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.

TBD Nissan please @Chris Down

I can recommend to drive a SLOW lap and also Park the car in the pits (but click on drive) and then fly around with the F7 free cam.
Just hit F7 and then use the arrow keys and the mouse (you might need to hold down left or right mouse button), ctrl and shift make you fly slower or on warp-mega-speed.

VIR was one of the hardest tracks to remember for me. I practiced for 2 hours and then did a 90 minute race on it and in the last lap I still couldn't remember the layout... But I didn't do the fly cam, since it was rFactor 2.

 

[HF2000]

In please with the 488, Chris. I have high expectations for @pattikins in this event as I saw that he's already on the practice server!

I couldn't get F7 to work until I followed these instructions...


In the past I've run a replay and used the F5 key to follow the car. But F7 give you the ability to zoom right out.

Thanks for the tip

I wish. I was playing it whilst I was just waiting for a friend to join another game. Besides, there's no AC RD club races to do during the week, nowt of interest @ simracing.gp, I don't own some of the content for rfactor2 or RRE, so I don't have any other races to practice for - I'm sorry to say .

Oh.. true.. I forgot that I edited that line a few years ago. The alternative would be (if using Content manager):

 

[demetri]

I was hoping for Nords to show up (been a really long time), but this is also one of the most fun tracks.
R8 for me, as usual, please

 

[Goblin616]

Something to be aware of on this track. The distance markers are in FEET, not metres!

 

[Goblin616]

I'm in. AMG. Thank you

 

[random2k4]

My non extisting knowledge of real life racing is really not letting me down I have never heard of this track at all. So count me in with the Z4 please.

I think I've seen it in one of the Top Gear (original crew) episodes.
