A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.

Golden Rule

If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Hello.

I would like to participate in the race. I also don't have the username and password for registration yet.

H_Belane · May 11, 2023

I'll be there.

A short question: Why 50 minutes instead of 60 minutes?

50 minutes. Since the GT championship finished up I'm running things a bit more rookie accessible for a while. There will be another non-premo rookie event soon, hopefully as a rookie week across all sims. Plan is to drift from there back into 1 hour races in the more powerful GT cars, multiclass etc.
50 mins also improves the balance between the 3 gt4 cars for tyre wear.

Are we having a race server? I can't find it in the lobby.

Reik Major · May 14, 2023

Thanks for the nice racing guys and to Brian for hosting this event.

Here's my setup for qualy with only changing fuel load for the race. The setup is nearly unchanged from the last event we raced here in 2017. It's highly influenced from a fast finish guy racing with us, who's name I don't remember...

H_Belane · May 14, 2023

I haven't been there on Sunday for a while. I noticed that today. Not a good run from me. Several spins. Far too many little mistakes. A fast lap was always possible. But no consistency at all. That's when you realize how important training is. I don't want to experience anything like that next Sunday. So: training, discipline, concentration!

Nevertheless a great event!

Good race for me, battled with Robert, not in a direct way , but from a strategic distance. Trying to find a way past with a pit stop. But unfortunately Robert won that battle, having raced against Robert for while, I knew a game changing mistake was not going to happen.
I also knew that an overtake was going to be very difficult. It would have reversed the tables and I would have been the prey.

So it had to be a last 10 minutes race for me, I stayed out until the pits just closed, sneaking in 2 minutes before closure, but as said above it was too late and Robert did a great job.

Reik was in another league and Richard had too much work to do to bridge the gap.
So it was a lonely race for me, just had to hold a reasonable gap to Robert. Hard luck to Jason, these cars can bite hard, without that off, Jason would have changed the dynamics of us three, Hank too. I wonder how that would have turned out.
Shame about the turn out, this circuit and car deserved a better turn out, hope all had a good race and a special thanks to @Interslice Brian for the organisation.

I made 3 decently large mistakes the first was a spin early on caused by running wide out of campus coming to a stop just before the long straight. the next 2 were the same on lap 9 and 19, running a little wide out of double gauche and going over the kerb which turns out to be a jump firing me off into the barrier. after the second time i was to annoyed to carry on.
