OFFICIAL EVENT SPREADSHEET
Many of the GTP community know of the Race of Champions, held every year at the end of the motorsport calender in which champions from race series across the globe compete against each other to claim the coveted title of Champion of Champion. It is a grueling test of a drivers ability to adapt to multiple different cars in a short period of time and their ability to keep their cool in very short races on a a very short and frantic circuit.
Well, I have decided to create what is (currently) a one off event, the gtplanet.net GT5 Race of Champions. This is a one day event for the people who have entered, competed in and conquered gtplanet.net's countless race series. They will be put through the same challenge as their real life counter parts, adapting to unfamiliar cars, mastering a challenging circuit and keeping their cool for the whole event.
Eligibility
- To enter into the ROC, you must be either a previous or reigning champion of any of GTPlanets racing series. THe series must of had a reasonable amount of entrants in each race (about 10 in each race).
- You may enter into the event if you are not champion but you must of competed in a GTP championship and placed well and of had good pace. These driver will be allowed in if there are open slots left and no more champions join up.
- I am entered by default, even though I am not a champion, because the whole event system thingy only works with 16 drivers, of which the host, myself, is one.
Cars
The cars play a major part in any motorsport and it is the same in the ROC. During each heat, both competing drivers will use the same car. Car tuning will be prohibited so that no driver gains an advantage through car setup. The car categories are:- Formula - Formula Gran Turismo - Self-supplied - Racing Softs - 700 BHP
- LMP/Group C - Toyota Minolta - Self-supplied - Racing Softs - 600 BHP
- GT Car - Super GT Nissan GT-R - Recommended Garage - Racing Hards
- Touring car - TESTING IN PROCESS - Self-supplied - Racing X - X BHP
- NASCAR - 2011 Chevrolet NASCAR - Recommended Garage - Racing Softs
- Rally Car - Citroen C4 WRC '08 - Recommended Garage - Racing Softs
- ROC Buggy - Suzuki GSXR/4 - Self-supplied - Racing Hards - X BHP
Heats
- Each head-to-head race is officially called a heat.
- The cars for each heat will be decided using this website: http://www.random.org/lists/
The entrants will each say a number and an average will be taken to determine the chosen class. Same does not apply for the final where the most exciting classes seen will be chosen. - The two drivers will have 3 minutes to produce the best lap possible. The fastest driver starts on pole.
- The two competitors will then race over 2 laps (3 in the grand finals) and the winner will progress.
Event stages
- The first stage is the groups. In this stage, you will race each of the four drivers in your group in a 7 lap race with a 5 minute qualifying race before hand.
- The two drivers that progress out of each group are the drivers that have the place first and second. If one driver gains a position forcefully and does not then yield, they will be disqualified from the race and not progress if they are in the top two. Same applies if someone passes from second to first. It has no effect on who goes to the next stage but basic etiquette is expected from GTPs finest.
- In the quarter finals, the remaining 8 drivers are paired up based on their finish position in the groups. The winner of Group A race runner up of Group B and vice versa. The same applies for Groups C and D. They will then have a 2 lap race for each heat with a 3 minutes qualifying session prior.
- In the semi-finals, the remaining 4 drivers are paired up as before. Winner of Semi A against winner of Semi B and the same for C and D. Same procedure as the quarter finals.
- The winners of these two heats will progress to the final. The runners up will race each other for the honor of third. These two finals will consist of three heats in a best-of-three format. The first too take two victories wins.
- There may be a short time to chill out and have some drifting before these two finals.
