Reported incidents:
866- This is a result of cutting the pit exit line and the reason we penalize cutting it.

M. Wheeler - 30 second stop and hold

3823 - B. Lindsay-Rae and R. v/d Merwe make contact and B. Lindsay-Rae spins, C. Reina can't avoid B. Lindsay-Rae and makes contact. - Racing incident, both drivers could've left more room in the chichane.

4273 - G. De Angelis tries to overtake O. Alvarez on the outside of the final corner, and goes off track. While in full control he rejoins the track.
This was a tricky incident, the stewards all thought O. Alvarez should have left more room but G. De Angelis should've realised there was no room and should've backed off.
O. Alvarez - Warning
G. De Angelis - Drive through




For new drivers, penalties will be applied to you by the game, roughly 10 minutes in to the next race session.

We only looked at the reported incidents (IRR's), please submit an IRR if you want to have an incident reviewed.

Fortuna is not my best friend. My pedals acting up again and I have to send them back to Thrustmaster. Hopefully, they are back in time for the next season... I really want to join my mate @Jan Studenski in the higher series. I wish everybody a good race at Silverstone! :)

Manuel, you can set pedals pressure also in game settings, so throttle press will be 100%.
 
Haha :D Great in theory, but in practice you lose a crap ton of time not being able to accelerate out of corners any where close to what you can with 100% throttle :)
 
Unfortunatly i can't make it again. I'll be sure to think twice before signing up again. Sorry for taking up a spot.

Click to expand...

I think it would be more dangerous than anything else :/
 
This time I tried to race in VR. First time in rf2; was quite interesting, but I think I need to fiddle a bit more with settings, cause i got a lot of reprojection kicking in.
I expected quite spectacular night race, but for some reason time was not advancing, which is a shame, racing in night in VR is so amazing.
Anyway, it was quite a good fun, looking forward to meet you in guys in VEC/VLMS!
 
So, that concludes my first effort in the SRCA.
Tonight's race didn't start so well. Qualifying was as slow as ever, starting at pos 19 on the grid.
I received my penalty, and got a little confused! I assumed it was a drive through, but my pit marker was flashing, so I thought, err, ok must be a stop and go. So I stopped, for 22 sec, while my tyres were changed.
Out I headed, and the penalty was still there......

Back in the next lap to serve the drive through, and I could now start the race!
Much like Road Atlantic, the first half was error prone and a little eratic, but again after my pitstop, things settled and no dramas from there till the end.

I have learned 3 things:

1. I am a bit slow !
2. I'm relatively safe, having not crashed.
3. I like endurance racing way more than I thought I would.

Thanks to all the team at SRC for their efforts running a super league.
I'll post my POV of the race shortly.
