Saturday Race Series
FOR
Wheel Users
What I present to you is a chance to take advantage of using your wheel to its full potential. This is a racing series for wheel users only. Sorry non-wheel users.
Why create this series?
- Well, I have seen plenty of series where it lacks the use of the tracks with weather and/or time change. Some uses them, but many don't. So what came to my mind is why not create a racing series using only the few tracks that offers these option.
How do we use our wheel to its full potential?
- If you're a wheel user, we all know that racing with it provides much greater driving experience compare to the DS3. I don't hate the DS3, but racing with a wheel lets you feel the road much more. Most of us will agree that you are more cautious when driving with one because it is much harder to counter steer with it than with DS3. Since we will be using tracks with weather and/or time change, we will feel the road surface much stronger.
So if you're interested continue reading. If not, don't because it will just be a waste of your time.

Tracks We Will Race On (W=Weather Change, C=Time Change)
------------------------------------------------------------------
We'll Start off with: FF Week, Getting To Know The Rain
Special Stage Route 7 (W) - Why? We'll run 2 laps to get use to the slippery road.
High Speed Ring (W) - We follow SSR7 with this stage so we can have a basic idea on how to race in a track when it's raining.
*Comfort Soft Tires For Both Races
*Only Cars with FF Drivetrain
------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 2: FR/MR Week, Tail Happy
Chamonix Main (W) - After a week of wet racing, we move on with snow. Why snow? Well, we get to counter steer even more. Not only we'll anticipate the turn more, some of us will get to learn to counter steer quicker with precision. Who knows, this might interest you to learn how to drift, keeping the theme of using our wheel to its full potential.
Autodromo Nazionale Monza (W) - We then follow by racing back to wet road. Why back to wet road you ask? Well, to translate some of the things we learn from the snow surface.
*Snow Tires needed for Chamonix; Comfort Soft at Monza
*Only Cars with FR/MR Drivetrain
------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 3: AWD Week, Hand Massage
Toscana (C) - Tired of wet roads? Here we go dry, but with a twist. We race during night time. Why race here? Simply learn how to drive at night where you can hardly see the next turn. This will teach us how to respect speed. Boring much? I'll leave that to you to judge after a gruesome experience of night laps.
Eiger Nordwand K Trail - No weather or time change. This will be our sunny track with major FFB response.
*Dirt Tires For Both Races
*Only Cars With 4WD Drivetrain
------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 4: The Test
La Sarthe 2009 (W,C) - Here we can drive in the rain and at night time. This should be an interesting stage as we get to use all of the things we learn from the previous weeks. It gives us tight turns, but also great portions of long straights which can sometimes leads to disaster.
*Comfort Soft Tires
*Any Drivetrain
------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 5: 👍
Nurburgring 24h (W,C) - This track should let us utilize our past or newly acquired skills from our previous experiences. We will run with 10 laps on this track, endurance race? We should finish this race within 1 1/2 hours.
*Comfort Soft Tires
*Any Drivetrain
