All the Race Department stuff is donation-ware. I've donated to each of them. The only track I had to buy was Buttonwillow. Buttonwillow is a bit glitchy when there are multiple cars.....Last night I was racing one person on Buttonwillow and he disappeared from my rear view mirror and then all of a sudden he pops up out of nowhere in front of me!! hahahaha Anyway, PM me when you're setup and I'll give you details to join and we can test it out when you have time to sit in front of it.

Given the current state of everything, driving the East Coast tracks in May seems unlikely. So, we'll see what we can line up on the East Coast later in the year. We have a group of guys getting pc game rigs together for online driving. So, I think next week, we'll try our first race.

I've continued to receive cool images from photographers who were at the COTA SuperLap Battle event. I thought this one was particularly cool.
Thanks to IG: @bigman318 for this one!

Alright----let's file this one under----uh....is this is going to be a melee!? hahaha
Our first Assetto Corsa online race is tonight! If everyone shows up, we will have 11 cars racing at Laguna Seca. It's a spec race---all 11 cars are the same---BMW Z4 GT3 on Medium compound slicks. Format: Practice - 10 minutes. Qualifying - 10 minutes. Race - 10 laps. No traction or stability control allowed. Anyway, tonight is a test run. If we have fun, I may make a series out of it with something like 6 tracks and 12 races. Curious to see how it goes! Dang.....I better go practice....... hahahaha

It was lots of fun! Hadn't driven Laguna before (virtually or in real life) and it's surprisingly small and tight
I want to know who tried to steal my handle and called themselves 'DYT'... |

So, the our first race is complete. 11 cars raced. Actually, it ended up being two races. The way the server works, after a race is over, it just resets and starts the Practice/Qualify/Race cycle again. So, 10 of the 11 cars decided to stay and race a second race! (The 11th guy bowed out of race #2 because his VR headset was giving him problems.) I've never w-2-w raced before. The starts were a melee as I expected. I got spun in Turn 2.....haha Andrew Lim was crushing the lap times in qualifying. He won the first race. tsk94 won the second race. OG Shark captured 3rd both races! I got 5th the first race and 7th the second race. SQ13 took me down going into Turn 2---he braked super late into Turn 2 and then I don't know how he kept it on the track. Got in front of me and then ditched me! Man, I am not used to fighting for a turn! At one point, we were three wide going into Turn 9! That was new for me! hahaha Anyway, I enjoyed it and am willing to put a series together. Or we can just race one-off races once or twice a week. But regardless, I think we have a good way to pass the time here!

That was good fun. Big thanks for hosting and organizing the first event! The 'carnage' was minimal..ish.. but overall not bad, considering for a few people they haven't online raced before or are fairly new to sim driving.
I'd love to do a series, but even weekly one off style races where we all get together to drive would be fun. |

w2w is very tense for sure, blocking/drafting/outbraking and stealing the right line is always entertaining
You could replicate the AER format or another series to choose the racetracks. Or just go one by one for all the racetracks available in the game for the US/Canada |

I propose two classes: the "skilled" class and the "also ran" class. tsk94 and Andrew Lim would be the skilled class - those guys were miles ahead of the rest of us!!! Think we need to get their cars into impound after the races The rest of us can duke it out for the best of the rest also ran crown. Thoughts on going to the M3 GT2 in the spirit of this board? As a series or not - anything we do will be fun so I'm impartial to either. Maybe one night a week as a series and if anyone else has time for a second night then use that as pick up races. Wouldn't mind seeing some of the great tracks from around the world mixed in there as well.

I wouldn't be against going to the GT2, it's a bit more difficult to drive then the Z4 due to not having ABS - but we could always enable ABS to solve that. If we want to run something more similar pace wise to our E92 track cars, we could considering doing either the M235i Race car or the E30 DTM. Both of these would be much closer to the pace of our E92 cars but still keep it within the BMW family. Just some more options, I'm happy to go with whatever the majority prefer. |

I plan on doing at least 6 tracks, maybe more if we go outside the USA. Laguna Seca was first because it's built into the game so I knew everyone would have it, and a lot of people have at least driven that track before in a video game. This first race was simply about making sure everyone could get in and do it, and then seeing the experience. On the whole, I'd say most people were able to access it without problems. One guy had a network issue and got kicked off in the second race, but no one else reported any issues with the network, so I'm going to assume it was his internet. hehe that same someone got black flagged for not slowing down after cutting the course in the first race. Boom race over for him! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! Mwuhahahahahaha Regarding the M3 GT2, I don't see doing it. The one time I tried it, it felt so sluggish to me. If I'm going to go through the torture of driving a video game, I want the car to at least be responsive and fairly quick.

Haha, Oscar here.
That was pretty fun! Down for another round. For those that aren't familiar with W2W racing and etiquettes. Maybe sticky it in the discord so newcomers can have a read so we don't have T1 troubles heh. Practicing the switch back move is really satisfying when pulled off. We usually follow these rules for clean online racing and to prevent being sent to the shadow realm lol https://f1metrics.wordpress.com/2014...les-of-racing/

Didn't think the M3 GT2 was thattttt bad; yeah a little off pace from the Z4 but not terrible didn't think. Hopped on a bit last night and realized something - I had the toe backwards on both the front & rear... now you know why I always have Will with me when I'm on the track...
