A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you have to check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.

When entering the track from the pits, stay off the racing line until you are up to speed. Do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by. On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody 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. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Practice server #12 is now up.

 

[hape]

i'm in with 650S pls

 

[random2k4]

And another new track to learn

In with Z4 please.

 

[Raresch]

I don't really know the track. So this will be a challenge and I will get at least something familiar: one R8 #29 please.

@Chris Down what setup would you say fits this?
- As I see it, there is a similarity with Donnington GP (long straights, one hairpin, fast corner everywhere else).
-Maybe Road America, if you reduce the gears?
-or Watkins Glen. That's the best match, I think.

IMO closest to something we raced recently is definitely Donington GP. Short straights, tight medium-speed corners, and similar cambering.

Hmm, I'm moving my daughter on Sunday, don't know if I can make it on time or have some energy left. Can you put me as a reserve with the 488?
