AC Racing Club Ideas

Bram Hengeveld · Apr 28, 2014

In this thread you can spit your ideas for the AC Racing Club.

Want a special event to be organised?
Are we systematically overlooking cars or tracks?
You wish to organize a race for the "wifes/men of RD" and hook up your partner with other community partners?
Something else? Spit it out here

I'd love to have some races on Laguna Seca! And some Huayra fun

Sorry to ask here but didn't want to open a new thread just for this.
Are there less races now? No Monday and Tuesday anymore or just this week?

One more idea for the GT2/GT3 class. Consider adding the Evora GX in the mix too. It may be slower but it is still capable of doing impressive laptimes. It handles very well too!

It is closer to gt3 spec in terms of lap times?

Andreas Knöpke · May 20, 2014

I think he meant the GTC as thats the quicker car, not the GX.

Akis · May 20, 2014

The GX may be somewhat slower than the GTC in a hotlap but I think that it has better tires for 20 lap races. I'll check it out.

The tires of both cars are not really final yet.

Aris got some confusing data from Lotus and was asking for user help just last week.

Franklin Stegink · May 20, 2014

I love races with the GT2, GT3 and the Formula Abarth.

Sorry, this should be no complaint at all...was just a question ;-)

...and i know quite a bit about irl stuff limiting time

Can you post the link? I may have some useful data regarding this issue.

More F1 type races - the faster the better.

That actually goes for all games. Formula Reiza has been way too scarce.

Bram Hengeveld · May 21, 2014

As with all games F1 in club races ends 90% of the time in the first corner as people are either a) not skilled enough to drive a F1 car b) don't practice causing point a.

I doubt youlll see many F1 type races in the club for this reason. Hence we are working on a league with rigid requirements so we can assure only those that can actually drive an F1 car will be able to

That'll be great

FSR is a lot of fun, but a less serious environment where everybody feels like friends, is also necessary for me.

Kevin Leu · May 21, 2014

Not an idea but a suggestion, is it really necessary to turn on the 5s penalty system in club racing? I think we're all mature enough to adhere to simple racing rules (2 wheels on track), especially with the system being pretty stupid right now. If you do a mistake you get double the punishment, you lose time because of the mistake and you lose time with the 5s penalty. You also turn into a hazard for anybody behind you because you slow down without warning.

I get that it may be a problem in neuralgic points like the monza chicanes, but we managed to get clean and fair racing done in sims that had no penalty system so why would we need it here?

I fully agree, had several rage-quits because of driving mistakes in combination with 5 second penalty...
