It looks like this might be the first GP this year where some won't see the starting lights...

Just a warning to all, if all the confirmed drivers turn up tonight we may have some DNQ's.

It saddenes me, but i have to withdraw from the race:
Automobilista suddenly decides to delete my setups..
And then trying to find a decent setup with this wreck of a car (others have confirmed that it drives terrible)
And the fact i have to get up early the next day for early shift for work...
I would love to have started.. but i don't have the confidence to drive around in a car that behaves irradic because of a hasted setup.
Looking forward to watch the livestream tho.

Interesting to read that Kayo. My AMS this week also deleted every last one of my setups. For no apparent reason either. Wonder if there’s a link somehow. Very strange though.

AMS has two locations where it stores user settings, one being the steamapps\common\automobilista\userdata folder and the other one being in Documents\Automobilista\Userdata
I don't know what triggers AMS to use either one of them, but AMS also uses the config file of whatever directory it wants to use.
I had that issue too, when I ran Win8.1 on my laptop, it'd use the Documents folder but since I went to Win10, it uses the steamapps folder.
But if they're really just gone and deleted from every possible directory, then there must be a problem with read-write access. Make sure AMS folder has write access too, as it's most likely stored in (urgh) Program Files(x86)

That sucks. Slightest nudge from a McLaren and the gravel killed me off.  |

Sadly the start ended my race. Looked like a car a few rows ahead of us had a slow start but I only noticed a second into the start and was allready going, saw Ricardo slowing up and tried to slow up and head right but couldn't as Ricardo went the same way, flew over his rear wheel and then got hit in the rear and bent the rear right track-rod which sadly made the car undrivable. Was good fun to do a few more laps in practice and talking ridiculous stuff with Anders especially so will see how Silverstone is to drive when it is put up, tried on a different version I have and it seems ok, just don't enjoy it so will need someone to battle |

I had a decent race with a good start. I got up to 11th by the end of lap one. I qualified on race tires so I probably would have started higher than 24th, but I'm glad I didn't after seeing the start.  Throughout the race there was quite a bit of stuttering and random screen freezes which made it difficult though, and put me in the gravel a few times. Not sure if anyone else had this but rFactor has that as well. I was lucky to deflate one of my rears (wasn't even pushing and the car slid) close to the pits and I still barely made it back for new tires. I appreciate the work on the physics but they couldn't have been this unforgiving in real life. |

I did my best start, saw a big space in the middle of the track and suddenly, my car was in the air. I lost the nose of the car and it took me a while to understand what was happening, my steering wheel was crooked and I only entered the box at the end of the second lap.
I lost 56 seconds fixing the car and I continued without any pretense in the race, I was already one lap behind the leader.
I was persistent and gaining confidence, even with the wheel askew, I got closer to the cars, my pace was good but the differences for the cars that were ahead were great. Finishing the race was a victory for me, as I hate that track and thought I wouldn't even be able to finish the race.
Congratulations Gabriele, Pascal and Dave, you ran a lot!
