"Cobra Cup" has become synonomous with Thursday Night Fun Runs. Even though Season 4 represents a change of pace to an entry-level race car we will retain the "Cobra Cup" series title to signify the spirit of casual, relaxed racing.

* Track Limits. The official AC track cutting penalty system will be used. You must keep at least two wheel within the track boundary, typically delimited by white lines.
* Redress. If you gain position advantage over another driver by colliding with them such that their car leaves the track, or by cutting the track yourself, you are expected to redress your position as soon as safely possible. Gaining position by "reasonable" side-by-side contact is allowed, but rear collisions must be avoided. This won't be enforced. It is an honour system.
* Track Re-entry. You must always re-enter the track with extreme caution. Any collision on re-entry must be redressed.
* Assists. Driving assists like ABS and TC can be used if available on the car. There is no forced driving view.

Current thoughts for next Thursday season

Not sure whether or not everyone would prefer the Alfa GTA or should we stick to mod cars for Thursday races? Also, will AC1.1 break the mod cars?? We'll see on Thursday.

I think the Lambo would make a good alternative to the Alfa for the next season. It looks great, handles well, sounds fantastic with unique sounds. It could be official content in AC1.1?

The Honda NSX is a surprisingly good mod. It is a light, good handling car which is pretty easy to drive. Well suited to Thursdays. It needs to be tested however before committing to a season. It would be good to include the Honda in the trials night to see how it goes.

We've tested the Jaguar and it is an excellent mod. Maybe a bit quick for the "spirit" of Thursdays. It is really a race car rather than a road car.

The Cobra 427 Street Car needs no introduction except to point out that this is the mod version rather than the official content version. We haven't run this version in a series to my knowledge.

For the Season 4 tracks my idea was to stick to well known, good quality tracks but introduce a new mod track, Hockenheimring 1988. Grobnik and Donington have been updated recently. Eastern Creek has also been updated and we will use the 'proper' layout. Gentrack1 is always good to visit again.

"Let's begin with a little snip of some racing rules:
O-1: To obtain right of road position in a corner, the overtaker's car must have substantial overlap of the car that is being overtaken, before they reach the corner's turn-in point. Should the overtaking car not have enough overlap, the leading car may resume its racing line without fear of contact.
This is a very important agreement for both opponents, but I am left with a question here:
Without at least a 180° FoV triple screen setup or some occulus rift - how should anybody be able to judge this? Many of us are really struggling with this. - clean - racers want to race as close and fair as possible."

Whats new in version 1.2:
- added complete 3D terrain including all surrounding hills and mountains (some are so far away, that AC engine does not show, see the images)
- changed grass and some other textures
- added bumps and rebounds to the track surface (to feel more real, since the original tarmac is more then 30 years old and all cracked), thats why some higher riding hight on the cars needed


The Automotodrom Grobnik Rijeka lies on the Croatian coast, in the mountains above Rijeka city. Circuit runs in an anti-clockwise direction with a total distance of 4.17 kilometres (2.59 miles) which includes a series of long straights and fast left-right sweeping corners.Track it self is because of that very challenging to drive, specially in a cars with a low downforce.

Although the circuit is approved by the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motorcyclisme) and the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile), the focus is mainly on training, testing and particularly on concerts which perfectly fit with the beautiful surroundings.

From 1978 to 1990 it hosted the Yugoslavian motorcycle Grand Prix races where ases like Roberts, Lawson, Rainey and other famous riders were winning.
