A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you have to check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.

When entering the track from the pits, stay off the racing line until you are up to speed. Do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by. On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

Golden Rule

If you hit somebody off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
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

No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak & server. Not doing so WILL result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Glad you like it Han, welcome aboard matey

Thanks for the heads-up re the link, I've just re-sent it to everyone, which might annoy the carp out of them, but hey, it's 2020....

Was really hoping to see you for this one Denis! Team Green it is

Would be magic if @Fat-Alfie could join us for this one, hint hint

...huge thanks for your fantastic tracks David!

Fat-Alfie · Nov 14, 2020

Thanks for the invite, John. I guess I could give it a go - I haven't driven at DLR for well over a year but I think I can probably remember the layout

It might be an excuse to take a break from planting ferns and clover at the Battenbergring, too

I don't think I have TS installed but I'll see if I can sort that out before Wednesday, and get it working with my Odyssey+

Yes, that would be great but he has to promise not to use his secret short cut this time

!

Fat-Alfie · Nov 14, 2020

Trust me, I'd need all the help I could get. If I race on Wednesday, I think that'll be my 4th online race in 5 years

Bilsterberg, Battenbergring, Schottenring: are they all WIP? As I said I'm a big fan of your tracks (have done Fonteny for more than 12.000km by now) so this is great news for me and I'm very much looking forward to try the new ones! You're really doing a magnificent job!

Excellent David! I've put you in as TBD until you've chosen a car

I've just had a quick go & I have to say the Lotus in VR is an absolute delight around deutschlandring. That said, I raced with the Ferrari (330) the last time I raced @ deutschlandring, so I'll stick with team red please John.

You're in Patrick, glad you can make it for this one

Could well be a wise choice too, the Ferrari seems very stable compared to the Lotus, I'm off for a pleasurable jaunt now

My last outing in the Ferrari 312/67 @ Fonteny didn't go too well, so my expectations are not high
