So I was driving along nicely and suddenly received a DQ. Apparently, headlights are now mandatory during the day? Though,the game did not give me any warnings when I turned my lights off. I tried this multiple times and no warnings. Are we getting some points back Jimmi? ;)

I undq´ed you, be happy with that. Report a bug report and ask for points there ;)
 
I can honestly say, atleast on our end and bar a few minor close calls with hypercars, the driving standard in D2 is pretty good. Can’t say there was many to complain about as a GT driver expecting a much worse race then that.

on the racing side, we opted for a higher rear wing to reduce the cars squirminess in Radilon, definitely happy to have taken that gamble, though we couldn’t match or pass anyone, with 10 GT3 cars DNF surviving certainly was a good call. Congrats to all, good strategy battles for a 6hr race!
 
Hi everyone!

This post may come from a bit of frustration due to today's result on our side, but there are things I'd like to express in regards to the driving standards this year. This is my second year in VEC, and definitely not my first time in endurance racing as I've been in top endurance racing championships like LMVS in the past.

There truly are some serious issues with driving standards. Just today, I have been involved in a collision at the bus stop chicane (hit from the rear by an LMP2) and avoided another 3 incidents. Later, we have been killed top of Raidillon in an incident in which we were complete passengers. These incidents occur due to poor maneuvers, divebombs, no space given, random swerving, utter lack of track awareness/attention or unsafe rejoin. There were also a lot of issues for many cars in Raidillon, some even tried to overtake through that corner (just why??).

Everyone has got a goal to achieve in this championship eventually. Some want to win and perform incredibly well, some others want to have fun and enjoy some endurance racing on rF2, but the common base for all to make this series great is to respect one another on track. Just saying, but the last few events have seen quite some drama and have been really bad looking for all of us. We have to do better, and we need everyone to do better. Let's make sure Daytona is a better race than the past few meetings.

I agree fully with you, but saying we have to better, is worth nothing, if drivers don't no, what they are doing wrong. We were on GT3 #71 today and had a lot of moments if we didn't pay attention, we could have a lot of damage.
making a impression video could help here. But if you don't regonize the moments you have to back off, then the problem is BIG.
in our case, we saw faster cars don't have the patience to wait till after the corner. some do, but a lot don't.

they bring there own car and others in dangerous, loosing time both.
thanks for beginning this discussion, mayby it leads to something
 
Good race for us apart from a couple of incidents, but there are definitely drivers who seem like they are running sprint-type races taking incredible risks. In the 24-hour races none of them will finish, the shame is that they will cause many others to not finish either. 13 dnf over 50 teams in 6 hours?.... if we extrapolate it to 24 hrs.... nobody will finish the race...

Then flush your cache. It’s the same as last 1000 times :) it’s there I see it
But I can try and flush the cache on web server late afternoon, I am not around until then.

I did it, but still 3 races.
It's no big deal on my side though.
 
Same issue here, can’t see race 4 in the standings

I feel like there needs to be a mandatory test race for every round going forward, the driving standards this season have been the worst I've ever experienced during the 13 years I've simraced. At this point I'd also start handing race bans for the entire teams instead of just single drivers because it really is not working at moment.

Judging the performance of some guys yesterday it feels like they didn't practice enough to know that the tires can be too cold and not have the grip to fully attack eau rouge/raidillon.:rolleyes:

Having to avoid big crashes every single start, losing rear wing once and engine twice (in a row) is not how I expected lap 1 of our first 4 races to go and can only hope div2 is cleaner.
