We finally kick off for real with a return to the 50% distance race format :)

There’s an update to the rules app (we know you all love more downloads :P) AC FtF Rules App (v4.2) You must have it enabled and on your screen for the race.

PLEASE NOTE – THERE IS NO CLEAR PIT ENTRY LINE ON THIS TRACK FOR SOME REASON, SO WE WILL “NOT” BE MONITORING PIT ENTRY SPEEDS ON THIS OCCASION!!!!! LUCKILY, THIS IS A TRACK WHERE NO ADVANTAGE CAN BE GAINED BY SPEEDING, SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SPEED IN! WE WILL TEST THIS IN ADVANCE IN FUTURE

To clarify the pit entry rules:

  • Speeding at the pit entry = 1 warning (equal to a corner cut)
  • No reasonable attempt to slow down = a reprimand or worse.

You may wish to remind yourself of the corner cutting rules before the league begins.

For our final pre-season race, we will be trying out a 60% F1 race distance as suggested by a few drivers after last season. Fuel consumption has been adjusted correspondingly.

Please also download:

The pit speed limit will now be monitored by the rules app, so you should uninstall the ACRL pit app if you downloaded it last week.

P.S. it’s helpful if you use the same name in AC as on the website :)

For our first pre-season race you will need the following downloads:

  • The latest public version of the FW31 car: AC VRC Williams FW31 (v1.4)
  • A physics update: AC Williams FW31 Physics & Skins
    We owe many thanks to misterbeam, the current developer, for all his hard work in turning our suggestions into a great league car. This is the basis of the upcoming public version 1.4 of the mod.
  • The ACRL pit lane app, created by MegadetH_44: ACRL Pit App (v3.1)

We will be testing the pit app as a means of enforcing the 80km/h pit entry speed limit.

The tyres allowed in this race will be softs, mediums and hards. No restrictions on race strategy. We haven’t decided yet what tyre rules to adopt for the league.

Hope it’s a fun one!

2016 in review

The last year has been the most active ever for FtF, with 5 different leagues completed. We thought it would be worth a little roundup of all the fun we had.

MinedPolecat34 on Formula SimRacing:

Flag-to-Flag had a very successful debut in FSR this year, moving up from AMA to the Pro division in August, where we amassed 3 podiums to reach an impressive 5th in the constructors standings. We have high hopes for our first full season next year with an expanded entry.

A take on our F1 leagues from BobbyDeacs and xNinja:

F2002: Bobby inspired a hugely successful league providing plenty of clean racing and stiff competition up and down the field. Personally I found the league very challenging and it was an enjoyable experience battling so many people in my first sim league since graduating from the Codemasters games.

SF15-T: Kunos’ Red Pack brought us an interesting season to say the least. A complex car and most assists banned meant this was a league for the more sim-oriented competitors, and yielded a variety of victors throughout the season. Attendance was rough at times due to the level of difficulty, something we can work on for next year, but it was a truly rewarding experience for those who committed to it. With a little surgery, we may yet have unfinished business with this car…

Cameron looks back at our mid-week leagues:

Formula 3: Running as a social league, F3 saw a long overdue revival for our 25% sprint format. Drivers were challenged by completely new circuits including Lippo, Modena and the almighty Nordschleife finale. The arrival of some fresh members was a bonus all round.

Formula Renault 3.5: A second season followed the same format, but with a tail-happy car promoting overtaking and some awesome battles. We were introduced to more unfamiliar venues such as Donington and Misano before the green hell beckoned again to revive a season that had threatened to peter out.

And last but not least, Dirt Rally returned in style with a thrilling competition that went down to the wire, as Waffen usurped Chicane in Greece to become our new sideways maestro.

One common theme ran through every AC league we held this year: the indomitable Emil Praga at the top of the standings, waltzing to all four titles with 20 wins and 29 podiums in 38 league races! Rivalled for pace by the ever-improving Shayan Najam and Raven, his superior consistency meant he never looked like losing. Congratulations to Emil from all of us here :)

So, who’s up for the challenge in 2017?
