A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

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. You will get 3 warnings before a drive through penalty for exceeding track limits to your advantage. Any warnings/penalties are displayed in the chat window at the end of each lap

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord and in game. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify who you are.

It warms the cockles of my old heart to see no chicane sh*t for this race.
I may struggle with the ginetta, but to have no chicane will make this race for me.
PS
I am 77 years old tomorrow

Yes I know I drive like an old lady.

 

[Interslice]

Happy Birthday Ernie!!

 

[Shed 17]

The moto layout is so much better than the carpark they put in at the end of the lap.
Many happy returns Ernie!

Belated Happy Birthday, Ernie. You make me feel quite young, even though I turned 57 in December and started to seriously consider what age I want to retire at. 2025 could be the year, then I can spend a lot more time practicing and racing.

@Interslice Brian, I see the race is set to 50 minutes but I thought that was just for the last race and we would return to 1 hour.

No problem either way but just thought I would check.

Going for 50 minutes for this one. Pitstop between 10 and 40.
One suitable for beginners/new drivers.

Oh, I was thinking it's part of the GT championship but it's not. I had better sign up, then!

Edit - I don't see my name on the entrants list but when I try to register it says I am already signed up.

@interlice can you check for me, please?

 

[Interslice]

@Alfred Wayne @H_Belane
FYi
You are both in a RHD.

I will make LHD the default in future

That is odd. I don't get that message even though I am signed up! Don't see you there.

Have signed you manually. You should able to hit register again now in a livery of your choice or LHD/RHD.
