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 Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

A chance to race AC Escorts with the RD crowd - count me in, well done Brian.

Me and Han are signed up for this.

Hope some more of the gang can make it. Look forward to seeing some of you on track.

Just asked Bram to give me access to the group. I could see the event but didn't have an option to sign up. I'll sort out discord on my PC next

Nice one Dennis. Thought this might tickle your fancy. Another car I've always wanted to try, but have missed in the past.

I've added yourself and @HF2000 to the entry list.

Chris Down · Feb 14, 2021

Not totally sure I can make it, but provisionally signed in with the Nissan. Thanks for organising!

I think you posted in the wrong thread, as the only car available here is the Escort

Chris Down · Feb 14, 2021

Er, yes...

adie_the_badie · Feb 14, 2021

Unfortunately, I have to cancel for tomorrow due to my flight home tonight being canceled.

Thanks for the invite! I’m pleased to see the weekday races again and hope my schedule will allow me some free time to participate in the future.

joeymac · Feb 14, 2021

I'd like to do this race. If memory serves me from the one race I did in the RS1600, it's fun but it really punishes over-driving, so to avoid that I'm not gonna sign up until I can be confident I'll have time to practice tomorrow.

Will the voice chat be run in teamspeak or on discord?

I just received the email from Bram and signed up for this event on srgp.

Hope everything works well for my first event on this platform.

@Denis Betty thanks for hosting!!!

EDIT: LoL huge thanks for bringing it on @Interslice !!!

doof205 · Feb 14, 2021

I'll hopefully be ready for this. I'm frantically building

Will confirm tomorrow but I'll definitely be involved if this is a regular thing. Thanks for your efforts @Interslice

GeekyDeaks · Feb 14, 2021

Where is the seat from @doof205 ?

...and that is a very optimal use of space!

Hi Reik, I'm not hosting, it's @Interslice , I just tagged a few of the guys.

I did put a practice server up on RaceDepartment.com Escort Practice. It's a bit late, but I'll be on it quicker next time.

It's from a CiviC Type R EP3. Cheapest seat I could find nearby at £50. It's actually in good condition and with standard seat rails it means getting in and out is a little easier as I can slide back. Well, until it hits the bed! Good use of space like you say. My wife wanted that old doorway to turn into a wardrobe in the spare room for dresses but I got there first
