BarryBL 4,369 Posted June 17, 2020 I’ve finally had a brainwave! As we are under a month away from F1 2020 being released, and we all need our racing fix, I’ll be adding one-off events for a bit of fun. This week is a F2 race meet around the Hungaroring, featuring both a 25% sprint race and a 50% feature race. Open lobby, so first 19 people to join me at that time will meet me on track. Anything interesting or funny happen? For recordings and stuff, also add them here for all to have a laugh at. This is a VERY laid-back event, and as long as its raced in good spirits, all should enjoy! No points or prizes, just a bit of racing to start your weekends! PC Platform, sorry. 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correll 27 Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Sounds fun! 👍😊 I would love to race, but im still at Work at that time 😔 Edited June 17, 2020 by Correll 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReimvomSchleim 168 Posted June 17, 2020 @BarryBLon the topic of F2, how about a GP Weekly Event with F2 cars?👀 Although you probably already created all Events that are gonna release for the rest of 2019 / start of 2020, but would be a nice one off for sure 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gives the players something a little different. Will mention it for discussion 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally didn’t give much love to the F2 cars but something like this would be better 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiidesire 27 Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) @BarryBL Will there be a One-Shot Qualifying and are custom setups allowed? edit: Also F2 2018 or 2019 cars? Regardless, sounds fun, I'll try to be fast enough to join😊 Edited June 18, 2020 by Wiidesire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarryBL 4,369 Posted June 18, 2020 2019 cars, short qualifying, custom setups allowed @Wiidesire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
senna94f1 239 Posted June 18, 2020 Could this possibly be extended over to ps4. There are plenty of top people on here willing to do this . Unfortunately I've fried my PC. Overcooked it 🍖🍗🧂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bicarda 469 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) 21 hours ago, BarryBL said: 2019 cars, short qualifying, custom setups allowed @Wiidesire Can you even do 5 lap sprint AND 25% feature? 25% sprint is usually about 5-6 laps anyway. Something to think about @BarryBL and something you can tell the devs after we encountered it: What tires you do quali on doesn't matter for what you start the race on. and what you start the race on is RANDOM .. Very fun in the sprint race if everyone's on the softer tire and you're on the harder i can tell you. I'll try to be there if i can get myself an early weekend from work Edited June 19, 2020 by Bicarda 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarryBL 4,369 Posted June 19, 2020 Yeah good spot @Bicarda Updated race distances after testing distances- 50% feature, 25% sprint. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bertozzi 22 Posted June 19, 2020 This is an amazing idea. I'd like to be one of the luckiest, it'll be funny. 😋 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeenierNeilb69 73 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) First race was fun. Heavy defensive lines and slow apexes from me for @UP100 and ls_K whoever that is here. Edited June 19, 2020 by TeenierNeilb69 Elaborating 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiidesire 27 Posted June 19, 2020 Sadly I was bumped from behind a couple of times at the start of the Feature race which lost me a lot of time and positions. Managed to get through eventually but @Flash-224 was already too far ahead. The battle at the Sprint Race between @Flash-224 and me was awesome though. Here is the fight: https://streamable.com/hl3q7n In the following are the results. Qualifying: Feature Race: Sprint Race: @BarryBL were you crashed out both times or did you seal your own fate? 😄 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingDome24 47 Posted June 19, 2020 Here's my view (P20) from the feature race start crash: Managed to finish in P9 (after starting from P20) with a Soft-Medium-Soft strategy, happy about that. The sprint race had a broken lobby and I was forced to retire.. 15 minutes ago, Wiidesire said: @BarryBL were you crashed out both times or did you seal your own fate? 😄 It looks like @BarryBL wasn't as lucky as I was in the feature race.

UP100 1,156 Posted June 20, 2020 @Wiidesire ah you use the forums. I believe I hit you in the back early in the race thanks to some problems with my connection. Sorry about that 😕 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiidesire 27 Posted June 20, 2020 @UP100 It's ok, I only lost around 5 seconds and took no damage. The game set me on a worse Soft - Medium strategy in the Feature race anyway, Flash-224 was lucky to get the faster Medium - Soft tires 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSKone 109 Posted June 20, 2020 So ridiculous how fast you were @Wiidesire, I hope I didn't slowed you too much in the feature race. I wish I could have been in the Sprint Race too, but the game sadly decided to desync or something and I was not able to rejoin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
