This Series follows the guidelines listed in the Good Racecraft guide found here And the OLR found here. If that is not something that you can follow, then please find another series to race in.

Multi-Class Championship Series Overview

Multi Class Championship Series is a 2 Division series for Multi-Class and NASCAR racing. We want to allow for multiple skill levels to compete on the same track, at the same time. The series will operate on a points per race system, with a Class/ Race/ Division/ Overall Championship. The 2 Divisions will race on a bi-weekly basis.

Structure

As this will be a multiple Division series, with the option to run both Divisions for an overall champ and a Division champ, We will outline here the details for both Divisions, as well as the breakdown of Points, Season structure, and overall Series Structure.

Multi-Class Division

There are to be 3 Classes within this division: A top, mid, and low level class. Each of these divisions has specific requirements for your car, and each season these restrictions are subject to change depending on feedback from you. As this series is just starting, We will be hosting a special single event to kick off the season, with seeding into each class based on results from this pre-season event. See Season Schedule below for more details.

- Class A
This is the Advanced/ Top Level Class
This should have a maximum of 4 cars/ competitors

-Vehicle: LMP Class Cars (i.e. Bentley Speed 8, Toyota GT-One, Mazda 787B, etc)
-HP Cap: 750 (subject to change)
- Minimum weight of 850 kg
-Unlimited Setups/ no Addons
-No Drivers Aids, except ABS
-Same type of car required for each season, but not necessarily the same car. (i.e. everyone has to run a LM class vehicle and stick with it for the whole season, and then change it up for the next season)

- Class B
This is the Mid-Level Class
This should generally be the largest class of competitors, with a max of 8.

-Vehicle: Super GT500 Vehicles (see list here[thx GT5racecentral.com])
-Unlimited Setup/ no Addons
-No Drivers Aids, except ABS
-Same type of car required for each season, but not necessarily the same car. (i.e. everyone has to run a SuperGT car and stick with it for the whole season, and then change it up for the next season)

- Class C
This is the Learning/ Amateur Class
This class should be smaller than the mid-level Class, but not limited to any number of racers. We will generally have all new members begin in this class.

- Vehicle: Suzuki Cappuccino
-No Tuning other that Brake Balance
-No Drivers Aids, except ABS
-Same car required for all competitors each season (i.e. everyone has to run the Suzuki Cappuccino and stick with it for the whole season, and then change it up for the next season)


Graduation/ Moving Up

This Division will have a graduation system held to it, with specific checks required per season. This will go into effect after the first season, as we cannot apply this process until the first few races have been completed. Generally this graduation system will be as follows:

- At the end of each race, points, positions, and rankings will be posted.

At this time, Classes B & C will be evaluated and the following changes may be made:

- Any Class B racer who finishes in the last 2 positions for 2 consecutive weeks will be downgraded to Class C.
- Any Class C racer who places First or Second for 2 consecutive weeks will be promoted to Class B, unless Class B is full (max of 8 racers), or they wish to stay until the end of the season for points purposes.

- At the end of each Season:

The racer who places Last in Class A will be downgraded to Class B.

The racer who places First in Class B will be promoted to Class A.

The Last 2 Places in Class B will be downgraded to Class C.

The racer who places First in Class C will be promoted to Class B.

This system will allow for the most even competition amongst all classes, and still allow for continued growth amongst skill levels and encourage all to compete every week, as points are cumulative.

NASCAR Division

This Division is intended to be for anyone who wants to run in a well regulated NASCAR race on a bi-weekly basis. This Division will be held to a very strict HP/ Weight regulation, as well as a specs list for Downforce. We are attempting to recreate actual racing conditions at Daytona as of the last race ran there. (i.e. 2013 Daytona 500) Restrictions are to be based on acheiving exact lap times as Danica Patrick, polesitter for the last Daytona 500. As mentioned above, this Division will run on the off weeks for the Multi-Class Division, but still count for the overall championship points. This means that you can run only this Division, or both, and run for both championships respectively.

Restrictions

- 2010/2011 NASCARS are required.
- HP MAX of 600
- Weight max of 1565 kg
- Downforce set to 35 for Front and 60 for Rear (subject to change based on testing during Speedweeks)
- Open to all other tuning, but keep in mind we intend to run full length events with this series, so your specific tuning may make you slightly faster or slower, but longevity of tires and fuel used may be impacted by your choices.


