A new week means a new set of events in our Racing Club. Here's what's on tap from September 15 to 22 for our Premium Members.
Once again, the Racing Club is in for a nice change between historic and modern content - sometimes even on track at the same time! While Sunday's GT3 race at Portimao and Thursday's F4 contest at Donington - both in Assetto Corsa - take care of the modern part, the Berta Tornado SP race at Watkins Glen on Tuesday (AC) and the Group C battle at Daytona's road course (rFactor 2) on Thursday take a classic approach.
Meanwhile, Wednesday's FWD vs. RWD race in AC combines both. In addition to the selection of Mazda MX5, Abarth 500 Assetto Corse, Suzuki Swift R3 Sport, Renault Clio RS Cup and Abarth 124 Spider, the Renault 5 Turbo Europa is going to try and represent the vintage flag as best as possible.
More events will likely get added during the week, including the Rally Club - so keep your eyes peeled! We will update the schedule below once new events join the grid.
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.
