Round 1 - 1954 Grand Prix de Spa [rF2 | January 26]

Georg Walz

# 21

Hi Georg, welcome

OK for the #21 Aston-Martin but please make sure you also use your real name on the server (i.e. "Georg Walz" not "georgwalz01" ) - see here for details on how to do it.

Think I'll have #39 and complete the "Porch" trio.

Washing the car now with holy water before practice. Need all the help possible.

That'll work Herr Jundt

Race server launched, pass : hso54 .

There is a 15-minute practice session before qualifying, in order to build a bit of groove on the track, and the 1-hour qualifying session will start at 20:00 CET.

Good race to all, be wise at the start and afterwards too .

Any Infos?
Reconlap active, but no formartion lap so massive chaos. Why no restart?

Sorry dunno what went wrong... I restarted the race, not the warm-up and my PC froze when I rejoined.

Trying to restart now.

Server relaunched with 15 minutes qualy, best I can do for now, sorry .

Welp, Lap 3, chasing Mike through Burnenville, went wide at the exit and I died.....

Was fun while it lasted..

I will say, this is a really fun mod, and I probably learned more chasing Mike for 2 laps then I had in all my practice laps. Looking forward to running Briggs' Ferrari again.

A shame with the (server?) issues we had, it is an amazing mod for sure.

Lost concentration in the delay and hurt the car on the warm-up lap. Lost concentration even more a few laps later.

I hope recon laps is not making a permanent return, they are not important. The racing is important.

Wrecked my Cunningham due to driving error. But stll amazed by thr mod and Petr comeback. WTG mate

I threw my 1.5l class lead away

big grats to Petr, he is alien at all




at the start i was overtaken maybe litle harder than i expect in these cars, but then i get the way back

on about 10th lap i lost the car a little and lost nice 10s gap to nearly zero and the hard part started again

I could not shake your car! Nice driving. Sorry you wrecked.

Really had fun chasing Honza after I had a long long spin just before the beginning of the first long straight.


David you had that little car of yours absolutely flying.

Server cut the race short just as I saw the Shell sign before last turn. Was a fantastic race. I am shocked I finished because I was not laying off. I found when I tried to back off I crashed more often.


Server was clearly an issue and we will figure out what caused the issues. Sorry for the distraction.

Grats to Petr and all class winners and podium sitters!

Catastrophique ! c'est le premier mot qui me viens a l'esprit, plutôt pas mal en qualification puisque je me positionne dans le top 10 en 4.26/4.27 , la dernière qualification  ( et oui, y en a eu trois  ) .

Je trouve le moyen d’endommager légèrement ma Lagonda en faufilant comme je peu entre les voitures et l’extérieure de la piste à la recherche de ma place sur la grille .

Enfin le départ !! P6 , on démarre prudemment , dès le premier tour pour une raison inconnue , je perd le contrôle du bolide dans le second droit de "la Carrière ", courbe dans la laquelle de mémoire je ne mettais jamais raté ... il fallait une première !! . Dégât important  , triangle , quasiment tout l'avant mais je peu rouler.

1er pit demander , et là !! catastrophe !!  je m'aperçois que j'ai pas mis le setup de course mais celui des qualifications avec 40 L , avec toutes ses péripéties j'ai oublié de changer.

J'arrive au stand , deux minutes de réparation et je m'aperçois que je ne peu pas me ravitailler je me dit qu'il est possible de le faire au prochain tour  je repart demande de pit n° 2 pas de ravitaillement il me refait les pneus , stop , je repart et je me prends une pénalité pour vitesse excessive  et je fais encore deux tours et je viens mourir en panne sèche en bas a droite de "l Eau Rouge" pendant que Pert fête sa superbe victoire en faisant des "burns".

Pour finir félicitation au vainqueur , au podium et a tout ceux qui ont terminé la course et aussi au staff malgré les difficultés. j’espère que quand même a faire les 90% mais j'en doute puisque j'ai effectué 9/12 , la poisse ....

