AMS2 MINI Challenge @ Cascavel - Friday January 27, 2023

[Bram Hengeveld]

My goodness that has been a while but it's back: The (in)famous MINI Friday returns to the RD Racing Club.

Previously hosted for years with iconic sims such a RACE The WTCC Game, RACE 07, GTR Evolution, Game Stock Car, Stock Car Extreme and Automobilista 1 it's now the time for Automobilista 2 to take over one of the oldest types of racing club events done on RaceDepartment.

Open to both beginner and more experience simracers the easy going MINI John Cooper Works is one of the coolest cars to race online with a full field of opponents.

Are you new to simracing and want to race with more experienced simracers who will show you the ropes and help you as much as they can during a casual fun online event, don't miss out and sign up today! Experienced drivers, seasoned veterans, are of course very much welcome as always!

You will not get any faster or skilled by not racing online, you will only get faster with online practice and resistance with other real drivers surrounding you. Especially when these drivers are your friendly fellow community members who are happy to assist you with driving tips, techniques or even setups. Simply join us on Discord during the event and chat away. We don't bite, I promise

Do you want to become a better pilot, take your chance now and start your online sim racing career here on RD with the amazing MINI Cooper JCW and sign up in the comments below.

[Steve Le Gallez]

I'm in please @ Bramski

 

[Monkified]

hi all is this a fixed setup race and will we have to have a pit strategy or does it just refil and change tyres auto when we enter the pits?

 

[F2020]

Just put some nice practice in trying to keep up with Mr Hengeveld's ghost, i feel like i might be the backmarker on Friday lol.

 

[BP]

@Stephen Gibb @Jopamir @BP @Ernie @Kresh ?

Thanks for tagging me Bram it's been a minute! Unfortunately I'm working during those hours (3pm over here)...not to mention I haven't fired up AMS 2 in forever (been doing mostly iRacing for the past 2 years), but I would've definitely come back for this!

Good luck and have fun everyone!

 

[Frank]

@Bram Hengeveld Won't make it in time, at the office till too late sadly. But you've got a healthy grid

 

[Yannik Haustein]

@Yannik Haustein up for some MINI Racing?

Sounds like fun! That's date night with future Mrs. evil.hEiNz though, so I won't be able to make it.

 

[Stephen Gibb]

@Stephen Gibb @Jopamir @BP @Ernie @Kresh ?

Yes sign me should be fun, thanks.

Fixed setups is something we will do soon when the game is properly supporting it. For now it are open setups but there isn't much to tweak on the MINI

If you wish to pit for fuel or tyres that is fully optional for this race.

Wow Theo! Nice to you see in a MINI

 

[Smidgey]

Can I be put down as a maybe? Gotta do some errands after work but hoping to be home in time.

 

[Paul Glover]

@Paul Glover do you race MINI's still?

Never really raced them that I can recall, Friday's sadly don't work for me at the moment.

Have fun on track.

 

[The Almighty Snark]

I remember when we did this track last year in the Formula Trainers, that was such a tight fun race. Looking forward to much the same if the AI is any indication.

 

[Reefabus]

Is this yellow legal? I heared it makes the car go 0.0538 sec faster.

 

[Boukâh]

Hi Bram, can I join the grid? (Rookie trying to learn as much as possible).

Praticed on this server a couple of times last week, but couldn’t enter it anymore this afternoon - did some ai racing on this track instead, quite some fun!).
