    Group C bannor.jpg Registration

    Welcome to the Monday Night Racing AMS2 Holiday Group C series!
    This series brings us to the iconic Group C class.
    Group C was a category of sports car racing introduced by the FIA in 1982 and continuing until 1993
    AMS2 brings it back to life in spectacular fashion, and now we get to get behind the wheel of these amazing cars!
    Enjoy 6 compelling events over this Holiday season, including a run on the infamous Green Hell, that is, the Nordschleife.
    Check out the events:

    Mon Dec 8, 2025 19:15 R1 Termas de Rio Hondo
    Mon Dec 29, 2025 19:15 R2 Cascais alt.
    Mon Jan 05, 2026 19:15 R3 Nordschleife 2025
    Mon Jan 19, 2026 19:15 R4 Daytona Road Course
    Mon Feb 02, 2026 19:15 R5 Rd Atlanta
    Mon Feb 16, 2026 19:15 R6 Interlagos
    This series will feature some DLC tracks!
    Don't have the DLC?
    Not to worry
    In AMS2 you don't need to own the DLC tracks to race on them
    As long as the player hosting the server owns the DLC (like SRO admin = me), any player can join and race on the tracks;)
    So don't let that stop you from enjoying this Holiday series!

    Registration is now open!
    You have 4 cars to choose from and can change vehicles at any time, after all, this is a Holiday series.

    So spice up the eggnog, fasten your seatbelts, & let's Go!!

    A bit of a strange choice. Group C and 45-minute races. It doesn't work. It's like making 20-minute races in F1. Group C is for longer races, and if you want 45 minutes, then it's something like Brazilian stock cars or older ones like the old DTM.

    It's all I have time for week days in the euro time zone as I live in the US and go to work at 21:00 & it's just a holiday series for some fun ..
    & F1 does have 30 min sprint races
    Saying it doesn't work is just not true. This Class doesn't even race anymore, so nothiong wrong with having some fun with these cool cars.
    For me, it's better to race them around for 45 minutes than not to race them at all ;)

    I would love to have a weekend series with these cars & have 90 min races, so maybe if we have a good turnout we can set something like that up! :)

    45 minutes is an interesting distance. The Sauber had to save fuel mid-race. Over such a distance, the Porsche is advantageous; it allows you to drive at a fast pace without skimping.

    Looks like probably a time zone thing .. SG was just for exposure anyway ..

    No time for practice so I had to get up to speed in the race. I think a boost button would have been useful as I needed more on the straights as folks seemed to pull away. I was running 85% boost. Fuel seemed ok in the Nissan so I think I could have run more boost by default. I also upped the brake pressure to 100% as I prefer to use the pedal software to modulate that across sims for consistency.

    Fun car this, I really enjoyed it once I got the hang of it. Had fun chasing the pack but a few spins cost me places I think. Grats to the podium, great pace up front :eek:

    p.s. I took a shot of the pings. Rob and Ed were red for me but Rob seemed ok in close racing. I did notice Ed was a bit jittery though.
