Welcome to the test season of the NASCAR Dodge/Mobil 1 Series! Before I make this a regular series and apply to become a GTPlanet NASCAR series, I wanted to "test the waters" so to say with it to see if it could draw some grids.
The idea is a series based somewhat vaguely on ARCA. I was wondering about a month ago how to make it work when I realized something 💡
While Chevy, Ford, and Toyota have always been around the GTP NASCAR league, bear in mind that there was/has been a 4th manufacturer in NASCAR who has never really been given much love around here. I'm talking, of course, about Dodge
So, exactly what car will we be driving? The Dodge Challenger SRT8 Touring Car!
All races will be held Saturdays at 1PM eastern time, with the room opening at 12PM for practice and 12:40 will be Qing time, starting on December 8th and continuing every week until December 29th.

Rules and procedures
-The races will be hosted by moi in a public lobby. It isn't required, but friending ganon83 on PSN is recomended. Anybody who shows up in the lobby can race, as long as they have the Dodge.
-The room opens an hour before the race for practice, with the Qing starting 20 minutes before the race.
-The cars will have a reduced BHP output of 483 and a min. weight of 1450 KG for all 8races.
-Tires must be Racing Mediumswill be set to normal.
-The only two driver aids allowed are ABS (However it cannot exceed 1) and the driving line (Not recomended, and can only be used at road courses).
-Fuel and tire consumption will be on.
-Boost is off.
-Damage is set to light with no visual damage.
-Slipstream is weak.
-It's OK (and expected) to let off of the gas (or brake) so you don't run over someone in a turn. This is especially true at Daytona and SS Route X, where drafting can cause lots of issues with people being run over in corners.
-Bumpdrafting is legal, brake-checking isn't.
-Bump and running is legal, wrecking isn't.
-Although the race steward can penalize based off of what he sees, it is encouraged to inform the steward about possible infringements of the rules.
-There are no cautions, so drive smart.
-Microphones are on (Unless they Danica and mess up the racing too much) and room quality is on standard.
-All penalties are decided on by the race steward.
Pace laps, pitting, and quallifying
-Quallifying is different in this series in that there is single lap qualifying which sets up a qually race equal to 10% of the race distance.
-When the room is reset for qually, everyone must make final adjustments before heading out onto the track. When you head onto the track DO NOT leave pit road until I inform you to.
-When your name is called at random please come out and line up behind the race steward in the first turn after the pits. There are two people on track at once; the steward will inform you when to go.
-The final starting order is determined by the qually race.
-Every race has a single pace lap. Pace speed is set according to track. The start of the race will be 2 cars wide with the oddies on the inside, the evens on the outside
-Of course, the rules are different for SSRX. There is a 1 lap quallifying race with the start order being randomized with a computer program. The "pace lap" at SSRX ends at the 4000 mark on the frontstrech.
-In every main race, every driver must make 1 mandatory pit stop. Jeff Burton Clause: This pit stop cannot be on the pace lap or coming to get the checkers.
