[Bram Hengeveld]

MINI FRIDAY'S ARE BACK ON RACEDEPARTMENT

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.

So Bram, planning on doing more night racing with the mini?

Multiple times a week you mean?

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Multiple times a week you mean?

That's all I needed to know! Though Silverstone probably has track lights illuminating the way

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I asked a question But sorry I get what you mean now. No, no more night racing until the MINI has headlights

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Though Silverstone probably has track lights illuminating the way

Not tested this, you? How good is the view in pitch dark?

 

[The Almighty Snark]

@Eckhart von Glan when will we see you again in a MINI?

golden memories. but: too little time, too many games. Theses days I'm down to playing twice a week for an hour, one iRacing stint, one ACC league, never even bought AMS, AMS2 neither. I will never forget our original SimBinRace MIni league, the only league I ever led a race, 1.5 laps at Nürburgring Nords, that great Mod someone did.

So nice of you to respond
I also remember racing with you in the SimBinRace Mini league and other RaceDepartment leagues around 2006 2007.

Roaring Pipes Maniacs!

 

[Lucas Degen]

I've been working on my Mini skin last 24 hours. Put the logo of my F1 Podcast RaceReporter on it.
What do you think? I'm not 100% happy with it, some small tweaks to make.

I would love to see your skin and maybe we can have an Mini Skin Pack for our Fridaynight Club races?
