- Guelph, Ontario
This is an interest check for a 50 mile race at Apricot Hill.
I got the idea from Matej and his 100km Deep Forest race.
This race is going to be a bit shorter to help people with the memory card problem, and it will have a special system for car choices to jumble things around a bit.
Instead of people picking whatever cars they wanted, I will do a draw for each person, I will draw a country, (Or a bunch or smaller countries.) and a drivetrain type, FR, MR/RR, and 4WD.
This will ensure that there will be a wide variety of cars entering.
The second part of it is that the older the car, the better the p/w ratio is allowed to be.
2.75 for cars at the year 2000 and go down .007 for every year older.
So a new NSX might be allowed 420hp at 1155kg, and an old 60s Corvette might be allowed 522hp at 1300kg instead of the regular 472hp.
2000-1963=37
37X.007=.259
2.75-.259=2.491
1300/2.491=522
This will help older cars stay in the running.
And older cars will be allowed better suspension, the NSX would only be allowed sports shocks whilst the Corvette will get a full racing setup.
If you want to enter, PM me before next Monday (16th).
After the deadline I'll pull the countries and drivetrain type, and then you will have until the 22nd to get times in.
(If you are late to the party you can still run, but it you will have less time to choose your car and tune it.)
Thanks to AMG for the track map.
Edit: Car regulations.
Any car that is not race modified, and or from tuner village.
Power:
2.75 for cars at the year 2000 and go down .007 for every year older.
Suspension:
Cars built before and at the year 1970 will get racing suspension.
Cars built at and in between 1971 and 1989 will get semi-racing suspension.
Cars built at and after 1990 will only get sports suspension.
Tires:
Sport hard tires are the only type allowed.
Misc:
No wings or NOS allowed.
Any other modifications are allowed.
(Copy pasted from Matejs 100km race.)
In order to participate go to Original Circuit / Apricot Hill (Reverse version) / Race Meeting (Track Meet in NTSC version). As soon as you start from a pit lane you will have one warm-up lap before timer starts counting your laps. After that, run 21 laps and, as soon as you complete the 21st lap (in other words, you will enter lap 22) exit the race and head straight to Save Replay option. Time shown there will be your submission via PM to Bopop4. You can submit as many times as you wish, and I'll count your best time.
You should keep two wheels on the track all the time (rumble strips are part of the track) and avoid collision with AI cars or walls as much as possible.
Wall-riding and any other cheat driving methods are forbidden.
This challenge will run only once so, as soon as we pronounce our winner, competitors will have no more obligations for this challenge.
Deadline for the submission is the 22nd of July, 2012.
Current entries:
Bopop4: FR/USA
shotamagee: MR/RR/USA
thc118: 4WD/Japan
Matej: 4WD/Japan

When you choose your car, post it and what the weight and power are.

. Oh well, time to find other Skyline models - N1 stripped versions comes to mind. Or maybe Evo VI RS. As soon as I do some testing I will pronounce my choice.
