90th Anniv. LeMans 24: Special Event #3 of 2013
June 23rd, 2013
Race = 8:30pm Eastern (2 Hours 24 Minutes) (Day Night Day Conditions)
Round 2 of the SimRaceAlliance WEC series heads to Le Mans. This will be special event #3 of the year also. All entries already in the WEC, do not have to sign up here. You are automatically entered. So there are 21 openings left for this special event. Someone from the admin team will pm each entry with the password specifically for this event. Under no circumstances, should you share the password with someone who is not in the event. There are no driver swaps for this event. One Driver, 2 hours 24 minutes...HOW LONG CAN YOU LAST? All finishers are winners in my book. Good Luck Everyone.
Administration has looked at last years event, and its mishaps, and have instituted some changes for 2013. Because the championship is only using 2 classes, those same 2 classes will only be allowed for this event. We apologize Porsche/Ferrari fans. It's just simpler if we keep this race the same as the series championship. The Base Endurance Series mod, along with the track supplied by administration will be the only materials needed for this years event.
Qualifying Setup
Qualifying is LIVE as soon as the server is online June 7th. All laps posted on server will go towards starting position. Starting order is finalized June 21st at 11:59pm EST. Entries are still allowed after this, but you will just start from the end of your respective class. The Starting Order will be Posted Saturday Morning, June 22nd.
Race start
We will use a Standing start followed by a manual single file formation lap at 60mph until the beginning of the Moulsanne Straight (Just after Tertre Rouge)....The Green Zone is where you are allowed to accelerate, and the race begin. Until then, Everyone is to stay single file at 60mph, in the order you qualified Until the Acceleration Zone. Look to the Picture below for an indication of where the green Acceleration zone is:
With a supposed large grid expected for this race, I would ask that all participants disable ALL rfactor addons. no rfdynhud, no tvstyle....no program other than the mod running. So that there will be little to no lag for yourself. I would also ask that, entries put there visible vehicles option in settings on no more than 5!
Other Tips
Tweaks for night racing
rFACTOR LIGHTNING PARAMETERS FOR NIGHT RACES OPTIMAL PERFORMANCESIn your PLR (find it in UserData\MyProfile\MyProfile.plr) change the following lines to get the best, render on/in car with a maximum of FPS and realism.
* Max Headlights="3" // Max headlights visible relative to your car.
* Headlights On Cars="1" // Headlights illuminate other cars.
* Keep rFactor Car Tracker Bar On. (dots with positions on them). This is essential for the GT cars, as when you are lapped, you lose your timing on how far behind or ahead you are of your class competition. So the tracker bar at least keeps you with a visual.
*Tires are on 2x. This is a long event. So those 1minute pitstops will come in handy : ). Have the Gatorade and a snack bar next to the gaming rig.
* Traction Control; Auto Clutch Allowed
