ROOKIE SERIES (SEASON 9)
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 9 rounds and follow the same schedule as our Sprint Series (including 1 extra round), 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.
You are able to select any of the current gen GT3 cars and this is the car you must stick with for the 8 round seasons.
We will allow one car change per season, but we do prefer you stick it out with your chosen car as this will help in your improvement and learning.
This series covers 9 rounds with two different round formats.
