Okayama International Circuit

Okayama International Circuit began life under a different name as an interesting experiment in racing circuit management. In the late 1980s, golf course magnate Hajime Tanaka wondered if the country club model which was the backbone of the golfing industry could be applied to motorsport venues...

A message to all Drivers

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

Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. 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

1. 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• General video guide to multiclass racing - Click here
• It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake slower cars. When a faster car is overtaking a slower car (a car in a different class), whether a blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not, the slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so.
• If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class, the normal gentleman's rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake, usually a slight lift at the start of a straight. Please be sensible.
• Separate qualification runs will happen for GT3 and GT4 classes. First 10 minutes for GT3, second 10 minutes for GT4. GT4 cars must not exit the pits before 10 minutes have elapsed. GT3 must not start a lap after 10 minutes have elapsed. You may be kicked from the server by race control if you ignore this rule.
• All other Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
• Discord is highly recommended for all club races.

Practice Server #12 is up

 

[Mr. Malarkey]

There is an Audi TT/Mazda MX5 race here on Wednesday 5 January? I only see the event at Avus. Link?

Avus looks to be the one for 5th Jan, on tomorrow?

Sorry I get you now... Mostly the 2 events match up. Not this week.

 

[Mr. Malarkey]

Ah, I misunderstood. I was assuming that you meant on the same track. Mea culpa!

Occasionally the tracks won't suit both Wednesday and Sunday events. Where they do, we'll run the same track.

Exactly, there are some tracks that are fun with the TT/MX5 but boring with the GT's and vice versa.

Great choice! Okayama is terrific fun.

The "old" password worked for me.

In with the Ginetta (LHD this time).

Perfect thanks.

Thanks tim, didn't realise that was gone. All the racing clubs are behind closed doors now so we can just spam passwords in the threads. The catch is, it will be a new password for each event... If i have things right.

Perfect thanks.

Welcome lads. Yep, going back with LHD myself

 

[random2k4]

Will be in with the Z4!

After more then 2 month without any sim racing, I finally got some time again.
Time to remove the dust from the wheel and go for some practice laps.

Welcome back Stefan

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Oooh hmmm. Difficult choice but it's gotta be the 911, really starting to mesh with that car and to be frank I am quite done with the ferrari for now

 

[Alfred Wayne]

In with the McLaren for now, but might switch to the Ginetta to give others a fair fight if practice shows the GT3 to be too much for me to handle


Still have no idea how to take the last turn though. Seem to find a new line every time around and it's never the fastest one!

Welcome along Alfred!
Ye it's a tricky last corner. I usually exit pretty wide and try to not loose too much speed out on the kerb. I've seen others having success with staying in off it altogether.

 

[Alfred Wayne]

Thanks for having me! Only been with the group for a couple months, but it's been a good time

And yeah, sometimes the stars align and I feel like I actually carry some momentum through, but most cases I think I'm just coming in too fast (obviously the first "beginner driver" to ever do that ).

Gotta make the turn before I can fly down the straight
