A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. You will get 2 warnings before a 10 second penalty for exceeding track limits to your advantage. Any warnings/penalties are displayed in the chat window at the end of each lap.

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord and in game. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify who you are.

Info on scoring/penalties here

[Reik Major]

I can't see any RD server. Is it possible or do I have a problem?

It's running away the last few weeks Reik! Did you install the additional layout above? The usual then, make sure all filters are off and search RaceDepartment.com.

 

[Medilloni]

Looking forward to this one, great btcc track, the Primera is an absolute joy to drive here
....hoping the Labrador-mobile can match it

 

[stigs2cousin]

I can´t see it also

Only 2CV and Formula Agile

Doesn´t show up when searching for BTCC

For me it´s been like that for month now, will probably show up in a minute

Arghhhh, there's allways some big thing to overlook. Sorry mate.

 

[Medilloni]

@Interslice II guess you changed the version of Donny Brian?

I downloaded from this link and it wouldn't work (the one in opening post):

....but it did work when I noticed post 3 and d/loaded from there. Thought I'd mention in case there's anyone that's as easily befuddled as I am

Ye it's a 40 grid slot version I'm guessing you need both downloads if starting from scratch.

Not sure Brian I'd deleted all Donny files (thinking there was a prob), then d/loaded just the version in your 3rd post and it worked

'Ecky thump, there's some serious times put down for Donny

Def time to review the draconian BoP for the Volvo, just a teeny 10kg less weight Brian

Need to break out some skynard John!

Need to break out some skynard John!

Done that mate, so brought out the big guns, The Who; 'I can see for miles and miles', it still doesn't make up for -4mph top speed ffs

Interesting mix of tracks, how they play to each car through the Champs

...did I mention the draconian Bop? This is cruelty to Labradors!

 

[stigs2cousin]

So the BOP is only fine when your acceleration leaves the Beemers reeling in the dust .

As I was told earlier in the series:

the BOP is what it is,

NOW SHUT UP AND DRIVE!

Of course I may have paraphrased that just a little

'Ecky thump, there's some serious times put down for Donny

And you thought me hoping on the server a couple weeks ago was silly Now you see why I wanted to get some practice under my belt. Everyone seems to getting faster every week

 

[stigs2cousin]

Things are developing interestingly:

I´m now off to work, if things align right maybe I´ll be able to make it to one of the races.

Shifters crossed

OH, in case you thought your tyres were in the red for the last lap, look at this guy:

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Brian, not sure if there's a free spot for tonight but I've got time so feel free to put me on a backup list! I know for sure I need to work quite a few of the races in the full championship unfortunately.
