MINI FRIDAY'S ARE BACK ON RACEDEPARTMENT

Previously hosted for years with iconic sims such a RACE The WTCC Game, RACE 07, GTR Evolution, Game Stock Car, Stock Car Extreme and Automobilista 1 it's now time for Automobilista 2 to take over one of the oldest types of racing club events done on RaceDepartment.

Open for both absolute beginners and more experience simracers the easy going MINI John Cooper Works is one of the coolest cars to race online with a full field of opponents.

Just did 30 minutes practice, then 30 minutes race against the AI - that combo is fun! Please reserve a spot on the grid for me

[Eric S]

@Bram Hengeveld please make sure you adjust the time as the cet has changed due to day light saving time. UST time should be adjusted to come to the cet time of 20:30 (practice).

 

[Monkified]

I’m in

 

[HorneyMINI]

I'm in!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

@Bram Hengeveld please make sure you adjust the time as the cet has changed due to day light saving time. UST time should be adjusted to come to the cet time of 20:30 (practice).

Hi, thanks for the headsup. I indeed forgot about the daylightsavings situation.

I have modified the first post and added new UTC / British Summer Time and Central European Summer Times start times. Slight shift but should be our optimum for summer.

 

[HorneyMINI]

Clock changes give me jetlag, that's my excuse in for my likely performance on Friday.

 

[F2020]

In (definitely)

 

[T1MKO]

Save me a spot please Bram.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Save me a spot please Bram.

Sure thing mate!

 

[Dave Stephenson]

sign me up please

Clock changes give me jetlag, that's my excuse in for my likely performance on Friday.

Hypothetical question: As this is a short-track and in case Nick and I should represent again the tail end of the field, what is the official stance on blue-flags? F1 (let the leaders go past within three corners, if you are a lap back) or IndyCar (full Eddie Irivine on Ayrton Senna in Suzuka 93 action)? Being lapped might be the only race-action I am going to see ;-)
