A Radical day at Silverstone - rFactor 2

We invite you all to race in OZNZ's first Official rFactor 2 event!

With the progress and developments S-397 (ISI no longer own it) have brought to rFactor 2 in the last year (not to mention the stunning GT3 Pack) we think the time is right to start introducing this Sim to the OZNZ Calandar.

What better way to do so than some rowdy Radical Action!

Everything used in this event is base game content and will take place on Saturday the 5th of May at 6pm AEST and 8pm NZST.

Practice: 1 hour - Silverstone GP

Round 1: Silverstone - National

- 20 minutes Private Qualifying

- 40 lap Race (~ 35 minutes)

Round 2: Silverstone - International

- 20 minutes Private Qualifying

- 40 lap Race (~ 42 minutes)

Race Structure:

- Pits open whole race

- 1 Compulsory pit stop (bind those pit limiters and ignitions :D)

- Formation Lap and Standing Start

- Full Flag Rules

- Real road surface development (marbles and rubbering in race line etc)

- Dynamic weather (may be chance of rain greening the track)

- Safety Car TBC

- No driver swaps allowed

- Full grid of 15+ opponents guaranteed

A full grid of 13 clean, fair (to the rule book) AI racers is guaranteed and humans on top of that. Don't worry though, you'll struggle to notice the AI aren't pro human drivers, you can trust them for clean and intense wheel to wheel action, they will take defensive lines etc too so don't be surprised when they put up that fair fight

OZNZ Sim Racing and Traxstar Race Wear

It's a big day at OZNZ Sim Racing as we announce our new partnership with Traxstar Race Wear!

Traxstar Race Wear is a business specialising in Motorsport merchandise, and being Australian Owned and Operated it is a brand we are proud to be associated with and are thrilled to support.

The OZNZ iRacing teams will be running new liveries bearing Traxstar Race Wear as their sponsor as they chase victory in various competitions and special events throughout the year. We look forward to bringing you updates on their progress in the OEC Endurance and Sprint series, the VRS endurance series, and more.

Daylight savings is ending tonight!

It's that time of year once again when daylight savings comes to an end and we turn our clocks backwards (well, some of us do...)

This year, New Zealand and Australia change back to non-daylight savings time on the same weekend, which makes things very simple to drivers during the change.

We are having a week off from racing over the Easter weekend and will be back into it on Sunday the 8th of April.

On the 8th, racing will begin at the normal time for anyone living in an area that observes daylight savings time (8pm NZT, 6pm AEST)

The only change will be for our members who live in areas that do not observe daylight savings time (Queensland, Western Australia, etc)

For these members, racing will begin 1 hour LATER.

So, if you live in Queensland, Qualify (or Race 1) will start at 6pm instead of 5pm.

Hope you are all enjoying your long weekend!
