Sorry about the large number of downloads; if this combination proves popular we'd want to put together a single giant download, and probably some league-specific skins too. We will attempt to set Race 2's grid by reversing the results of the first race, but with Protos ahead of PCCs. None of us have any experience doing it. We may also try to use some small weight penalties. So, basically, a chance to experiment with some of the features which rFactor provides which would be very useful to us as a league.

Are these 2 types of car competitive with each other? We will attempt to set Race 2's grid by reversing the results of the first race, but with Protos ahead of PCCs. None of us have any experience doing it. Actually, I've done that once in a fun race before. Editing the grid was dead easy, dunno why Armaroli have so much hassle and time doing it. Takes a fair few clicks to move people up/down the grid order but they do make a meal of everything over there. We may also try to use some small weight penalties.
Now that is cool!

No - at least I hope not! I'm hoping it will give us a taste of mixed-class stuff in rFactor. Actually, I've done that once in a fun race before.

Takes a fair few clicks to move people up/down the grid order but they do make a meal of everything over there.
I think the qualifying system isn't helping them. Hopefully they will change the rules before the next event to set the grid based on per-nation qualifying times and not per-driver. That also means we could make use of different drivers as qualifying or race specialists. We may also try to use some small weight penalties.
Now that is cool! If only GTR2 was going to give us proper weight penalties... perhaps it may yet...

This sounds like fun, it'll be interesting to see how those features pan out.

Cool . I'm starting to like rF more and more. And I'm learning how to make setups with PCC and Megane mod, so this will be fun whatever the outcome . A Megane cup is also very cool IMO...hint....hint I think the link of the protoracer is wrong as I get the PCC germany mod with it. Protoracer

A Megane cup is also very cool IMO...hint....hint You really ought to join the GRC. If the multiclass thing works out, with the All Cars facility in rFactor we could in theory run a proper mish mash series with power-to-weight classes, a bit like the Dutch Supercar Challenge. But I think we really are into GRC territory there and I'd rather stay focused on more specific championships. SRou is missing two major forms of circuit racing, open wheelers and touring cars. We already know the ASRWC cars are good; I'm hoping to cover the latter with the Octavia mod in a future fun race, perhaps to tide us over until the WTCC game arrives. Or we may hate them and not bother. We'll never know unless we try. I think the link of the protoracer is wrong as I get the PCC germany mod with it.
Oops I mean, well spotted, that was the deliberate mistake...

I've put the AIW files which should enable the pace car to be used here. Not sure whether they only need to be installed on the server or whether clients need them too. Suspect the former and not the latter.

Shark, the Fozz of rFactor. I don't think we've ever tried an rFactor race on a Sunday night when attendance is usually best.
