Autódromo Internacional do Algarve

A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

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.

Should be nice here, I guess similar to the ferrari but better able to handle that bump in craig jones...

 

[Interslice]

Pain in the track limits removed.

We'll just go with gentle mans rules for this one

I tried it with 1 tire out but it's no better really.

 

[Alfred Wayne]

My crew chief thanks you for removing those track limits for ants

 

[random2k4]

is it already on the server? as soon as I hit the white line I get the message. Or do the laps count nonetheless and just the notification is messed up? In single player I have no issues.

It should be working.... Fixed now, one of those confusing AC things

Hi Johnny,

PM sent with password.

Please make sure to read carefully the event details e.g. mandatory pitstop and the club rules in post #2 before the race.

Nice to meet you on the practice server last night. Sorting discord is half the battle

Switched back to the Z4. I've started racing over at the ACC club mid week and after a lot of track time in that it felt a little alien stepping back into AC for a quick practice yesterday. I was all over the place in the mclaren so I think I will keep some familiarity and go back to the BMW.

McLaren is a tricky car to get used to. I've only dabbled in it but it has the odd powerband to adjust to for a start. It can break traction at really low rpm. Needs a commitment

Would like to join as well but need a password .

For me the Z4 feels great on this track. Only need to be careful on T4, the uphill left hander.
Still have to lift a little for that bump.

Thanks a lot! Looking forward to the race tonight. I‘ll sill have tu figure out my pitstop strategy, did not think about in practise and Im not sure if I should use softs for the first stint

Sorry guys out again this week. Family commitments have come up. Have a good race and see you next week.

Softs will be tough to use here in the porsche for sure. The last corner/2 corners boils them! Mediums and 50:50 fuel is the safest bet.
