Salzburgring

Austria's second permanent track nestles in the hills of the Salzkammergut, a short distance to the east of the city of Salzburg. It's one of the most beautiful settings for a race circuit, with the hillsides forming natural grandstands and providing an unusual top-down view on racing action.

A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.

Golden Rule

If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
You will be penalized if you break our rules

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

Thanks Gents! You are both in.

Practice server is up!

Alfred Wayne · Mar 30, 2023

Hate to pass on the Ginetta, but seeing as this is a rookies race, I'll take the first car I drove with the Sunday group back when I joined, 1 Maseratti please

Haven't raced it much since then, but with our recent GTE driving, I'm tempted to try it without ABS too... but I'll probably change my mind once I see some times on server

Thanks!

KFMaster · Mar 30, 2023

Hi Brian, I Would like to sign up, but where to download the track? Thanks, Dai

JamKart22 · Mar 30, 2023

LHD Ginetta please Brian. Again, happy to drop out if you're flooded with rookies

It is one of the most difficult non ABS braking experiences I've come across!

Thanks Colin. The track has 30 slots so we should be ok. I can split it into two race if it gets crazy!

It's an oldie that @640er suggested a long while back for group C racing. Maybe he will join us on his home turf!?

You might need to disable CSP's 'grass effects' if you are missing textures.

Hi Brian;
I'm in please. Never driven any of these cars, so let me try them out and I'll let you know which one I decide on.

Yes, I can drop out if you get a load of rookies signing up. Then again, I'm probably still in the rookie zone myself!

Thanks!

KFMaster · Mar 31, 2023
