After a spectacular and successful opening race of the season, ROUND 2 of the RETRO CUP 25 Season is ready to go green this MONDAY, September 29th, LIVE ON SIMBROADCASTS
4 classes, 7 vintage cars, 90 minutes of multiclass endurance racing! Are you up for this incredible challenge?
After the dangers and traps of Westhill North RGE, a very different challenge awaits the Retro Drivers for the Round 2 of the Season!
Aston RETRO is ready to deliver another exciting race, being on the calendar since the series inception, and always providing fun and close races in all classes!
Compared to Westhill North RGE, this track is quite wider and more flowing, requiring a different kind of setup and driving skills.
The speeds are fast, the corners are quick, and the dangers are there, ready to catch out drivers!
This year Aston Retro also features a banked corner before the infamous Sector 3 chicane: this banked corner will allow the drivers the opportunity to go for multiple lines during the races.
Will you keep it tight around the kerb or will you go all the way up the banking, trying to carry out big speed out of the corner?

Pitting rules:
Pit-Stop is not specifically required, but the race is 90 minutes long, so you might need it anyway, either to change worn tyres or go for a specific fuel strategy.
Le Mans style Start procedure:
In proper Retro fashion, the cars will be aligned oblique on the start finish straight.
At the green light, the race is ON, so you'll have to steer right and accelerate!
(there are also arrows marks pointing the correct direction in front of you!)
SPECIFIC RULES:
- Re-joining is allowed after crashes or disconnections.
But you'll have to wait at least 1 MINUTE (60 seconds) from the time of disconnection/telepit/crash.
If this re-joining wait time is not respected, the driver will be penalized, with severity based on the time gained.
- Mid-race join without qualifying IS NOT ALLOWED, and the driver will be removed from the results and risk a server ban.
- Changing cars beteween quali and race is NOT ALLOWED, and will results in DQ from final results and possible bans.
- Changing driver at the pit-stop IS ALLOWED, but the final results will see the points splitted between the two drivers.
- Server will be PASSWORD PROTECTED 15 minutes before the qualifying ends, to avoid late inexperienced entrants.
- The championship is open to join, no Sign-ups required
