Need a warm-up beforehand or want to start online racing at a gentler pace? There is an MX-5/Abarth event on every Wednesday. We also run a practice server all week for both events.

Silverstone

Silverstone declares itself the home of British racing and with a history stretching back to 1948, there is some justification to the claim. Always one of the fastest circuits, Silverstone has developed from its windswept airfield origins into one of the most recognised in world motorsport.

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 (all 4 wheels) 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. Caution exiting the pits.

Golden Rule

1. If you are at fault for a collision, spinning someone or sending them off track, and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for up to 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, let them retake the position and carry on racing.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift off the throttle pedal.
2. Additionally, the server will automatically award drive-thru penalties, following 3 warnings, for off track shortcuts used to achieve faster lap times.

Penalties

A championship gives us the opportunity to deduct points or add time as a penalty. Below are the penalties for this championship. Please report incidents to the host. That will help to maintain the high standards of driving we are accustomed to in all club events. For multiple unsafe actions within a single reported incident, the time penalties and point deductions are cumulative.

• Golden Rule: if you break the Golden Rule, all points may be deducted for that race. Normal procedure via formal report and internal discussion within RD staff if there's an disagreement.
• Unsafe overtake/defending or dive bomb: 5/10/30 second penalties.
• Track Limits: 5/10/30 second penalties for gaining an advantage outside of tracks limits.
• Ignoring blue flag: 2 points taken off for each incident.
• Dangerous Driving: 2+ points may be also deducted for any unsafe actions causing an incident (e.g. unsafe rejoin/unsafe pit exit/swerving on the straight etc.)
• All reported incidents and penalties to be judged by host (Brian) and co-host (Han) via the usual PM system. Gentlemanly actions, or otherwise, after an incident may effect the final penalty awarded.

See here for a general guide on rules of racing and some examples of incidents that could result in a penalty.

See you on track!

FYI when I entered the server on Friday, I had to use the race password instead of the practice password.

You're in with the Lister Casper

Steve and Patrick: Sorry if you felt "harassed" or anything by me! I thought some laps a bit closer together would be fun, tried to keep my distance.
Steve, I messed up the braking after going in front and saw you on the grass in the mirrors and then disconnecting.
Sorry if I caused any annoyances!

Hi Tim, yes of course, you're in. I will just need to know your car beforehand. No rush.

Welcome mate. I like your avatar, because it reminds me a lot about my first sim racing experience. I played Geoff Crammonds F1 GP for a long time with a keyboard...

Hi Brian, i think i am going to have a problem getting back in time to race on Sunday as my 240 mile journey home has a painful detour. Better to give up my place to someone who wants it rather than trying to have 2 races that evening

Thanks. Yes, I never played it with anything else

When I connect to the practise server I get "checksum failed you have been kicked". I installed the skins and the name changes. Any ideas how to find out why it is happening? Thanks if anybody can help.
