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

Bloody Hell, this looks tricky especially for the GTR.

Following advice from a Mr Down, that its best to stick with the same car, Ill take a Nissan please.

Sure thing

I actually tried it in the GT-R while validating the track and found it's actually pretty strong -- the banking really helps it navigate those tighter high speed corners.

And good on you for sticking at it! That's definitely the way to level up your results.

Yes! The track map really doesn't tell just how different every one of those corners is in reality. I think it's really going to be something quite different

Raresch · May 11, 2020

that's a new one ... one R8#29 please. it will be a challenge to setup for this. I relied on setup market and joel until now

If you had a good Watkins Glen setup, this track has some pretty similar features, so it should be fine to reuse it with only minor modifications

Welcome!

Good lads, you're in

Hello Chris, I'm in, sticking with my usual R8. Thanks for continuing to organise these races.

Seeing as this is a brand new track, it will be interesting to see whether it will bring the pack closer or further apart. Looks like a great track for getting your tires toasted too

Looking at some of the run off areas, I think further apart is probably favourite