Weekly Schedule

- Races will be held on a bi-weekly basis, so each Division will run on separate weeks to allow for competitors to run both Divisions.

Mondays: Practice will be held at 8PM EST for the Division racing that week.
Wednesdays: (Optional) Open Practice for both divisions. 8PM EST will be Multi-Class Practice. 9PM EST will be NASCAR Practice.
Thursdays:Race Day: Qualifying will begin at 8PM EST, with racing to begin at 8:20PM EST.


Race Issues

Real complaints are encouraged, as they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Issues should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race referee of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a replay review by a different referee. Any racing issues should be dealt with via private message within this forum, or private email via PSN, and not publicly within the race lobby.

Series Referees

TBD

Thanks and enjoy the Multi-Class Championship Series!

Points & Race Results​

We will be awarding point for both divisions on a race by race basis. The points given will be be different for each division, but should balance out between both, so that the overall championship will be not be weighted to favor one Division over another.

Multi-Class Points
The Multi-Class Division will be giving points on a per-race and overall finish basis. This means that you will earn points not only for your placing within your division, but also for your place overall for the finish (order of crossing finish line, or at time of running timeout if not finish posted number of laps)

- Class points per race:

2nd place: 7 points
3rd place: 5 points

7th & 8th (if applicable): 0 points

- Overall finish points per race:

1st place: 25 points
2nd place: 22 points
3rd place: 19 points
4th place: 17 points
5th place: 15 points

7th place: 11 points
8th place: 9 points

- There will also be a 2 point bonus given to pole position for a maximum of 36 points for each event.

At the end of each week , a ranking will be posted showing current standings for each Class, Division, and Overall Championship. We will also post results from each event, as well as a points breakdown, showing points earned and how they were earned, as well as qualifying times.

- Tiebreakers, if needed, will be determined on a bi-weekly basis. They will be based on the highest finishing position between the last 2 races. If still tied, the racer who had the fastest qualifying time on the lower finishing of their previous 2 races will be declared the winner.

Open Practice tonight!

Come out and work on your setups for the Multi-Class Division or NASCAR with us, or just hang out. Lobby will be open at 8, should be starting with Multi-Class, and then changing over to NASCAR at 9PM.

Hope to see you on the track!
 
Looking for some feedback on this Series.

Obviously we have not had a lot of turnout/ interest in this series, so I am trying to gather feedback to see what sort of changes should be made to increase interest and thus increase membership. I feel like the concept is pretty solid, and I think the schedule is pretty good, but obviously something is not great, so...

I am open to shifting some things around/ making changes to the overall concept to attract more peeps. I'm also willing to work with the schedule a little bit to get some more people. I have already updated the practice/ race schedule. Let me know if this helps.

Please let me know what you think needs to change to grow this Series.

Thanks,

Casa
 
My honest feedback would be that the format may be too complicated. Even if it's not, your postings make it look.complicated. I would work on cleaning up your posts.

Also, nobody wants to be the first to sign up. Starting a league from scratch without having specific people in mind to sign up, is next to impossible
 
Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to probably split the divisions into 2 different posts, and then make this one the homepage/ scorecard/ standings page. I'm trying to get as much info out there as possible so that we have fewer questions once the series actually starts. Guess its overwhelming if you hop in and just start reading.

Thanks again.
 
Done.

I have gone ahead and split the 2 Divisions off of the homepage. The NASCAR Division is now here, and the Multi-Class Division is now here. Check it out and let me know what you think, and come join if it fits what you're looking for.

Hope to see you on the track!
 
Feedback:

We are still looking for some honest feedback on this Series. I have received some feedback regarding the layout of the pages for the Series, so I have gone ahead and seperated the 2 divisions into their own pages, Multi-Class and NASCAR, and I have also cleaned up the format for both divisions, and the overall series. Hopefully this will ease some of the questions we may have received regarding the setup of the series.

I have a question for you guys regarding the scheduling of the series. I am considering holding races on Wednesday instead of Thursday, or possibly holding one Division's race on Wednesday, and the other Division's race on Thursday. Let me know what you guys think.
 
Open Practice Tonight!

Room's Open! ID is 1472-6118-3916-1738-4889.

Hope to see you on the track!
