A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them 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 Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Video guide to multiclass racing - Click here
• It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake cars in slower class. (Blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not) The slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so.
• If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class, the normal blue flags gentleman's rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake, usually a slight lift at the start of a straight. Please be sensible.
• Separate qualification runs will happen for GTLM and GT1 classes. First 10 minutes for GTLM, second 10 minutes for GT1. GT1 cars must not exit the pit lane before 10 minutes have elapsed. GTLM must not start a lap after 10 minutes have elapsed. You may be kicked from the server by race control if you ignore this rule.
• Points/Penalty information - Click here
• All other Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
• Discord is highly recommended for all club races. For multiclass it is particularly important.

Practice Server is UP!!

Going with the CLR as the main car but might add in the other kunos GT cars if they are viable with a bit of BOP.

If any one has a bit of time to test them out on the server that would be great! All have TC and ABS enabled, to match the CLR specs.

CLR Skins. Both drop into CM

Mercedes Benz CLR LM Skin Pack

This skin pack contains the cars #4, #5 and #6 that took part in the 1999 24 hours of Le Mans as well as replicas of the 1998 CLK LM cars #1 and #2 of the GT1 championship adapted for the CLR LM. These skins are for the URD CLR LM that can be...

Skins - [4K] URD Mercedes CLR LM 1999 Le Mans skinpack

Propanator submitted a new resource: URD Mercedes CLR LM 1999 Le Mans skinpack - Replicas of the 1999 Le Mans 24h Mercedes cars. The ill-fated trio of Mercedes CLR LMs that attempted to compete in the 1999 Le Mans 24h race. If there are any glaring issues with the liveries, please let me...

Looks like the CLR is not free afterall, URD demands a "donation"

As this is not stated on the cars page I feel a little duped by that practice.

Any other cars available?

you can set the donation to 0 i believe.

 

[Alfred Wayne]

Yeah, like the radical from URD we raced a couple months ago, it's 0+. You can put in 0 or pay what you wish.

 

[Interslice]

Yep, you can just click up and down by 1 cent either.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Nope, still charges me at least one euro per car.

Which is more than nice, except they are sneaking around about it.
I firmly belive that someone should earn by his work, but this is dishonest.

Be upfront about it and I will buy!!

Any alternative cars?

 

[Alfred Wayne]

@stigs2cousin That's really weird. I just checked out on mobile with 0 and it worked for me. No CC info needed. I put 0 in the field, didn't use the + sign. Sent you a pm, maybe that will help.

 

[robthesquare]

I was also able to check out for free. It took about 30 seconds total.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Problem overcome.

let´s see if this car agrees with me

(Is it too strong.....)

 

[Alfred Wayne]

Turning the diff down to 10% makes the car pretty controllable. Definitely easier to contain than the McLaren. That things missing it's long tail and it shows

 

[stigs2cousin]

I´m definitely too weak for this one

The complete lack of tyre feedback I could somehow overcome, but it ´s really strange to cross a curb and not feel it in your wheel. let alone get tyre slip information.
The killer is that I have a strange and almost painfull vibration in my steering wheel that starts over 100km/h and switches off at 275 km/h.

I tried Barcelona GP also, it´s not (only) the track

Thank you for all your help, any alternative cars?

Possibly going to run the maserati as a multi-class. Maybe that will agree with you better.

 

[Shed 17]

Just giving all cars a shake down. The Merc is a class or 3 ahead of the rest and such a joy to drive here. Loving it.

Thanks Paul!

Ye Merc is glued to the road!
I was thinking the 911 could be joined up with either the maser or the maccer but not sure it's doable. Getting clean lap data is difficult

 

[stigs2cousin]

. Getting clean lap data is difficult

I hear you.

This chicanes are "interesting" and the curbs are killer

Thanks for the alternative, I´ll try them tomorrow.
For now my elbows are hurting from the vibrations

 

[Interslice]

For now my elbows are hurting from the vibrations

That's odd. I thought it was overly smooth if anything.. A few bumps in the last sector unsettle the rear.
Maybe your road vibration feedback is high and your kerb low?

 

[Kek700]

Great circuit, we still need to find the idiot who insists on putting those stupid full stop chicanes on a lot of circuits that need a taxi turning circle to get around the silly things. then to add insult to injury makes a kerb that bolts you into the exit wall, right at a country lane narrowness at the exit, why????
i like chicanes, they are great fun, one of the chicanes is a great chicane, the other two are pointless obstacles.
But that moan aside, great car, great track. a challenge that the aliens will master with ease, for me a challenge.

But we have a week to sort ourselves out.
