AC TransAm (TA2) at Road Atlanta - Monday Oct 23

dbx71 · Oct 13, 2023

Welcome to the Monday Night US RD Race Club!

Big thanks as always to @Luca Ciarfella for the fantastic artwork.

Join us as we continue our tour of selected tracks from the TransAm TA2 series. For the next race we head over to one of the most popular tracks in the US - Road Atlanta. With its blind crests, sweeping fast corners and roller-coaster elevation changes, Road Atlanta will keep you on the edge.

The TA2 series is one of America's hottest and fastest growing race events featuring the classic, Big 3 Pony Cars: Camaro, Mustang and Challenger. These cars will seriously challenge your driving skills but are a thrill to drive.

Choose your favorite car and take your place on the grid as we continue the age-old battle between these legends of American Motorsports history.

This event will be hosted by @dbx71

If this is like the Sebring race, it should be a good one!

So no NOLA now? I am so down for this car and track combo though. I have one concern though. When I go to register it only gives me the option to pick a, Clio? You cant trick me that easy DBX

Edit: I got it figured out and registered for the correct race. My original theory still stands, since the link posted above took me to the Clio registration

Damn, You saw right through my attempt to get you into that Clio. Lol.

Kidding aside, sounds like I need to update those registration links. Thx for letting me know but I’m glad you figured it out.

Check out the practice server when you get a chance. I think you guys are gonna like the track settings.

I haven’t forgotten about Nola. Just trying to get more folks in with more popular track first.

@dbx71 can I have the password please?
I like such kind of cars and want to test them tonight. Are they as equal as a single brand cup or are there huge differences between those cars?

Hi Reik; Of course you’re welcome to try out the server! The password is the same as the usual for Han and Colin’s events. I will send it via PM anyway.
There are differences between the cars even between the CSP and non CSP versions of the same car. You’re going to like driving them. We’re loving them!
Looking forward to your thoughts.

Thank you mate!

So, if I have the free time, I could join without CSP? I don't have it...

I believe so. Would be great if you could join us.

-updated registration links for correct event
-moved the event session times from early evening to afternoon to improve FPS and changed weather to a standard setting not requiring CSP
-changed race format to 2 x 15 minute races

hope this helps. let me know if any issues.

Yesterday evening I wasn't able to join the server. Pretty sure because I don't have CM and CSP.

Do you mean I would now be able to join without it? Can't test it from work...

correct. i believe you should be able to join both servers now since i took away any settings requiring CSP.
let me know if that works for you.

I still can't join both servers. I think it's logical because with the CSP-versions of the cars, there's still some content on the server my game can't start as long as I don't install CSP.

Those csp cars also don't load offline for me. But no problem for me. I'm very short on free time, so Ive no hard feelings missing this one...

ahhh that's too bad... well, we gave it a good effort. hopefully, you can join us in some future events.

in the meanwhile, you may want to consider installing CSP (and CM)... those mods really bring up the gameplay experience of AC.

Thanks for your effort mate!

I'm a bit lazy to get into this CM and CSP stuff. And I'm afraid my low spec PC wouldn't handle all that eye candy stuff. (Intel i 5, 8 gb RAM, AMD Radeon R9 390)

no worries. well, i must say considering you are on a 'low spec PC' you somehow still manage to put in some pretty impressive performances on the online races here. nice job.

let's hope you don't get serious about this simracing stuff and decide to buy yourself a nice high performance PC!
