After a short break for drivers to take a RRL-mandated course labelled "Safety Cars and What To Do With Them", we bring to you a preview of the second round of the Random Racing League.

Or rather, the second round, part 1 and part 2...

Looking good! Half points in the championship table!

Well, due to the double-header format, there are two races for me to post for this round. I can't post them all at once, so here's the first race of the round!

Round 2 Race 0.5 -- Albi

Umm, that's Raidillon actually.

I'm sorry everyone. :lol:

Great race, Yofat Momma being the huge disappointment he is one again!

Let the record know that "Fast Lane" Friscotti is female, not male.

Aside from that, I think the broke this series

"Carmona once again retires from the race". Another accident.

Welp, it gets unlucky and unlucky more than getting from bad to worse for him. It's another "Well, we're done here. Next!".

Points for Wirihana, how glorious

Well, you know what they say about a double-header, "You can't have one head without the other head!".

Actually, nobody has ever said that.

Regardless, here's the second head of the double-header!

Do non-custom AIs make this many mistakes?

From experience, it seems to be on a track-by-track basis, also probably highly dependent on the cars used.

I ran some races with an A1GP mod to test out if AI races worked, with default-ish AI with very little modification.
Some tracks, like Toban Raceway and Croft, there'd be some corners where AT LEAST a car a lap would crash at. Likewise, on other tracks like Hidden Valley and Neva Ring, you could literally fast-forward through an entire race without incident.

Because each track is custom-made, and AIWs - the lines AI take - are set up by (I believe) the track makers driving around the track themselves, its all fairly iffy if AI racing works on certain tracks. And because AIWs are set by driving a car around a lap of the track, I think some AIWs are more suited to certain cars. Like the Camaro race at Autopolis in the last RRL, there were more incidents with them than with the A1GP cars in my test races, though that could be down to the driver's AI stats, idk.

So if you're planning to run a serious-ish AI Racing series with rFactor 2, be aware of which tracks could cause multiple incidents.

And NEVER use Macau. See last RRL for reference.

Posted: **06 Mar 2019, 02:20**

rFactor based games have a hidden option to 'train' the AI on each track to optimise their performance for different cars. This helped with the quality of the racing in F5000 when I ran that series in rFactor 1, though it couldn't quite make up for a modded track that had a borked AI line to begin with.

AlphaRacer's attempt at driving while on fire seems to have been done in order to empirically evaluate something:

A podium for the man with three towers in his name, and he does it at the race with fewest points on offer. Ideal.

No, the series wasn't dead. It's just more...irregular, thanks to my hectic work in university. But now, with a bit of rest under my belt, I can at least give you a glimpse for the upcoming event...

Round 3 Preview

Posted: **06 Apr 2019, 10:29**

Hmm... so this is either going to be a) the most boring RRL race of all time or b) near Macau last season crazy level...

I’m putting my money on option A right now...

Posted: **06 Apr 2019, 13:21**

So Amanda Huggenkiss went to find herself a man to hug and kiss, and found herself with HWNSNBM? Golly gosh with a cherry on top!

It's been quite a while since the preview (thanks for nothing, university. Not like I need a career anyway woo), but its time for the return of the series some of you have been waiting for!

Fantastic as always with this series. We need to run wet races more often

Ah, Eileen. You never disappoint when it comes to being disappointing.

Posted: **21 May 2019, 17:11**

Excellent.

du Chalard finally delivers on his pace! And I love how the race pretended like it would be boring.

I tell you, it was boring for the first 20 minutes or so, save the occasional pass in the midfield.

And then engines and then pit stops and then that stack up and then Eileen being Eileen.

I guess it goes to show that RRL drivers are more wild and manic than normal rF2 AI. Which I'm not terribly surprised by.

I. P. Freely didn't pee freely to put out his fire?! :shock:

After Quali I thought John Smith had it in the bag! Argh such a manic race in the end, suspect Audi will have something to answer to for all those engine failures...

Good day in the office for Carmona. But tough in these conditions

Coming to you from the bit of Florida that even Floridians wouldn't touch with a twenty-foot pole, in cars from F1's most wing-happy and ridiculously oversteery era, it's the 4th round of the Random Racing League!

Wow, almost dozens of cars did not finish. Survival of the Fittest as it is.

Carmona though, huh... did very good on quali, but then ending up sloppier than ever in the race.

Posted: **18 Jun 2019, 01:24**

So proud of Cesta Guaita Montale for doing his country proud and proving to be impregnable. So he didn't quite win, but he would have kept driving forever

Posted: **18 Jun 2019, 02:07**

This doesn't seem that far off from a normal F1 race in the 1960s. Must be the Florida air that made things go south.

I must know something considering my drivers won 4 of the first 5 races this season.
