Welome to THR – Info and Help

My "name" is pitman and I am the founder and one of the Admins of THR.
The idea behind THR was to race the AC GPL Mod against friends on a regular basis. Since then (December 2018) we have grown steadily and I would never have imagined what would develop from that idea.
I welcome you to our community!
The following lines will help you to get to know THR.
See you on track!

Welcome to THR

THR is a community of passionate fuelheads, gentleman drivers, SimRacing enthusiasts who love to race raw, vintage cars. We mostly race in Assetto Corsa - the heart of THR is the GPL Mod for AC (1967 F1 cars), that we regularly race in different championships. Besides that we race all types of F1, touring and GT cars from the most iconic eras of racing history.

Please read the information in this channel, it should answer all of your questions to get started within THR.

Types of events that THR offers

THR Race formats

Main Championship
Main events on Sundays: 1x60min race, qualifying takes place during the whole previous week, so you can set your quali time whenever you want
Saturday practice races: before each main event on Sundays the same car / track combo is used the day before on Saturday, no championship points are allocated for those races. The practice races usually consist of a 30min qualifying session followed by 2x30min races. To spice up matters, for the second race the first ten positions from the first race start in reversed order.

Casual Cup
Same format as the Main Champinship but more Casual.
It´s meant for:

the Rookies
the ones who need some more practice among other drivers but also want a taste of competition
the ones who want to have a more casual race
the ones who don´t have enough time to practice hours and hours

Weekday races - WKDY
those usually consist of a 20min quali session and 2x15min races. The second race is usually a reversed grid race

Lada Learner Loop - LLL
The idea is that this is a 24/7 server [THR2] on which the Lada 2101 and the Lada 2105 are waiting for you in the pit lane. There will be a 10 minute qualifying session and a 20 minute race in a continuous loop. The tracks will change weekly. There will be no fixed race times. Instead we have created a new channel in Discord ⁠#lada-learner-loop where you can make appointments for races.

Off Season
During the off-season we offer shorter cup-events with 3-4 races, Fun Events or Time Attacks.
