Driver lists can be found on the championship standings pageWelcome to Round 1 of UKAC's first DTM season - this round will feature the first 2 races of the championship. As this is the 1st round no-one will be running with success ballast, so may the best driver win! Oschersleben is fairly new, having only opened in 1997, and features a fairy flat circuit with only slight elevation changes. Turn 1 (as per most German circuits for some reason) is the biggest danger zone - to quote John Cleland: "The guy who designed this first corner should be taken into a dark room and beat about the head". When joining the server please ensure you select the correct car. Password: see abovePractice: 19:30 (45 mins) Qual: 20:15 (15 mins) Race: 20:30 (2x 15 lap races) Cars allowed: Alfa 155 (+11Kg ballast, 10% (-42Hp) restrictor) BMW M3 DTM (no handicap) Ford Sierra R500 V3.03 (+20Kg Ballast, 45% restrictor (turbos don't respond the same as N/A before you ask!) https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ford-sierra-cosworth-rs500-pack.24027/Mercedes 190E DTM (+6Kg ballast, 1% (-6.3Hp) restrictor). Track: Oscherleben GP https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/oschersleben.25926/The first lap of each race will be moderated as far as the McDonalds chicane - any incidents that require moderation beyond that point will require a report to be raised in the normal fashion.

One week to go guys - Practice server is now up! 2 things worth mentioning: 1. If you have Content Manager/Shaders Patch and everything seems massively over-exposed or grey regardless of weather settings then this can be fixed by editing the following file; *your steam directory*\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\tracks\tmm_oschersleben\extension\ext_config.ini open this in notepad/wordpad and delete the following lines from near the top of the file: [INCLUDE] INCLUDE = common/conditions.ini
[BASIC] SUPPORTS_WIND = 1
[WIND] DYNAMIC_FLAGS = flag_pirelli_03, flag_adac_15, flag_certina_03, flag_kaercher_01
[LIGHTING] SPECULAR_MULT=0.0 LIT_MULT=1.0 CAR_LIGHTS_LIT_MULT=1.0
[LIGHT_POLLUTION] RELATIVE_POSITION=-0.55, 0.050, 0.007 DENSITY=20 RADIUS_KM=1.2 COLOR=0.95,0.9,0.9,100 CONDITION=NIGHT_SMOOTH You should be left with a file structure that starts with the [ABOUT] section and then has [MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_0] and the remainder of the info. When you re-load the track you should now have working sky/weather/shadows (make a backup to be safe but this worked for me) 2. I was bored and made some extra cameras as the 2 that come with the track are good, but fairly similar to each other. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rjrft580f472rnl/Oschersleben%20cams.rar?dl=0These go into the '*your steam directory*\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\tracks\tmm_oschersleben\layout_gp\data' folder (you'll see the other camera files if you're in the right place). they should work in the moto variant also, but the crane cams will probably no longer be in the crane platforms so might look odd...

Hello Tim and all SROUK chaps. I was trying to understand if there will be a second qualifying session before race 2, or if the result of qualif. 1 will determine the starting grid of both races. I read the champonship topic, but I didn't find the answer. I wish to all of you the best for a better 2021!

The way we currently set up the server the second race grid is determined by the finishing order of the first race (with the option to reverse positions if desired). Not sure if you can have a second qualy session in AC without manually reseting the server.

As above - the second race start will be determined by finishing order from the first. AC won't support a second qualifying session, and there's no way I'm running another reverse grid series!
I actually thought I'd put that in the announcement, I'll go re-read and edit that to suit then.....

Looking forward to this series. And looks like a healthy grid too. I had the pleasure of racing my bike on this track. I still get the shivers though passing the gravel trap at the final turn, as I high sided the bike big time there during practice... This simming is a lot safer hahaha

Don't know about that, when she was younger my GSD used to lie behind my pedals. Bad footwork used to get me bitten

By the way Stefan, sTracker says that you drove with paddles to set your fastest lap while your car is supposed to have a H-pattern, is this a bogue or something ?

By the way Stefan, sTracker says that you drove with paddles to set your fastest lap while your car is supposed to have a H-pattern, is this a bogue or something ? That raised by Maxime is not a superflous matter talking about AC. Just to let you know, as Aris reported in an "ancient" post, Assetto Corsa manage the shifting timing in a different way based on the modality you choose to play with. To be more clear I paste here his post " We designed it in a way that the less assists you use the more the system forces you to drive realistically and the more realistically you drive, the faster the system let you go.
So:
automatic gearbox + autoblip + auto cut + auto clutch -> easiest -> slower manual gearbox + paddles + autoclutch + autoblip - no autocut -> less easy -> a bit faster manual gearbox + paddles - no autoclutch - no autoblip -> hard -> fast manual H shifter -> manual clutch -> harder -> faster" As Maxime noticed, by the stracker seems that you're driving with paddles + autoclutch, that is something like the 2nd configuration proposed by Aris. So, every driver that won't use an H shifter + manual clutch will be "penalized" by the game itself. This "penalty" is given in terms of time to shift gears, so you will lose some milliseconds for every upshift and downshift, you'll lose some acceleration and probably some top speed at the end of the straights. That is the way AC works, as Aris explained. Tbh it is the same in every sim I played with until today EDIT: After I wrote this post I checked every best lap page for drivers that use ptracker, and it seems strange that everyone is reported with "Automatic clutch: ON" I'm sure I'm with manual clutch at the moment, as I'm always on the razor's edge toward the last laps of the race with my gearbox @FMG: Is it possible that "autoclutch" is forced ON by the server?!?! I bet that should be an issue of the unreliable ptracker in this case, but I could be wrong https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/automatic-throttle-blip-and-cut.65123/#post-1376242
