Unfortunately, due to busy schedule, I won't be able to take part for the rest of the season, I am sorry that I signed up and won't be able to race.
 
Hi

For professional reasons I am not able to attend the race on next wednesday and the week after (the 13th). I apologise for that.
 
Hi,

I hereby officially withdraw myself from this season. There's just not enough time for this series too. I will sign up again when the time is right. Thank you for the chance though.
 
Andros Alvarez told me that tomorrow need him to work, he is going to said here after midnight, but he wan you know 24h before race, his is working at the momet.
 
Sorry, but I cant race the circuit of Estoril because today my boss told me that I work tomorrow. David Hoyo wrote about this because i was working. Thank you
 
sorry guys but maybe this afternoon i cant race ... i dont know if i can arrive on time.
are there any possibility to get into the race just before the race, without qualification?
 
I have 2 Questions about how to serve penaltyes.

1- You can serve your penalty in the first few laps. How many laps are "few"?
2- Can you serve a penalty during a CODE-080?

Thanks a lot.
 
@Matej Lakota I've tested a bit with my graphic settings and I know what the issue was last wednesday. It was relatable to the steam forrum you send. So that ment that my cpu is going into slow mode cause it can't cope. That's definitely a hardware issue and I don't think I can fix the issue so let's see how things plan out this race. That will probably mean that if there isn't a noticeable improvement I'll withdraw from the series. Cause it's just very frustrating.
 
Luuk, I am glad you figured out what is wrong, but not so much if it will also be present tonight. Just let us know how your CPU will deal with rF2 in the race.
 
I am sorry but i can't come home in time tonight. There has been an incident on the way back home and seems like they closed the road. I doubt i will be home in time for the start of the race :(
 
@Matej Lakota Ok so now I really out of ideas. My fps counter is saying that I have 60 fps and everything runs smooth but then when more people start to join the 60fps is still there but then the car feels really weird (no power,alot of understeer and no brakes). I'm 6 seconds slower in the first sector than myself with compared to a practice server with about 10 people. The moment shit starts to breaks loose seems around 14 people. I guess I'll try a lap in qualy and if that doesn't work I won't race if thats ok on your side. I really want to race but this is just very annoying.


EDIT: On a resolution of 800x600 it definitely seems less but than i can't make out the difference if i i'm behind a car or a truck

I have some problems with my internet I have very high ping and cant even open an internet site, i'm typing this from my phone just to be able to warn you if I am not at the start its because of the internet. I hope to have it fixed by then or next race
 
Unfortunately, I think it's best for me to put this off till next season. My fanatec wheel was supposed to be here Monday and wont be here till late today or sometime this week. I need to familiarize myself with the handling/tire physics/wear/setups and everything else in rfactor2 anyways, so I will rejoin in jan or feb, depending how much time I have through the holidays...thanks and cheers, there are some good drivers here and I will be back.

Thanks a lot.

1- The Admins will give you a penalty during the beginning of the race, so you have to respect what the message screen will say in the game (as if you were given a penalty by the game itself, for example when you play offline). Normally, after the admins give you a penalty, I think you have 3 laps, but I am not sure. Anyway, you will see it on your screen as soon as they do it.

2- If there is a Code-80 within the laps that the game says you have to serve your penalty, then yes, you are lucky :)
