A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you have to check and see that its clear before you re-enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.
When entering the track from the pits stay off the racing line until you are up to speed and do not race on your out lap. Let other drivers by in qualifying.
On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car. Remember, you've made the mistake by going off so let them by cleanly.

Golden Rule

Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.
You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Definitely one of my least favorite tracks in sim-racing, but please count me in anyway, Denis. This will be a contest of set-ups which are not my forte (but then neither is racing, in general.

I will post my setup later.
210 mph around the banking should keep you awake. The car has foibles but can be tamed a bit with setup. If we all get to know and like the car, I may use it again at another.... more conventional track. But make no mistake, you have to try this combo - it's nuts.

Stock set up only gets to 164mph for me, so I'm looking forward to your set up.

Denis Betty · Mar 21, 2020

Aw nuts, that's because I was using the wrong car.
Hang on, track change needed.

Ok try this.
You may wanna have clean underwear at the ready.

Thanks Denis! Better yet - I'll go "commando"!

YES! From Brianza (Monza) - not one of my favorites - to Road America - one of my favorites.

So, Is that earlier set up valid for RA?

Nope, it's for a totally different car.
We used this car at Sao Paulo2 years ago.
Hang on.

Here's what I have for Sao Paulo, but I have no idea if it's any use.

I would also like you to participate.
However, the rules state that before I am allowed to sign you up, you must be a Premium member. Details on purchasing Premium membership are linked in the opening post of this thread. I really hope that you'll decide to go Premium and join our little racing club.
Please bear in mind though, that this is an English speaking site. We are not allowed to post in other languages on RD. Sorry if this is not convenient for you, but the rule is a necessary one I think.

@Victor Jimenez would you be able to translate what I've posted for TitomakY via PM please?
Thanks buddy.

I did quick check of track / car combination and have to admit - it's soo good to drive that car. It is hi-powered turbo monster with unique interior and good sounds, especially tire scrubbing is very detailed and informative. From what I've noticed - that car needs a bit of setup, so thanks @Denis Betty for sharing setup from the previous race. The bigger the grid will be for that race the better fun we'll have.
