Requirements
Well so far this is a fledgeling championship, rules have not been deiced along with some of the other fine details, this will be implemented soon. If you are interested I ask of several things:

  1. Must act mature.
    This is the first rule, all members must act mature and be respectful of others, otherwise you will be asked to leave.

  2. Must speak a good level of English
    As this is a competition for European players we ask that a good standard of English is known by all players.

  3. Must Race Clean.
    Racing must be clean and legal, no ramming or cutting corners. Points will be detected from players for infractions see below
    (Give places back if wrongly took, and remember blue flags let leaders pass).

  4. No rage quitting.
    Players must not rage quit, players can leave though for emergency ect.

  5. Cars must be registered on here for each driver, one car per driver for all 18 races.
    Only one car per driver, one week before first event every driver will be asked to register their car and color.

  6. Tuning is allowed as much as you want.
    Cars can be tuned there is no limit as long as it meets PP.

  7. Cars can be given fresh oil, cleaned, engine rebuild as well as rigidity of the body can be restored at any time.
    This one is self explanatory.

  8. The pit lane will be open.
    Each player must pit so no cheating. Over the race every player will be required to enter the pit and stop, this can happen as many times as you like. Though due to the long endurance races we will hold, your tyres will wear over the distance, so pitting will be important.

  9. No Tyre restrictions.
    Like tuning all tires can be used some races will be wt others will be dry.


  10. Before each race 15 minuets will be given for setting up cars and qualifying.
    All drivers will qualify before race this will benefit you when the race starts.

  11. Damage will be on.
    Be careful and aware of others not only will it ruin your race but the race of others offenders will loose points if repeatably do this.

  12. Penalties will be set to lowest setting
    This one is self explanatory.

  13. Grip reduction will be set to Real.
    This just makes it feel like real racing.

  14. Tyre and fuel depletion will be on.
    This one is self explanatory.

  15. Racing line will be used/available.

  16. PP will be set to 430.



Points System

Every race will have a points system see below:

  1. 8 points
  2. 7 points
  3. 6 points
  4. 5 points
  5. 4 points
  6. 3 points
  7. 2 points
  8. 1 points

Places 9-16 0 points .

1 additional point for fastest lap in the race.

If you cause an accident you will lose 3 points, if you have 0 points you will enter minus points. for any queried infractions PM an admin, and we will look at the saved replay.

Track List

Below is the list of tracks which will be featured in this series. each track was given a number so that a random number generator could select the tracks to determine a random race order. You will also notice that some races will be longer, this is because each race is 50 miles long, there for depending on the track, the number of laps will increase or decrease to meet the 50 mile distance. As a result each race should take the same time to complete.

I think the "No Quitting" rule is a bit harsh. What if someone has to get off and go for dinner or get off the PS3 for a sibling to go on? Maybe change it to "No Rage quitting".

Interesting series, what time zone are you? I might be interested but I just have to find out my work schedules first!

EDIT: 100th Post :D
 
Thanks for the input shall change it now. :crazy: Timezone is Europe so anything outside of that would be a problem, I am from the UK and the other admin is from Finland. We have not fully decided on times this can be somewhat flexible.

EDIT: just realized you are from Gloucestershire same here :crazy:

Perfect. If I'm free on the race dates I'll be able to join (as long as it's 8:30 GMT onwards). My PSN is the same as my GTP ;)
 
Well done, to be honest we need to keep the same cars as they do in most motorsport. though you can tune as much as you want. Oh and i shall be on in an hour or two need to do a few chores first.
 
Sounds interesting to me :D

1. When ? Is my main question. Time shouldn´t be a problem if its on Sundays (but not too late). During the Week is a bit problematic for me (due to work).

2. What is the pp limit :D ?

If I can join I would like to use the Honda Beat.
 
Yes you are correct about 460-470, you can use any car on the list, i removed the cars which are to fast to level the playing field. Sounds good, KingSakery I shall add you too the members list. Oh and finally welcome.
 
i prefer cornering over speed, however look at the race list some tracks are fast wile some are twisty, so which ever you choose you will advantaged or disadvantaged.
 
Yeah bud @coxbox , sorry actually meant to post here but posted on the other thread by mistake lol. So yep, im interested. Are you's racing yet? What should I do? and what time is racing?

im looking for something 8pm UK time-ish
 
Rambo welcome, the rules are easy just have a look at the first post, we are not racing yet, need a minimum of 8 drivers. We will be racing from about 8:30 in the UK every sunday and races should last about 30-40 mins.

Racing now? Lets see if I can make it.

SOunds good buddy. Count me in. And I know of a couple who could join, I'll be sure to mention you folks to them :)

Just a side question. We race in K cars right? Is it gonna be that way throughout, or will you perhaps evolve and move on to a larger variety of cars ?

Anyway, looking forward to racing with you guys :)
 
Hello Rambo thanks for the reply. at the moment we will just be racing in K-cars, however if this series is a success then of course other cups and championships can be run alongside.

The main reason we are using K-Cars is because too many people race online in the same cars, i think of this championship as back to basics racing. We are still in the server so you are more then welcome to join, however not everybody is using k-cars, but the members of this championship are.

Sounds interesting...

greestlightnin here,

greest_lightnin on PSN.

I'm thinkin' OFC-1 Concept.

Have a friend that very well may be interested, I'll pass the info on...
 
A bit late which will cause me to not make it always (due to work).
If that´s a problem put me on Reserve and I´ll jump in if someones missing.

Sure i can do this or we could just add you as a part time driver, you can still take part in the championship, just you will only revive points for the races you attend. :)

If I'm thinking right, 8:30 GMT should be 3:30 EDT, correct? That in itself is no problem. My only issue is that I am subject to being mandated to work on occaision.

List me as a replacement, and I'll join if the room isn't full. (And I don't have to work:yuck:)
 
Sounds cool, SP33DYO2011 and i'll be usin the Suzuki ALTO WORKS SUZUKI SPORT LIMITED '97,


Welcome SP33DYO2011 thanks for joining i shall add you to the members list.

Greestlightnin, this sounds good, what i may do is add you as a part time racer. You will still be able to race when you can and still revive points , you just wont be full time. By doing that you race when you can.
 
Well thanks to greestlightnin I guess I could do this. A couple quick questions though. Is 8:30 GMT, am or pm? Who said Americans do not like Kei Cars, because I could give you a list with about 20 americans who like Kei Cars :lol:.

it is PM, I was not saying Americans do not like Kei cars, I was just surprised that Americans are interested in a European hosted event, because usually due to the timezone this may cause problems. If you are interested please post back, as then i can add you to the members list.

Thanks for your interest Coxbox.
