    I'm having difficulty combining Spa and F2. I own Spa and F2. Please could you talk me through it?

    Formula RaceRoom 2 and Spa should theoretically load fine if you own both.

    Can you be specific on what gamemode you're trying it in? I'm suspecting a ghost challenge in leaderboards as it seems to be happening to some players where they need to own the livery used by the challenged player.

    Hi thanks for responding.
    I open the RaceRoom page and have access to the games, but they have just changed/updated them by resetting the timers from zero to +- four or five weeks.
    I was lapping the Spa circuit in a F2 car until yesterday, but after they reset the clocks to their maximum, I don't know how to do it and have no access to Spa and F2. I've bought both those latter items (Spa and F2).

    But I don't press the right buttons ;-)

    My apologies to Racing Bear - I pushed enter when I wasn't ready.

    Which one? You mean game.raceroom.com in a web browser?


    Which clocks? I do not understand this part.


    Are you able to start the game up from your Steam client library and load Spa and the FR2 from inside the game itself?

    Hi
    I don't think it's a web browser, but the actual game itself. See directly under:

    upload_2016-3-1_16-25-47.png

    Re the clocks: Reset them to zero once every +-four weeks and shuffle some of the tracks around. I could use Spa with F2 up until yesterday but that changed to Mid-Ohio. The timer or clocks read 4 weeks, 2 days, 5 hours a minute ago.

    I'm new to this. Please could you tell me is the above what you call "Steam client library"? Is this the same as "game.raceroom.com"?

    Don't you have Steam installed to play with Raceroom ?

    You can't play Raceroom without going to steam and install several GB of datas .

    My guess is that the clock you talking about are the "competition". They are time limited.
    It's some leaderboard challenge from witch you can directly launch the game in "time attack" mode.
    Competition allow players to play a particular car-track combo for free (don't have to pay for this content), but once the competition is over you can not play it any more.

    Yes, I do.

    "You can't play Raceroom without going to steam and install several GB of datas"
    I have already done that and played RaceRoom many times.

    I've bought Spa and F2.

    Could you help me - my vision is limited, because the two mirrors are not showing in the game F2.

    There are two questions:
    1 I have not resolved my problem with getting Spa and F2 to work. upload_2016-3-1_19-17-10.png
    2 The two mirrors are not showing in the game F2, like this below:

    The FR2 competition that was running on Spa ended, I believe. If that's what you're trying to find.

    If you want to continue driving that car on that track, I would suggest to start a single race or practice event, or maybe in Multiplayer.


    Regarding the second question, you seem to be running the game in windowed mode and with a 4:3 ratio resolution.
    If you could try and go in the Options menu and modify the resolution to the native resolution of your screen, it would already help seeing the mirrors.

    If that still doesn't help, you can bind controls in the Controls settings menu, under "Secondary Functions" for "Adjust Seat Forward" and "Adjust Seat Backward", which will allow you to move the seat until you see what you want to see.

    Alternatively, you can enable the "Virtual Mirrors" in the HUD settings.

    To alter your driving view you can either change your seat position backwards (there are buttons you can assign to those functions in the controller options) or you can adjust the field of view setting (FOV, in visual options).
    What you are looking at here are only the competitions inside the game. Those are held at varying tracks with varying vehicles and you can join most of those for free without having purchased the cars or track.
    If you click that green "back to game" button in the upper right you'll get back to the main menu. From there you can select "single player" and "practice" f.e. In the menu that pops up click the car in the upper left and select the FR2 from the car selection menu. Do the same for the track in the upper right and select Spa.
    Hit "race" and you're good to go.

    You could also click leaderboard challenge and select the track and car combo you wish for hot lapping
