Penalty System & Stewards:​

Stewards are rolo912011, skengdigi and priesty_lfc. Please PM the stewards via GTPlanet or PSN regarding on-track incidents. Do NOT publicly address the issue with the other driver(s) involved.

You will be issued a warning if your driving is perceived to be unacceptable in a certain incident - this means you are automatically given 2 penalty points.

You will be banned for one race meeting if you earn 6 penalty points during the season. (i.e. 3 warnings)

You will be banned for the rest of the season if you earn 10 penalty points during the season. (i.e. 5 warnings)

Time penalties are not normally associated with a warning, but it is at the stewards' discretion. If you have already received a warning during a race, you will be issued time penalties for any further rule breaks during that race (of at least 5 seconds each).

Pitting too early or too late incurs a 10-second penalty. Failing to pit at all means a 30-second penalty.

Off-track behaviours can also be penalised. Please respect other drivers off the track (on GTP or PSN), as well as on it. Championship points can be deducted if a drivers' behaviour is considered disrespectful or offensive. There are no maximum limits to the points deductions! We're all here to have fun and ultimately, we're all playing a video game. Let's all have good-spirited racing. :) 👍

count me in. I'll take the scion.

Gotta ask, why the change to fast tyre wear???
Click to expand...

👍

It's subject to change, so it could be Normal again, but I just feel the cars are too grippy for the tyres to wear out much on Normal. They're really quite easy to drive, in my view.
 
tuning prohibited sounds very cool, but how do you enforce the rule? or you just refer to parts tuning and not setups?
 
I love the idea of a Touring Car Championship for this...
Always loved the Touring Cars, wheel-to-wheel racing.

However, I'd like to offer some thoughts;

- Different tracks for different races, and a random weather setup (we may have to pit for wet tires).
- Maybe a night race in the season (like in 90s BTCC).
- A larger range of cars to take part (but there is a BHP/PP/Weight Limit), like Ford Focus, etc.
- Racing Tyres to be used within races, as it is a racing series, remember...
- Allow cars to be modified to Race Spec, but not to go higher than the PP Limit.

Apart from that, I love the ideas, and I think I might have to take part (being a huge BTCC fan myself)! :)

There is an option in the room settings that you can select; "tuning prohibited" 👍

Only settings you can change is the brake balance. You can still do oil change, engine/chassis rebuild and change the stock rims as well

1. Yes there could be a round with changeable weather, we have that in current BTCC.
2. Yes it's an idea in the pipeline for a night race. Likely to be Sarthe 2009.
3. We already do - see the BTCC-4 thread in 'Racing Series'. A long-established and fairly successful touring car series, of which this one-make championship is a spin-off.
4. Possibly, although even with Sports:Softs these cars are remarkably grippy it seems when stock. Racing tyres may be a step too far.
5. This series is a one-make, stock championship, so no tuning. 👍

I can put you down for a space if you'd like? :)
 
Having fun, karsten? :)

Tell me more about what you think of the car - enough power? Easy to drive?
 
it's very good and grippy. i feel that players with manual gearing will have a great advantage due to the uber long default gearing. the car is fast enough, drives well on wet (on nurb i was at 10% at night no prob) and behaves in a very predictable way.

The more you drive it more speed you find.

what about running a few laps rolo?

It just seems to be the same tracks apperaring over and over again.....particularly in the case of Grand Valley & Deep Forrest.

Lots of other good tracks in there that we haven't raced on (or at least i haven't since i joined you guys on BTCC).

Fuji
Rome
Cape Ring
Laguna Seca (I know that one is to come this season)
Tokyp R246
Special Stage Route 5
Eiger Nordwand
Motegi (DLC - so not really convenient to pick it)
Cote D'Azur
Daytona Road Course

Don't change the track list just because of me :sly:. I enjoy racing with you guys so will more than likely be keeping my entry:tup:
 
Maybe we can do a vote for tracks for this series if we get enough participants.

Since its a short season , just an idea .
 
Tokyo would be a good track, plus its in Japan and this is a Japanese series with Japanese cars.💡
 
Done :)

Now moved to Racing Series forum, as this will be getting underway soon!

Calendar Vote:

Please PM me 6 tracks you would like to see in the calendar, in preference order.

I will score them using the old 10-6-4-3-2-1 F1 points system.

The 6 tracks with the most votes will form the calendar.

Voting ends 21st March!
