We did oval series for NR2003 and project cars 2.
There are no Oval series for AC, at least for now.

Good question and good to know thx.
I think the track offering is a bit lacking in AC if I'm not mistaken in terms of oval tracks. That and maybe there isn't as much interest in the community? Anyone else would be interested in oval racing? I'd love to try it. Isn't it time someone gave iracing a bit of competition on ovals?

I've been watching RaceDepartment for good oval tracks for AC. I think there are at least six candidates now. There are other problems, though, foremost among them being standing starts (which are terrible in almost every oval-tracker) and incident points (which would punish you from bump-drafting). Also there aren't any very good free cars for oval racing. The ARC Chevrette has been used here before but is a paid mod.

That's pretty cool to learn, didn't know they'd literally bump against cars so as to draft in NASCAR!

I also would like to see some oval racing, even with regular cars for fun, but i agree with what was been said, bump-drafting would be a inc point nightmare on how outdated the collision points are done. Also we have no full course yellow flag and no rolling starts. Those are also useful and essential of good oval race (pacing yellow, helps make people clustered again for more racing to happen than just "who survive first accident" and allow better pit stop strategies).
Still it would be fun to test it in SRS to find if it is possible to make our own... with black jack and ho.....
I gonna say it straight, i'm playing Assetto Corsa on Game pad... on directional pad. I'm masochistic, nostalgic idiot that can't forget muscle memory from many Gran Turismo 1, 2 and 4 races. I'm driving in various skins i made.

Race Sim Studio has a very high quality mod that could be used in racing in AC, just saying. I would love to have oval races here at SRS, as for the start problem, I think it would be kind of launched when the start of the second lap, then the drivers would be free to overtake ... just a dream.
