@Admins: The calendar doesn't show the races for the RSR International Cup yet. Will you update it soonish? The calendar overview gives great insight and helps me plan and double check with my own schedule.

P.S. Nice to see we start doing some PCARS2 testing very soon as well!

Asked Manu the same yesterday. Calender will be updated once the threads for the splits are created :)
 
@Puffpirat - I haven't looked at anybody's laps so my apologies if yours, or anybody elses' lap, goes over the track limits. I was of the understanding that this wasn't starting until tonight anyway and it was only after my post that I checked to see if anybody had set a time and noticed that laps were already set :eek:.
No worries mate I was half joking but I may have been off track at least once during my lap. I justed wanted to hammer a time in, so I could focus on Catalunya again. I'll check my lap later :)

If if if if if.

If you want to exploit the track limits then you're doing nothing but cheating yourself IMHO*. There are very simple rules for RSR races and I would hope everybody would follow them in a time trial event aswell.

Can it be enforced? No.
Will it be checked? No.

I'm simply making a suggestion, miagi, and appealing to the 'better driver' in all of us.

* EDIT : I want to expand on this. This time trial isn't about bragging rights (unless you want it to be), there is no prize for coming first. Equally, there is no shame at all in coming last. The whole point of the time trial is to put people into a tier where they will drive with their peers, drivers of similar ability. If you feel that you have to exploit the track limits to set a time that puts you in the tier you think you should be in, you need to ask yourself, quite seriously, "do I belong in that tier". If you're asking yourself that question, you already know the answer :).

Sure but why not make it a bit easier and clearer esp. as we got some new members with this cup. ALL the infos and regulations concerning the TT event should be within the first post of the TT thread, not spread across threads or hidden in post #87 of another thread.

The TT is very simple. Practice in TT mode, post your time into the thread once you are happy with it. Assists has to be "None".

Do not know what we left out in our thread :)

But, you changed a race to Oulton Park, and I thought it was Catalunya National? Because it is a DLC track?

We changed the TT event from Ruapuna Park to Oulton Park Fosters. Race 1 stays of course the same - Catalunya National.

Sorry if I've missed something obvious and I now look like a complete clown but - Why are we doing TT laps around Oulton Park ? I thought the first race was at Catalunya.

As we have more than 1 lobby's worth of drivers, so we'll split based on the TT

Tiered Qualification Process
In the event of a larger than expected sign-up to this championship, we may elect to run multiple leagues. These leagues will be tiered, with the aim of separating the faster and slower drivers, based on the results of a specified time-trial.

The date and format of the time-trial will be posted on the forum, in advance of the event taking place. Failure to set a time in the time trial may result beeing placed in the lower tiered league.

Yeah, my driving is awful on Fosters. I usually drive far better with a belly full of Malbec :)

Just realised that I had the cobbled together setup I made for Catalunya loaded, so I reverted back to default, changed the tyres and put in a 56.5s lap. There's still a good few tenths to come off that of course, but it's late and I'm sober, so not right now :)

There are a few times appearing on the leaderboard with what appear to be 'Real Aids' set in the player's options. Please, can everybody take a moment to re-read the rules for the Time Trial, specifically this point :-

Time Trial rules said:
2. Please ensure that you have Assists set to 'None' in the game options before setting a time. The real car has no ABS, TC or SC but, since the time-trial leaderboard does not accurately reflect the assists used, when set to 'Real', we must insist that you disable all assists to ensure a realistic and fair competition.

And again, in case it was missed, you MUST keep 2 wheels in contact with the track at all times - the 'track' is the tarmac and the white lines. Provided two wheels are in contact with the main track or any part of the white line (even if it's only by a few inches), then your lap is valid. These are the rules we have for racing and they apply equally to special time trial events like this.

As with every event that RSR run, it is our responsibility as participants, to read the rules of the event and stick to them.

I'm after a little community help with the braking on the BAC please?

This car over any of the others I usually roll with I'm struggling the most on detecting the locking point. I just can't seem to pick it up, either in sound, or via FFB.

I've dropped the engine sound to about 25%, so I can hear the tyre squeal, but the wind noise is overwhelming. I'm only able to stop the locking by reducing the brake pressure to a point I can stamp on them and they don't lock at all, which I know doesn't give me the best first bite pressure I could get.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
