Reopening an old wound (Interest thread)

[EikeSky]

Namely, RFactor2 Endurance. I'm thinking low cost to entry, so fully modded tracks and cars, with dedicated modlists to ensure compatibility. Custom skins and Real Life lengths. So 12h Sebring, 6H Monza, 24H Nurburgring, even.

Initially I'd like to start with something like (x)H of Paul Ricard using the GT World Series mod for cars:

Steam Workshop::GT3 WORLD SERIES V1.20

steamcommunity.com

Steam Workshop::Circuit Paul Ricard v1.05

steamcommunity.com

As a pilot event, test the waters. I don't know if stint lengths can be mandated in rF2, but ideal team members would be 2-4 per car. With how RF2 handles drivers, however, it is possible to be in 2 cars in the same race. All it requires is a disconnect and reconnect as far as I can see, but I'm more than willing to be wrong on that.

With how many drivers are interested in the ACC endurance events, I can only imagine how many could be interested in a more accessible (and expandable) from other parts of AOR. So please. If you'd be into the idea of assembling a team and taking part in this, *just for fun*, feel free to comment and tag your mates below.

For Driver change "quick guide", see here:

edit: This is a pure interest thread at the moment. I've asked a few who are either interested, or worried about the technical side. They are the two responses I've had so far. So please, any and all comments are welcome at the moment. RF2 is a new platform to me, and that probably shows in my eagerness to use mods. I know, but I also want to do proper endurance racing in AOR that isn't necessarily GT3, and awfully hard to run.

i'd be up for this!

 

[Ryan Ward]

i would do this it sounds good

 

[Dominooo]

Oi oi, great idea and I'd love to help!
I never did rFactor though, so I guess newb questions, why can't we use the cars they used in the Le Mans Virtual for example?

We can, but from my experiments in PCars, drivers seem to want some level of familiarity with the cars. GT3 is massively popular, so I'm hoping to get people from Pcars & AC/ACC sub-communities to dip their toes in rFactor too.

 

[EikeSky]

Here, @rFactor2 Coordinator do you have a list of drivers for rFactor 2 like they have in PCars? That would be super cool to try and get some attention on this

 

[RyanCantDrive]

I would be very interested in this

Well, I don't know why GT3 is so dominant in the community but I can't change that

 

[Shentar]

depends what day really, but why not

 

[Raoualf21731]

I could drop the racing in sprints for this kind of event. Never done races on rFactor2 either, and of course, it depends on the day but I'll follow this closely

 

[Thumbtwiddeler]

I've purchased rf2 and would be keen to get involved in some endurance racing. I went to the spa 24 last year, the date it was supposed to be held is fast approaching and we could run a rf2 GT3 race?

 

[Oggles]

I'm guessing this never really got going??
Really want to get into proper endurance racing with team mates.
Sprint racing is not doing it for me at the moment.

Sadly, it didn't. I feel the same, sprint racing is fun but endurance is even more fun. The best option for endurance you have now is ACC, last weekend we had Suzuka 12 Hours.

 

[Oggles]

Indeed. We did it in GT4 we were the Aston involved with Jardier...... Let's not speak of that.
Well hopefully something might happen who knows.

Well, if money would grow on trees I'd be doing the iRacing special events, but sadly it doesn't.

 

[Oggles]

I'll keep my eye out there. Then proceed to cry into my pillow because I can't afford it

 

[Leck3000]

I got RF2 in the sale just after LM Virtual but yet to fire it up as im a basic ACC bitch but would certainly be up for endurance events if they ever happen

 

[Mearcat]

Long time no post for me.........

Sadly the guy looking at trying to organise most of this has had to leave. Also with the fizzle out of the FE league that tried to rekindle RF2 interest, not many ppl are bothering with it here. Sad really, because I am finding it WAY better than PC2 every was (for me).
I'm currently lined up for a big endurance race in a week.... WITH MY OWN LIVERY!!!!

 

[pasha.proton]

I would like to participate. I always interested in RF2 events

I'm still open to doing this, but both this and my thread didn't really get much attention.

Endurance league? (Interest Thread)

Hello, I know a lot of people will see this thread, so don't be shy to either answer, react or vote in the poll! I thought of doing some kind of an endurance league, obviously with GTE and LMP2 cars, like it is in endurance. Team size would need to be set. Once per a few weeks/months, not on a...
