ATC... Whenever that tag is mentioned all we ever seem to hear is.. "Air Training Corps?". To which we always reply "Don't be a tit" or on the polite occasions "sod off".

So if not Air Training Corps. What on earth can ATC Stand for i hear you asking. Well the truth is it means lots of things. for ATC is a multi gaming team. Some things it stands for are listed here:

• ATC  : A Touring Car
  
• ATC  : Air Traffic Control
  
• ATC  : Advanced Tactical Commandoes
• ATC  : All Totally Crazy (our favourite!)

Why? Why not!. What is the point in keeping to a single name. tying yourself down to one type of team or game. The entire point of ATC is to be casual as a team and simply "do what we want" . Some nights we will play a racing sim. Other nights we might have a round of golf. If we are in a bad mood we will go off and blow up some tanks or shoot some AI enemys. What ever it is we are doing, its being done without any strings attached.

So that sums us up really. We are a multi gaming. Multi national, Multi accent team. some of us are british, Some are irish. Some are even canadianish!. BUT we are all in to a bit of Gay Ming, and thats what counts.

I guess its time to find out about our history. So here we go.

It all started off waaaaay back at the end of 2003, There was alot of people about back then playing on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 / 2004. It was seen to be a good bit of fun. But to make it a bit more interesting, the team founder (Franky500) liked to do a bit of Air Traffic Controlling. This went down well with the members of the FS community and people began to visit the server frequently.

2004 was a very good year for us. We took on some new members and carried on enjoying the gaming. We also took on new members: Rogue, Gag, Serpentine, DrDink, Quicksilver, Decks, Toe, Micky V4forlife and Widdowmaker Much of this was part of us becomming members of the Clean Racers Club for Live For Speed.

2005 We took on Geoff, Bazzer and Bandit.  We also had our first ATC Lan Party which was kindly hosted by Widdowmaker.

2006. More generally gaming and another lan party this time hosted by ATC Rogue.

2007 was a year that was very quiet for us, Many of us were moving around in jobs and what not. We lost some of our members during this year (check the members list out to work out which ones).

2008. Another very quiet year. But we all stuck together and got through it.

2009.   This is now. Check the recent news out. But we are here, and we are going strong. Prepare for an EPIC comeback!!!.
