AC Formula 3 @ Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (Montreal) - Wed 06Jun18

[Celtic Pharaoh]

Canada, eh? This week we'll be taking the Formula 3s across the Atlantic and going to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Named in honour of the great Ferrari driver, it may be one of the simplest tracks on the F1 calendar but also one of the fastest. Track knowledge will play a big part in the middle sector and dictate maximising entry speed, compromising exit or compromising entry to maximise exit.

I am also pleased to announce that we will be using RSR's new F3 car, the Dallara F317, for this event and future events. Please make sure to say thanks to @Andrea Lojelo and the RSR team for their amazing work in making these cars. For without these cars, we would not have the great, close racing we've been having.

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

1. 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.
2. Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. 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.

To any one checking the events and considering wether or not signing up for this one:

This car and track is a blaaaaaaast. Not only that , but considering turns 1-2-3-4 , it's impossible to enjoy on a public server. It even has that last turn you have to hit the wall on if you wanna be a F1 World Champion

On top of that , the quality of the modded content is pretty awesome. I couldn't have told it's a modded track if I didn't know which track AC has beforehand.

Sure thing guys. Welcome aboard!

I'll look into the server Oscar and see. It should work as it hasn't been updated in a long time as far as I know but I'll check sure.

 

[Craig Dunkley]

@Celtic Pharaoh There must be something wrong with the practice server settings?

 

[Celtic Pharaoh]

Okay, sorry guys, I had selected the wrong version of Montreal as I had 2 different versions. It should work now.

@Buster make sure you to download the new updated car that I linked in my original post. We're using the new F317 car and not the old F312 one.
