*IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ*

Historic racing is famous for the gentleman racer era and that is the kind of atmosphere that I'd like to foster in the club. Please take time to read these web pages and try to get an understanding of what racing in this club is/should be all about.

Thanks

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

Guys the track was updated in April and we didn't race there on a Thursday with the new shaders yet. It's looking really great IMO and the car is just as much fun as it's always been. All in all (and I know I always say this) it's a cracking combo.

Please can we try our best to make this a well attended event. It's the last event before I take a week off (another Thursday with no racing) for vacation.

I'd really appreciate if some of you guys could tag up to 5 people each. Any more in one post and they may not get a notification. You can tag friends or just look back through previous Thursday events and choose 5 random people. This is a community run club and it wouldn't happen without the help that some of you lovely people contribute, so TIA.

@Stig Bidstrup ,@Lennart Groessl ,@Jack Smith ,@Yves Larose ,@Knut Omdal Tveito - you are some of the originals from when I first raced at RD. It would be a pleasure to have some (or all) of you join us this week for a true classic event.

I've penciled this in on my calendar. No guarantees. This will be a test for me. I'll be careful to stay out of everyone's way. Thanks as always for organizing, Denis.
