*Drivers should avoid getting too far behind or too close to the driver in front
*Approximately 20 seconds before crossing the start line the pole sitter should slow down to a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*Each following driver shall close up directly behind the driver in front also maintaining a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)

*No overtaking is allowed before crossing the start line at the completion of the formation lap
 

This will be another GT2 test race. We will also be trialling this track. I don't think we have used it on a Sunday night since the GTR2 days!

I have not had time to do much testing on it so if there are any show stoppers with it please let me know and I will switch to a proven track .

Nice track choice :)

Hmm is everyone going to pick the Porsche for this one lol

I've played it a few times with a buddy in online practice sessions and didn't notice any obvious issues...

Its fantastic in VR, really comes to life with all the elevation changes  :)

I will do! :yes:

Why, is it much faster?

Will be there.

I did some testing, and the vette is able to match the porsche,   458 probably is too (havn't got a setup for that one, so need to test a bit more)...  BMW is too old and clunky looking for me to want to drive it  :D

Would have though the Porsche would have dominated with the traction out of the tighter corners.

I won't be at this one, the 718 series starts this weekend

I'll try to join this and 718´s...

I'll Will attend too,  if i  am back home  in time. 
The  Vette  is as fast as the porker to  me. This time i  will try my luck with the rsr though.

Thanks for the feedback Max :)

Practice server is up and running for tonights race!

doh, just realised its a different version to the one I have -it  looks the same in screenshots but the files are different  :(


will see if I can try it before the race starts...

Needs a password?

Its not linked in LM2 and so yes as above whats the password?

Problems with the server?

Sorry guys, my mistake. Password should now be visible

I am just restarting the server now

Tnx

Fun race indeed. Tried my luck with the RSR. A very nice race car, but i lacked the outright pace to challenge the front runners. Should do some more set up work i guess.

Made a mistake with the rolling start as i was in the wrong position, but Mark put things right with a nice overtake into T1.
With a lap or two to go i saw Mark and Alberto dicing, so i thought i could get in the mix. Race was just a few minutes too short for that to happen. :P

I personally think the GT3's are a bit bland to race, but these GT2's are really good fun.

It was good to circulate round Interlagos again after a few years gap. There are some tricky and rewarding corners on this track, I will be using this circuit for the forthcoming GT2 series!

Sorry I can't follow all these different flavours of 911 and RSR this that and the other so the 911's are currently dummy cars until someone with the knowledge sorts them out.

That car is so easy to drive, i should not be challenging the guys for fastest laps!  Is the Porsche on the same tyres as the others?

Personally i think it needs slowing down. Feels like so much more power and downforce compared to the Ferrari specifically as i drove it at donnington.

Please use the ACU version of the track for that,  it looks so much nicer  ;)



I wasn't sure about joining this race but after spending some time this week doing back to back testing of the porsche / vette / 458  I decided to anyway,  but took the BMW which I havn't driven for a long time. I got ~ 30 minutes total before qually started and it wasn't enough really, that car locks its front wheels so easily and when it does they flat spot so quickly compared to other cars  :(  I ended up running stupid amounts of rear brake to compensate and braking very early / gently just to preserve the tyres  :D


My conclusion after testing this week (I need to do some more tests at another track or 2 to be sure) but so far the porsche is fastest, the vette and 458 are a little behind and pretty even, and the bmw is a sad tailgunner

We could take a look at the power to weight ratio of the cars to make them more equal? We probably can't fix the Beemer, altough it was the winning car here in the hands of a fast driver..

Fully agree!

IS there any planned race this sunday?

Yes. My plan is to do GT3 @ Assen. I have set the server up to test the track but my pc has just done a win10 update and AC is now playing up so i cant test the track until i get it working again. Feel free to log on to the server to test the track. I think it is the RD version (will confirm when my pc has rebooted)

If the track is not suitable there will still be a fun race tomorrow night using another track
