Sign me up please!
Should be perfect for my first online race on a PC sim. (Hoping I get that last spot!)

Keith Gregg · Mar 14, 2017

Any room left for me please ?

Joseph Wright · Mar 14, 2017

@Bram have you remembered to leave me a space? Otherwise I won't be able to join the server

Urlauber · Mar 14, 2017

I would like to sign up! The description says unlimited slots, but only 24 are listed. Will there be multiple servers?

Armie · Mar 14, 2017

probably too late, but would like to join if possible

Bram Hengeveld · Mar 14, 2017

I just keep adding people to the reserve list and when we hit 10 we have a second server

Fabrizio · Mar 14, 2017

Sign me up fellow racefreaks!

A little homework assignment for you all. When the race is over tomorrow night i'd like to hear your suggestions which laserscanned you'd like to race again with the #AbarthyParty.

Norschleife, Drift Track in reverse? You name it. Here is a list full of nice venues to choose from.

we can try other cars like Peugeot 504 on Norschleife or monza full course

I love SPA Francoshamps!
Maybe the 500 is not the best car for it but I love that track, I am in love with it.
Second pick is for Montecarlo, third party mod track, but I love it as well!

OT (Please, tell me if I cannot and I will delete it).
I go out from the office at 12:20.
I arrive at home at 12:30 just in time to find the courier in front of my door.
I bring the wheel at home and go back to the office.
I am again in the office at 12:40.
I won my race for today.

Then I propose also the cars of my childhood, apart the classic 500: Fiat 127 or Fiat Uno.

Okay @Bram, as long as nothing really bad happens i'm in.
Just purchased Dream Pack 3 to be able to be part of this

Silverstone National isn't my favorite, but guess it's a better choice for such an event than Magione anyways

Bram Hengeveld · Mar 14, 2017

We aren't doing any mods for now as they add entry barriers for new comers into our genre. For now I keep the AbarthyParty

Jimlaad43 · Mar 14, 2017

There should be an extended ORSW version with more gridslots if we want us all on one server, is there?

Keith Gregg · Mar 14, 2017

Silly question time....what are the rules for your races regarding pit-stops, setups etc?.
Very sorry...this will be my first race.
Regards

PietervE8 · Mar 14, 2017

If it says "Mandatory pit Stop", you must pit in the race. This one doesn't, so if you have the fuel and tyres, you can do the whole race without pitting. For a car like the Abarth, setups won't make much of a difference, but you can play around with the settings as much as you like.

You can click "Back to Pits" and rejoin as much as you like in Practice and Qualifying (as long as you stop safely out of everyone's way), but you cannot do it in the race.
