RACE TO RAISE DONATIONS 

Join us at the Imola circuit as we honor Ayrton Senna's legacy! Senna's influence on the racing world is undeniable, but his commitment to improving the lives of Brazil's youth through education is equally inspiring.

During the 12-hour charity race, viewers and drivers can donate directly through a QR code on the screen. 100% of donations will go to the Ayrton Senna Institute. We will cover transfer fees to ensure the full amount reaches those in need.

ABOUT THE AYRTON SENNA INSTITUTE

Founded by Senna and his family, the Ayrton Senna Institute has transformed the lives of over 36 million Brazilian students by enhancing public education and fostering the development of each child's potential. Learn more about their incredible work here.

  • 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.

  • 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.
