Okayama International Circuit

Okayama International Circuit began life under a different name as an interesting experiment in racing circuit management. In the late 1980s, golf course magnate Hajime Tanaka wondered if the country club model which was the backbone of the golfing industry could be applied to motorsport venues...

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 by the server in the chat window/top of the screen 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.

Hy Brian,

I can´t seem to find the "unregister button"

Is this one of these occurences where I have to anoy the race Director and ask him to kick me to the curb?

If so please strike me from the records.

Thank you, Carsten

oh no... that's a shame ... see you next time

Where is the track download?

 

[johnny85ac]

Sadly I didn't make more out of my pole. Fulvio and Weston, you definitly had the more consistent race and better pace with full tank. Made two little stupid mistakes at the beginning and then, after my pit stop, I completely lost the rythm for ten laps or so. It was quite close after Weston's pit stop, but he pulled away steadily.

So, well done weston, you deserved it! Congrats fulvio and thanks brian!
see you all next time

Nice track before the summer break. I did what was possible in the race. I was even able to stop a few people at the beginning (in a fair sense). Then mostly drove alone.

This car is causing my brake foot tremendous pain. I assume because the braking distance is so long. ABS is switched on. Maybe it's also because of the tracks with the hard braking zones. I am not sure.

Summer break, my left foot is breathing a sigh of relief.

Congratulations to the top drivers, see you next week!

Thanks to all for racing tonight. Yokahama is always enjoyable.
I'd very little warm-up and started slow but had good racing with Dave and Kimi at the end.
It got intense as Fulvio was catching us with a few laps left. Sorry @KDiesel for the big door bang. I tried to set the battle back up again but touched the kerb letting fulvio though and it oversteered me right into the middle of the track

Congrats to Fulvio and the podium!
See you guys for the next one.

Post below if you have any suggestions for tracks for phase 2 of the championship starting in September.

Late join as plans got changed mid way through qualifying so only got a few laps in. I loaded my Jarama setup but i was struggling with understeer then over driving the car into oversteer, all round messy driving by me. I was having a good race with Robert until he pitted and seemed to loose a lot of time. Good race, hope i can get some practice in next time.

I was having computer problems so loaded jarama and joined mid qualy also. Setup didn't transfer well either. More of an oversteer issue I felt. I couldn't breathe on a kerb without the back stepping out.
