Rules:

We use some CRC Rules as guidelines. THESE ARE ONLY GUIDELINES but please try to follow them:


1. Incidents: If you hit another driver and gain a position advantage it is good sportsmanship to allow that driver to retake his position. We do not expect you to stop racing. Use your head, give some courtosy.

2. Defensive driving: Blocking is all part of a great race. You are allowed to block other drivers from passing you as long as:

(1) No deliberate contact is made

(2) the other driver is NOT beside you. If the driver is already beside you DO NOT force that driver off of the track.

3. Exiting pits: When exiting pits make sure that it is clear before you enter onto the racing line. Use of the track map and the look left & right keys/buttons is recommended. If cars are approaching, do NOT leave the pit lane unless you are fighting for position - Please do NOT cross the pit exit line when leaving the pits unless there is an obstruction that makes it impossible not to do so.

4. Re-entering track: If you go off the track in a race DO NOT reset the car or drive back onto the track. You could possibly ruin another race in progress. Again, you should use your map and look controls to see if anyone is coming. If you do re-enter the track safely but are too slow and drivers are getting closer behind you... drive off the racing line, or if necessary, pull off to the side of the track to give room.

5. Car Damage / Fuel: If your car gets severely damaged in an incident and you want to try and make it back to the pit lane, then, drive off the racing line to let faster cars past. If you run out of fuel get off the racing line as soon as possible or pit right away. We recommend that you turn your hazard lights on to let other players know you are a caution on the track (press 9 on your keyboard. 0 to turn them off).

6. Contact: Rubbing and tapping are all parts or everyday racing, so, this is allowed as long as it doesn't harm anyone's race or gain you an advantage. Due to occasional lag, small taps may cause a major crash, so be careful!

7. Race Rules: If you are being lapped by leaders please let them pass you, when it is safe do to so ( i.e. not in the middle of a chicane ), and as quickly as possible. You should be told by an on screen message if you are being lapped, the words “Blue Flag� will be displayed.

8. Pitting: Pitting can become dangerous if you do not pay attention. It is required that you drive in the 'pit lane' used to enter and exit the pits. Don't drive straight across every pit box, instead go to the furthest available pitbox. - This will allow more drivers to pit safely on the same lap(s)

9. Deliberate Corner Cutting: Deliberate Corner cutting is not liked. Please dont do it.


**NOTE: As this is not a CRC Event some of the above rules are flexible and are meant as guidelines only. We DO expect all participents to follow these guidelines as if the way you drove had consequences in real life.

If a driver who has entered the race is unable to attend on the day it is upto THAT DRIVER to find a replacement to drive for him and to let ATC Franky500 know about the change as soon as it is known. (e-mail: [email protected]). If the driver is unable to find a replacement then a reserve driver will be given the space.

All results and replays will be posted on the ATC Team website within 72 hours of the race. Please feel free to post your own race reports in a thread which will be provided on the day.

ok, i think it signed up. should be fun

Gonna have a Busy Day on Sunday,

Hope Racing Ends Early so i can get home For Quali,

Should do all Being well though,

Best get some Practice in,



Any one Got a Good Base Setup For hear?

Ive signed up but not been added yet, I am with Vain in the LFS GT league so we are plenty practised at this combination

Signed up

I'm in too

is the maximum number of people in the server going to be 23?

yes.. Max per server = 23

and so far 21 sign ups.

Quote from franky500 :

yes.. Max per server = 23

and so far 21 sign ups.

Hopefully a few more vMax guys will sign up, however I'm at the Test Match this weekend so I won't be able to make it.

Let me make it 22

im in!

i've been working on a setup. and i have gotten really close to what i think will do the trick
this should be fun hehehehehe

this is going to be my first league race ever.

i just did a practice versus the AI, im probably going to be using the Team Inferno set, but by taking care to look after the tyres I think I can do a 1 stop strategy, keeping my laps around 1:16 to 1:18. And I can stick to the same setup for qualifying. Looking forward to it, hope I can make it into the GP!!!

the inferno sets aren't really enduro sets but will probably last if you're really carefull with you're tyres, it's worth bearing in mind that however nicely you can treat you're tyres in practice, the race is an entierly different kettle of fish. a few of us found that out at KY_nat a few months ago, with rear tyres popping evrywhere!

Thanks to TheAfro i am now Alot Better,

Still got a Long way to go to be Anywhere Near the Fast Guys but i am Happy,

Cheers Afro

Cannot Wait for the Race now,

I'm guessing you liked the set then?

Sure Am,

Will be practicing see where i can improve (Most of the Track ) But just going to have some Good Fun,

in testing i was at a good pace and got 55 laps out of mine so i think i am ok for tyres in this on. it's best to test to distruction( and subtract 4 laps from total done), you get a better idea what they can do.

On Aston Club one of my tyres popped 6 laps too early. It did 65 laps three times in testing, and popped in lap 59 in the race (remember? lap 59 of 60, where I was on position 1 - ouch!).
So don't be too confident .

Vain

I'm in if there's still space available. Won't have time to work on a set so won't be that competitive.

Cheers Franky.
