    Argh man, messy. Big speed differentials.
    EDIT; Sorry I didnt explain that very well. At certain tracks the massive overspeed of an LMP (even an LMP1) can be manageable against a GT3. Le Mans is a good example. Massive long straights, not so many technical sections. Then you go to say Suzuka and it's very tricky, get behind a slower class insto Sector 1 and really its not till exit of Degna 2 that he can lift without totally compromising his race. Spa maybe somewhere in between the two examples.
    The LMPs have such massive cornering speed advantage its tricky, they are slowed a lot by GT cars.

    Put Touring cars, GT3s AND LMPs and it might get scary. One metaphor that comes to mind is from an LMP drivers perpective; Trying to run a swimming carnival through the kiddies pool.
    From a TRG drivers perpective; playing in the shallow end while ppl train for the Olympic freestyle through your group.

    IMO things worked pretty well GT3 vs TRG. The TRG cornering speeds were not so bad and on the straights we could get by.
    Other stuff happens too when the driver pool gets split across 3 classes. Plus there is no FIA International A license here in the sim racing world to show who should be allowed in the LMPs. (With great speed comes creat responsibilities :))
    Just an opinion.

    I hope you do a 24h race on a different track (so please no Nordschleife, Bathurst or Macau)

    I'm against TRGs, they just not fit into endurance ... mmhhh
    How about GT3 vs GT4?

    WHHHHHHAAAAT :eek:??? I can´t life without Nords24 :p. And hey, P1 is an German community, who when not they should offer it??? They and i´m too were really near by and have the spirit of the Ring inside, and mostly drivers in the world love it too. For me Nords24 is an must have in calendar! Other stuff you can find on every next edge.

    I´ve found it an good mixture here with LMP/GT or GT/Tourer. Maybe we should wait for vote result and decide after that, which class combo we took.
    If we could generate around 50 cars + on Nords, it would be the greatest competition, if you have to watch on and on and on to pass slower, or to watch in mirrors and let pass faster cars. On Nords you know is no limit beyond, there were Clios, Golfs and so on and they belong to! I love it to see all this different cars.

    The Nordschliefe is Iconic, so too is Bathurst. Jacky Ickz called it Australia Nordschliefe.
    These are the two tracks I want to race in real life.

    Bring on Bathurst!

    David, -i know exactly what you mean ;)!!! I love each Mountain, Mount Panorama and Mount Eifel :D. And i´m sure we will repeat first series race 2015 on P1, unfortunately with lot of problems on server (because of pace car) and driver deficits. But i´m not scared about this, we see lots of crashes there in real race, especially in the dawn. Some drivers of our team expect this for Road Atlanta but, but it´s my favorite in this vote, for me it´s an great track too, like a lot classical tracks in the US. Don´t like very much US cars, but more their lovely tracks.

    @Jan there are 10+ classes in RL 24H Nords race and TRG is one of them. ;)
    I think the speed differential of GT3/TRG is a lot more manegable compare to P1/GT3 (Rebellion we used is actually the P1 version) combo. And more importantly it will create more close racing. It was nice to see a good field of TRG class this year.

    By the way I see 24H Nords as the crown jewel of 24H Series. Iit should stay unchanged every year.
    And I would like to see other 3 races be no less than 12 hours. A 6 hr race doesn't fit the name :). And also... Well you guys know what I mean.
     
  10. It's funny that before the race I asked about the rF2 version because most other leagues went back to v1108. Guess what, at a different race on saturday that was using 1108 I had a game crash and a disconnect, and here on v1109 I had no issues :D Nice job!

    Ah, okay. Very mystic all. Robert Engel did have an screen freeze (GTX 970) and with that an rF crash, result was, that he can´t rejoin not knowing why. Vortex has had similar problem, but i don´t know, if it also was after an graphical issue!? For me it was an disconnect or freeze of my Fanatec GT3 RS (orange) during driving near Pflanzgarten. I´m not sure, if it could be similar problem with Wheel like with GPU? Fakt: it interrupt both. I don´t know, if my wheel works normal after reset ingame, because i had an impact and after reset my wheel stands on 3 a clock, so i´ve had to dc rFactor.
    Had written during race into Studio-Forum, but since now no further answer from them.

    You are not in the result because we tried to fix your reconnect issues by kicking you. It would be a lot of work (if its possible at all) to integrate you into the result.
