The 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours are fast approaching, and that is very much apparent in our Racing Club. A plethora of events connected to the iconic endurance race await for Premium Members this week.
For the 92nd time, the French countryside is going to be home to screaming engines, high speeds and an around-the-clock contest like no other: The 24 Hours of Le Mans are taking place on June 15 and 16. Unsurprisingly, the Racing Club follows suit.
There are Le Mans-related events almost everywhere: Three Assetto Corsa events take it to La Sarthe, albeit one using the Bugatti Circuit instead of the full loop, and two rFactor 2 contests will also see cars speeding around the track, both in modern and vintage guises.
One of the races will even take place on the Sunday of the actual Le Mans 24 Hours - but after the checkered flag has flown, of course. On the evening on June 16, it is time for some older GT3 machinery to tackle La Sarthe in AC, with the event starting at 19:00 UTC. All cars used are either stock content or official DLC.
The outliers are Assetto Corsa's Vintage GT3 race at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife and ACC's 50-minute race at Imola, for those who are looking to escape the Le Mans hype a bit.
There is a bit more to it though, of course. The Racing Club hosts events throughout the week in the following simulations:
Racing Club events are open to Premium Members only. However, there are occasional 'Rookie Weeks' or non-Premium Member events to allow everyone to try the Club. To keep track on what events are happening during the week, keep an eye on this post, which will be updated weekly.
Do not be afraid to ask for help if you need it, either! The Club regulars are a helpful bunch, so even online newcomers should feel comofortable in no time and even learn a thing or two.
There are Racing Club rules, of course. They include certain on-track behavior that is expected of participants, like how to handle incidents and racing around other cars. You can find the full Racing Club rules list here.

What is the Racing Club?
As we recently merged our websites, the OverTake community that had not been around on RaceDepartment before, we felt it might be useful to explain what the Racing Club actually is. Simply put, it is just what the name implies - a club to go racing in.There is a bit more to it though, of course. The Racing Club hosts events throughout the week in the following simulations:
- Assetto Corsa
- Assetto Corsa Competizione
- Automobilista 2
- EA Sports WRC
- RaceRoom (currently inactive)
- rFactor 2
Racing Club events are open to Premium Members only. However, there are occasional 'Rookie Weeks' or non-Premium Member events to allow everyone to try the Club. To keep track on what events are happening during the week, keep an eye on this post, which will be updated weekly.

The contrary, actually: It is not about competitive racing and who wins in the end, but rather about having a good time on track - with good, clean racing. This is the core element of the Racing Club.Do not be afraid to ask for help if you need it, either! The Club regulars are a helpful bunch, so even online newcomers should feel comofortable in no time and even learn a thing or two.
There are Racing Club rules, of course. They include certain on-track behavior that is expected of participants, like how to handle incidents and racing around other cars. You can find the full Racing Club rules list here.
