AC Surprise Event for Everyone Tue, 31st January 2023

abecede · Jan 25, 2023

Everyone is welcome to join!
Regulars and rookies alike!

It is the evening before "National Freedom Day" in the US, in remembrance of Abraham Lincoln signing the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery on February 1st 1865.
What a wonderful opportunity to host a surprise event! You won't know which track it is until the event starts (although it's certainly in the USA - because thematic, ya know) or what car we'll drive!

So NO PRACTICE necessary (or even possible!)

This event is open for everyone - whether you are a premium member or a rookie! Although premium members get priority in case the grid is full. As usual it's a first-come first-drive thing, so register by posting a message below!

Since it's the same for everyone, nobody has an advantage regarding practice. But if you think really hard looking at the picture and text in the initial post, you may be able to deduce the track. But it's not really necessary. And the car has very very few setup options, and is quite easy to drive, so we should all be able to have some good fun in the races!
