AC Classic F1 Championship 2022

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

A new championship unique in history!

Based on the 1967 Formula 1 season, we visit 8 different tracks with the '60s F1 cars AND the '70s F1 cars in separate races. In each event we do two races of 35 min.

But that is not everything! As a participant you have to choose a brand: Lotus or Ferrari for the entire championship. If you choose the Lotus 49 from the 1960s, you will have to drive the Lotus72D in the second race. The same goes of course for the Ferrari 312/67 and Ferrari 312T. So do you consider yourself a proud British Lotus driver or rather a temperamental Italian Ferrari driver? Make a decision and choose wisely! You're in it for the entire championship.

It will be one championship, but technically it's two s.gp championships. You must sign up for both and with the same brand. The championship score is the number of points you get in both s.gp championships.

Standings in this classic F1 championship will be posted here in this thread and will be updated after each event. This will not be visible on s.gp.

This is a closed championship! Please post here with your choice of brand (Lotus or Ferrari) if you want to sign up!

Yes a championship isn't password protected. I can make it closed but than I have to register each participant myself.

Laurent, you have to stick with the same brand so I've giving you the Lotus for the 70 championship.
If you don't want that, then change both cars to the Ferrari.

Makes sense! Sorry, busy with things.. I'll stick to the Lotus for now, might change later. It's just that the Lotus 49 is great

Someone I don't know signed up and I can't check premium so I made both championships closed.
I want to be certain that the 'regular guys' like you will have a spot.

I've just become Premium for one year, I want to sign in the combined championship please ( I was looking forward to joining a RaceDepartment championship!).
I still haven't decided my cars, but if I have to choose then I'd say Ferraris

Great one @HF2000 ! Need to clarify participation with the government asap.

Will it be the modern versions of each of the announced tracks? Or historic ones if available?

Classic when available!

I was checking my working days vs champ's calendar and I'll certainly miss one race. If that's all right I'm more than happy to be part of this one, with Lotus.

 

[Partick Eaton]

This reminds of the days of GPL!

Wish I could join, but for my time zone this mid day and I just cannot commit.

 

[gearwhine]

Hi Han, seeing as i have loosely tamed both Ferraris i will pick them please

Hi Dani,

Great that you are joining us!
But before that you have to register your full real name in your RD account (it says only Dani now). That must be the same name you have entered in S.GP. I need that in order to add you as a participant.
