AM or PRO class?
These races operate two separate classes, AM and PRO. As a rough guide we are considering a "PRO" as someone who consistently laps Silverstone in 2:02 or under.

*We highly recommend using the in-built ACC radar when racing so you can keep it close and fair*

Voice chat is available on the RD Discord if you want to chat. Please use push to talk and limit chat during the race to apologies / lapped traffic info.

PLEASE ENSURE YOUR REAL NAME IS SET ON YOUR RD PROFILE AND MATCHES YOUR IN GAME NAME

Sign me up for this please, I'm almost 100% sure I'll be in AM but I'll do some laps beforehand and see where I sit on Silverstone lap times.

Cool, we can always adjust pro / am classification after this event if needed.

A note on PRO and AM
It would be helpful if you select / create a car livery that matches the category you are racing in. As an AM it will then show red next to your name in game. If you need any help with this just let us know.

 

[SwannyUK]

I'll be on the practice server tonight from around 20:00BST getting back into the GT3 Rhythm.

Unless something is up with ACC servers again and have to migrate to simracing.gp then we'll all be PRO

 

[JohannS]

I'm in!
Also, the usual livery post:

Sick of the standard pale in-game editor liveries? Want to show off your custom livery instead? Then I'm your guy
To be able to see each other's liveries, I'm creating livery packs for race days or events.
If you want to share your livery to be part of the livery pack, just send me a PM with the download link or the file directly attached. To make this job easier, it would be great if you could put package (WinRAR, 7zip) the Cars and Liveries folders, e.g.:

• Cars folder
  • car.json
• Liveries folder
  • Livery name folder
    • decals.png
    • decals.json
    • sponsors.png
    • sponsors.json

This format is not necessary (I'll figure it out ), but would accelerate the process greatly.
Looking forward to your creations

 

[Magnus Dahlgren]

I missed the last ACC Monday-league here at RD but I won’t miss this one! Looking forward to racing with you lot so sign me up please!

I wanna say PRO but I can’t for the life of me remember whenever I did 2mins around Silverstone consistently… perhaps the new 296 can help me achieve that performance

Also is there a skin deadline and where do I send it in?
