Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see
cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the Euro track pack for this series
(4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit.

(5) Please follow the SROUK guidelines for using kerbs etc. Please keep 2 wheels on the track surface (kerbs do not count as track surface)
Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

We appear to be having trouble with new drivers registering again.....

Hi guys been looking for some R3E races with familiar faces and noticed the thread about this race over at No Grip.

Would be fun to race with you again, will keep an eye out for the password and hopefully see you on Sunday. Will also ask Gsi Bob and Joel if they fancy joining in too, so possibly 3 more racers on the grid.

Just to be clear the ADAC 2014 cars will not work and i need cars from the GTR3 class only?

Well that's me back another few places on the grid then  ;)

Great to have you back with us and please let Bob and Joel know they'll need to register on this forum (if they haven't already done so)to be awarded championship points.

And yes, just the cars from the "GTR3" class allowed for this series and not the ADAC '13 or '14 cars.

hi jayblue,

good to see you again in online races.

is your boy joel alrady faster then you ;) :D

servus

He regularly beats me on the ovals on iracing but still can't match me on the road courses yet  ;D

Giving this series a miss, too powerful cars for me and not really my cup of tea; also can't find time to adequately practice GTL and the Thursday night Series.

Group 5 are just about driveable for me, beyond that my reactions are not fast enough - comes to all of us eventually!  :wheelchair: :rockon:

I have to agree with you Bill.

I will do these when I can, but I already do Mon and Thurs, so Sunday as well can be challenging with real life.

For me too. I intend to race these series. The historics look more appealing, but it is hard finding time to run both AC on Wednesdays and then again R3E the next evening. So sunday evenings are better race nights for me.

Still very much dislike the transaction model of R3E and as i am still not convinced R3E is better than AC and as it still isn't a finished game i cannot persued myself in just buying all content.
So i am waiting for the new GT3 class cars to come out and purchase one of them. I do already own the Euro Track Pack, so i should be able to do most of them.

I'm really looking forward for this. Didn't find as much time to develop a setup as I wished I would, but at least I got something "pretty okay"  ;)

Got some things to do on sunday, so I hope to be home in time, but I try my best and think my plans should work. Hope to see you on track on sunday  :)

I tried the Canard on Hockenheim yesterday and i must admit is was quite good to drive. I was running 540/13 in game and 900 on my DFGT in the profiler. Don't know if i should switch to 900 degrees for these GT3 cars. You can't adjust this during the test drives now can you?

Might just fancy buying the underdog Camaro as the new GT3's are still not available yet. But is it still a dog to drive or has it gotten a bit more competitive?

Forgot this had come around again. Oh, i need to buy the track this time :(

Always seems cheaper to buy tracks as part of a pack than individually in this game. Maybe get the European track pack or one of the ADAC Masters series packs?

If you have none of the content it might be cheaper buy the ADAC 14 pack from the Raceroom store for 9.99 Euros which includes 8 tracks (4 of which will cover the remaining races of this series). You can then buy a car to race from the GTR3 class at a much reduced rate (approx. 79 vrp).

Checked and Bob already has a account but Joel doesn't. I tried to register him as a new driver but got the "mass spam attack" error. So i have sent an email to the registration address. Hopefully it is all sorted by tomorrow night  8)

I need to restart server so we are running a couple of minutes late

Need a few minutes to enter results with new members to add

I made a bit of a ...Horlicks of that, sorry gents.

Great Race..

I had a fantastic scrap with John, but then I made a mistake and he was gone into the distance..

Well done all

Hi guys, really enjoyed my first race here. Although I screwed up on the first lap, I had an excellent chase with mr. Meer. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers

Hey Giannis, it was a lot of fun! I hurts to loose a position in the last lap but you had the speed and the patience to wait for the right moment, so I got that going for me ;) Although I'm pretty happy about a solid race without any larger mistake  :)

It was nice to see so many drivers, I don't own the Sachensenring, so I will propably miss this one, but I'm back in for the left races  ;)

My first proper online race with R3E and i can see why it is a multiplayer alpha at this stage. Sorry to everyone if my car was invisible - i could see you all fine on my screen.

Had problems from the outset with the game. First my Data HUD stopped working, rejoining the server fixed that. Initially i got a terrible start but somehow ended up in P1 after T1 and pulled away bit by bit. Then i got a silly penalty for running wide at the Wurth Kurve (T5/T6) and Berger caught me up. As i now understand he could not see my car and he drove in to the back of me which pushed me off track and i got another penalty for cutting! Joel overtook me too and it was then he told me my car was invisible.

I was able to get back in to the lead toward the end of the race but several other weird game glitches happened along the way including one in which my car appeared to freeze and shifted back to first gear by itself at high speed. After that i had a red engine light but was able to continue racing. As the race got toward the end i was able to get back in to the lead, passing a very skilful Berger in the process, who somehow managed to give me a side by side battle despite not being able to see my car!

The to top off an eventful race on the last two laps i started loosing lots of engine power and Berger was able to go back past me. On the final straight the engine cried enough and Joel also snuck past in to second place. Any suggestions or fixes for the invisible car and other glitches?

managed to get on the server this week!


