Can I remind everybody that this is an RD club racing event and as such, is subject to our Racing Club Rules. Please pay extra special attention to The Golden Rule, Track limits Rule and Blue flag rule.
Anybody who is adjudged to have broken these rules - especially The Golden Rule - will be subject to a ban from racing at RD. This is not a public server and rule breakers will not be tollerated.

I have chosen a track which I feel is well suited to the AE86 Tuned. Unfotunately, this track has only 18 grid slots. It's a shame, but we are currently restricted to default content only.

So, @pattikins ,@HF2000 ,@Kjell Eilertsen ,@joeymac ,@Kek700 ,@Neilski ,@Interslice,@iwn ,@Des Pearce ,@switch3d ,@Chris Down ,@Sheashant L ,@640er ,@Partick Eaton ,@GeekyDeaks ,@stribbeck ,@Robert Walker . Fair warning guys. Since I began typing this message, we are already down to 15 slots available.

EDIT: I took care to check and there is defo a checkbox for "Race Gas Penalty" which is unchecked by default. I will post on the forum that this does not yet seem to be working though. With luck, it might just be working in time for this event. Fingers crossed for that.

What DLC do I get for this car, and for some reason I am not showing as a premium on discord. I have linked my account and everything

OMG I'm such a noob. Japanese Pack.
Sorry about that, it's in the OP now.

Not sure about Discord. Should work if you linked your account.
@Neilski?

Robert Walker · Jun 24, 2020

cheers for the mention Denis. Just grabbed the last spot.

HF2000 · Jun 24, 2020

@Denis Betty Wow your combo's have become very popular!

And I know already that I'm going to be the best Dutchman in this event!

If you still need to buy DLC packs, it might be worth looking @ the AC Ultimate Edition from cdkeys - £11

@Neilski?

I can't see an issue

but then again I'm a total Discord noob.
@Andrew Whelan - can you please PM me your Discord username so I can check a little further? I'm not optimistic I'll figure it out myself but if I can't, I'll put it in the hands of our other admins

Sheashant L · Jun 25, 2020

Hi, Can you put me on the reserve list?

I would love to be able to do that. Unfortunately, S.GP does not have a facility for this at the present time. Sorry.

Sheashant L · Jun 25, 2020

Oh thats quite alright sir.
I was just thinking about last week when 3 people dropped out last minute.

Maybe you could make a reserve list here (true beta version)!

Thanks for including me here @Denis Betty, it was fair warning indeed. I just can't commit to races at the minute as I've several contractor's returning to site since the easing of the lockdown and due to the backlog we've had to move a lot of jobs to night works... which is why I was so tired during Monday's race that I forgot about the push to talk button on several occasions.

Anyway, this one filled up quickly again. You're good at choosing the fun car & track combos.

Enjoy this race all.

I am sorry to ask. But I got invitation for the simgp beta, and completed the steps. However I have never received any additional information. How can I join a race?

Click on the event/session that you want to join & choose the car that you want to drive. That's basically it. Unfortunately, this event is currently full - just keep checking @ simracing.gp for people dropping out. If it's another hot day on Monday, there is a good chance that I won't be racing.
