WELCOME TO BATHURST 6H!

on Assetto Corsa Competizione.


SUBMERSE YOURSELF

into the world of endurance racing, where strategy, dealing with traffic, and driving fast yet consistently is critical. You can create your own team or see the recruiting teams list here. You can choose from GT3 and GT4 class cars. You can also drive the 6h by yourself, but you still need to register as a team even if you are the only member in that team.

DON’T MISS OUT ON THE FREE REGISTRATION!

Early access - free entry! Registration during the last week will be paid. Don’t miss out on the free registration!

live race control

During the qualifying and the race there will be live race control to issue penalties during the race. Penalties can range from a warning to a disqualification.

racing license required

  • AM or higher Racing License is required for GT4 cars.
  • PRO-AM or higher Racing License is required for GT3 cars.

PRE-QUALIFICATION REQUIRED

GT3 class has a time requirement to classify: each driver must set a faster than 2:04.000 lap time in the free practice session. We want to make the GT3 class only for more experienced drivers. GT4 class drivers have to make 10 valid (clean) laps in the event's FP server.

The divisions will be ordered by the average team lap time, so make sure your average is fast if you want to be in the first division. 

CIRCUIT

Mount Panorama is a legendary circuit in Australia famous for the technical mountain section of narrow track surrounded by concrete walls. It is a place that demands respect from the drivers! It's a world famous circuit for the endurance races and the V8 Supercar races held on it. Weather can change quickly in real life and usually there is some rain during the endurance races so expect the same here as well.

IMPORTANT!

Please read the rules and regulations of this event in the "Rules" section.

ENDURANCE USING ONE ACCOUNT ON ACC

For special events on Assetto Corsa Competizione, it’s enough to have one WSS account per team to participate in the race. IT IS NOT mandatory to have at least 2 drivers in a team!

To make the racing fair for all teams, the maximum stint time is 65min. However, you still need to represent a team to participate in this event, even if you will race using one account. Find a team or create a team here.

ENDURANCE USING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS

It is also possible for a team to race that's made up of 2 to 3 different WSS accounts. You need to join or create a team to race with your team members. A maximum of 3 (three) drivers in one team are allowed. Maximum stint time is 65min.

GOOD TO KNOW:

  • The official communication and updates will be in the Discord #announcements channel
  • The minimum driver count in one team is set to 1
  • The maximum driver count in one team is set to 3
  • GT3 and GT4 cars have the updated LFM BoP.
  • Pit lane speed. Don’t forget to reduce speed before entering the pit lane! ACC will give a penalty for speeding in pits. Also same when exiting the pit lane - if you are using an automatic pit limiter it might cut a bit too early and you will get a penalty. We recommend accelerating only after driving over the exit line even with an automatic pit limiter. ACC will give a penalty for speeding in pits and a DSQ for severe violations!
  • The weather will be dynamic and the parameters may be adjusted up until the race day. 
  • Racing incidents can also be reported using the ‘Report Driver’ system inside the event results page. All reports will be reviewed by race control after the race and time penalties will be added to the total time for the team that will break the rules.
  • Steam Account. Make sure to use the same Steam account for registering and driving during the event - your steam ID is captured when you register and a server slot will be reserved for that specific Steam account.
  • The Primary Driver must connect to the server first. Otherwise, you may be stuck in spectator mode. How to perform driver swap?
  • Custom car liveries can be uploaded by premium users, see documentation here.
  • By default, custom liveries are not installed for participants to prevent game freezes and performance issues.
  • However, if you have no problem with that and would still like to see all custom liveries, you need to enable this
  • In your WSS settings (User menu > Settings > Game Content > Install ACC Liveries)
  • Make sure you follow maximum driver stint time. See rules section 2.12.7 and 2.12.8.
