P1 24h Nordschleife 2024 General Discussion Thread

Another question about rules:
8.7.2. Driver swap is only allowed using the ingame driver swap.

Does that mean that if we want to have a driver during Q and change driver for the start of the race, this is allowed and we must use the ingame driver swap to do the swap before the start of the race session?
Will the warmup session will be long enough to do a full lap to comeback to pits to do the ingame driver swap or will we be allowed to use the shortcup to go back to pits at the end of the GP circuit?

 

Last question from me tonight, is related to the "formation lap".
Will there be a full formation lap or will there be something different? And is it too early to ask that question and answer will be given later?
Many thanks.

 

Due to last minute circumstances we cannot maintain the Shin Me team #367 please delete the registration thanks

 

Yes I had the same question. It reads as if maybe the original rules 8.6.3 forbids pressing ESC and 8.6.3.1 shows the penalty but the wording has been changed from "not allowed" to "allowed" so 8.6.3.1 is now redundant.
Hey at least it means we are studying the rules

 

Please retire Playteam #111 from the entry list. Due to personal life issues, we don't have enough drivers to keep both cars.

We will keep one car: #150

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Nelson Lira

 

Will the temps stay this low during the race or will you add some more temps?
There will be ice on the server soon
Also when it will rain which there is a high risk for it won't dry anymore.

 

I guess the reference time and the 103% time in the TRG class is wrong. Can you check it guys?

 

Any info when to join the server to drive at day?
Since 2 weeks it always dark... (yes, i'm drving at strange times like 20H CET....)

 

Are the other GT3s also very tight on fuel? I can coast into the pits after 8 laps without much issue, but if you're not the most fuel efficient you'll have to do some fuel saving. Last year the McLaren had 7 more liters than it does now.

 

What we have seen last year Track temps cannot go under 0° Celsius.
First in my opinion the track temps are wrong anyway if you add some air temp it will make it even worse.
The point with the rain is a good point but I don´t see any problem on side of the admins. I mean it doesn´t mean there are cars that can go with slicks and others cannot. In the end it is the same for everyone. And as we seen last year rFactor2 is not making any weird stuff if you have 0° Track temps.
Let the temps as they are. We practised with them for weeks already do not change them now.

 

To access the "protest form" (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1s1Ppe2gBvhuZIKzHC7trraQrkCDcQ3U_c584G2xK1Y4/prefill), you need to request authorization for yor google account. Is it intended like that and can I ask all drivers from my team to ask authorization before the race, or will you change authorization rules before start of the race?

 

Will we be able to cut the nords in qualy or do we need to do the entire lap?

 

Sadly team #241 have to withdraw from the race.
Sorry for late info
