Welcome to the RD Racing Club. ALSO FOR NON PREMIUM MEMBERS!

REGULARS: We're using the Rookie Discord channel:
https://discord.gg/tuDC8mg3

Are you new to simracing? Is Online Racing a step you haven't braved yet? Do you fear making mistakes or getting other people's way on track? Well guess what, this is the place to banish all of those thoughts and come and join us for a night of exceptional racing and camaraderie where none of those fears will be an issue.

Rookie Nights are aimed at you - the newcomers. New people to simracing, or simply people who jump on a server and find themselves seconds off the pace. Or are fed up with unrespectful behaviour on public servers. We want to help, and to give you a place to experience the wonderful joy of racing other simracers with the same passion and who give clean and respectful racing the highest priority.

If you have any question on the night about racing on RD or online in general, or about how you are driving or anything else - ASK. By posting in this thread or a PM to the organizer. We are a helpful bunch, and when it comes to getting people up to speed or doing our best to convince you to keep coming back! There is no such thing as a stupid question at these events.

Special features for this rookie event:

  • Non premium members can also sign up
  • Fast car for rookies (Cup version), slow car for regulars (ND street version).
  • Regulars can sign up but rookies have priority. With full grid regulars will be put on reserve list.
  • The race is with an easy to drive and very forgiving car so you can fully concentrate on driving without having to fight with the car.
  • A good base setup for the MX5 Cup will be provided when you sign up.
  • You will receive a personal message with information and tips for newcomers.
  • Questions can be asked in this thread and will be answered by the staff member. Or send a PM to him.
  • The race is hosted and attended by the organizing staff member
    • To monitor the race.
    • To kick participants who deliberate cause incidents (we want clean and respectful racing)
    • To give tips and advice for improvement after the race based on the replay (when asked for).

Guys,

Only one Rookie signed up and it's Dirk who isn't a real rookie anymore. So what do you say. Do you want to continue or shall I cancel the event or shall I make it a last minute surprise event with a different combo, suitable for a small grid?

I see 3 "rookies" there now :roflmao:

For me does not really matter: continue, cancel or surprise event.
The only thing is that I might join later, I have a few errands to run tomorrow night before the race so best case scenario is to join around 20:30.
Perhaps cancellation would suit my plans better...

Allan is definitely not a rookie! So I've set him in a ND.
 
I'd like to sign up. First online track race so I'd consider myself a rookie!
Hi Stang619

That's great! You're very welcome.
Please send me a PM with your SteamID and your choice of livery and I will sign you up and send you the password to join the server which is already running in practice mode.

Also please enter you real name in your RDaccount/account details/ . There's a field called Real Name. It's mandatory for our club races so we know who you are. It's for internal use only.

See you on track.

Not sure what went wrong, maybe the new racing socks. At first, I attempted to make my microphone work on Discord, but with no success. During the qualifying, my mini map showed a free pit exit, but every time I left the pit lane, there was traffic. Sorry for the confusion. On the first lap of the race, I felt like I was pushed off the track. Sure, it would have been a good challenge to catch up all the NDs with the Cup, but not tonight. So I quit.

Sorry I baled out guys, the smoke alarm in the room went off and wouldn’t stop, that put me off just as I was braking for T1 and I binned it.
Nice undercut Han, thanks for organising and well done all for hanging on in there.
(Update on the alarm.......battery good so must have been all the heat I was generating trying to catch Han;);)).
 
@Elmar3rd that was down to me, I think, never realised you were in the cup car, explains a lot.
I never paid any attention to you as I assumed it was an ND so there was no way you could come up my inside, So, I did not pay any attention to you, so I was somewhat shocked when you hit me, now it makes sense.:O_o:
I assumed all the cup cars were up the front, still do not know why you gave up, you could have easily made it to the front in a few laps.:)
