XGN & Assetto Corso (http://"http://store.steampowered.com/app/244210/") bring you:
'Shelby Cobra Cup Racing'
Thursdays
Release Candidate 1.x.x
Season Two: "... I like to drive the 289 better than the 427.” Carroll Shelby.
Even Carroll liked the 289 best of the cars he created. (Although he did answer once that his favorite car is the next car he builds), but we don’t want to re-learn…
But we will be re-using the Cobra 427 S/C AGAIN.
This will illiminate learning a 'slightly different' car, we get use our existing setups and skins if we choose.

We also have the advantage of celebrating the life of one of the many greats of motor sport, Carroll Shelby, with the "Shelby Cobra Cup" available for season winners to have their names added.
'This is the "Cobra", the whole "Cobra" and nothing but the “Cobra”.' Lemmy Caution.
Schedule:
THURSDAY nights, using the existing prac/qual/race times that we have become accustomed here at XGN, but we will maintain a 2 race night.
1. A shorter sprint with a double distance main race.
2. This will give us the chance to have a short adrenaline rush sprint and then apply some strategy for the longer race.
3. Use some of the newer track, assisting in checking/sorting out issues to assist/show appreciation for the work by the modders/track builders, but well vetted. Less problems = more FUN!
4. Depending on my capabilities, if 'ballast' is available, we may apply to the second race to even the field out for some door rubbin' fun.
5. Fun. :)

Rules
* Car Selection. Default 1.x.x installed Cobra
* Track Limits. The AC track cutting penalty system will not be used. You must keep at least one wheel within the track boundary, typically delimited by white lines. This won't be enforced. It is an honour system.
* 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.
* Fuel/Tyre Multiplier. Due to an AC bug, please ensure that your Fuel and Tyre wear multipliers in offline mode are set to 1x.
