AC Multiclass Abarth500/MazdaMX5@Hernad Valley, Wed 8th March 2023

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

After some racetracks it's time to do a road course for a change. This time we're visiting the Hungarian country side. The circuit with nice elevations and fast but tricky turns, brings you through some rural villages. It's not a difficult track but quite deadly if you make a mistake.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS is essential for clean and respectful driving in our community. You should therefore use tools like Helicorsa or CarRadar and CrewChief. The links for these apps are on the bottom of this post.

DISCORD. It's important that you also join us during the event on Discord for additional information and instructions. Link is below.

Go to https://acsm.racedepartment.com/championship/dfca355d-15d6-4adf-a6ad-80ebc5d4af66?server=1 using the Emperor account you have been given and register with your steamID.

If you don't have an Emperor account yet, ask for one by posting in this thread (only for premium members).

Especially the new and inexperienced drivers are recommended to participate. There are a lot of learning opportunities but without the intensity and stress of the GT3/4 cars or the endurance multiclass cars. It's also good step up for those kind of events.

I'm in.

 

[JamKart22]

If I look at the entrance list then it says I'm already in - or do I have to do anything else?

 

[JamKart22]

The Entrants list is now empty so I've registered. Am I going mad or did you clear the list?

 

[HF2000]

Guys,

The 2023 F1 liveries for the Mazda are now available. https://www.racedepartment.com/down...-drivers.56935/updates#resource-update-102984
Tonight I will install them on the server so you can use them. But you need to install them also on your computer.

The list was cleared last night when I added the new event. You must have looked somewhere else. Or maybe you had Emperor open all the time and didn't refresh the page?

Are these different from the ones we've been using so far? 'Coz I have been using Alonso's 2023 Aston Martin livery for the last 2 races already.

I think the previous version was an educated guess with the correct numbers for 2023 This is an update with the real liveries (like a black Mercedes) so I guess they are different. You can check the screenshots.

Hy Han,

remember your promise to put the right track version (forward/reverse) into the registration post?

(No, I´m not back just yet

and yes, I´m cranky because this "flu" sucks balls.)

Will the two versions work alongside?

Because they are named the same and I don´t favor to "go in" and change everything by hand.

Don't know to be honest. I javen't seen the files yet. If the names are the same, I will replace them on the server.

Sorry to hear that Carsten. I hope you recover well.
Thanks for notifying. It's the regular layout and I've put it in the thread now.

and yes, I´m cranky

Doesn't seem to make a difference to me.

There was a time when I did like you

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Jeez i love this track..IM IN..

 

[stigs2cousin]

And now I know why our (Airplane Lover) Han likes this track:
when "going confidently" on this track my little Mazda catches "medium to big air" for at least four times.
Of course "jump to nothing" every time, as it´s over blind crests.

Han, you have a special set of humour

 

[HF2000]

Han, you have a special set of humour

You think so? Wait until you see what event next Thursday I'm about to organize!

 

[stigs2cousin]

About this special "sense of humour"

All this full power/offcamber corners and so little straights, isn´t this like "Shopping Cart Hell ??


Oh, BTW, stay to the middle on Start/Finish straight, the Pit Limiter is a little "grabby"

 

[HF2000]

isn´t this like "Shopping Cart Hell

I'd like a challenge! The week after something with more straights.
