AC CLASSIC FAT-ALFIE CHAMPIONSHIP 2023 RS1600/GTAM

[JamKart22]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

In parallel with Han's modern car Fat- Alfie Championship we're running the same tracks in the same order with some older machinery.

For all but Thomsom Road, you'll have chance to learn the track for the Weds race and have a go in some classic cars the following Tuesday.

As a introduction to Fat-Alfie we'll hold a non-championship race at Bilster Berg on 10th Oct - the first track he created and quite different from those that followed.

These are the six events:

• 17-10-2023: Thomson Road (Singapore, 4,9km) - results
• 07-11-2023: Bremgarten (Switzerland, 7,3km ) - results
• 21-11-2023: Deutschlandring (Germany, 10km) - results
• 05-12-2023: Feldbergring (Germany, 11,4km) - results
• 19-12-2023: Battenbergring (Germany, 12,5km) - results
• 02-01-2024: Fonteny (France, 25km) - results

For those unfamiliar with Fat-Alfie tracks, they have a great flow along with very different sectors, which makes it challenging to race, but also to strike a good balance between top speed and agility in your setup.

The tracks excel in great detail from a historical perspective, making it equally a pleasure to just drive without racing and look at the scenery.

Championship details (single class):

• Cars:
  • Alfa Romeo GTAM - Skins
  • Ford Escort RS1600 (KUNOS) - Skins
• Day: Tue, every two weeks
• 60 min practice, 20 min qualify, 60 min race
• Mandatory pitstop (at least 1 liter of fuel) except Bilster Berg.
• Fuel usage 100%
• Tyre wear 10%
• Damage 10%
• Best 5 races count for the standings
• Practice server will be available during the week of the event.
• Further details such as scoring rules and track conditions can be found on Emperor.
• For each event, a thread will be posted as usual as a reminder and for the latest information.

Well done Mika, i have these skins but could not remember where from. Colin will find it useful, i am sure

It's a good idea to take the same tracks as for the other championship (for a while). The tracks are great and you don't have to learn two tracks a week.
But I will switch to the Ford.

This looks like a lot of fun. I think I will finally take the opportunity to do some club races again. I would love to sign up, but I don't have the password.

Hi Christopher,

I see that you don't have a Emperor account yet. I will create one for you and send you the necessary information in a PM.

The skins are refusing to upload to the server. We'll keep trying but you're stuck with the standard ones for now.

Han has cancelled Bilster Berg from his championship so we can either...

1) Cancel it
2) Race it and keep it in the championship
3) Race it but exclude it from the championship

What's the feeling?

I'd say race it and if we're racing it why not also include it the championship.

 

[JamKart22]

The issue is that you might have a bad race due to the bugs and it would be unfair for it to count towards the championship. I'm inclined to go for 3) as it's a nice track.

 

[Twoddle]

3 sound good to me.

 

[JamKart22]

I've taken Bilster Berg out of the championship - but we'll run it on 10th Oct anyway.

I haven't raced with you guys for a while, but this sounds right up my alley! So I guess I need an account somewhere? (Emperor? Never met him mate!)

hi I would love to sign up, these are my favourite era of cars but I don't have the password. or an account. also roughly what time each Tuesday would these races be running?

 

[HF2000]

Hi Jemima puddle duck,

You are very welcome!
I will create a Emperor account for you and send you the credentials and some other useful information in a PM.

One of the rules that you will find there is that for participating in our club races you need to enter your real name in your RDaccount/account details. There's a field called Real Name for that. It's for internal use only so we know who you are.

also roughly what time each Tuesday would these races be running?

• 20:00 CEST, 19:00 BST (18:00 UTC) | 60 minutes - Official Practice
• 21:05 CEST, 20:05 BST (19:05 UTC) | 20 minutes - Qualification
• 21:30 CEST, 20:30 BST (19:30 UTC) | 60 minutes - Race

Thinking I might make it out for this one.
