GP Rejects rFactor Championship S2 - SIGNUPS OPEN!

Post by Dom_Wings »

It's time for something else this time - welcome to 1997, and the height of the Super Touring era!

---

So, briefly, what the championship is all about:

This is a simracing championship consisting of 8 events that take place around the world, consisting of a feature race and a sprint race each. So yes, we’re all indeed playing the game ourselves against each other in real time, just like them real racing drivers do right now. For our series we are using the computer simulation rFactor, and we do also have our own dedicated server to host the races on.

We’re all using the Super Touring Cars v1.6 mod for the game.

The major aim of this championship is to provide enjoyable racing for *everyone*, regardless of their equipment or skill levels.

FAQ

What if I don’t have rFactor and don’t want to pay for it either?
Just follow the easy steps below, and then you will have rFactor free of charge.

What if I don’t have the hardware to run rFactor?
Unless you literally don’t have a PC, this is unlikely. The game is 13 years old, so it is very unlikely any PC you’re currently using would not run rFactor at least on the lowest graphics settings - laptop or not.

What if I don’t have a racing wheel?
Doesn’t matter, the cars are fairly easy to drive and the driving assists we permit make it possible to be relatively competitive, even when using a simple gamepad or your keyboard.

What if I am not very good at driving?
Great! Then your skill level matches our championship perfectly well!

What if I am super good at driving and win every event by a mile?
Then you can (and may even be expected to) balance your pace by un-tuning your car to match the speed of the pack. All we want is close racing, this is not an exercise to show off anybody’s skills.

What if I cannot take part in many races?
Doesn’t matter - if you can take part in even one race, then that would be mega.

Rules

Available Driver Aids: Traction Control, Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS), Stability Control, Auto-Shifting, Clutch Assistance

The only upgrade on this mod is Quick Rack - this increases your steering lock. It is essential for tracks like Macau, otherwise you won't get past some of the tightest hairpins!

Race events: Practicing for an event is possible offline or on the server at any time before the race event starts. The official event starts with Qualifying at 13:00 CEST, lasts for 15 minutes and is in the one shot format. The feature race starts at 13:20 CEST, and lasts for estimated 20 minutes. The sprint race will have a reverse grid and it will be around 10 minutes long. The whole event should not take much longer than an hour of your time.

Racing Standards: The cars are easy to drive so you shouldn’t need too much practise prior to an event, but please have at least a few acclimatization laps on every circuit and make sure that everything works without too much lag before turning up in the middle of an event. We will have lots of tolerance for hard wheel to wheel racing and genuine errors, but no tolerance for intentionally malicious behaviour on the race track at all. In other words: Making errors and causing crashes by them is allowed, wrecking someone else’s race because you mad at them isn’t.

The GPR users giraurd & TCBY will act as the supreme Racing Stewards of the Championship, so if you will have any complaints, please direct them to their mailboxes post-race.
