I hope it's not too complicated.

Sorry Paul and Tim for the extra work of having different server configurations and point scoring.

If everything seems correct I will post it too at rFactor2 official forum.

[gorgias1976]

Also please post all posible links you have from the cars and tracks (can't do it here at work).

[bullwinkle]

I think I can do it this way will see

P.S. about league, would be great to have mechanical failure allowed.
in this way most realistic changing gears on historical cars and no arcade shifting (with full trottle on).

[gorgias1976]

Thanks Mauro for the links.
I think it will be difficult to add mechanical failures, at least not without a big debate.

[dan bayford]

Thanks all of you its looks like we have a great season coming up your work is much appreciated

[Paul Swire]

Thanks Mauro for the links.

I think we could try it for one of the seasons.

Perhaps have it on for the modern season and off for the classic, as classic cars breakdown more often

As you like Paul, People should drive flappy paddles on the Flat 6 Porsche, that should prevent people from braking theair gearboxes. set it on the server for a try.

My main fear comes from posible random failures.

Is it just me or is the Road America 2016 version quite the frame rate killer? I cannot get rid of it even with lowest detail.

Thanks Andy for info, please guys post any problems you notice, it helps admins hugely.

[Mauro]

Yes, road america 2016 is super heavy. Impossible to use online because it has 3d trees.

I've added the track to the Dropbox for those that need it.

My bad

I will change the track on the servers. Just saw road America and thought that's it.

[viking]

Thanks

[Paul Swire]

New servers with correct track running

With respect, could you reconsider the 917 at classic belgium? I know it was voted for on the poll, but the 917 may be too fast for this narrow track, plus the haybales always end many guys' race early. Also, the track poll was not specific as to the cars to be used. Why don't we run the same Spa track used for the Flat 6? It is interesting to see how the 917 fares on a modern track.

We could make a poll on it, but I think most people voted it considering the classic Belgium for the 917.
The classic Belgium would be quite boring and bumpy for the Flat 6 considering its lower top speed and high grip, that's why I was considering racing modern versions of some tracks for the flat 6, more suitable to the characteristics of the car.

Too fast :o ?
The prospect of reaching vmax in a 917 and the challenge of masta makes this track one of the highlights of the classic league season for me.
Don't forget this configuration was used in the 1970 World Sportscar Championship and this car won the race.
