Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

So practice is necessary for this one.

Having problems installing this track.
Anyone else having problems.

I installed it by copying the downloaded files into the Assetto Corsa track folder. I'm not using Content Manager for that.

New championship? I'm in!

It's again a phoney championship for single events to make my life a bit easier.
We have data consistency problems with the old championship so to mitigate that I decided to start a new one.

ooo, this layout is bringing bremgarten flashbacks to me

Unfortunately I won't be at home on this evening. Every year on this day, to celebrate the birthday of my dad who unfortunately passed away already years ago, the closer family members go out to eat a delicious steak (or other piece of meat) somewhere. This was his favorite thing to do.
Even though I can't join them due to being in a slightly different country, I still always go out with my girlfriend and do the same as them.

Maybe you can try it with winzip.

If that doesn't work, I can Wetransfer you the folder.

What a lovely way to remember and celebrate your father's birthday.

The easiest track I have driven so far, that was until i thought I should get a bit of move on.
Once it is a competitive drive, suddenly it has another side to it.
A very interesting track, much to be liked..

Finally got took some time for AC.

After uninstalling SOL and installing the latest version the dark sky bug is fixed so everything is back to normal. I'm still getting used to VR, but at least now I can run in the daylight.

Had no problems installing the track, but I did notice the archive is quite large: that could be the reason for your troubles Wayne. I recommend using 7zip: https://www.7-zip.org/
It's very lightweight and can open zip, rar and every other compressed file format under the sun.

The track itself is not easy, that high speed section with a lot of elevation changes and turns is quite tricky! But other than that should provide for quite a fun race.

See you on track!

Quick reminder that we have a great combo on Tue at Bremgarten in the Lotus 25 - the most fun you'll have sitting down - promise...

[Alfred Wayne]

Should be an interesting race! Han you're doing a great job of finding all the "almost" fat Alfie tracks while you save the real ones for the championship

And seconded what Ricardo said. I noticed when installing this track via CM it took longer than other tracks to "search" and find the installation after downloading.
