A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you have to check to 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. Do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by. 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.

Golden Rule

If you hit somebody off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak & server. Not doing so WILL result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

You've tagged me in white text or something you sneak.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm gonna give the Beamer a go if I may please mate.
I'll defo stay for the race this time.

No idea where the white text came from buddy! Have you tried the new Primera yet? It is awesome, will be close I think!

Edit: You put the first event on with this BTCC Bimmer Denis, so dig yer setups out

These really are two amazing mods Han, I have a feeling these two are going to be track dependent, very different strengths and weaknesses

It tells me I'm tagged... but I don't see a tag????

Kek700 · Sep 10, 2020

Nissan please John @Medilloni . I’ve had two of these in the past , cannot remember what they were called , something like EGT I think. Great cars they were too.

You're in matey - and that's a story you HAVE to tell us!

640er · Sep 11, 2020

Can I have both cars? They are both amazing

Luca Badin · Sep 11, 2020

Hi John, please sign me in with the Nissan.

First time I take place in these Wednesday events but I couldn't pass up. When I was little my family owned a Primera - sold it about ten years ago, it was a great car and I'm pretty bummed I didn't get to drive it. So hopefully I'll be able to relive some great memories

stribbeck · Sep 11, 2020

Yes please John took part in the simracing.gp one Monday and managed to get my first win

BMW please

Kek700 · Sep 11, 2020

The eGT was the sporting version, with a 2.0 litre 150 bhp (112 kW; 152 PS) engine.

1991 to 1995 I think.

I can't decide either Andreas! I've put you down as TBD for now

Good to see you Luca - I was stunned at how good this version is compared to the first one (and that was good)

That's good to hear, I tried the first version and I liked it a lot, but the force feedback was so off - light and jittery, if it makes sense. Can't wait to try the new one!

It was very light on acceleration if I remember correctly Luca, and this is a bit light though, as you'd expect with front wheel drive - though as soon as you've got weight at the front, that's where it feels better imo. Only did a few laps but looks like it might take some work to get some heat into the rears
