Race.Me XMAS 1000 Hotlap Competition

After announcing $1000 cash prizes for the winner of the Mod of the Year Award votings, rFactorcentral keeps on putting out the big bucks with announcing the Race.Me XMAS 1000 hotlap competition.

As a thanks to all donators, everybody who donated to rFc since May 2006 is eligible to compete for the grand prize of $1000 for setting the fastest lap in the Panoz Esperante GTLM around Mid Ohio. The second quickest lap is still good for $250 while the third fastest driver receives $100. The competition is open until December 31th, using a fixed setup for the car.

You want to get your hands on one of these insane cash prizes but have not donated yet? No problem, all it takes to compete in the event is a small donation to rFactorcentral which could pay off immensely if you know your way around Mid Ohio.

    Seems a bit unfair. May as well include an “Aliens Only” clause since the majority of people will know damn well they can’t win this.

    Uh, the point of a competition is to be best, right? Everybody cant be best.

  • ermax18

    This isn’t fair. What about people that haven’t donated. Hahaha. Kidding, but this topic will come up I am sure.

    I am an alien so I stand a good chance. Hahaha. I can wish anyways. :) If I can get in the top 20 I would be amazed.

  • Tifose

    can’t wait to try this out!!

  • Tifose

    i don’t understand how this works i download the track have the add on but now what? do i race online on some server or offline the did not say much :roll: can someone help me :question:

  • ermax18

    Tifose: This competition is for donors only. If you are a donor you should have received an email with the servers and passwords. I haven’t had a change to do any laps yet but I am guessing they just have the servers configured to run a practice session that loops all day. I don’t see a place to see what times people are running though. I guess you really can’t tell how your time stacks up until the competition is over. In my league I tend to get what I think is the fastest lap I can run but then when it is race day I pull a little more time out of my ass. Running blind will make this more of a challenge. :)

  • N0body Of The Goat

    Fastest time I’ve seen in the server is a 1.21.xx :eek:

    It does not help that it has been a while since I last took these for a spin, but it also helps less that I cannot decide whether 100% realfeel is best or a mix with LeoFFB! :lol:

    I did some offline laps with soft compound and then jumped on the server to find they are running fixed setups. The fixed setup uses medium compounds. I had to readjust but pulled a 1:23.4 with only about 4 laps. The servers are also set to private qualy so you don’t see the other cars on the track which is great because people can ram you like children. :) This is a cool little competition. RFC should do stuff like this more often. I bet in the end they will make the $1350 back up in new donors.

    Not sure I will make a 1:21.xxx though. Maybe a 1:22.5 or so. Who knows.

  • ermax18

    I have a 1:23.088 now but I saw a 1:21.676. I have a long way to go. :) I need to use rFVCRMerge to compare the laps.

  • ForzaBarca88

    Sweeet, this should keep the aliens busy for a little while….might have a chance to win some races! :sd:

  • Tifose

    offline with all the aid off i did 1.21.1 i will donate 2mor and get online

  • ermax18

    Tifose, was that on the default setup, default fuel level and medium compounds? If so, you definitely need to donate! Hahahaha.