I have 2 young children and don't get much time to practice, I have only spent about half an hour on R3E since buying it a couple of weeks ago. could anyone answer the questions below to save me some time trawling the net to get some answers:

how do I select the amount of fuel?
how do I select tyre compound?
Is there any way of seeing tyre wear/temp (similar to the XD addon we use on GTR2)?
Is there any way of looking at telemetry (like when you use the motec software with GTR2)

my race ended on lap 1, I hit the barrier, lost power and coasted to a halt. I thought I barely grazed it (the steering was still ok). Is R3E very sensitive to damage or over revving? another thing that crossed my mind was that maybe I ran out of fuel as I couldn't find any options in the setup pages for fuel (but I did manage about 6 laps in practice & qually without running out of fuel)

on a positive note, R3E seems like a nice game, the force feedback feels good, and it is good to see sunday night GT3 racing with attendace in double figures!

Thanks Daniel, I tried to be careful and don't spoil both our races at the end. Do bad you don't have Sachsenring, it is an underrated track, many elevation changes, sort of like a roller-coaster :) See you on the next one!

phspok / Goldtop,

My name appears as STEPHEN WENHAM in the results for the race (My race name is SRW), do I need to change something in my game settings?

You were in the results only as Stephen Wenham, there was no "Lobby Name" against you
I have updated the system with you as SRW.
Our results system only works with people's forum names, I sometimes have to guess who is who  ???
Not sure about points for this race though, but you should be correctly listed in future ones.

For our races we have fuel use and tyre wear enabled (or at least I enable it) the tyre wear is in the HUD but it is
very insensitive, at 98% you will feel reduced grip. Fuel is 99 litres? I think, and our events only use a small fraction of that.
I leave it on because it helps the realism a bit. (maybe)

Fuel and tyres are not yet a settable option. Not aware of any motec type thing, but Mr_Belowski (Jim) has a crew chief prog
you can download, sorry I don't have the link to hand.

We have mechanical damage on and visible damage set to "kind" (I think that's what it calls it) hitting walls hard is often terminal
thought I have hit things and only got  bent sterring from it.

The invisible car seems to be a "feature" that we see occasionally. Anty, and I think Berger have had it once, it doesn;t happen
often, and "seems" to be related to the persons data quality on the day, hard to say as it is not easily repeatable.
One thing we have seen a couple of times, I had it once, is if you stay out on the track at the end of qual you may not
be able to join the grid at race start, again, it happens rarely.

This is GOldTop's series, I am just being admin elf person.

P.S
Tony the rubber fetishist might add the missing tyre makes, otherwise I will when I get a minute

All done

Had problems from the outset with the game. First my Data HUD stopped working, rejoining the server fixed that.

Hey Bru

I am glad I am not the only one suffering from this problem, it's a known bug, drivers me crazy.

I normally have some issues recently with my on line connection into a lobby, but last night it was silver smooth for me. Maybe next race it can be a disaster for me and great for you. I hope they sort out the online game play soon. My pc build and line is great, so I really believe it's the game.

Ant

To fix the disappearing HUD / in car display, try switching off "show opponent cockpits" in the gfx settings.

Was a good start for me, up to 4th then I let a hard-charging McLaren through. After that anth got a penalty putting me back in 4th, but a lap later I tangled with an audi into t2 (racing incident - I turned in more than I planned to because I got loose). Good race up to then

Every week seems to throw up bugs and incidents which affect someone's race/fun which is unfortunate but then again we also seem to have some excellent racing with this sim. Hopefully these issues will be addressed in future updates and we can enjoy the racing even more.

I had only 1 strange experience last night when during the practice session a car suddenly appeared from in front of me.....scared the bejeepers out of me  :laugh:

Still having trouble getting off the line without bogging down which is making quali a bit of a wasted effort. After a busy couple of laps I spent the rest of the race on my own again  :'(

On a positive note, very encouraging to see a decent turnout for our Sunday evenings and all quality racers too  :thumbup1:

 

hi jayblue,

i did not see you on track, but on the trackmap and (most of the time) in the standing thing in top of screen,
i saw you that you suddently loose any seconds and i had no idea where i should overtake as you had the penalty seconds, if i remember correct, i did drive to the right side on track, as i was thinking you drive in raceline, i did not feel any touch between our cars.

the other thing where you overtake me was you very long around 1 sec. behind and i was thinking in this time you know already that i do not see you and stay behind me, as it looks like you drive without full speed behind me, but then i did mistake in 1st corner (if i remember correct) and you was only 0.2-0.3 sec. and i had NO !!! i idea where you was on track, so i did 1-2 corner give room in inside of corners and watched the gaps in standing.

this with unvisible car is a nightmare and did kill the fun yesterday totaly of the race,
hope you can fix this problem, anty had similar problems for any races, but now it looks like good for him, and i think he did loose the HUD data too.

i had in past only 1xtime problem with this game online, and this was with the new thing   load opponent cockpit.... perhaps this could be the problem??? (but probably not).

servus

hmm. the cost of this is putting me off.

I just couldnt keep the car under control when under braking into first corner and err.. 3rd corner. Just kept locking up and spinning so to avoid taking people out decided to leave.

I was amazed that you managed to race side by side with me at one point even though by then i knew you couldn't see my car, made me smile and remember one of the reasons why you are a quality guy to race against. It was the incident which dropped my car to neutral and then the shift back to first gear at 130mph that did me in - watched it back on my replay and it shows it pretty well, will post a video if i get time. Engine revved to an indicated 10800 rpm which probably explains the engine light coming on  :o
