Welcome to the RD Racing Club.
As recommend by you, this week we're are racing the superb RSS 1970 V8 that's based on the March 701. If you've found the other classic single seaters a bit of a handful then give this one as go as it's a lot more drivable.
Note the car is paid content but it's less than the price of a coffee so well worth it.
The car comes in two flavours - with and without the aero package. I suspect one will be quicker but I'd like to have a selection on the grid so we can compare. If we get enough interest then I'd like to run a championship based on the 1970 season. I've found most of the tracks so this could be a great series. Like this post if you might be interested.
For our first race we're going to Watkins Glen. To make it a bit easier we won't be using the chicane.
The format will be 2x25mins races
