Thanks for the heads up mate.
Round 1 Driver Briefing
QualifyingDue to the nature of the racing line leading to T1 drivers on track have the right to take the line as normal. Drivers waiting to head out please stay behind the red mark on this picture until safe to exit the pits. Take a look at the map and find a gap to avoid this situation all together.
During the race it's the responsibility of the drive on circuit to move right and let any car exiting the pits out.
Race
Donington has 2 big hairpin's that tend to cause issues if you aren't careful. To better understand what we are expecting from a race craft point of view see below. I'm not teaching you all to suck eggs, this stuff should be clear enough but it just gives you a reference of how we judge contact. This can be applied to most corners.
A - Green car's corner - it's towards the very end of the braking zone and at the start of the turn in point - the red car has no part of their car alongside.
Green car can take the racing line BUT have half an eye on the radar to make sure the red car hasn't out braked themselves.
Red car either needs to filter in behind or stay tight to the apex and see if the green car goes wide - easy pass if they do.
B -Red car's corner - The red car has part of it's car alongside (It can be a bumper or the whole car, as long as part of the car is alongside the radar will show it)
Green car needs to stay wide and aim for a cut back. If there is traction on the outside they can try staying wide and carrying speed. If they manage it then the red car needs to leave room on the outside and not push them off track (this includes mid corner and exit)
Just keep in mind that accidents do happen, it's part of racing but if you follow the above, leave space for each other and be a bit conservative on the opening laps it should help things.
Practice online with others or do a few single player races against AI to get used to racing around the circuit. Hot lapping by yourself is fine but won't help when you are 3 cars wide going into T1.
Golden Rule
If you hit another driver during a Club race and disadvantage them, you are required to slow (or stop your car if necessary) to let the other driver regain the position on you. This shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful. Please use some care when letting the other driver regain position, and do not immediately stop your car on the racing line where it can cause further accidents.
If it's reported and confirmed that you do not allow the driver you disadvantaged to regain their position by the end of that lap then you will receive an immediate 30 day ban from racing on RaceDepartment servers.
PLEASE USE THE RADAR / SPOTTER / CREW CHIEF

Hello. At Donny between redgate and coppice there aren’t any “straights” and from old hairpin to macleans its effectively a narrow corridor. If i get blue flagged along here - in the interests of not destroying anyone else fun i will:
A. move to the outside of hollywood to give a clear run through craner,
B. Stay on the rhs on the approach to old hairpin at the bottom of craner.
C. Move to the lhs between starkeys and schwantz curv
D. Stay on lhs on entry to macleans.
E. Keep to the inside following macleans before coppice.
The rest of the lap has plenty of straight to allow the normal lift to pass by the pro drivers.
Let me know if this is not ok!!!

Looking at RD for some liveries for the AMG, found tens of livery of a very talented designer. Was hard to choose one, but I'll go with the green, white and black Motul livery: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/mercedes-amg-evo-motul-racing-4-pack.57273/
A lot a awesome liveries, @JohannS. Congrats!

All sounds very sensible to me fella. I would add if there is anyone that hasn't got indicators mapped it would be a good idea, you can then indicate where you are going to move to.
