    We have possibly found an bug related to the driver swap.
    Can some of you test and confirm that you get the same results?

    We are using the C6R, only one setup in the folder. The exact same setup, with the exact same name, is used for all 3 drivers.

    What we find is that the gearing for the second driver and every swap after that is changed.
    The gearing is now set so that 6:th gear more or less is not used on Mid-Ohio, and the 2-3 is giving us wheel lock when enginge braking. This means that both the driving style changes, as well as the fuel and tyre consumption

    How to test: First driver does 2 laps and hands over the car. The second driver drives a lap and saves the setup as vers2
    Now compare the initial setup with the one that has been handed over.
    You will see that the gearing is totally different. All other settings seems to be the same though.

    We have tried both the SimHQ as well as our own server.
    We also changed to single car class with only C6Rs on the track. SimHQ is set for two classes.
    We have tried with different drivers starting and others taking over.
    We have not tried it with other cars so far.

    driver swap is not yet `released`, isn[t it ?

    but this reminds me, that there is an evident lack of manual which describes the features of rF2.
    we all do learning by doing ... whiith ghost handling, skin transfer ... and so on ...

    We found this in the Poznan event. It's a known bug. When you swap drivers the final gear ration gets changed. So to get around it, use the lowest final gear ratio and adjust individual gear ratios and leave the final alone. Around Mid-O this won't be a problem.

    Yes, it's implemented.
    We are doing an endurance league with driver swaps.
    Feel free to join.

    Did some tests with your recommendation regarding the final drive Guy, and it worked perfect. Thanks !
    There is still a bug here, but at least there is a work around until it's fixed. :D
