Next Thursday!
We have been asked about a (Beginners League), then we formed the Gr.4 series, it was intended for the beginners. When word got out about how well ARL was doing, we started to see more and more fast guys join in on the lobby. The most current season of Gr.4 we introduced the BotR portion of the championship. Well, now i am going to test a "theory" with you guys. Whats going to happen is we will be working on CLOSE TIGHT CLEAN RACING. Does this worry you? It probably can, but rest assured, i think i have a fix for that fear, and hopefully a fix for a distant future beginners league for ARL.
We will be running a series of races, BOOST racing. What this will allow is everyone to get comfortable with close racing and learning what to do and how to adjust when following someone to help you from running them over going into corners, and to help you learn how to pass cleaner and most importantly, INCREASE CONFIDENCE. There will be a few INSTRUCTORS who will also be around to help guide everyone along.
One of the hardest things in GTSport is racing in competitive races online, but having the ability to pass clean especially when we are not driven the same in the sport mode lobbies. We get flustered, and tend to make mistakes, accidents happen, and we start to lose focus to our brake points. Things start to spiral out of control and before you know it, your SR and DR have gone down hill.
Instructors who will be in attendance. (If you would like to help please tag myself and i will add you to the list.)

I ASK THAT EVERYONE PLEASE PICK ONE GR.3 CAR, AND PRACTICE AT BOTH TRACKS I WILL HAVE LISTED BELOW. TOD SHOULDNT MATTER. THERE ARE 2 THINGS I WOULD LIKE YOU TO WORK ON, LEARNING THE BRAKE POINTS TRY FINDING 2 DIFFERENT BRAKE POINTS FOR EACH CORNER, BRAKE POINTS THAT YOU WOULD USE BY YOURSELF, AND THEN ONE THAT IS A LITTLE FURTHER BACK. WHEN RUNNING IN BOOST AND SLIPSTREAM, WE WILL BE RUNNING MUCH TIGHTER ON THE TRACK, AND WITH THESE SETTINGS, THE CLOSING RATE WILL BE QUICKER THAN NORMAL, IN HOPES OF HELPING YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO KEEP FROM RUNNING OVER SOMEONE. ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN.
Lobby will open between 8:00pm and 8:30pm EST.

We will also be running this night as clean as we can, if you bump someone off, or such, please Concede to them, hopefully this will help you understand more of where you need to brake for next time. Boost will be on, and you will catch up.
