Nürburgring

Above all other circuits, the Nürburgring has a history and tradition which is intertwined with that of the motorsport itself. The 'Green Hell', as Jackie Stewart so memorably described it, has been thrilling and terrifying drivers in equal measure since 1927 and any event here remains one of...

A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. You will get 2 warnings before a 5 second penalty for exceeding track limits to your advantage. Any warnings/penalties are displayed in the chat window at the end of each lap

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord and in game. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify who you are.

Aaah, my favorite! Nice!

I hope I'll be back in time next sunday, might have to skip practice/qualy, but I'll do my own practice.

See you there! The Practice Server is up!

 

[Alfred Wayne]

I'll be there! Maybe in the porsche Anyone know if you could do a medium tire, no change strategy?

Also @H_Belane you're a genius switching out the kunos GT3s sounds with RSS GT3s that overlap . tossed in the URD porsche as well. Still trying out some of the sound mods for the z4, but it's a huge upgrade. Hadn't thought to do that

 

[Boukâh]

Still trying out some of the sound mods for the z4

Although I tend to like the sewing machine like sound of the Z4, please share when you’ve found a decent replacement for this car!

ACFAN sound mods are a good place to start.
I have acfans' 911 RSR mod stuck into the 911 GT3

 

[Alfred Wayne]

For now I have the z4 sound from the user Brian posted above. I tweaked the levels a little bit with this app (you can change individual car audio levels and it saves between uses)

Car Volume Adjuster

REQUIRES CUSTOM SHADERS PATCH 0.2.1!!! Did you ever install a car mod and realise it's loud as #### ? Do you hate to manually adjust volume sliders everytime you join a race? FEAR NOT With this new app you can not only tune volume of your own...

Phew, the training was hard work. Nordschleife is not Monza. Had to completely relearn the car which is still new to me.

I also did the sound change thing for the first time. Our ears were spoiled by all the great mods. I heard somewhere that you can do that.

I have one question if someone wants to answer it: 6 or 7 laps? My mechanic says 6

(but I don't trust him )

I would seven to be safe, unless lap times drop further.

 

[stigs2cousin]

OK then,
i´ve also registered.
Just to strike GT3 at Nords from the ToDo list, can´t avoid it forever.
(and even though "if I want to drive in a Merc, I call a cab" the Mercer is the car I hate the least.
The understeer is killing me, but that seems to be common ground with the the GT3´s.

So hand me the red lantern, i´ll cover your backs

Freck it, check your calendar before opening your big mouth.
I´ll be working late on Sunday

 

[stigs2cousin]

Brian,
sorry for making this mess, but how does the unregistering thing work again??

I'll delete you! I'm not aware of any unregister button. Have you used one before!?

 

[stigs2cousin]

Thank you.

(I dimmly remember having had this conversation before, so no, I haven't found an unregister)button

It will probably come eventually. They are constantly updating ACSM. New version incoming this week actually.

 

[Boukâh]

Did some offline tests with softs today, on the Z4 they are quite manageable for 4 laps (pitwindow max laps). I’ll do some more testing with mediums for 50 mins, to see if I’m able to survive on ice

 

[Boukâh]

Qualy is one timed lap only, right? Outlap easy on the tyres will be around 8:30/8:40 I guess, so session time will finish before the only quicklap is done, no chance for a second one.

In ACC there is a shortcut on the GP-track to start the hotlap in qualy (no need to do the Nords as outlap) but in AC Endurance there is no way to cut it, I believe. Or is there a trick or something?

No short cut that I know of. I can extend the qualy back 15 minutes to start in the hour? Would usually do a longer one for this.

Skip practice and make the Quali an hour?

I think it will be better to have more people with a valid laptime in qualy , so, yes please!
