ACC Rookie GT3 event @ Silverstone - Monday 28th November 2022

[SwannyUK]

New to ACC or haven't done any online racing before? Come join us for a friendly sprint race and see what the ACC club is all about - open to premium and non premium members.

Although this race is aimed at newcomers to ACC or drivers wanting to sample good online racing, we welcome all skill levels.

For this race there will be two classes to pick from:

Am - Pick this class if you are new to ACC, haven't had much experience with online racing or you are looking for help with your racing. All we ask is you re-join the track safely if you come off and keep to the racing line for blue flags - let the faster cars find a spot to pass.

Pro - Pick this class if you have done online races before and your pace is usually within a few seconds of the top 3.
Keep in mind all skill levels will be sharing the same track as you, extra care to be taken please.

20 minute Practice - 15 minute Qualifying - 30 minute Race

The golden rule is no contact - if a pass isn't 100% on then wait for another opportunity.

The use of the in-built ACC radar is strongly recommended as this shows you where cars are around you.

Tough to attract new drivers to ACC while the footy is on I guess

Yeh, i think a lot of our race clubs have had a dip in numbers due to the footy. Lower numbers aren't a bad thing for this event mind you.

 

[SwannyUK]

Morning all, happy race day! If you are dipping your toe in to ACC tonight for the first time or haven't got much seat time in it I'd recommend using a stable car like the Aston or BMW. Unless you have them dialled in cars like the Porsche or Mercedes can bite without warning.

Please remember there is no in game chat during qualifying or the race. See you later

Pffff!
I'm really proud of all people around me. None of them watched anything at all yet. Boycott seems to go strong!

I'd love go race with you again in the next weeks/months. I got into a German league that's also racing on Mondays every other week and I couldn't do both due to new tracks etc.
But I should be familiar with the cars, tracks etc. by now so I should be able to race here in the off-weeks.
Missing you guys!

Would be great to have you back on the grid! Can we tempt you back by sending you chocolate? Beer? Sweets?

Nice to see familiar names joining and some new names too which is great. We'll be kicking off a full series when the football is finished. Maybe wait until new year?

So many Celebes and players were very critical, but when offered a fat cheque, that initial outspoken criticism seemed to disappear.
I could understand if you are in the low-income bracket in our corrupt society, we would all understand that, but all were filthy rich to start with, so it would seem greed knows no bounds.

The world cup should be renamed the " World greed cup".
Perhaps every two years we could run the "World corruption cup" for the stinking rich to become even more greedy.

Leaving work late so race against time if I’ll actually be home and settled in time.

May the traffic be with you! (Or train services, flights, blimps....)

 

[Smidgey]

It’s the M1 so I’m not overly hopeful

Would love to race tonight but just got home from Blyton Park, in need of a break and some food. Good luck everyone see you on there soon!

Driving or taking pics? I never did nail the 2nd to last corner after the fast esses on our Ginetta day - couldn't get the car straight enough for predictable braking.

I was shooting the Dragonsport Scholarship, they took 26 drivers and gave one of them a drive in a Clio Cup car in the Britcar Trophy races next year with the aim to compete for the championship.

Really good day meeting some of the young talented drivers from all sorts of different racing. Just non stop from 7am - now so in need of a rest instead of racing.
