Join open lobbies and try to make a group with just people of your pace...

Also, "rookies" or "beginners" mean nothing, already saw a guy that said the same doing 1:49s at Monza, while I believe many that can barely do 1:53s would never consider him a rookie or a beginner so ... these words are very relative to how you see it.

For some 1:53 is beginner, for others it is 1:57 and for others 1:49 ...

There are groups with drivers that have skills ranging from 0.5% off from best times to over 10% off from best time and everyone race the sane races, the competition comes from the people that race at around the same pace

Ok nice. Are there any events or maybe leagues that are offering fair and competitive racing?

I'm new and would love to race against some new people. My best Monza time is 2:03. Let me know if you want to set up a race

in my league we have 3 tiers, based on times.
but even in the slower tier you cant race with SA bellow 70.

how fast you are means something, how safe you can race with others is more important though, not only in leagues but even in public lobbies.
are you a rookie in sim racing or new to ACC?

Sounds like your "slow tier" would be too fast for me. Rookie to sim racing

if you find a safe place to race faster times will come. you will find friends and get motivated to be faster to compete with them, to go up a tier, to hear their congrats in forums and discord etc. and they will help you, practice with you, teach you etc. lot of places like this.

leagues is where ACC really shines IMHO.

Are there PUG races online for beginners who dont have an SA rating yet?

Would you be interested in some lobby sessions to practice and improve? I am a newbie who wants to go for clean and fast laps. :)

At Octane Online Racing we run a Rookie series for all drivers new to ACC, league racing or sim racing in general. Next season starts on April 26th. We run splits in Asia Pacific, North America and European timezones. Each split has a live race director who gives you all the info you need for racing, and the rules and live stewarding we run in the more serious leagues. If you want, check out our Discord at https://discord.gg/octaneonlineracing

I would be very careful about public servers, they can be very fraught and you can lose stacks of SA very quickyl through absolutely no fault of your own.

This game weighs heavily on any contact, and has no idea if you are doing anything deliberately so penalisez you equally aswell as the idiot who hits you.

You can easily go from 95 to 85 in a couple of races, meaning you might get ont he servers you want.

Be aware that in 80 servers there will be alinsn literally 5 or 6 seconds a lap faster than you, they are not playing the same game as you, they live this game as if they are being paid to do so, ignore them, theya re not worth your effort, but be aware in thoser servers if there are 30 cars there, you will be likely be 20th

cmon rob, I think it is time you stop looking at the aliens (that also play at zero SA servers too) and just care about it.
These guys that drive hours and hours per day just enjoy it more than you and enjoy the practice to improve more than you (also they are that better than you) and that is it.

The less you look at SA and at the alien times the more you will start to enjoy some of your driving experience.

I enjoy the game fine thanks, my pint being that if you go into higher ranking servers you will likely encounter the big groups that affect your SA rating the most, yes you will likely find people to race with, but maybe near the back and also not to a great standard in terms of cleanliness.

And I doubt aliens enjoy the game that much, most of the time they are sweating beyond belief, or going into rookie serves to win races by half a lap for some unknown reason
