This one will be my first RRE race, and I'm looking forward to it already. I'll probably be way off in terms of race pace, but then again, I'm used to that by now :-))

AND ..... the Kurt Thiim Mercedes is mine!

Had a few laps with the '92 cars and I get the feeling this is going to be a very tough race. Very easy to make mistakes in the chicanes and a few corners which you have to get just right to avoid gravel. Should be good fun especially with those darn slow down penalties  

Did some laps on the SROUK-server without any problems. Anything I need to DL ?

I love this track, even though it is indeed treacherous. I also love the fact, that you can't get away with illegal shortcuts in this sim.

How does it work, when the race is on, do you get a warning, a stop-and go, a drive through or what?

I managed a 1.40.500 lap, what do you guys get?


Stig

So the penalty is a forced speed limiter for a short period, is that how it works?

1.38.  ......... hmm...... I must find time for some more practice :-))

This last weekend I had more time for practice and I could do many laps.... around 90 laps, and my best time was 1.35.2 I think.
But was a lucky lap because I took more risk in the chicanes.
I tried the bmw and Audi... and I was more confortable with Audi.

See you!

this will be the 1st race in this series, which i do not realy looking forward,

i do not like the cut slow down in this track, will probably destroy races for any, as if you drive close behind other in chicane and other car get penalty, you get accident too (and probably a penalty then too),
so i think close racing behind other car is in this track not possible, like i had with mr. belowski in nürburgring for 10-15min, which was very good.

but in general, i am not so big fan of zolder, but in R3E the version looks great again, somehow i like the grafic look in R3E, perhaps a little not so good as in AC, but somehow it looks more realistic, the cars and tracks, more feeling to drive real car on track it is.

i did any laps and i did test the "chead" with autoclutch off and do NOT use clutch, but after 3 laps my gears was dead already, take endless time to change a gear (incl. rattle rattle sound that gearbox is little dead already...sorry i can not explain better..) and wrong shift i had already too from 3rd to 1st and so on.....very realistic and save for probable earn a little laptimes with  "clutch cheat" like in GTR2/GTL.

i did 1.38.2 as best lap, but did only 7-8 laps, so probably 1.37.xxx is doable, if grip is same as in practise, but somehow it feels in last 2 races, as in online in race (and especialy in quali) the track is faster as in practise i did, as my laptimes was in last 2 races very good suddently.

is this a 40min. race now?
or do race end after 30min. and you have then 10min. extra time to finish your lap after the leader did finish the last lap?

and have we then to wait 10min. till game do make finish? because of the result file thing, that everybody get a result.

or simply 10min. extra racing for this race?
