Please note that this mod is still in development and is not yet fully optimised. I've tested with 15 opponents and my system runs smoothly with my usual settings, but some drivers might have to experiment with lower settings such as reflections/shadows/AA etc.

SROUK proudly presents a series of weekly fun races using a variety of track/car combos in Assetto Corsa early access. There will be no moderation of events or official posting of results but drivers are of course encouraged to uphold our usual standards of excellent driving to ensure maximum enjoyment for all.

Have fun

Nice choice  funny enough I watched a vid of these cars at the nordschleiffe over on no grip the other day and the car looked brutal fun.

Not that i'm cautious or anything but is there any 'providence' to this mod or is it something a 9-year old knocked up with dodgy car physics? Or somthing like that

It's a fun car to drive and it seems to be in the ballpark of what you'd expect physics wise, but I've not had time to properly compare it with my Zakka in the garage 

Have I ever chosen a duff car for you fellas (rhetorical question)?

Thanks, downloading the car.

Have you guys also tried the old style mini ? slow controlled fun

I thought the Ginetta cup series mod looks worth a punt too, could make a good one make series or be good competition for some of the Lotus cars.

It was either the Zak or Ginetta for this week. Like the Zak, I believe the Ginetta still needs to be optimised but agree would be a strong contender for a series once this is done. We'll try it after the holidays

I think slow is the key word here. I've had 4 minis including a couple of 1275GTs and even my '67 850 seemed quicker than this  Not sure why they chose to create this particular model when they could have chosen a racing Cooper 

Talking of Leyland, a beta version of their racing Jag has just been released. Had a quick drive earlier and it's not bad.

2:09 for me so far in the Escort with 30L fuel and med slicks. Car moves about nicely and I liked having to correct steering mid corners when it gets lairy

[Sutol]

Keep on thinking of Kryton out of Red Dwarf when I look at these cars 

[Spawnofsig]

Hi guys, hoping to make this race for my second race as my continental shift pattern has finally come round to be free on Wed again.

Hope i make less of a fool this time, lets just say my nickname is just a little tongue in cheek . Looking at the 2.09 i might be way back, still trying to break the 2.12's 

[Johnny X]

Sorry, won't be around for this one.

Merry Xmas all 

[Sutol]

have a good one

[picnic]

Sorry I can't make this either! Booking therefore will start early again.

[Truetom]

Might join, just don't turn AC into some GTL mod.
So far so good, GT.

[Mark J]

you have to join TT, there is even a car in our team colours!    Hopefully I am good to attend this eve.
