A new week means a new set of events in our Racing Club. Here's what's on tap from September 1 to 8 for our Premium Members.
A good variety is often key in life, and it is in our Racing Club as well. Naturally, with real-life F1 returning to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, our rF2 enthusiasts continue their 2024mula One Championship with the fitting event on Monday, and already on Sunday, AC drivers can look forward to two 22-minute races at the Autodromo in N-GT cars.
Meanwhile, the series of Berta Tornado events takes fans of vintage race cars to Road Atlanta on Tuesday, while the rFactor 2 GTRevival makes station at Morgan Park on Thursday. On the previous night, the weekly FWD vs. RWD event takes place at Estoril
Additionally, keep an eye on the Rally Club, as more events for enjoyers of sideways action should join the list once the current event ends. Until Tuesday night, you can tackle Rally Japan in S1600 cars.
Using the same calendar but a different car in the Berta Tornado SP, another championship running the same calendar (on different dates) is set to start on September 10 already. Sign up now in the respective threads!
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.
