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.

Sign me up please in the Ferrari. Thank you Eugene

Dirk Steffen · Jun 26, 2018

I will show in one of the Porsche - my heart says 911 R, the brain says 911 GT3 RS and Walter Röhrl says 911 Turbo:

Before you start the clip - you MUST watch this in fullscreen and in high volume!

If there are free slots, you may be able to switch to another car, but you probably want to take the fastest one first.

Glaurung · Jun 26, 2018

Sign me in, thanks Eugene.
I will try the Lambo.

Dirk Steffen · Jun 26, 2018

@Eugene Abramoff the Porsche 911 R it is ... pure manual transmission glory this one ;-)

You guys can twiddle with your fancy buttons and programs all day long, I'll just enjoy myself ;-)

Chris Down · Jun 26, 2018

In in the 488, please. Thanks!

Enzo Fazzi · Jun 26, 2018

Lambo please

Dirk Steffen · Jun 27, 2018

Is it on purpose that the cars are not matching in terms of performance?
Especially the Lamborghini you have chosen is way, way way out of proportion to the other cars.
Even a Porsche 935 K3 on full boost posts slower record lap times on RSR than the Lambo not to speak about the other cars in this field :-(

Currently this is a 4 class field:
1) Huracan
2) F488
3) McLaren, Porsche GT3 RS and 911 R
4) 911 Turbo + Nissan GTR

Kicking the Nissan and Huracan and replacing the F488 with the F458 would make for a more close field in terms of performance. I tried for some time how possibly other cars fit into this performance wise and adding the Ruf RT12 would be a nice addition - it performs just a bit better than the GT3 RS and 911 R but not as quick as the F488.
