There is no radar, and there is no proper VR hud. If you want a hud that you can actually see in VR you need to reduce your monitor resolution down to around 1280 X 1024. It's a bit rubbish but it works. Also, I use a look-back button in VR as most cars' mirrors aren't all that good.

Hi, I would like to participate. I am a bloody noob in rF2. Thanks a lot for organizing.

You've come to the right place.
Choose a Spec 2 car.
See you later today.

I'll take a spec 1 I guess, thanks!

Hi Brian.

Ok guys, thanks for letting us know.

Thanks again for organizing. That was the most fun Miata race I had so far. Way better than that brick on wheels in iRacing. Finally understanding why people put up with rFactor's antics ;-)

MarkModdy · 2023-05-21T21:34:57+0100

Thanks for organising that for us Denis

MarkModdy · 2023-05-21T21:36:47+0100

great fun.... lost count of the number of times i spun when running out of talent... apparently my tyres were on fire at the end....

Redvaliant · 2023-05-21T21:44:05+0100

Yeah great fun wee cars, but the tyres were made of smoke and cheese after laps of abuse.

That was a good time, as always. thanks @Denis Betty for organizing and hosting. hope everyone had fun and nice job to the newcomers.

I got back to my PC after a long weekend and was scrambling to get set up and running and had very little practice leading up to the race. took me a while to get into a groove. big apology to whoever i took out during an early spin just right in front of the front runners.

thanks to paul for hanging back to keep me company ;-] very gentlemanly of you. i realized i had signed up with a spec 2 car, and wound up picking a spec 1 car. oh well, good times nonetheless.

catch you next time!

Wow I'm really mad.....I started looking for server at about noon my time and nothing showed up for a couple of hours after I figured out to restart my pc and found it.....too late. I'm very disappointed, sorry all I wanted to be there

Thanks to Denis and others for organizing, and to everyone that joined/raced.
I managed just enough laps in the week to be quite a bit easier on the tires in the race.
Used the setup provided with just fuel reduced to 25 laps.
It was fun and the only thing I'd do different would be to run club layouts instead of full loop at large tracks, plus 30 min race instead of 45.
Will take a look at premium today and see if I can justify, assuming its another subscription type deal.
Thanks again!

erad1c8or · 2023-05-22T06:51:33+0100

Its 11.99 Euro for a year. No brainer that! If I had known earlier it was that low, I would have signed up earlier. Will get it this week!
Silverstone club layout might be good for another in the MX5

MarkModdy · 2023-05-22T06:51:36+0100

Well done on the win Jim! You drove a great race.

The premium is well worth it, and actually reduced in price this year from what I paid last year.

Hopefully see you again on track soon (hopefully going much slower

)
