Welcome to the RD Racing Club.
It’s tin-top time and something new with the Top Cars from Daniel Jimenez at the Lausitzring in the state of Brandenburg, north east Germany.
With qualifying and TWO races all completed in approximately 60 minutes all in, you still have time to have a race with like minded people and do other things with your day too! There will be an open practice server running the week leading up to the race day and 60 minutes official practice prior to qualifying.
Especially the new and inexperienced drivers are recommended to participate. There are a lot of learning opportunities amongst a friendly community, without the intensity and stress of longer races, plus the chance to get it right in race two!
The car download pack has a choice of six manufacturers, Chevrolet, Fiat, Ford, Mercedes, Mitsubishi and Toyota. But there is no need to test them all because they are all basically the same underneath, loosely based on the South American Stock Car series with the same V8 engines and chassis, just with different bodies and cosmetic differences.
The Track is the Lausitzring DTM 21 layout with well over half of the oval available to really open up the taps on these great sounding V8 motors.
