Road Atlanta

Road Atlanta, located in Braselton, Georgia, is home to the famed Petit Le Mans, a 10-hour, 1,000-mile event that has annually drawn the biggest names and cars in sportscar racing. That such an event should find a home deep in stockcar racing's heartland is perhaps a surprise, but Road Atlanta...

A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Do not just keep the throttle pinned and pull back on track.
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.

Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. 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

1. 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 Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• General video guide to multiclass racing - Click here
• It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake slower cars. When a faster car is overtaking a slower car (a car in a different class), whether a blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not, the slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so.
• If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class, the normal gentleman's rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake, usually a slight lift at the start of a straight. Please be sensible.
• Separate qualification runs will happen for GT3 and GT4 classes. First 10 minutes for GT3, second 10 minutes for GT4. GT4 cars must not exit the pits before 10 minutes have elapsed. GT3 must not start a lap after 10 minutes have elapsed. You may be kicked from the server by race control if you ignore this rule.
• All other Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
• Discord is highly recommended for all club races.

Ooh Road Atlanta, what a treat!

 

[Interslice]

Practice Server #12 is up!

 

[Interslice]

How is the new track. Better than the old one? Does it cook the tires more or less!?

 

[The Almighty Snark]

It's definitely better then the old one! It's a hoot to drive on though it does require some new recognition of the braking points.

So far the 911 Mediums seem to get up to temp nicely. Perhaps this will be the track for it to shine brightly?

 

[random2k4]

I had some races on the new version already, I find it better to drive.
It is a little more stressful on softs on the BMW, but when you can keep your line its OK. Once you slide a little your tires are toast. But thats also the nature of softs I guess.

 

[Interslice]

I could just about run the softs here in the ferrari last time. Required a different race line here and there to the quali approach. Hope it can still be done!

 

[The Almighty Snark]

I've switched to GT4, a high turnout for GT3 this week so I suspect having a few more GT4 won't hurt anyone and the Ginetta was a blast last time I raced with it

Same here. Ginny should be fun on this track.

It's definitely a blast, managed to do some solid times by reducing rear wing which helps on getting up to speed on the straights though it does make the car a lot more lively when you are trying to overtake

Ye I've only raced it twice now, but dropped the wing to 2 or 3. It has plenty of grip.

(sticks elbows out) Nice to have more gt4 drivers

Fun track for this car. Takes all the kerbs you can throw at it and asks for seconds

 

[Chris Down]

I remember in the old version of Road Atlanta people generally agreed that the wide kerb at the exit of the esses is not really a kerb and is legal for use on the basis that anything that wide isn't really a kerb. Still true for the new version, right? Just want to make sure I know which line to practice later today

If you go off too far you do get a track limit warning in AC so that ought to limit the cheekiness a little

Not sure what official limits we follow today

 

[Cosimo]

Sign me up please. Not sure I will be able to make it 100% yet, but I'll post an update here.

That's weird, I get nothing even going up to the gravel.
