AC Fat-Alfie Championship 2024 - FWD vs RWD

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

In 2021, 2022 and 2023 we did with great succes a championship on all beautiful tracks of @Fat-Alfie (David Pemberton) with as a premieres Bremgarten (2021) and Battenbergring (2022).This year we're doing it again with this time the Bilster Berg circuit (Germany) as additional track.
Also new are the Suzuki Swift, Renault Clio, Abarth 124 and Renault 5 Turbo in addition to the Abarth 500 and Mazda MX5 Cup.
And we're running this as a single class championship so be sure about your choice of car because you can't change it during the championship.

These are the seven events:

• 18-09-2024: Bilster Berg (Germany, 4,3km)
• 02-10-2024: Thomson Road (Singapore, 4,9km)
• 16-10-2024: Bremgarten (Switzerland, 7,3km )
• 30-10-2024: Deutschlandring (Germany, 10km)
• 13-11-2024: Feldbergring (Germany, 11,4km)
• 27-11-2024: Battenbergring (Germany, 12,5km)
• 12-12-2024: Fonteny (France, 25km)

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.

@KDiesel Very brave of you to choose the Renault 5 on these hard tracks, Kimi!
But indeed all the tracks except Bilster Berg have a very long (almost) straight part where you can gain a lot of time. Not hitting fences will be a challenge though!

I´m not sure is it wise choice, gears are too short and all that jazz but my heart has spoken...

Hi dfsalmeida,

We would love to have you. But as Allan said, our club races/championships are only for premium members (11,99 euro/year, see the tab PREMIUM). You will have access then to weekly 4 AC races and several events for other sims. If you want to join you have to put your real name in your Account/Account details in the field Real Name. That's for internal use only so we know who you are.
If you have done both, post here again or send me a PM and I will give you all the necessary information.

Regards,
Han Fazzi

Done! Server 2.

few new guys

Take the Abarth, I think it's faster overall (if you're not a pro with the Mazda (and I'm not the only one)).

@HF2000 will these races run from dawn to dusk like last year? It makes them even more special than they already are.

No, regular daylight races. Not everybody was happy with that format.
