Welcome to the RD Racing Club. ALSO FOR NON PREMIUM MEMBERS!
Does online racing give you the heebie jeebies? Did you have bad experiences with dumb and unfair drivers on some random servers? FRET NO MORE! Here on RD is the place to banish all of those thoughts and come and join us for a night of exceptional racing and camaraderie where none of those fears will be an issue.
Rookie Nights are aimed at you - the newcomers. New people to simracing, or simply people who jump on a server and find themselves seconds off the pace. Or are fed up with unrespectful behaviour on public servers. We want to help, and to give you a place to experience the wonderful joy of racing other simracers sharing your passion - and we give clean and respectful racing the highest priority.
If you have any question on the night about racing on RD or online in general, or about how you are driving or anything else - ASK. By posting in this thread or a PM to the organizer. We are a helpful bunch, and when it comes to getting people up to speed or doing our best to convince you to keep coming back! There is no such thing as a stupid question at these events.
Special features for this rookie event:
- Non premium members can also sign up
- Fast car for rookies (Estonia 20/1600), slow car for regulars (Estonia 20).
