Sim Racers 4 Life welcomes you to Season 3 of our Historic's League. This season we move up to the Historic F1's in what promises to be an action pack event. There's no way around it, it's a hard mod and with that comes massive challenges. One of them Finishing and being consistent will be the key to a good season. We see the return of the reverse grid race with this series and now with only two racers per round it add a lot more pressure on staying clean in those opening laps. Expect big thrill, big spills and lots of emotion to come out of this series.

SR4L wishes you good luck for the season.

Marcel, It'd be great to have in this post all info related to the mods and special update.

Hope to have by tomorrow my right wrist fully recovered to keep on practicing for sunday.

A repost of pictures where your pit spot could be.



In warmup it is good idea to use this time to find where your spot is. Press the pit request button to make the red arrow pop up and drive around to find it. You don't have to do lap of circuit to do that. (careful not get a penalty for driving wrong way when doing this).

There is no red light at end of pitlane, in qualify don't go out too soon as pit lane could still be closed.

Hope to finish.

Quick question, any reason points are rewarded for only 10 drivers this race?, other races were 20 drivers.

Points? What points?

Fixed.


I've added some extra info to the first post. Please read.

100 points for 1st place, oh my :o :o

Regarding pit lane... The pit lane ends where the short white/red fence ends, but the pit speed limit ends when driving through the control station/3 lanes. Right?

Wrong. Pitlane and speedlimit ends at end of red/white fence on left, I just doublechecked.

That's strange, I always accelerate much earlier than that and I have never got any drive through! :o

[Lecram]

I checked it off line. Pit speed is then 65kph. Drove thru the gates below 65, then accelerated and got drivethrough.

[Hedlund]

You were right Marcel. The distance is too short to be able to exceed 100km/h when leaving pits... And when I was offline to do a 7 lap stint practice a few days ago, I did my pitstop and kept 100km/h until the gates and then accelerated. I did not get any drive through, but now I remember I have flag rules disabled offline :-[

Do you also know exactly where the speed limit starts?
Anyway, it's a long race so it's better to be careful and loose a second or two when entering/leaving pits. It's not as likely that race is decided by pitstop lenght as our shorter races.

And we all should be careful when we leave our pitspots. There are not only coming cars from behind but also from the sides, because the pitspots are placed on each side of the pitlane. So everyone should take a look at their right/left before leaving

After sunday's evening practice online I went to do some ironing while watching NFL and started feeling some big pain in my right wrist and thumb. Maybe trying to control some car unexpected reaction caused it.

Interesting the points awarded here. Finishing is a must.

[gorgias1976]

By memory I've calculated how many manual gear changes I'm doing.
I thought there were going to be a lot more, but in such a long track I'm only counting 50 gear changes per lap(25 upshifts, 25 downsifhts). That will mean for 558 gear changes during the race (550 + 8 in pitstop); 279 "heel and toes".
All that along with a very slippery surface and how tires will behave after several laps will make for a very physicall race.

[Hedlund]

It's a challenge, both physically and mentally. I will try to make the most of the mid-race "break", during pitstop ;D (should I hope for a looong pitstop or not? lol).
I'm looking forward to the race. I'm feeling comfortable with my race setup and therefore I'm quite confident. Finish the race is a must however. Unfortunately I'm not feeling good at all today, but I hope I'll get better by Sunday.

[Ricknau]

I checked it off line. Pit speed is then 65kph. Drove thru the gates below 65, then accelerated and got drivethrough.

Just to be sure... 65kph not 65mph. So 40mph?

[Lecram]

Pitspeed for sundays event will be 100kph or 62.1371192 mph.
