A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you have to check and 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 and do not race on your out lap. Let other drivers by in qualifying.
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. Remember, you've made the mistake by going off so let them by cleanly.

Golden Rule

Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.
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.

Thanks for the suggestion on this combo, I love it.

Also, like you said, these cars are so much fun to drive and they will surely produce close racing throughout the field.

Yes mate, you have Mats to thank for the combo.

kleis said:
Yeees, in please. @Denis Betty

Ha ha, well Mats said that racers from Scandinavia and the Baltic region would be interested, but I guess the cars were raced in Russia, so maybe Eastern Europeans will also like the combo?

Guys could you let me know which car you'd like, as I have to put the correct number of each on the server. If you would like to pick a skin, then I will need you to send a PM with your Steam ID number (17 digits) - you may need to do an internet search for how to find this.

As far as I know or can tell, the cars are the same to drive.

2105 mod page says it's a "restyling version of the Lada 2101". As Denis said, they are the same to drive. Steering is still set in concrete as once famously put by some journalists (see Clarkson et al. 2008) and the aluminium drum brakes have the same braking probabilities as cheese. You won't lock up, they are not strong enough. I believe the body is the only difference but of course, square headlights are aspirational and might add to the speed? For offline practice I would suggest the 2101 with Lightning McBoris livery though. It is most important to have confidence in your machinery.
