    While we do run rF2 races every Thursday and Friday at RaceDepartment, it is time to do a special event!

    Back in the 80's the World Sportscar Championship had a somewhat weird event on the calendar. Together with all the 1000km races, 24hrs of Le Mans, Tourist Trophy and all classical events. They also had a race a year at Norisring. Yes, the short little street-track with the special history. Most of the years it was run as two 100 mile events, with the results combined to one. Except in 1986. In 1986 it was just one 100 mile race, and in the end it decided the championship. As this was the only race the whole year where the drivers raced alone, and not changing drivers during the race. Derek Bell placed higher than Hans-Joachim Stuck in this race, and thus won the title. This is what caused the future events to be two races combined to one result. However, it was so special and unique, that even the race-poster didn't acknowledge the 100 miles, as it usually was a 200 mile event. We will try to emulate the very first Norisring World Sportscar Championship with this special event in the rFactor 2 club.

    INFORMATION & BASIC RULES

    • It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake slower cars. When a faster car is overtaking a slower car (in a different class), whether a blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not, the slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so. If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class then the same rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake. Please be sensible.
    • All of the standard Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
    • You do not need to nominate which car you will drive, but should specify in which class you would like to drive when signing up.
    • The race will be capped at 24 cars due to track limitations.

    I am also sorry for not being able to have this an open event. I am working towards some open events in the future.
