Thursday Night BMW Racing
Introduction
This is the unofficial spinoff of the stillborn BMW M League.
Since there was a lot of initial interest in the series I'd like to keep things going 👍
First of all, this is not a race series. This is a informal racing night for BMW enthusiasts.
There will be no points.- There will be no qualifying.
- There will be no reviewing replays to hand out penalties.
- This is purely for fun!
- There will be multiple races per night
Car Regulations:
Street BMW's Only, no racecars
All of the cars listed at this link are allowed with the following exceptions:
320i Touring Car '03- M3 GTR Race Car '01
- McLaren F1 GTR Race Car '97
- V12 LMR Race Car '99
- 500pp limit
- Tires restricted to Sport Medium
No aero partsEdit: Aero parts now OK- All other mods OK
- You do not have to stick to one car for these events. In fact, switching up your cars in strongly encouraged 👍
Race Format and Lobby Regulations:
Standard OLR rules will apply. Violators will be kicked from the room.- Grip Reduction set to "real"
- All assists off (except ABS)
- Race order set to reverse of previous race finish
- Penalties off
- Fuel consumption and tire wear on
- Damage light
- Mics will be on for practice, but please turn them off for the race
The room will be opened around 5:00pm (17:00)PDT and I will host for 2-3 hours. The room will not be fixed host, so if anyone wants to keep it going longer they are more than welcome to. As mentioned above, there will be multiple races and I was thinking of keeping them around 15-20min in length. This should be long enough to not feel the need to pile into the first turn, and also make tire wear a bit of a consideration.
Although this isn't a true series, there should be an end date so we don't have to watch it slowly fade away as interest dies out as it often does with any race series. I'm thinking about running these until the end of May, so May 26th would be the last event.
The track list is still to be decided also. I would like to limit the number of tracks raced on each night so people can setup their cars and learn the track if needed. Whether it's 1, 2, or more tracks I'm not sure at this point, but I would like to keep them to the more realistic tracks. No Top Gear Test Track, and nothing with jumps
Any other input or suggestions are welcome except the tire and PP settings; these are set in stone and not up for discussion. That should save about 10 pages from this thread
While this "series" isn't going to require formal signups, please post up if you're planning on joining in on the fun and I'll keep a list going in this post.
