FAQs
What spec of PC do I need to participate?
You will need a reasonable specification laptop or PC, ideally with its own graphics card. If you play PC games on your PC today then it will probably be fine, but some older PCs and laptops may only have onboard graphics cards which may struggle to render the fast-paced graphics of a racing game. Best to give it a go and see how it performs!
What else do I need, like controllers and steering wheels?
You will need some way of controlling the car in the game as this proves very tricky with the keyboard, and this can be with a USB gaming controller (e.g. for an Xbox or PS4) or a racing sim setup with a steering wheel and pedals. There are some reasonably priced steering wheel and pedal setups for the PC so you don’t need to buy the whole racing chair rig – you can buy all that later if you really love it and this becomes a passion.
What software do I need?
You will need Assetto Corsa Ultimate Edition for the PC on Steam which is available here. If you already have the regular Assetto Corsa edition you will need to add Dream Pack 3 for the extra features and circuits we use.
How do I sign up?
The links below contain registration forms for our championships. If you have any more questions, join our Facebook group and feel free to ask our community anything.
When are the races?
Races are scheduled at 8pm on Wednesday evenings and will include practice, qualifying and the race itself. And remember, if there is no race happening you can still get on the track as we run open sessions all day long.
I’m nervous of racing, can I just have a go on my own?
Throughout the day, when races are not taking place there is a looping open-access session happening. So you can pick a time when racing is not happening and just get on the track. But don’t worry, there are lots of amateurs as well as more experienced racers and nobody is judging you. Probably.
We have a very helpful drivers WhatsApp group where you’ll get all the help you need to get started.
I have Assetto Corsa on Xbox or PS4, but not on the PC!
Sorry, our championships only run on Assetto Corsa for Windows PC.
I’m not a member of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club, can I still join in?
The Championships are only for valid members or pre-qualified experienced racers in partnership with the Alfa Romeo & Italian Intermarque Championship. It is just one of many benefits we give our members. But truthfully you’d be mad not to join the Alfa Romeo Owners Club if you are an Alfa Romeo enthusiast or owner.
