AC Social Event: BMW 235i @ Silverstone Int - Tue 17Apr18

[Bobby Pennington]

Time for a new car. We'll be using the BMW 235i for Tuesday night races. Don't let the car fool you. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing and provides great door to door racing, but isn't too hard to drive.

RaceDepartment.com US Club Practice #39 is up and running.

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

1. 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.
2. Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. 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.

I'll sign you up. Have you done one of our Academy's before? The cars basic setup is pretty good out of the box. We tweak a few things here and there to fit us. If you need help, I'll give you what I've got when I get something.

Don't worry about your English. You're doing great. We'll help you learn how to get a better handle on car setups. Just keep hanging in there
