Midfield Race Series Season Review

[Zero]

Allright, I am going to make a Midfield Race series in a few weeks that uses the A, S, and Rally garages. Each race week will have a wednesday practice session, a thursday qualifing session and a friday race session. During the race week you, the competors will get to chose 1 car out of a series of cars, for example one week might have the JGTC cars, where you can choose from the Calsonic Skyline, Denso Sard Supra, Arta NSX, and the other JGTC cars.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DONE ALL OF ARCADE MODE

Post the name of the car you are going to use for the race in the race thread.

Rules:
1. Absolutely no cheating, if you are caught cheating via fake times you will be kicked out of the series your points will get redistributed throughout the field.
2. Try not to go off the track
3. ASM and TCS must be off!
4. You must use the same car as you qualified with, no changing cars during the race week.

There will be some super stage events like in WRC where you driving ability will be put to the test on rally courses which will be announced at a later date.

Submission of Times:
All times should be sent to this email. In your submission you must include your total time, your fastest lap, and each lap time. The Wednesday Practice session's times may be posted in the thread for that race. Thursday qualifing will also be posted in the thread for that race.

Points:
Like most race series this one will be using the NASCAR point system, but with a few changes

1. 175
2. 170
3. 165
4. 160
5. 155
6. 150
7. 146
8. 142
9. 138
10. 134
11. 130
12. 127
13. 124
14. 121
15. 118
16. 115
17. 112
18. 109
19. 106
20. 103
21. 100
22. 97
23. 94
24. 91
25. 88
26. 85
27. 82
28. 79
29. 76
30. 73 (if I get that many people)

Changes:
1. The Pole winner will receive an extra 5 points.
2. The person with the fastest lap in the race will also receive 5 points extra.

Practice and Qualifing:
These should be done in Arcade Mode Free Run using the car you will use in the race itself.

The Race:
Each person should start in 6th, the standard starting position, no one should actually qualify for the race.

I would persume the start of this series to be in early to mid January.

hopefully I can get more great racers like yourself, GVX to participate in this series of mine.

 

[Jayjitsu]

Yeah - count me in too.
I like the format of this challenge...

 

[Kelly]

Not such a great racer but plenty of enthusiasm so count me in !

 

[Zero]

Allright you 4 are signed up, I am not going to take part because I believe it to be unfair for the organiser of the race series to take part in it, since I would know which cars are best, the laps etc before hand.

Change! Mr persistance talked me into racing!

 

[Zero]

I am thinking of a 6 race schedule. 1 A Special Stages then 4 S races. I have already tested and found out most of the A, and S garage cars that will be used.

YES!!! Definitely no CHEATING...........

 

[Rice Rocketeer]

i didn't mean that in a bad way i just wanted to emphasize that.........

 

[Jayjitsu]

I don't know about 16 races ZC. That would drag on for a long time. I'd prefer 4-5 races max.

The idea of racing cars from all classes of garage doesn't sound very appealing either. I know that it's a decent test to race slow cars, but I think most people wouldn't want to race B- and C-class cars. How about running several cars from the S-class garage, and maybe one other?

I'm not trying to cramp your style, man - these are just suggestions. It's your event so it's your decision in the end!

Will you be running Midfield backwards as well?

 

[Zero]

That's why the no cheating rule is #1! Rice are you gonna sign up?

Yes Midfield II will also be run, you know I actually was thinking about changing the race series length down a bit, i'll come up with a new schdule 2morrow and post it.

 

[Jayjitsu]

 

[Zero]

1. A-class garage
2. S-class garage
3. S-class garage
4. S-class garage
5. Rally Cars
6. S-class garage

Each difficultly level and track will be announced on the Tuesday before the 1st practice session starts.

So that this will be a fair series now that I am running all times must be submitted to Talentless who offered to accept the times.

Email all times to gtp_r_series@hotmail.com.

I will change this in the original post as well!

 

[Talentless]

the tomcat is one of the greatest planes in the world. a true legend.

 

[vat_man]

Good thing it's in Jan - sign me up

 

[Viper_Maniac]

*sit and ponders for a minute*......................................

Ah what the hell. Count me in.

I am still confused on the rules and stuff.

 

[Zero]

vat_man and viper_maniac thanks for signing up!

viper_maniac contact me via PM so I can clarify the rules for you.

 

[danpollard]

Sure, count me in

Remind me near the time! I forget easily! I don't follow the logic of qualifying- how would we start in positions? Is it just 4 an extra five points? One last thing - please don't make the rally bit too long - it gets boring with no1 to race (race the CPU lol, what I meant was no1 to smash).

Let me know when this goes!

The point of qualifying is to see which person has done the fastest lap in free run with whatever car. When you do the actual race you will start in 6th in arcade mode and race like you would in any other race. The rally race will either be on hard or professional level.

OK, that seems easy enough
