ACADEMY SERIES (SEASON 13)
ASSETTO CORSA COMPETIZIONE
For those brand new to sim racing and/or more particulary Assetto Corsa Competizione, this series will be right up your alley and a perfect way to dip your feet into ACC and OOR.
The series will be aimed at allowing you to race and compete in a beginner ranked series that is a little less daunting than our full blown Sprint, Endurance or special events.
It will still feature our usual rules and regulations, attendance sheet and protocols, but in a more relaxed environment and with drivers of similar experience.
The series will span 8 rounds and follow the same schedule as our Sprint Series which gives us a larger scope for teaching and education.
Max grids will be 40 cars (subject to change), held on a Tuesday night and include two stewards per split.
This series covers 7 rounds with two different round formats.
