Next race starts in
The sign-ups for the second season are open!
For anyone interested in the replays, they are available online.
Welcome SNAIL drivers and anyone else that may be interested.
I currently run a little parity series on Tuesday nights. And I've come up with an idea for a series to run on Tuesday nights during most of July. This thread is to explore that idea, garner interest, and launch this idea.
The Idea
This will be a racing series that runs four weeks during July, on Tuesday evenings, 10:00 p.m. Eastern. It will be on the 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st.
There will be two groups of people involved in this. These two groups will be vying for points separately.
Constructors
We are looking for three to seven people to be the Constructors. Constructors will build a car to the regulations we set. They will then assemble a team of two to four drivers according to the policies we set. Constructors will win points for their cars.
It really is that simple.
Drivers
Drivers will be grouped into teams of two to four drivers, depending on interest. They will be tasked to run races over four weeks in a car built by one of the Constructors. They will be asked not to change the settings at all. They will win points individually, and they will win points for their Constructor.
It really is that simple.
Rules
- Teams
- Teams may run the same car, or a different car per driver.
- Teams may tune and re-tune a car as many times as they want during the season, and even between rounds on the same evening.
- Constructors
- Constructors will be primarily responsible for building the cars to be raced. They can take driver input, but their decision for set up is final.
- Constructors will be responsible for drafting Drivers.
- Drivers
- Drivers will respect the setup as prescribed by the Constructors. They may give input, but Constructors' decisions are final.
- Drivers will respect the GT Planet OLR, and will be subject to disqualification.
- Drivers may have a chance to test cars from different teams before the draft. Any knowledge of another team's setup should be kept confidential.
- Drivers may be traded if their driving style does not work well with the Constructor's tuning style (and there are other drivers with whom to be traded). Any knowledge of another team's setup should be kept confidential.
- Regulations
- Cars
- All cars must be front or mid-front engine.
- All cars must only be rear wheel drive.
- All cars must have no more than 305 HP with no less than 97% engine limiting.
- All cars must have a weight of no less than 1,100 Kg with no more than 50 Kg of ballast.
- Cars may have any tires up to Sports Soft
- Cars from established tuning garages, such as Spoon and AEM, are prohibited.
- Concept cars are prohibited.
- Race cars are prohibited, this includes Race Modified, Touring Cars.
- For races, the body must be painted in a shade of the team's color.
- Once a car has been entered into the series, it can not be replaced. The tune may be adjusted, and drivers on the same team may swap cars, but the cars must remain in the series. So, if a team decided to run only FDs, they can't replace one of them with an FC. Or, if the team decided to run one FC and one FD, they can't switch over to run only FDs.
