SERVER ANNOUNCEMENT:

Alright guys, just a final reminder, make sure that you get the updated version of the F3 car as it includes the new Dallara F317 car.
You can get it from here: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/rsr-formula-3.8040/

Also, you will need the track which you can download here:
https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/circuit-gilles-villeneuve-montréal-québec-canada.4439/

If you've never installed mods before, you can view a handy tutorial video here

Additionally, if this is your first club race, please read and review the racing club regulations:

Racing Club Regulations said:
What everybody in this community has in common is that they want to race in the cleanest possible way without the rammers, wreckers and poor attitudes found on public servers.

Events at RaceDepartment.com are therefore governed by our Premium Membership Agreement. The following rules are part of that agreement:

Golden Rule
If you hit another driver during a Club race and disadvantage them, you are required to slow (or stop your car if necessary) to let the other driver regain the position on you. This shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful. Please use some care when letting the other driver regain position, and do not immediately stop your car on the racing line where it can cause further accidents.

If it's reported and confirmed that you do not allow the driver you disadvantaged to regain their position by the end of that lap then you will receive an immediate 30 day ban from racing on RaceDepartment servers.

Additional Rules

We always use our real name in racing games, TeamSpeak and on the forum we have created a special user field in your profile to show your real name to other premium members. Click here if you don't know how to change your in-game name to your real name.

When you have signed up for an event we expect you to be there. If for any reason you can not make it you can sign out up until one hour prior to the practice session. Signing up means you are committed to finishing the entire race.

If you are involved in an accident, do not leave your car parked on the driving line where it can cause interference to other drivers or further accidents. Return to the pit box safely and repair your car to continue the race.

If you accidentally leave the track for whatever reason you must wait until there is a clear, safe gap before rejoining the track. Upon rejoining the track you must get up to speed as quickly as possible without blocking the racing line.

Never attempt U-turns on the racing line as you will cause an accident.

Do not alter your line or braking for a faster car behind you. Unpredictable moves have a way of ending the race for both of you. Let the faster car dictate when and where to initiate a pass, and only then assist by easing off of the throttle.

Do not deliberately cut the track. The white (or yellow) lines mark the edge of the road. Do not cross them with more than two wheels.

Try and discuss any incidents with the other drivers involved after the race in a friendly manner. If you feel stressed out by an accident then take 24 hours to calm down, review the replays of the incident and resolve it in a mature way via PM. Do not make angry posts about it on the forum. If you cannot resolve the problem then please contact the staff member whom organised your race via PM, sending them an incident report that follows the procedure outlined here.

Follow all safety rules as if you were in a real car on a real track; use the pit speed limiter in pit lane, observe all safety flags and lights, no donuts in the pit lane or on the track, no deliberate distraction of other drivers, etc.

During official race sessions (qualification & race) written chat is not allowed.

It's strictly forbidden to record and broadcast the real names of our members and/or TeamSpeak voice-chat via YouTube, Twitch and/or other media unless you have permission from all the drivers in the session to stream it.

Which games do we support?
We currently organise daily club races for the following racing games:

Assetto Corsa

Automobilista

F1 2017 The Game

DiRT Rally

Project Cars 2

RaceRoom Racing Experience

rFactor

rFactor 2

What is the difference between Club and League racing?
Club events are for casual racing only. It's not about the winning or losing but about having a good driving experience. This is the perfect environment for your daily races as there is no pressure involved. Fun is King.

Leagues races are more professional and points can be scored for the championship. There is also the pressure of running with some of the best drivers in the simracing community! This does not mean that you need to have alien speed to join our leagues. You will always find drivers of your level in every race.

(#)Set system of punishment for breach of rules (other than the Golden Rule) in club events.

1st offense: PM warning explaining the rule broken, and potential penalty for next infraction.

2nd offense: Two week racing ban.

3rd offense: 30 day racing ban.

4th offense: 1 year racing ban.

Finally, I will say enjoy the race this evening guys

I won't be around to host this evening but you're in good hands with @Bobby Pennington. Guaranteed 100% fun

I hope everyone has a good race and set some PBs and I'll catch some of you for the F1 race on Saturday

Just downloaded track/car, sign me up too!

What is steer assist in the car setup O.o ?

Celtic Pharaoh · Jun 6, 2018

Sorry guys, I think I know why it went down. I disabled loop mode which basically shuts the server down when all sessions are completed (practice, qualifying and the 2 races)
And if there aren't any drivers on the server at race time, I think it skips it. I'll change that setting now. Sorry for the mix up
