We must have all had our share of horsepower in the last season ;) so here's something a little tamer, but potentially even more fun!

For this season we will be visiting 8 circuits in various parts of the globe in the Skoda 130RS. Possibly the best complete package available for AC.... :ninja:


Races will be approx 45 minutes in length (Distances will be in number of laps, calculated per race), there are no mandatory pitstops but as tire wear will be accelerated some tracks might require a stop - while others you may get away with.

There will be no success ballast (We haven't been attracting enough drivers for it to work lately) so everyone has the exact same weapon to finish the season in.

The scoring system is the same as we used for the DTM series, except I'll be allowing 1 dropped score based on your worst result (automatically picked by LM2) to cover for un-avoidable absences etc.

Car:
Skoda 130RS (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/skoda-130-rs.26700/)
Custom skins will be allowed - as a starting point I recommend you take a look at this pack: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/skoda-130-rs-super-dooper-mega-skin-pack.32038/

SKINPACK!

Inside the pack you will find 5 folders - these need to be placed into "*Your steam library*\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\cars\tmm_skoda_130rs\skins"

I also recommend you install the big skin pack from the 1st post as well - I may have selected some of those cars when setting up the server (It's nearly impossible to tell which are which in the server software). If you see any white cars this will be your problem.

Can you make me simple black skin Tim?

How simple? (And what number? - you can't have a race car with no number :P )
As you normally like black ones I recommend you also take a look in the skin pack I linked too as there's a nice real black skin in there:

Image link may not work but here goes from the RD topic:

I was giving up on AC but I enjoyed these when we raced them at Feldberg, so I could be tempted to join some of these races.  :surrender:

Yay, I should be back in simland by the time this starts. Missed the test race but messed around in these cars enough to know they are good fun  :thumbup1:

Like that black one but without anything exept #72, actuallu I get idea from that one. I you are busy I'm happy with that #162...

Fair enough - the skin templates for these make simply painting a car black extra easy, It's only if you're trying something fancy like I am you run into issues

Thank you very much Sir. :)

Nice, the test race with these was splendid. Happy to do a series. Hopefully we can attract a couple more drivers for a good grid.

Yes please Geoffers; it would be great if you can do some of the races.  :fencing:

i'll try to join in when i can (assuming i like driving these old petrol lawn-mowers  ;D ) but i am currently in two league series that race either tues or thursdays bi-weekly, so will be a little ad-hoc. Problem is, i dont know any of these tracks well enough (except maybe Bikerniki) so finding time might be a stumbling block.

Is Martinovsky #42 possible for me please ?

Mark and Geoffers, we need you onboard !  ;) :angel:

Undecided on this one,  I might do ACC Ferrari challenge series instead  :o



I need to drive both a bit and decide...

Hello All!
It's been a long time disconnected. My apologies. Life and work have been very busy over the last few months... (still are!).

However, my teammate IbnSolmyr has rightly rescued me and I'm looking forward to joining you all on the 130RS Trophy...

Tim, could I choose the #70 Panik skin? Thanks.

Jos

"A season so good that every man and his dog are taking part" ;)
As this is nearly ready I'll start on yours soon Kimi :)

Looks nice FMG.

Could you put me in the no.8 car from the skinpack please?

Mobilgas no.18 for me if available.

Hi everyone!
Hope you lads are all good!
I've been quite busy with flight simming and so I was away a bit. Fabri told me about this championship that looks interesting, so would be nice to be back behind the wheel for some races!
I'm preparing some custom skins for the magnesium team. We still need to test them but they looks fine. #69 for me and #2 for Fabri.

Cool skins indeed. Good to have you back in Barone.

Those are awesome Barone - and welcome back :)

Can you give me a link to them by the weekend please? That way I can add them to the skin pack for the season ready for the start next week.

Can I take the #68 Autolite car please.

sure, here you go: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6qzq4lgtz1kafq5/skoda130_MG.7z/file (https://www.mediafire.com/file/6qzq4lgtz1kafq5/skoda130_MG.7z/file)

Cheers Barone.

And on a skins note - Here is a very black car for Kimi:

I now just have to chuck that lot plus the fixed version of Stefans' car into a skinpack

Skin-pack added to post 2 and the race thread.

That is so beatiful Tim, thank you very much (actually it's Joensuu not Helsinki but very nice detail).  :sorcerer:

Can I have the 54 please
 ;)

Is that the default #54 Christian? (tomasek_1977)
Or was there a 54 in the skin pack also (I'm on the wrong PC to check myself)

*edit* I've put you into the first #54 I could find in the server tool, hopefully that's correct
