hey all, Im Astro, raced a few games with some of you already. was interested in perhaps going on the race lists for tuesday/thursday nights. im probably better off being a backup as im often on call etc for work. so can be tricky to commit. ill be around mostly of a night. Hope to catch some of you on the track :)
Hi Astro, welcome.
Speaking for Phil and the rest of the Thursday racers, jump to the thread and come Along
Your on call status will suit Thursday, join in when can miss when you have to.

Hey

31 from Sydney here, originally from the UK, been in Australia for 6 years and had both my kids here. Work as a software developer.

Only recently got a gaming PC after a long break of just playing consoles. Playing a lot of Forza games with a controller, but as soon as I got Assetto Corsa I had to go and buy a G27.

Was on the server list the other day and saw the XGN servers, so googled it and ended up here. I play pretty much every night so would be good to play with some of you guys.


Cheers
Joe

Hey look at that, two years to the day that I joined this fine group of racers. I'd never done a single sim race, and had only every played Forza with a controller before joining. Feel like I've come a long way in those two years (which I guess is really 1yr 4m due to 8m baby break) and thanks to all those that have helped me out along the way. Race nights are the highlight of my week and I frickin' love it!

EDIT: I'd clearly forgotten how old I was in that original post as I'm 34 now  :o

Heck, time flies.  Was that the Ferrari and McLaren at Silverstone?  Actually I think that was the first fun run.  I think the first series were the BMW E30s?

Hey Fellas,
Signing up to say Hi, as this appears to be the Aussie AC community hub.. Ive seen a few names online here before in casual races..

I'd like to join in on a league at some point (give you someone else to beat) but cant really commit to anything right now.

Would like to ask if there is a particular night that is more popular for practicing / quick races?

cheers,
Paul

Hey all,


Just thought I'd stop by and say G'day, KeRo is my racing name, 40 year old male from Sydney. I've been sim racing for a number of years now, started off in Race07 and rFactor/rFactor 2, then moved over to AC a couple of years ago. I'm here because I'm looking for a local group to race with on local servers. Been racing on US and European servers lately but the lag can cause issues/accidents and I want to try and avoid that as much as I can.

I'm keen for any sort of racing, the idea of League racing is appealing to me more recent months and am keen to see what it's all about.

Cheers, KeRo

Greetings KeRo

Thursday's is the relaxed racing night, a new season about to start with some older classics; real proper cars. For something a bit more challenging the Tuesday league is running the modern Lotus Exos open wheeler.
