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

1. If you hit somebody 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

You accidentally posted a track layout WITH the bus chicane…

Totally agree. 3-4 cars going in to the Outer Loop (no bus stop) @ death defying speeds is much more fun

I was tempted but didn't want to race against 40 nissans!

Damage realism for this race is 60%

I'll run a poll and feedback thread after the race.

 

[Partick Eaton]

Oh boy, one of my favorite tracks!

 

[random2k4]

Dang, a track I really like. But I will be on holiday for a week (think its my first one in 5 years)
So, I will just chill out hiking in the woods.

I'm sure that the bus chicane was introduced for safety reasons.

Ye we ran the group c event on the classic track. Carnage!

Took the fat boy around this track and it felt very nice apart from overheating left front. In fact, it felt nice (though not necessarily fast) on every track I've tried it so far, and now I understand why @RasmusP switched to it. This thing is a tank, you can get away with imperfect driving, unlike the Audi. The only question is, how slow is it?

Not Long ago we had @Aksu racing with us in the Nissan, constantly fighting with Chris Down for the win.

Say welcome to flat spots for tires

Really is that possible? I have no idea about damage in AC as I only raced here.

I’m really curious what AC does offer regarding damage simulation…

It is if you turn ABS off and lock up or if you get in a really big spin

They will be the least of my worries in the midfield
