It's taken a lot of work to get this series setup so if you spot any mistakes please drop me a PM cheers

 

[Douglas Aird]

If someone wanted to do one or two of the races rather than the series, would that be possible?

Also, would the warmup event be open for everyone?

 

[SwannyUK]

Yep, you can enter as many of the races as you like. That's the beauty of a series, you can join single events and treat them like our usual sprint races (all be it 15mins longer with a pit stop) or you can do the whole series

The warm up event is open to all premium members as usual - no points scored on that one.

 

[Peppelino]

No words about it, above ...
But it looks like Spa ?

 

[SwannyUK]

The screenshot? Yep that's Spa

 

[Peppelino]

The audience says, Thank you

 

[SwannyUK]

Before I forget - you can check the in game time of day settings in the Event Configuration page on SGP. You can then see if the race will be in the daytime, evening or transitioning in to dark. Quali, practice and the race are all set to Sunday to offer better grip through all sessions.

Thanks Chris. This looks like it will be great fun.

I'm in. Not sure what car yet as I have only really tried the Aston for the last race. I will sign up with that for now but test some others.

 

[SwannyUK]

Looking forward to seeing you on track Tim. Your pace at Bathurst was awesome.

Thanks Chris, likewise. I struggled to feel confidence in ACC at first and finding the limit of grip was a slightly different feeling to what I am used to in AC but it started to click after a couple of hours practicing.

I managed to get away with only a bit of paint damage at Bathurst but I had several hail mary moments though esses and the dipper!

I think we all had at least 1 code brown!

 

[Andrew Sebastian]

Awesome work Chris.

 

[SwannyUK]

Awesome work Chris.

Cheers dude. I'm going to try and finally get to grips with the Porsche this series!

 

[SwannyUK]

By the way, you guys are free to pick different cars throughout the series if you like.

 

[Andrew Sebastian]

Cheers dude. I'm going to try and finally get to grips with the Porsche this series!

I might stick with the Audi, will decide after the Silverstone race. It’s going to be a big change not being able to rattle over kerbs……might make my driving more precise though!

 

[Smidgey]

Enjoying ACC too much not to join in for this.

Looking forward to cruising around at the back a few seconds off the pace

I'm new to ACC so I will be there with you.

Please do spread the word if you are a member of other forums or have people you sometimes race with that might be interested. The more that enter the more chance there is of everyone having someone to race

If anyone needs any additional info or help just shout. I think the main thing with these races are:

• Get in some practice beforehand where possible, aim for 27.5-28psi pressures
• Get at least 2 or 3 practice pit stops done because missing the box can really lose you some time
• Get your pit strategy sorted
• Make sure you have keys / buttons assigned for things like headlights and the MFD so you can tweak tyre pressures for the pit stop if needed.

For the pit stops themselves it's mandatory to change tyres. Whilst that is being done the car can have fuel added without losing any time so probably best to start on half of what you would need for the full race then top up the other half in your stop.

Had a bit of a shakedown session in the Porsche this evening - love how this car sounds!
