![]() ![]() The first 10m of 57639800… Follow me on my YouTube, I hope to live stream some stages… ![]() Fuel usage, tyre wear and mechanical failures are all set to “normal”. Initially I had full flag rules, but the caution/pace car laps were buggy so I changed back to “Black only”. The track will start green and rubber in naturally. Initially, I started them at the time it was in the real world, but as I generally only have time to drive in the evenings, that would mean alot of night time driving. Race time-of-day will start from the time the previous stage finished. Damage will be off too, the AI have a habit of doing strange things… I will always start at the back, no qualifying. They’re only there to keep me from getting utterly bored. This will usually mean I beat them easily but that doesn’t matter. I will keep the AI strength around the 100% mark. All that matters is covering the distance and completing the laps! Putting the A in AI. I say racing, but the result isn’t important. In order to keep things interesting, rather than lapping an empty track, I will be “racing” a full field of GT3 AI drivers. So for no good reason other than it sounds nice (I will have to listen to it for 57639.8km) and it was at the top of the list of GT3 cars in alphabetical order… Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Timing, laps all in tact!Īll good road trips need a good car. Then I can resume the session right where I left off. Come back later, re-load up rFactor2, load the replay and skip to the very end (the point at which I paused). Escape the race session, quit the sim and have a break. ![]() rFactor2 has a useful feature whereby I can drive for a period of time.There are no race tracks in Bristol, so I will drive the Silverstone National circuit for the distance between Bristol and Silverstone (129km, 49 laps). I’m measuring the start point from my hometown of Bristol, England.I will split such huge distances into smaller stints, as I am doing this solo it’s not reasonable nor safe to drive solidly for ~3 days.Take for example the distance between Interlagos, Brazil and Teretonga Park, New Zealand: 11459km! That means driving 2660 laps of Interlagos! At ~90 seconds per lap, that’s 67 hours of driving … not including pitstops LOLz. The distances between some of the race tracks is vast. Click on the image to open the spreadsheet in Google Docs…Īnd here’s how that looks plotted on Earth! Click on the image to open the map in Google Maps.! ![]() Here’s a table I made by labouriously measuring the distances and creating a route: Click on the image to open the spreadsheet in Google Docs…Īnd to make it a bit more readable, here is the route in order (starting and ending in my hometown of Bristol). I plan to connect the circuits together in this manner by the next nearest, until a loop is formed, covering the entire globe. That would be 21.90873985 laps of the Nurburgring (the combined GP and Nordschleife circuit). Similarly, the next closest track to Nurburgring is the Le Mans circuit da la Sarthe at 556km. Then, by dividing the distance between Zandvoort and The Nurburgring by the length of Zandvoort we get 65.47480845 laps (let’s round that up to 66).Įssentially by driving 66 laps of Zandvoort, I can cover the same distance between Zandvoort and Nurburgring. So, when we measure the length of 1x lap of Zandvoort (the pre-2020, non-banked version) we will get 4.307km. For example, Zandvoort in the Netherlands is about 282km from the Nurburgring: Manfeild Circuit Chris Amon (New Zealand)Įssentially, the plan is to measure the distance from one race track to the next (as the crow flies) and drive that distance in laps at each race track.Highlands Motorsports Park (New Zealand).Hampton Downs Motorsports Park (New Zealand).We have race tracks! At the time of starting this epic adventure, I had the following official Studio 397 content: But where we’re going we don’t need roads. rFactor2 doesn’t have roads per se, not officially anyway. Yes, I know it sounds mad but I have a plan. Much like COVID-19, I too am planning to cover the world, albeit virtually. Like much of the rest of human civilization in 2020, I find myself confined to my home, quarantined from the rest of the world as a new virus sweeps across the globe. ![]()
