Australian assetto corsa league - xgn - tuesday

XGN are running an established AC league for Australian and New Zealand players. The league has been running for several seasons, with grids of 24 drivers or more, with a reserves list for vacancies. There are two championships: Tuesday nights, a more serious competition, and Thursday nights, a more casual competition.

You can read about the leagues and sign up for competition at the XGN forums. I'm the admin for the Tuesday night league - message me with any questions.

 

Season starting Tuesday Aug 11: http://www.xgn.com.au/index.php?topic=1082.0

Featuring Lotus Evora GTC/GX with success ballast.

Spots available! Reply to the XGN forum thread to sign up.

 

We are midway through our Lotus Evora GTC/GX season, and with some drivers going on holidays, we have 4 spots available for Australian drivers, for Tuesday night friendly league races. The format of the race nights are a 15 min sprint race, followed by a longer 30 min race requiring a pit stop. There is also a 50 min enduro round. Success ballast for the top 10 drivers is used to balance the field a little more. We simulate the weather conditions at the real track on the day.

You can read about the season here.

 

XGN Season 9 is starting Oct 13, featuring the Formula Renault 3.5 mod. Seven rounds of two races each Tuesday night - including pit stops. Ballast will be used to keep the field tight.

Been having fun in the XGN leagues for a while with AC, currently the fr3.5 season with ballast handicaps has produced some good close racing through the field.

Here is a few laps from race 1 last round with me chasing Bacchulum who was a bit lighter then me and a few others were all battling along trying to gain positions on eachother.

 

Starting Dec 1, XGN are having a 4 week ”Master the Ring” Tuesday night competition for Australian racers. Four different cars, one per week, at the Nordschleife: BMW M4, Lotus Exige V6 Cup, Formula Abarth, SCG 003C.

The round format will be two races of 3 laps, with the second race full reverse grid. Qualifying starts at 8:00pm Eastern DST, with race 1 at 8:50pm.

XGN are hosting a Toyota GT86 season for Australian racers on Tuesday nights, starting on Apr 5. Each race will feature reverse grid starts. Head over to http://xgn.com.au/index.php?board=42.0 to find out more, and PM me, Wally, here or at XGN if you're keen.

 

Here is a full 16 lap 20 minute video from pur new season. This is race 2 of 3 for the night and was a full reverse grid race which really is quite fun.



A fun format this season with only race 1 of round 1 being a regular qualifying start. This was rather boring as expected with people simply extending gaps to all others pretty much the same as qualifying times reflected each drivers pace.

From then on race 2 is a full reverse grid of race 1 with dnf's getting put at the back of the grid. Race 3 is the same format with race 1 of the next round then being set in reverse championship order. With race 2 and 3 each round being just a full reverse of the previous race.

The next round is at Magione with currently 26 people signed up. We still have space for a few more aussies if they are interested in this sort of season.

 

Round 2 of our reverse grid season, I chose race 2 again more to show how the new collisions are working in the latest AC build 1.5.6. There was some great racing but also a bit of rubbing going on.

This race was at magione with I think 25 starters using the osrw grid modded track version.

 

XGN are hosting a Japanese Pack league season (season 13) for Australian racers on Tuesday nights, starting on August 2, 2016. Each sprint race will feature reverse grid starts, and selected cars have ballast for parity. Qualifying starts at 8:30pm Eastern. Head over to http://xgn.com.au/index.php?topic=1535 to find out more, and PM me, Wally, here or at XGN if you're keen to join in the fun.

 

Here is a video from race 3 of the first round, we had 21 starters with ballast added to the rx7 (145kg) and 370 (110kg) with the Supra and r34 GTR having no ballast. This showed pretty close lap times in testing and seemed for the first round it wasn't too far off. This was a reverse grid race with hot temps of 31c and 42c track temps to match the current real world conditions at all track we are running at.

 

Is this league still going?

 

yes, we had a race last night

 

Yes, as strong as ever. We've just started a WEC season with 29 signups.

 

Looks like it is...
