Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

A new track for us or not? The Kleine Nordschleife is has a lot in common with the real Nordschleife but it's only 7,1km long and you will recognize a lot of the corners and straights in it. Very suitable for our multiclass.

And you can now vote for the Track of the Month March.

AC - VOTE NOW FOR TRACK OF THE MONTH: March 2024

In 2024 you can again vote once a month for a track of your choice. Just like last year, on Wednesday we will almost only visit circuits where we have not raced before, but in order to still be able to compete against each other on your favorite circuits, the Track of the Month remains the way...

I’m away next week, can’t join this one.

HF2000 · Mar 27, 2024

Thanks all for racing tonight. It was great fun!
Sorry for maybe the not so clean overtakes I might have done.

And because Bouke didn't race tonight, here are the results from Emperor: https://acsm.racedepartment.com/results/2024_3_27_21_35_RACE?server=0

Please don't forget to vote for Track of the Month. You have until Thursday night.

Great racing this evening! I changed my "I always use the same setup" setup a bit and was even able to keep up with the top. The track was great too. Very well thought out.

Exciting at the end. It was a lot of fun Thomas and Ernie!

Oh and by the way. Three misfires from the steering wheel today. Fortunately, all of these when driving straight ahead. The company still has three working days to respond. Let's see...

Great fun and some intense racing towards the end.
I started last as I would have ended up at the back with the slow starting Swift and two long straights early on. But some good battles and a lot of luck along the way. Well done podiums and thanks Hsn for another great track.
There are still places available for tomorrow night’s Stock car race at the Lausitzring. Qualy and two races all in an hour.
Come and have some fun!

Really enjoyed this race to night after racing cars with constant lock ups and just not actually being able to race with them.

Enjoyed racing Thomas and especially Hank, not forgetting Han , oh! and of course Kimi and Andrea.
Spent many laps giving as much grief as I could to Hank

And after a lot of trying it soon became apparent there was no where to overtake, so I had to resign myself to the fate of the Suzuki.

It was nice to be able to stick onto a bumper without any real contact.

Well done to the new driver and all who finished

What a race....After frustrating first lap, nearly quitting and being at position 10 I could get back to the top spot thx as well to Ernie who helped me to raise the pace as he was pushing and kept up the pressure. Guess one of my best races concerning pace and enjoyment, it's always more fun to gain positions than sitting first the whole race. Good fight with Ernie, Hank and others, great racing. Decided to go in VR as I normally don't do in the Mazda, but it felt great. On last lap headset said accu is gone, so I feared to lose it all but this time it was enough left in the battery to get chequered flag.
Track was great, thx Han for organizing and all for racing.

@H_Belane
Just a thought……..
Is you throttle going to a 100% , there were times on the long straights when my Suzuki could stay with you. That is not right!!!

Dear Sir,

you´ve just discovered the ( well concealed) secret of "drafting"
