Click on your name or your profile and then go to "racing history" on the left side. There you'll find all championships you took part in.

The standings are also at the top of the main site page

wow.. how is anyone supposed to find that on his own? lol

btw, what are all the weird abbreviations stand for? A2PC for instance.. PC is Porsche Cup, obviously, but A2?

It's actually not hard, Dave has created links all over the place to see results/championship standings etc. Where is says Series, near the top of the page, you can click on A2PC and it shows what Mark has linked to. If you click on a race topic, there is a link to the series standings above where the results appear. If you click on your forum profile Dave has added a racing history section where you can see all the events you've taken part in.

Each race series needs a code; A will be Assetto Corsa, 2 is Season 2 I'd think. You might argue this is Series 1 of the Porsche Cup but these aren't a science

it's actually not hard.

while this may make sense to all of you who have been here for ages, it really is incredibly difficult to figure this website out for newcomers.


what is the "code" used for btw? i mean, what do you need this simple code for.. if its just an abbreviation for every user to navigate to the specific series, it might be worth a rethinking, making it more obvious what this specific link links to.
If its just for you admins, it might be worth to hide it smh or create a "standings" button or what not.

When it comes to user friendliness, you have to think of your "customers" as the most stupid morons possible


just some feedback from my side

[Mark J]

I disagree actually, I think it's pretty easy to navigate around this site, mainly because it's a bit boring and functional compared to most racing sites 
When I go on acrl etc I get properly lost trying to find race threads/passwords  etc.
Core have a fairly nice site, nice layout etc I just don't like the cars they choose for racing.

Anyway you will be pleased to know that the Porsche series standings link now appears at the foot of each new Race thread 1st post 

[Wiltshire Tony]

I think it's a valid point and I will make sure that a race series designation is explained under the START HERE tab. Thanks for the useful feedback  

EDIT: Just checked and an explanation (albeit slightly out of date) is already there. I will get it updated.

yeah, CORE are top notch in that regard.. i have the same problem as you do tho, they just dont run series i am interested in.

and the ACRL page isnt user friendly as well so not really a benchmark here haha

The thing is, while this website is highly functional, you kinda get thrown all the information at you at once and its overwhelming for newcomers. Especially as you run on multiple platforms, it is even more of a challenge to make things nice and tidy.
To me it was super confusing when visitin the website the first times in summer, to even find the community navigation page, to find the AC section. The "Start here" landing page doesnt really help you out at first glance.

If i may give an easy solution to that:
You could just have links to each subcommunity (each game) on the landing page, people can click on and get redirected to the specific section only.

--> I visit Simracing.org.uk and see the landing page with the Names of all the Games you are hosting, i click on AC as this is the game i am interested in and then get directed to UKAC

[Mark J]

Anyone would think they've been spying over here and nicking my ideas    still they say immitation is the best form of flattery 

Lol Denis, oh I expect we will run this series again another time but let's at least finish this one first eh
