And yet another month flies by with way too much sim racing news to even keep up with. Big new titles are on the horizon or have been released. An OG studio gets back an OG developer, and hardware - well, there's enough to get completely confused and not know what to buy! But thankfully, we are here, and the OverTake team and community have got your back. Let's dive right into what's happening in the community this month!
We say the word "community" a lot around here, but our end goal is to give it more meaning - what's the point of a word if it doesn't mean anything?! That is why we are super proud to be launching a brand new "Community Review Program".
It is a fairly simple concept: we send you the hardware, you try it out, write an article about it, and then keep it! Sounds like a pretty good deal, right? Stay tuned for all the details in the next few days.

Head on over to the forum and the Overtake Discord and check out the "share-your-liveries" channel. More details on prizes and entry details to come in the next few days.

If you haven't given it a try, by all means, give it a spin! It is free to all premium members, so why not get an edge in your races? Oh, and there are leaderboards for most combinations, so test yourself against other overtake members!
Want to try your luck? Head on over to the Forum Thread and post your predictions for the next F1 races. 1st prize wins a full year of premium access!
Current standings as of Round 5.
Our very own @Jimmi Allison sums it up nicely:
Some very encouraging numbers from the last few weeks!
Assetto Corsa: 334
rFactor 2: 127
Le Mans Ultimate: 216
So if you haven't already, get in there are try out the Racing Clubs. There are races on a variety of sims almost every night of the week.
And that concludes the Community Letter for this month. We wish you all happy racing, modding, DIYing, or just chatting and hanging out, until next month.
