A couple of years back when Pirelli raised the min. pressures in F1 because of tire failures, the teams started to heat up their wheel rims for the checks. Just one example. These days whenever you see a tire failure, in any racing other then maybe Nascar, the reason for it majority of the time...

When I first start rF2 I get a message from steam about the app trying to launch with extensions, it pops up in the background and I have to click "yes" to continue. Perhaps for some the pop up is invisible TK

Looks great so far. Kinda funny that I feel like I need relearn a game I've played for 7 years or so. That's not a knock on the new UI, it's def better. A couple small things I've noticed. When picking opponents from a different class then my own selected car it changes my car to one from the...

Gave the car a spin around the Ring last nite and it's proper fun. To start the car seems well polished. Seat position at 0,0 is right on, mirrors all set correctly, sound is very S55ish, base setup is very nice (just a hint of understeer but it doesn't take much to make it a bit loose) and...

So the original rFactor .hdv file explanation is "BaulkTorque=360 How much torque clutch can handle before slipping. Should roughly equal max engine torque, and probably always greater, except possibly some modified road cars without upgraded clutches..." Sounds more like how much torque a...

I have always thought of it as purely the willingness of the engine to stall while taking off from a standing stop. The higher the baulk torque the more revs/more clutch slip necessary. I guess it could also come into play when up shifting at too low of an RPM, making the engine "baulk" before...

Thank you for this Frank. The attention to detail is amazing. Very much appreciated. TK

Just to add some real world reference to the above TK

There's no way to pre define the angles of the side mirrors, at least not that I'm aware of. The rear view eye point is set in the cockpit info file and that's the only per car setting you have. The side mirrors are adjustable somehow through the shader I think. Maybe like triple screen angles...

Qualifying in the IMSA GTD class is done by the AM drivers so their Q times are not the most relevant. Of the top of my head, the Pro drivers set quicker times in the practices. The GTD (IMSA GT3) cars usually are a bit quicker in the straights, especially evident at Daytona. The GTE cars have...

Wanted to add another visual/audio issue on the Audi R8 LMS. Seems the modeling (shift LEDs) and sound sides of the car are set to a 7700 RPM redline while the physics has it at the (correct, I believe) 8500 RPM. To get the most out of the car you need to rev way past indicated red line at which...

You checking off that box is that legal disclaimer. By checking the box you're stating that you understand that a passport is necessary to partake in this competition. So then if you were to make the top 20 and S397 were to disqualify your entry, you would have no legal ground to argue that...

Seems like you might be updating the wrong version. Each S397 car has 2 .mas files, make sure you select the lower number version to update off of. TK

Glad you got it sorted. And yup, that's the forecast for the race itself. TK

Did the session actually end after 25min? Picking practice only used to turn the session into a 30 hour testing session, so each weather panel lasts for 6 hours instead of 5 minutes. If that's the case then just tick either the race or qualifying to on and then it should work as intended. TK
