[Keith_G]

I can always use the practice and the knowledge so add me to the list if it doesn't fill up by Monday afternoon. I've done one so leave it open for others until the last minute. Thanks, Keith

I'll put you on the list. You weren't in the last one we did, so you qualify to be in this one

Are there any plans to make these classes available online as some sort of video series or perhaps just as a VOD? I can't be there for the next one but I'd love to be able to see what goes on if I can catch a replay or something.

 

[Dave Slee]

I've taken this session about 6 months ago so you can take my name off the list to let someone who hasn't had the chance to take it.
Enjoy

You don't have to sign out Dave. As long as you weren't in the last one, you're eligible for this one. I'm going to leave you in the class unless you tell me otherwise

We're not planning on making a video of the class. Becoming premium member is the only way to join the class. We have lot of fun during the races. You should consider it

Thanks for signing me up @Bobby Pennington but sorry to say i will have to pull out of this one. I have to take care of the Gran daughter tomorrow night so I won't be able to make it. I will race with you guys on Tuesday. Glad to say the @Celtic Pharaoh gave me a great private lesson tonight so I will be ready to race! You guys are all great at sharing and helping so enjoy the driving although I won't be there to share it with you. Hope your back is feeling better!

A setup I worked on earlier tonight that might be of some use for this tomorrow if you wish to try it.
It can be found in the setup section of the Assetto Corsa forum here: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/bmw-m235i-silverstone-international.149709/

That's exactly what makes this little club of hooligans so great around here!
See you on the track soon Keith!

Thanks Tariq, I will have to give this a spin before the event ;-)

Can't be there at that time, if the schedule changes for the next one I will most likely join.

 

[Isaac Chavira]

When you say 'Advaned' do you mean it's not for rookies like me? I'd like to join but as many of you know I am always a 'back marker' and I wish no longer to be.

If I can join I'll be there with bells on.

Then you better get your bells on son, you are signed up

 

[Dennis Phelan]

I'll take a spot.

 

[raptor1958]

reserve please

 

[Bobby Pennington]

reserve please

You've got it

 

[Bobby Pennington]

Drivers, please make sure that you've read the 2nd and 3rd post of this thread, you have your real name in teamspeak and in game. We will give you guys the password to get into tonights Academy when we join ts which is usually around 15 minutes before the Academy starts. In the meantime, Jeremy and I are stuffing our faces with food while we have a chance

 

[Isaac Chavira]

Damn it Bobby!

Just give it to Raptor. I forgot I made a 'Daddy Promise' to my baby boy to play Titanfall 2 with him when he gets home from school in about 30min. I feel so dumb!

Thanks for the heads up Isaac. I'm sure @raptor1958 will be happy to know he's in. See you soon buddy

I just wanted to thank Bobby, Jeremy, Tariq and all attendants for a great time today!
I attended the academy for the first time, going into it with curiosity and an open mind and sure as promised I left it with some knowledge to work on and hopefully to improve my racing.

I can only advice anyone to consider doing one of these.
A lot of work goes into the preparation of these, the event is done highly professional with good and clear instructions. There is time taken for everyone during the event and I cannot imagine anyone attending one of these not learning something in the process.

In all honesty - after having seen what the guys are doing I am convinced that attending the academy here should be made mandatory for any premium member before hitting the race tracks in the club events. There is good knowledge to be learned, great advice given regarding race craft special care taken on complete beginners to get up to speed and even a little bit of a short race included to immediately unleash the skills immediately ;-)

You guys should do this for a living

Now it's about time to rotate your son to Assetto Corsa then ;-)
