Default Setups (added April 7th)

Drivers, please test your car on the server (SimHQ Motorsports 1) at your earliest opportunity.
The top-speed has been adjusted for Fuji's long straightaway on the cars that were redlining mid-way down the track.
The GT-1 Corvette and the GT-2 Porsche have not been modified per your requests.
The attempt was made to get cars within a class to have the same -- or close to the same -- top-end speed.
Also, car defaults are now set for full fuel tanks with 3 stops, and the 4-hour Endurance Race upgrade.
Please make sure your car has the 4-hour upgrade purchased and installed!
If you have issues with the adjustments made, please post in the Fuji thread and further adjustments will be made.
With over two-weeks to go before the race, we have plenty of time to adjust setups, but your feedback is needed and appreciated.

Custom Skins

A reminder you have until 0600 GMT on Friday, 23 April to get your custom car skins submitted.
Either email the file(s) to guod to be included in the skins pack to be distributed later on the 23rd,
or post the link to download in this thread. (added April 13th)

Night Driving and Headlights (added April 18th)

Headlights should be off at the start of the race.

Leave headlights off until the official calls for lights on.

IMPORTANT: Once you turn on your lights DO NOT turn them off until well into daytime.
If you do turn them off (like during a pit stop) it will DQ you.

Reference optimizing your headlights....

Race2Play forum thread on optimizing headlights:
http://www.race2play.com/homepage/show_posts/2297

Even at that, I set mine at:
Max Headlights="3" // Max headlights visible relative to your car.
Headlights On Cars="0" // Headlights illuminate other cars.

But as always because of variance in systems and broadband connections, test online.

Reference

If it shows that you do not have enough experience to purchase a car, open with notepad:
"C:\Program Files\rFactor\UserData\Name\ILMS.cch"
Change to: Experience=2500000 Money=2500000
