GTP NASCAR Nationwide Series // Season Report/Points // Champions!

[kenkwilinski]

100% I will be 👍

I expect all RCR NW Driver's Championship drivers to be racing this Saturday's DRIVE4COPD 300! And I wish them all the best of luck 👍

Also. Is 2/3 points on offer for standing in for a driver who can't make a race?

I honestly am not too keen on allocating 2/3 points for a driver who isn't even racing. If the rest of the field can be bothered to turn up, why should a guy who didn't turn up get points.

However, I will follow with the Sprint Cup ways of doing things to keep some consistency. You may drop one race from races 2-9 but not the season opener or finale (1 or 10).

Will the point for pole work the same as in sprint cup? (whoever gets the fastest time gets the point regardless off where they actually start)

I would ideally like the pole lap to gain pole position but again for consistency, I will go with the Sprint Cup's way of doing things so the fastest lap is the pole lap regardless of starting position.

In the case of Winter Testing, Trynor got the pole lap with his race setup so that worked out well. If Trynor got the fastest lap in qualifying and changed to his race setup and starts at the back, he still wins the pole lap point.

So who will I be racing with on Saturday?

I was thinking about asking team owners to tell me who their 3 drivers were for each weekend but that may indeed be difficult.

Just because its lower rank doesnt mean there still isnt a risk.

Jakob, a couple of us stood up for you and helped give you a chance to race with us again. Don't ruin it with repeated begging and pleading in here. You will get your chance to show your improvements in a couple weeks, keep practicing until then and show everyone that you can race us clean.

 

[JakobNascar88]

i was waiting to race the 300 now i can't. its ok


Edited: The SSRX race was 01-21-12 which 2 months ago. I am sorry that I was begging. Not I am not trying to breg. The drivers in SC told me to go the Nationwide Series so I can get better.

Gents, as Race Director of the IndyCar Series here on GTP I'm inviting you guys to join us in our championship race this weekend; 80 laps at Daytona. We want a full grid to make our finale as spectacular as possible!

Check out the rules and regs and post on the thread if you are interested in joining us on Friday, the times are on the OP 👍

I've been exceedingly busy all week man, apologies.

I haven't downloaded from you yet. I probably will get around to it this weekend. I have tried creating some courses but nothing seems awesome. The best I can do is a Tokyo track that turns left. All eifel and toscana tracks have too much elevation and bumps (cough.....Darlington). But I would certainly like to see what you came up with 👍

Definitely gonna have a peek this weekend. Just been busy working from 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday.

Can't make the finale tonight Tom as I'm going to be playing some COD with mates.

Pathetic excuse

Ironically you have COD in your PSN name

Did make it 3 years ago though

Tad quiet in here, 4 hours until free practice. Should have a big grid for the 300 👍

 

[Carbonox]

Geez, I appear to only have 2 hours between my next online race and the beginning of NW's free practice to do my chores. ^^

 

[Cowboys965]

I think communication will be tough tonight.

 

[kenkwilinski]

How many drivers can race today? 15? Then minus 12 regulars = 3 sprint cup drivers from any team? If so, then which cup drivers? And DoWhat or I will race with our team.

Your team has 3 seats for the race today, fill them how you wish.

EDIT: I'm not sure what the stance is on Sprint Cup drivers who aren't replacing an absent team mate. 4 cars might give you an unfair advantage in the team standings as you'll have more chance of a higher finish.

EDIT 2: There's 15 regulars anyway, 5x3 so no extra drivers unless you're replacing somebody in your team.

 

[kenkwilinski]

👍 gotcha

 

[Knelly]

Dave can't make tonight. Niop and I have known a while but left it till today just in case plans changed. Therefore we will have only two cars on track tonight.

So no stream tonight?

 

[Knelly]

Niop is streaming rather than racing, and I can't make it, so two cars only are Chqr and Trynor.

Trollolololol. COD night is Friday night for me. Might do a trucks race only if its an oval though. Indy is too late for me, sorry man.

Knelly, I could try and grab someone who is a rl friend of mine. Unlikely he'll want a race but gave him a nudge.

Awesome, thanks man.

 

[DrifterJoe]

PMs sent, RWR.

 

[Harry17]

Hey keaan, can I still join?

 

[Müle]

I may be a bit late getting in, depending on how long the GT3/GT4 race goes.

 

[Chqr]

Hey keaan, can I still join?

Send a pm to the team owners. Send one to Knelly if you can fill in for Dave today.

Mini vouch for Harry.

Harry is a rl friend of mine. He is a clean racer and a few guys may remember him from Nationwide testing earlier this year. He's a clean racer with lots of experience but new to GTPlanet. Its his birthday today too

 

[cgr-10]

Happy birthday man, welcome to GTP 👍
