat tire and by trying to get to the pits but engine blows

man these are so fragile but love them better luck next time

my engine was not ment to be.

or my foot.

but it was really great to see so many cars on the start line.

worth it.

Dang fragile butt on the T/A bit me, spun and tapped back of car on wall and kaput. I had already been collected in another wreck so I was just lapping for vulture points. Was fun running with Antoine late and one new guy early. Will look up his name - great driving. I think it was Jef Vannijlen.

Love the mod but swing that but a little too much and hello red parts.

Man, this mod is great, but it's a lot of work, especially for the boats.
My right hand is all numb and tingly

Apologies to any front runners I held up; at times it was hard to choose which side of the road to be on and when to let people by.  
Mental note for next race -- just because the fuel will last 81 laps, does not mean the tires will

bon petit fun bien sympa  je suis un fan de cette petite BM depuis le champ de l an dernier

content d avoir reussi la pole car les escort semblent marcher tres fort .
j ai passé les 30 premiers tours en tete a creuser l ecart sur Carl puis Philippe . une petite erreur a la sortie du 1 er secteur et je creve  je decide de pitter changer les 4 pneus et remettre le plein mais la impossible de mettre de l essence j experimente des trucs vraiment bizarre sur RF depuis une semaine

j ai eu ecrit un truc du style " no fuel during qualification or race session " ....

donc je suis reparti ave des pneus neufs  a la 14 eme place et  je suis remonté jusqu à la 4  eme , puis au meme endroit que la 1 er fois une petite erreur et de nouveau une crevaison , pas le courage de tout refaire une nouvelle fois en sachant que de toute facon je ne pourrais pas terminer car RF m interdit de remettre de l essence ...

petit bémol : je trouve que la course est beaucoup trop longue , je viens d abandonner on etait pas encore a mi course , ce qui fait en gros 2.30 2.40 h de course pour une fin quasiment a 00h00 ... je trouve que ca commence a faire vraiment tard ... peut etre une possiblité de limiter a 2h max de course ... ?? apres je suis peut etre le seul a penser comme ca ...

well done all finishers

C'est bizarre ton histoire de ravitaillement Greg, on va essayer de regarder ça

Pour la durée non on ne réduira pas . Celle de ce soir était la plus longue du championnat à priori, et elle a commencé en retard à cause du crash serveur. Les autres devraient finir à 23h00, 23h15 grand maximum. Au pire si ça fait trop tard pour beaucoup de gens on pourra éventuellement avancer le départ de 15 ou 20 minutes.

Pour une reprise j'aurai tenu 41 tours avant de faire une connerie

La voiture devant moi sort large du dernier virage, par mimétisme je fais la même erreur.
Il y a un leger contact qui me renvoie en travers de la piste.
Sentant le carnage venir, je fais aussitôt "echap" mais tant que la voiture n'est pas totalement arrêtée, impossible de sortir de la simu (est ce que c'etait comme ça dans les autres mod ? )

Ma BM est malheureusement percutée par au moins 2 pilotes avant de sortir du jeu

Je suis vraiment désolé pour les pilotes dont j'ai gaché la course.

Sinon ce mod est sympa et jusqu'à mon abandon j'avais passé un tres agreable moment.

J'essayerai de faire mieux la prochaine fois.

Merci à HSO pour l'organisation

Content de te revoir en piste Pat et que tu y prennes du plaisir . Pour ce qui est de la voiture arrêtée ça dépend des réglages serveurs et effectivement tous nos serveurs sont réglés comme ça depuis l'an dernier, pour plus de réalisme. Le fait que tu ne t'en sois pas rendu compte avant prouve que tu n'es pas un crasheur !

Glad to finish such a hard race , but man did I screw up the strategy Like Jason I was too optimistic about tires, and inmediately noticed that everybody was going to pit twice. Decided to stick to my error and go slow for one stop but miscalculated badly and in the end had to stop a second time, when I had Jeff controlled 25s behind me. To make things worse, my crew gifted me 180s repairs even if I had disabled them

Anyway had the feeling this was going to end bad after I got boxed behind Mike, who had fallen asleep in the start line

Congrats to winners and all finishers, and apologizes to Cyril for misunderstanding him and hitting his rear

See you on the next one

That was like doing the rally of finland in these cars ,i also was glad to finish that race it was hard work.
congrats to Pascal for great win and who was the kamikazi pilot in orange car that nearly wiped out a few entering turn one at warp speed

I pitted only once, tyres were in the last red dot (rFactor display), but it was driveable.
Maybe the Cuda burns less rubber than others, but I doubt it, I was sliding all over the place for the whole race.

As everything seems to be going wrong tonight, the site can't create the race export for some reason . I'm gonna have to do it by hand, line by line, so won't be up before 20 minutes or so, sorry. Just one of those nights I guess

I am knackered !!

right upper leg - lame
left calf - cramped
back - acking around right shoulder
eyes - flickerin
wheel - smelling of burnt grease or oil

I agree on having a little bit less laps.  

The car went well until oil temp got to high along with water temp around 104 degrees, egine started loosing power and i got scared, backed of a bit and lowered the revs.
I love my little 68 Camaro, its awesome to slide it on the fast edge and it's super fun if u go over that limit.

Did not notice the "repair all" when i pitted,  and took my crew 220 seconds to repair
At some point, i kinda ignored the blue flags with some people so that i could have some fun, mainly muscle cars   turned out ok and no misunderstandings,  i knew u guys where in for a little bashing  

Thanks all !

Thought for some reason I was going to make it without pitstops, but allas no, and the splash and dash allowed me to keep 2nd, but not enough, and required another that turned into a full tank as I forgot to reset pit menu....Was too knackered and had way too much fun to be annoyed.

Sorry Dave, for the tap/bang on your right front wing, I could see your car was coming in, but was too keen to decide to back out of it. A crazy track to have such contrasting cars, but as the race progressed, I worked out what sort of approach/attitude was needed. Well, until I decided to slipstream Antones Boat approaching the braking zone into turn1. ( as he was passing on the right, the European class.) The inevitable happened.

VERY SORRY ANTONE - unfortuinately, you were part of my learning curve.

Shorter races?.......No no no!
