TCR is Coming to AC Club Racing!

[Paul Jeffrey]

By popular demand, the epic SEAT Leon TCR will be coming to our Assetto Corsa Club Racing servers... starting this Friday 29th June!

The SEAT TCR, developed by the wonderful Shaun Clarke and team, is a simply majestic community modification for Assetto Corsa and almost perfectly captures the spirit of the rapidly growing TCR regulations that are taking touring car racing by storm these last few years.

With such a fine level of development having been lavished on the car, and because all at RaceDepartment love us some touring car action, we think the time is right to introduce this little beauty into our club racing schedule.. as such the TCR SEAT will be making its debut at our next Friday night spectacular, promising a full field of these beasts around the stunning Kent countryside at the Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit in England...

All you need to do to take part is be a Premium member of RaceDepartment, download the latest version of the mod HERE and sign up in the comments section of our race thread HERE.

This is a very exciting move for our Friday night events, and we hope you enjoy the change of scene as we look to make these events the kind of success worthy of such a quality mod.

Come along, have some fun and get those wingmirrors knocked off the car in some close and hard online racing action!

Sign up for the Friday night TCR racing action HERE.

Oh and before I forget, this isn't just a one off race! The TCR will be our car of choice every Friday night in Assetto Corsa for the near future, where our awesome race staff will be looking to get the AC hype train in full swing with x2 20 minute race events, free practice server and open setups - this is going to be epic!

The Assetto Corsa sub forum here at RaceDepartment is the place to go for Assetto Corsa news and community discussion. We have a whole bunch of mods to download, a specific area for modders to discuss their WIP projects and of course our epic Racing Club and League events. Head over and join in today.

should've stayed his line 16.03 ...basically pit maneuverd his self ha!

Yeah he tried to block a bit too late. He was a good guy, messaged after the race and said sorry and he knew he'd made an error.

Thanks guys for all your very nice comments. Thankfully they caught it early. It is actually inherited, and I got it from my Grandad. Unfortunately, he was a stubborn old git, and it killed him (god bless him) thankfully I have not inherited his stubbornness

So truly on the mend, and again thank you all for your kind words

Regards

Shaun

PS - @Leonardo - Got your message, thank you mate, and I will DEFO look in to this.

My brother and I had this. We thought it couldn't get any better than this. Kind of like:

Now my wife comes in and looks at me watching a replay and asks "Is that a real race or one of your replays" Oh life is good in the Sim World right now

 

[Shaun Clarke]

Hi All,

Just thought I would let you know, considering RD is using this now, everything that @Leonardo Ratafiá mentioned has now been addressed as well as something I forgot a long time ago, @Jebus mentioned the weight, as I had the weight for the SEQ version, which is indeed heavier, so this has been fixed as well.

Just some final checks, and then I will release V1.3, unless anybody can mention anything else?

Thank you Shaun. We had a blast and a full grid. We did 2 20 minute races and it's a good thing. Such close racing can give an older guy like me a heart attack

Well the feedback (I have 7 people testing as I type) is very very positive, car feels miles better, more precise steering, brakes are better, front tyres, esp left last longer, car feels more balanced.

Very very please so far
