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.

You got it Eric

Hope we get a few more. Maybe I've picked the wrong car

I'm in.

It's a fun car, but I'm finding the setup a bit confusing on this one. Doesn't always respond the way I expect it to.

Got'cha. If you like, I should be able to get to practice 30-60mins before official practice starts and I'll try and help you. Just let me know.

Hey Bobby, I'm afraid the date change has caught me out. I'll have to catch you another time. Sorry, Thanks.

I was afraid it might throw a few people off. Thanks for letting me know. We'll catch you hopefully sometime this week.

It is done my man

Hey Convict @Andrew Scott this is the Chancer @Bobby Pennington here. I've watched the movie The Hunt For Red October like a bazillion times and as soon as I saw Ivan's name a few weeks ago.....well you know where this is going........"Crazy Ivan" has been born

What do you think?

Ivan, sorry buddy, but you will get no say in this as it's all in good humor. We have so many nicknames in the US club that it will make your head swim. Here's some examples:

The man that got it all started -The Birdman @Allan Ramsbottom , Mr. Interior Minister @#SPMedia , The Gambler @MTBR2001 , Krazy German @Dirk Steffen , Mr. Ambassador and resident

@Leprekaun , Widebody @Brandon Wright , Hot Lips @Brewer , Wiz and another resident

@Wiz, Dirt Dog (Pickle Farmer) @raptor1958 , Cheeta (cheater because he uses VR

) @singletonself and many many more. Some of us have stories, but the one thing we don't have is a choice in what we get labeled with. The more you fight it the more they double down

Now I'm called all kinds of crap

Welcome to club Hooligan where we take ourselves seriously

and the racing gets in the way