Race results & replay available on the site. Gold Star championship standings updated.

Apologies for the mess, all went well until it didn't. Our first rF2 race last week went too smoothly I guess, we got all the bugs here .

Great race to watch though, as I rejoined after being disconnected in the formation lap .

Saw Steve take the lead only to lose it in Masta. Grats to Peter for his dream return !

Nice fights behind notably Jukka vs. Matthias and the admin clash of Mike and Honza .

rF2 is scared of me

Honza was in a 3000 car so not a fair fight given we are usually pretty equal skill wise. I just waited patiently to not screw up the exit onto a fast straight and let the 5.0 Ferrari V12 do the rest.

Jukka and the other 3000 series car finishing in the top 4 is impressive.

I got a top 5 at the death track! Shocked. Just wanted to finish.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable, almost a race-long battle with Matthias The Aston didn't quite have the legs on the straights but it handled the turns just beautifully

OMG that was amazing experience! Great race, great cars...just fun.
Thx Mike for nice battle, I pushed my six cylinder to the limit, it was better at turns, but not enough at straights, i really enjoy that!

Thx Frank for hard work, childhood complaints, it will be better next time, no problem.

Ever since I moved my thumb three months ago, I knew i'll race again. But this exceeded all my hopes, wishes and expectations. I'm sure this was the best possible car/track combination and such result is an exception, but it feels great, anyway It was a relatively smooth ride until I made two huge mistakes at LaSource. I stood on the brake but the car just won't slow down. Maybe my left foot slipped to clutch, maybe the strength in my foot simply faded. I don't know, but had to make two burnouts to get back on track (Ferrari has no reverse gear ). Steve passed me, but died at Masta shortly after. It was a pleasure cruise since then.

Thanks for solving the issue with server and letting me race!

Sorry again for the mess, that kinda spoiled the fun a bit . Thanks for your patience though , it was really an admin's nightmare

Still not sure what happened to be honest. It all went perfectly well until it didn't, at which point it became just loco.

Weirdest thing was to have Petr's car become invisible when we switched to race session . No idea why the formation lap was skipped either, as all the settings were correct. I could not log in as an administrator either, so that didn't help.

During qualy I warped badly at least once per lap, so something was wrong with my internet. Turns out there was a short-circuit in the outlet my box is plugged on, and just as the race was going to start it went up in smoke, throwing me out of the server... So not only was it a shitty admin night for me, it was an awful racing one as well !

Too bad since this mod is such a joy to race with. Especially in close battle, thrilling stuff ! The differences between the cars look very close to the real deal, will be interesting to see how tire wear and fuel consumption weight in on that in longer races.

Now thats a major mess to have actual hardware to go in smoke ! Thankfully nothing worse has happened, Frank.

Thank you for hosting our cars for your race. It wasn't all great, but you can't expect things to always be brilliant and successful. My internet was also quite unstable yesterday, and it was first time I have participated in a real rF2 online race with big grid. I learned that I must improve my internet connection.

By the end of whole thing I was quite tired and distracted, and then crashed trying to go too much over the limit, it was first time I crashed in this server, I was beginning to feel like I will never crash up till that point, but as soon as I lost concentrationb - I lost it. I know it is my mistake to make cars to handle like that haha, usually average simracing car is so forgiving that you would never crash it even if you was drunk, didn't sleep for 48 hours and would be driving while doing a head stand, but my cars physics doesn't work like that Concentration is important factor to go very fast.

Will be looking forward for more successful races in future, not necessarily same mod, but I am happy to see some of you expressing that you felt like mod was alright. I have learned so much more since this mod was updated, so hopefully to improve it way further some time in the future, I think woochoo did great job by adjusting visual appearance of the cars and it gives good immersion as well, not better than actual scratch built fully accurate models, but I think much better than spiritually low value ripped models or half done poor scratch made models.
