I can't understand, that they mention Racedepartment for mod downloads to the Race series, but they still forget that our racing club has thousands of races and leagues for the game!

 

[Kevin Watts]

They are sponsored by Simraceway, enough said

How in the world does the Race 07 series score lower than Dirt on a "Sim" index? *scratches head*

 

[Anders Madsen]

and also they say Rce series have a very small community, when posting in the video thread on youtube that, RD offers loads of races for races series, comment gets deleted.

its a nice show, but when reading around they get alot of fatcs wrong.

With so much expectation beforehand, Round 1 was a tense, hard-fought battle... Prepare for a sizzling Round 2, broadcasted live via PSR TV this Saturday at 18:00 GMT on the RaceDepartment Forum.

The desert surrounding Abu Dhabi's track is ready to cook the drivers, melt the rubbers, and push the machines to the limits. Built by the French designer of Paul Ricard HTTT, this new Formula 1 venue with two long straights and lots of turns gives opportunities to pass but plenty more to make mistakes and go wide under pressure.

Whoever manages to survive tire wear in the scorching heat, and handle the pressure through 55 laps to run a mistake-free race will have a good shot at the gold.

Live on PsrTV for the first time this season, The contenders for the Division 1 World series title will have to be at the top of their game. Arno Hoog will aim to keep the momentum of his season-opener win in Brazil, but will he be able to hold off once again his teammate and last season's champ, Ventis Didrihson? Will David Guehennec reiterate his strong quali performance and capitalize on it in the race?

Only one way to know...

See you at Yas Marina Circuit!

Once again, thanks to PSRtv, you will be able to catch live coverage of the RaceDepartment V8 Supercar Championship, this time from Oran Park on Wednesday 10th March, from around 2030 GMT.

We are three races down, and have a very close battle for the title. Oran Park will be the penultimate sprint race, with Pukekohe hosted the final sprint next week. Phillip Island hosts an extended night race at the end of the month, while Bathurst will hold the final round of the season in mid-April.

Oran Park is a technical, challenging and unpredictable track - can Gregory Degreef make it three in a row. Or will Ben Crooks break through, having come so close at Surfer's? Perhaps Simian will bounce back, or maybe the Triple Eight boys will get on top of the winner's podium.

Simon Smith will once again be your host, with Xose Estrada working behind the scenes.
