*IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ*

Historic racing is famous for the gentleman racer era and that is the kind of atmosphere that I'd like to foster in the club. Please take time to read these web pages and try to get an understanding of what racing in this club is/should be all about.

Thanks

Hi. When is this race, and whats your discord.

Hi. When is this race, and whats your discord.

Hello and welcome.
The event (2 races) next Thursday 09 December.
You'd need to be a Premium member at RD to race with us or join our Discord I'm afraid.
Links to the details in the OP.

 

[SimApprentice21]

Oh im so stupid it's in the title when this race is haha thanks I will join the Premium Account

 

[SimApprentice21]

Hey Denis you are in the Moment the only guy In the entry list. Could we set the practice and race 1 hour later at 21 utc? I would really love to join the race but 20 utc is to early, I can't
So if the race would start at 21:35, I would sign up for the race

I'm sorry I can't change the time. We race at the same time every week throughout the winter. This is because we are mostly EU and UK based drivers - although we sometimes have people racing with us in Canada, the US, Australia, etc.

In summer time we race at UTC+1 because of daylight saving time. These times have been fixed for several years so that people get used to them. We cannot change them around because somebody will miss out, sorry.
You are welcome to sign up for Race 2 only if you want to. You'd be very welcome - we are always very happy to have new drivers join us. Participation has been very low lately, so we will try extra hard to make you welcome.

If you decide to race with us, we would ask you to read the rules, linked in the OP, and (so that I can tell which drivers are on the server) use your real name in game and on Discord. You will also need to click on your name tab (top right of the page ^) and go to Account Details, where you need to fill in the Real Names field. Your real name will only be visible to other Premium members and RD staff. It will not be show in any internet search results.

Sorry to give you extra hoops to jump through, but it's the same for eveybody and only takes a few moments. If you have any questions, about this or linking your RD account to Discord, or anything else, please just ask.

Hope to see you on Thursday.

All the best.

I would LOVE to enter races but at this hour?!?! This is dinner hour in Europe….. impossible to participate! why not make others @ example 11pm utc (23h utc) I bet much more players!! This is only to who don’t have a life or a mom who makes dinner….

Yea this hours i can’t understand either!!!!!! Even 21 is much early! At least 10…. At least….

 

[SimApprentice21]

You are welcome to sign up for Race 2 only if you want to.

I thought about that too, but the reason I can't participate ist that I have already signed up for another race . It goes till 21utc. I would feel uncomfortable to join the race without practicing before so it wouldn't be a good Idea (and pretty reckless) but I stay in touch with new rfactor2 race announcements

Yeh we have people suggest this occasionally, but that time would be way too late for people with work commitments. I'm afraid it's simply not possible to not possible to provide racing that pleases everybody. If you'd like to race this evening there is always a 60s F3 (Spark vs Eve) on a certain !Fanatics Server which runs 24/7 and races are organised for every Saturday.

 

[sergiofcchaves]

I understand... but maybe sometimes can set races later i see again 20h i will try some day....

I know that people eat dinner at different times. But 20:00 UTC is 21:00 GMT+1 (CEST) and 22:00 EET. Moving it later means that racing will end way past midnight for Eastern Europe. Which isn't amazing either.
Not to mention, it would have to suit race hosts as well. Which is why we don't have US/Oceania timeslots.

The race-time is based on around 15 years of experience, and it does seem to be the timeslot that covers the largest amount of drivers.
