Read more about Club Racing Concept, THERE.

To start it off as we should, what better car than the Hachi-Roku ?
So, how about throwing it around Spa, an interesting combo that needs both smoothness and technique.

Week's combo:
TRACK: Spa
CAR: Toyota GT86
RACE Sunday 30/aug, 18:00 GMT
PENALITIES: ON (3 tyres out allowed)
FUEL RATE: 1x
TYRE WEAR RATE: 1x


RACE FORMAT:

Quali1 9 min
Race1 20 min(ish)

Quali2 9 min
Race2 20 min(ish)

Rinse and repeat while fun lasts .


SERVER : ASSETTOCORSAMODS.net CLUB

During the week, the server is free to join, so you can practice as long as you wish .

At race hour server will be password-ed ONLY IF discipline becomes an issue (it wasn't the case until now, on the contrary). So, in case you see a password, it will be the week's pass: entryticket

woohoo ! were back for some racing time.

 

[assettocorsamods]

Yes, we are ! - only a small glitch in the date . This one's for august 30th.
But there will be others sooner. More details shortly (ish). @ihlades

Yay! The 86 is a wonderful car to have close races in. Not really a pulse-raising car, but since it's so easy to toss around everyone seems to be fast in it - I mean her!, I love her; that's why we'll have lots of close racing.

Can't wait!

when is the server going live exactly. I thought it always was but I cant find it.

This weekend (most probably on Sunday)

 

[luchian]

So, who's showing up today ?

 

[ihlades]

I am.

 

[luchian]

I think you should be able to "vote" for the presence at the top of the thread ? Can you confirm please ? Or is there a "rights" issue ?

 

[ihlades]

Worked just fine.

 

[luchian]

For those of you here, planning to race, could you please make the intention known ?
It will help opening a thread on the official AC forum, which would mean more presence, and then the circle continues .

Thank you in advance.

it is holiday weekend here. I have dinner booked at 5 (6 your time) with my cousin and kid so I do hope to be back in time. didn't know of this presence thing till today.

 

[Pixelchaser]

so GMT is 13:48 right now and im on 14:48 being summer time. this means the race is at 6 gmt which means 5 for me this is unexpected, when I agreed to go out yesterday I thought it was fine but it is not. it also seems that you Luchian and Fernando are now on GMT time. even though it was native to the meridian line in the UK. when did this all change because its nonsense !



confused beyond confusion I am.

the UK is on GMT+1 and france, Holland , western Europe is on GMT+2 so....

7 oclock my time ? and 8 oclock for france Holland.

I can still hear the theme tune for 2001: a Space Odyssey playing in the background as your registered for a forum.

[luchian]

In any case no worry, have fun whatever you do .

PS: didn't your other replies . Nvm.

some intense racing. really good tbh. sorry for loosing my head but when you have to watch people deliberately take others out on main straight, its kinda hard not to react. I tapped someone too, but let them regain position as they saved it. I also find taking the initiative when its 3 wide into a turn is best, just let them have it. that way you can continue to drive at least. Its quite pain full being last every time but 4th in position too. why folks cant just keep going ill never know.

 

[luchian]

It was actually a very decent turnout; we need to work on dicipline tho.
Minorating is not yet supported by our server hoster, but will be in the future when the solution matures a bit.

I've had and seen some good racing..

..some bold manoevers ..

..until this happened..

..aaand I've also seen AND did some bad racing..

Sorry about this @Polychaser

See you next time.
Wonder what will it be.. @ihlades .

 

[ihlades]

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? RWD. Faster than the 86 but nothing extreme. Keep it fun while being challenging!

P.S.: I've always liked the screenshots you post, @luchian.
