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 5
  • 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 should 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 3.4.4.
