A new week means a new set of events in our Racing Club. Here's what's on tap from October 27 to November 3 for our Premium Members.
A bit of competition in modern cars, plus retro racing - sometimes even at the same track: Our Racing Club continues with more interesting events and scenarios, this time without open-wheel action, however.
The schedule features events in Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and rFactor 2 this week, all in a friendly, relaxed setting. Check back over the course of the week, as more events usually get added, including those of our Rally Club!
There is a bit more to it though, of course. The Racing Club hosts events throughout the week in the following simulations:
Racing Club events are open to Premium Members only. However, there are occasional 'Rookie Weeks' or non-Premium Member events to allow everyone to try the Club. To keep track of what events are happening during the week, keep an eye on this post, which will be updated weekly.
Do not be afraid to ask for help if you need it, either! The Club regulars are a helpful bunch, so even online newcomers should feel comfortable in no time and even learn a thing or two.
There are Racing Club rules, of course. They include certain on-track behaviour that is expected of participants, like how to handle incidents and racing around other cars. You can find the full Racing Club rules list here.

What is the Racing Club?
As we recently merged our websites, the OverTake community that had not been around on RaceDepartment before, we felt it might be useful to explain what the Racing Club actually is. Simply put, it is just what the name implies - a club to go racing in.There is a bit more to it though, of course. The Racing Club hosts events throughout the week in the following simulations:
- Assetto Corsa
- Assetto Corsa Competizione
- Automobilista 2
- EA Sports WRC
- RaceRoom (currently inactive)
- rFactor 2
Racing Club events are open to Premium Members only. However, there are occasional 'Rookie Weeks' or non-Premium Member events to allow everyone to try the Club. To keep track of what events are happening during the week, keep an eye on this post, which will be updated weekly.
Just Good, Clean Racing
If you are hesitant about online racing, the Racing Club is nothing to be afraid of. The contrary, actually: It is not about competitive racing and who wins in the end, but rather about having a good time on track - with good, clean racing. This is the core element of the Racing Club.Do not be afraid to ask for help if you need it, either! The Club regulars are a helpful bunch, so even online newcomers should feel comfortable in no time and even learn a thing or two.
There are Racing Club rules, of course. They include certain on-track behaviour that is expected of participants, like how to handle incidents and racing around other cars. You can find the full Racing Club rules list here.
