A new week means a new set of events in our Racing Club. Here's what's on tap from September 15 to 22 for our Premium Members.
Fall is slowly creeping in through many parts of the world - which means more time to spend in your sim racing rig, of course! After the first round of the Berta Tornad SP version of the series, the FWD vs. RWD side of the Fat-Alfie Championship gets going Wednesday, heading to the winding Bilster Berg circuit in Assetto Corsa.
Before that, the GT4 Championship, also in AC, sees its sixth round take place at Sebring on Sunday already. The Q3 F3 Championship also hosts round six of its series, heading to the Nürburgring on Thursday. That day also sees rFactor 2's Super Touring event take place at Townsville - and a GT3 race at the same track at the same time. The choice is yours!
More events will likely get added during the week, including the Rally Club - so keep your eyes peeled! We will update the schedule below once new events join the grid.
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 of 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 comfortable in no time and even learn a thing or two.
There are Racing Club rules, of course. They include certain on-track behaviour 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 of what events are happening during the week, keep an eye on this post, which will be updated weekly.
Just Good, Clean Racing
If you are hesitant about online racing, the Racing Club is nothing to be afraid of. 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 comfortable in no time and even learn a thing or two.
There are Racing Club rules, of course. They include certain on-track behaviour 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.
