2016 Stock Cars World Series @SimRacing-GP.net

Look at the website forum under section Rfactor 2 when you have the chance, thinking of running an IndyCar league, rounds are still work-in-progess.

 

> Calendar updated in first post

Test #1 @Indianapolis tomorrow, 23 Jan, 20:00 UTC

 

test race today at 3pm cst

 

I missed the Indy race. I'll try to make the Jacksonville race.

 

That would be great !
Same as Indy, it will be a No Point Round, for fun and testing. I am planning Fuel and Tyre Wear x2 again, to force more pit stops, and probably 60 laps to make it (relatively) short but intense.

 

OK, let's go to Jacksonville for some Restrictor Plates action ! Sign up open.



Reminder : if you want to participate in the Teams Championship, don't forget to indicate your Team Name.
A Manufacturer Championship will be added too. That means you will be asked to not change car Manufacturer (Centennial/Edgar/Titan) after the first Official Event of the Series.

 

If someone wants to broadcast via Twitch or anything else, you can post a link !

 

Some RFactor 2 Stockcar newbie questions (former Nascar 2003 Racing driver)

Sorry but I have a few newbie questions. I have extensive experience with Nascar Racing 2003 but am somewhat new to Rfactor 2's StockCar mod. Are there any fixed setups available? I haven't really had any time to try and tweak the car and want to get some more laps in with a better setup if someone has something decent. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Also, is there a way to improve the rear view mirror details? I have a decent system and wanted to be able to view the true rear view mirror details (track, stadium, vehicles, and sky) if that is possible. Finally, are there any better spotter packs than the default? I used to use the Jimmie Johnson - Chad Knaus Spotter pack http://www.dwarehouse.com/beta/index.htm for Nascar 2003 Racing and loved it. Something like that would go a long way to increasing the realism in this sim.

Thanks again.

Hi, always good to ask questions ! Well, I am not sure I have the answers, though

For the setup, I am not an expert myself but I am sure someone would give a decent one as a starting base. I'd say the default setup is good but understeery. Otherwise, the setup process and logic might not be very different from Nascar 2003. In this post Woodee has shared 2 charts exposing a setup process.
If you are talking about fixed upgrades (in the "Tuning" menu when selecting the car), then yes, this is active so that everybody has the same car configuration (except the "Wheelbase" option). I will have a practice server up in a short time.

For the rear view mirror image quality, there is this thread explaining things I am not sure to understand In short, rear view quality seems to be track or mod dependant by default, but you can try to adjust it by changing these lines, at the cost of framerate.

For the Spotter, there is this Gerald Jacobson plugin I have not yet found the time to test. I don't know if it is capable doing what you are looking for but it seems very complete.

 

Here we go ! Round #1/21 "Mountain Peak 555" Sat. 06 Feb, 20:00 UTC

 

Bump.

 

series starts officially today.

 

Sign Up if you haven't already.

 

This is Rolf Just passing Eazor for the Win @ SCWS Mountain Peak 555 !
It happened in the 2nd half of a 45 laps long Green flag period, on lap 218, 28 laps after the restart, and 17 laps before the Checkered.
He illustrates what Oval racing is about : not just raw speed.



Round 2/21 "Brookdale 200", on the technical egg-shaped Brookdale Speedway is this Saturday, Feb 20th @ 20:00 UTC, for a shorter 140 lap race (90min. expected).

 

Not too late to Sign up for the SCWS Round 2/21 "Brookdale 200" !

 

That Brookdale "Egg"-shaped oval was very technical and caused again tyre wear headaches to some Drivers.
A picture of the last Restart (Green-White-Checkered for the record !)



Round 3/21 "Eagle Creek 200" is this Saturday, Mar 5th @ 20:00 (UTC, check your local time on the website).

 

Not too late to Sign up for the SCWS Round 3/21 "Eagle Creek 200" !

 

S. Yashin may have been dominating the #3 Eagle Creek 200 during the long Green flag period, a late Caution threatened his well deserved victory !
Here he finally passes SRGP for the lead with 2 laps to go (tyres gave up a bit too soon ).



Round #4/21 Apple Valley 200 is this Saturday 19 March 20:00 UTC (21:00 CET / 16:00 EDT / 13:00 PDT -> check your local time on the website)

 

Apple Valley Speedway this weekend!!!

 

Hi all, looks like a nice series. I just released 2 tracks, Phoenix and Daytona. 2 conversions from Stock Car Evoution tracks I built 4-5 years ago. (I only partially built the original Daytona - Track surface only was totally replaced using existing objects.) Both have brilliant AI for some short offline races. AI tend to pit too early for running long races. Both have minor graphic issues, but great track shape. The leagues who have used both tracks have loved them. It has been great to finally have a Superspeedway you can push some all the way around.

Both tracks in released area, and also on Steam.

Is this league time friendly for Australia, and are you full?
