    Hi nikos, no probs to race. First 26 to 30 in the room will race.
    Use the password in the info above: sr4l (all lower case letters)

    Damage will be around 40%, it's gives guys a chance to staying even in a big hit.

    Not sure about 60minute race. We're looking at 3x20 minute sprint races to make sure everyone get's a good run in.

    Fuel will be x? to force at least one stop.

    Congratulations to the team that ran this event. Their enthusiasm will take them to the top.

    I participated but got wiped out twice at Eau Rouge by people that forgot where the brake pedal was but the last race was nice until one of the solid straw bales eneded my hopes.

    ISI you must remedy the straw bale issue, it's like hitting a concrete block!

    Hi as Promised I have the replays here from the races we ran last night






    I would like to thanks everyone that Voted in our poll over the past 2 weeks this race was our 1st event as A.R.I so we are still on a massive learning curve for example GMT and BST to me GMT is what ever time it is in the UK but the rest of the world uses something called British Summer Time that is GMT +1 Who knew lol any way I now know about it as well so on our next event the time will reflect a time that everyone understands sorry for my mistake and any mix-up this may have caused.

    we tested pits stops and flue usage in all 3 races after race 1 other drivers was not as keen on the idea as I was due to overlapping pitstops this is something ISI needs to look into
    I did how ever work out the the pit stop is called at the start of a lap so by the time you get around Spa to the pit again they have been and gone back in meaning your pit marker was not visible, How to fix this is to cancel the pit request when it pops up and then recall the pit request 500m from the last corner pit marker was visible every time I passed the pit after that(I was calling my pit crew out every lap as a test)

    Race 1
    Link to replay:http://www.mediafire.com/?5lyu5c9naasx99v

    1st off I would like to say sorry for parking my car in the 1st corner I had pulled of the track to marshall and film but it had rolled back on to track with out my knowlage I only fond out from Mike_P cars as he passed My car I was "Who The Hell Has Left thier car parked there" OOOPS!!!! School Boy Error
    now

    the race was amazing right up to the point where the pit stops made David C pit in a box already being used by another Driver Unlucky David
    Mike_P had a flawless pit and took the race Congrats Mike

    Race 2 Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?ee5eejec67lhxln

    After a 5 min break we ran race 2 Driver pleaded not to run Pitstops but as a test night we need to know if this pit sharing was a 1 off or a bug race 2 started and this time I raced, I Did not race race 1 which put me in last place as I was 1st out of last race as I was filming comming in to the 1st corner I had a mili second peak in my rear view but I must of did this at the exact same time
    Bryan Ferguson ARI broke for the corner because when I looked forwards again all I could see was a Engine and Gearbox this in turn caused me to brake very, very, very, very, hard and I knew at that the images flashing before my eyes was indeed my life story , I clipped Bryan Ferguson ARI sending him all over the track "Well Held Bryan" due to my Extreme rate of braking it did not leave any room for error for the drivers I had Passed off the start line needless to say we all came together in the same space at the same time I was then out Of race 2 again in the 1 corner
    Andy_R and Mike_P had an amazing race but again Mike_P pipped it at the Post to Win Race 2 with And_R so close behind him it must of been under 1/2 second Well Done Andy_R for nursing that car to the pit in the 1 stint on race 2 that gose to show you Zero to Hero because you made an effort and did not quite out.
    Bad Luck To Bryan who had to pit for repairs witch put him out of contention.

    Race 3 Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?auji4cc9acf6ygu

    Ok this was a final event of the evening and I was again at the back as I was the 1st out of the previous race, I wanted to race so I made a decision not to go mad until I passed the 1st corner and what a dam good decision that turned out to be the lights went green and I sat there until all cars was at least 150m down the track as I pulled away I noticed yet again a massive pile up in the 1st corner by the time I reached them they was all pulling back on to the track or just getting their cars facing in the right Direction
    After some really bad rubber necking on my way passed I found My Self In 1st place, David C then drover like a Demon and by the 1 corner of lap 3 David C was right behind me a hay bail just sticking out from the wall clipped my front left and sent me in to a spin I got my self facing in the right Direction and continued the push after the Pit stops David and Myself was close but not close enough
    Kudos David C


    I will be making a movie with some of the footage I captured last night and I will add a link here on the bottom of the thread once completed I have a few things to sort but ill try to get it done this week ready for the weekend

    I would especially like to that Andy R and Dave Taylor who made the extra effort and came in to our TS3 server for a chat
    do not forget we hold and open door all welcome you just need to the password and that is listed in the 1st post of this thread
    Due to the amount of fun had by all last night we feel our next event will follow the same race settings
    3 x 20 min races rather than 1 x 60 mins the Drink and fag break in between was needed and allowed us as hosts to fine tweak the server settings by race 3 I feel we had it nailed.

    please remember that we run rFactor and rFactor2 server both servers have a live timing set up on the here is a link
    http://www.sr4l.com come over and sign up or just take a look
    Many thanks from us all at A.R.I and we hope to see you again in future events please keep your eyes open
    and sorry for any mistakes made on our End we are trying to iron out any problems and supply a good racing environment I also apologise If I got your names wrong legit mistake.

    PS: We Had 3,645 views of this tread that means 3,635 people missed the best rFactor2 race on the 6th may 2012 because they failed to sign up to this event Next time guys
