Continuing with another of the American classics this week, we're over at the Glen in sunny New York state. A flowing, undulating track, Watkins Glen is easy to learn, but hard to master.

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.

Practice server #12 is now up.

Faceplant · May 4, 2020

GTR please and thank you

stribbeck · May 4, 2020

911 again please Chris

HTIDRaver2k8 · May 4, 2020

I'm in - Car TBD

Raresch · May 4, 2020

finally some real circuits (even If I could have been able to race, I would have not enjoyed very much tracks like Nurburgring - Yeah, burn me on the pyre - Zandvoort or Imola. I do miss the Red Bull Ring and Monza, thou).

Anyway, one R8 #29 please

GeekyDeaks · May 4, 2020

Ah, another track to learn

. Can you put me down for the 911 again please? I found it quite stable, but that was probably because I was going too slow...

You got it

Luca Badin · May 4, 2020

I'm in with the R8, please. Watkins Glen is a nice one, hopefully we won't have too many punts into the chicane

(By the way, it's interesting how people who pick the R8 seem to be sticking with it, while others generally switch it up a bit more. Maybe we could create an official R8 team...)
