Hello! Welcome to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Remote Race Series!

Continuing on shem's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, I present the NASCAR Sprint Cup Remote Race Series! Using the "Remote Race" feature, consisting of NASCARS only, you can watch your drivers compete and earn credits around the Daytona Superspeedway, and another soon-to-be-updated NASCAR track!

How do I enter? Simply fill out this form... and if it isn't filled out like this, that entrance won't count!

GTP ID: ___________
PSN ID: ___________
Bob of Choice: __. _______
Bob Level: ___
Country: _____

To enter this competition, your "Bob" (driver) must be above Level 25. Also, take note that you cannot change your driver choice after I've entered you. What's done is done.

If this series really takes off, I plan to split drivers (and Bobs) into different continental categories. Therefore, we will have "NASCAR North America", "NASCAR South America", "NASCAR Oceania", "European NASCAR", "Asian NASCAR", "NASCAR of the Middle East", and "NASCAR Africa".

For starters, we will run just a small series of drivers. If the driver level gets over 16, we will have separate series, like Expert Series (Level 35-40), Advanced Series (Level 30-34), and Intermediate Series (Level 25-29). We'll see how popular this gets. If it gets enormously popular, we will probably have an "ultimate championship" of Bobs. We'll see! Finally, you are allowed to enter yourself even if you don't have a Bob over Level 25. You will be put on the "interest list", but you will not be allowed to actually be entered in the race.

PRIZES: 1ST PLACE - 3 Cars of up to 1,000,000 CR
2ND PLACE - 2 cars of up to 1,000,000 CR
3RD PLACE - 1 Car of up to 1,000,000 CR

Of course, you will get numerous credits automatically after I, or a director, have raced your driver.

In conclusion, the championship is meant to be fun and rewarding. As Remote Racing goes, you can start anywhere in the field, and anything can happen, especially at ovals. I'm glad you've checked this thread! You could end up with even 3,000,000 CR+by the time you're done!

Cheers!
Lord V.

Welcome to the series, Matty! I will FR you in a moment. To answer your questions, the prizes will be, for the overall winner of the championship(s), three 0-1,000,000 CR premium cars of your choice. Also, I will host them normally, but I am recruting a group of people who will host at times when I cannot.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Also, I wanted to announce that maybe, for the sake of organization, have only one series until the entry count gets over 16. Then we can have several different continental series.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Remote Race Series - The Battle of the Bobs, Version 2

New title suggestion as version 1 was done here.. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=218258

Suggest you have a read and copy a few things.
Using a screen grab of the final race result.
Saving the replay of each round then exporting and uploading the replay to..... A Megaupload.com folder..
So we can download then import and watch would be a good addon.
Google spreadsheet for scoring data as well.

GTP ID: GraphiteGB ( same as above )
PSN ID: GraphiteGB ( as over on the left there )
Bob of Choice: A.Benedetti
Bob Level: 40
Country: GB

Him please

Hope fully add to his EU championship win.

Would also suggest widget runners don't enter and allow others to get credits and there fore avoid wasting the Hosts time trying to select a driver thats never usable.

I might have to grind Mr. Kinney because level 40 is the best of the best!

When you Add people to your friends list you can go to the web site and convert the Graphical bars to actual number figures using the inspect tool of any webkit browser.
Speed 169 - Mental 169 - physical 179, character 186 hot for my A.B driver
Give you a better idea of there pre race stats before the other factors get in the way.

 

[SkengD]

You can sign me up , I'd prefer to use my U.Roth bob but if he isnt available any of them will do

psn: skengdigi
bob : u roth

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Looks like Matty and me are in for a whooping! LOL

BTW R.I.P. Dan Wheldon.

You will be missed!

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Oh and BTW the reason you all haven't got any FRs yet is because I'm waiting for 16 for-sure entries. 12 to go...

 

[GraphiteGB]

No worries it took shem ages to get 16 peps.

Now my best Bobs are running the Le Mans 24h, i will post my Bob choice tomorrow, after the end of the 24h

 

[Lord Voldemort]

MejoRegna,

Me, too! My "bob", T. Kinney, has worked his tail off trying to get up to Level 35 at least. He's a Level 34 "bob" now, and he will be celebrating victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans when I get the time to enter him. He will be driving a Red Bull X1, granted, a very used one, and he shall certainly be victorious.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

BTW, does anyone want to volunteer for hosting when I can't? Graphite, can I hear you? LOL!

Just a yes or no.

Also, I'm hoping for another remote race update. Road courses are when the best drivers really shine. Even when I was level 17, going up against a level 40, I won against him!! I got a huge pull out of the corner by the #99 Aflac Fusion and swept past to win...

 

[BadBoyBoogie]

I'd like to be included in this please.

Funnily enough I'm also currently racing a 24 hour race, but in my case it's the Nurburgring as that's the last one that I need to complete all the endurance series of events.

 

[GraphiteGB]

you should have had my reply in the PM, Te whos name shall not be spoke (I can't remember the film quotes )

 

[MejoRegna]

My F.Alonso ( )



A question: when did the champ start? I will train my Alonso until the begin of the champ

 

[GraphiteGB]

No date. needs 16 peps first realy.
I wont be doing admin for this like I did with shems Nascar series as ill be a secondary leader in a clan on BF3 I expect that to take over my PS3 time, like BFBC2 did.
GT5 allready stopped me playing Killzone 3 fully.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

That's okay, Graphite! I will get someone else. I know a few people who don't run widgets, including GT Academy finalist GT-Club_Mauss (he's all level 34s and 33s) and a few others. I'll add you in the morning, Boogie. School night, ya know? (Yes, I'm that young lol)

 

[Lord Voldemort]

My F.Alonso ( )

Yeah, as Graphite said, until we get 16 confirmed entries, the championship is not starting. But we have made tremendous progress in the 5-6 days this has been up!

I think we might pair into teams. I will consider changing the rules (and making them more organized, lol).

 

[odyss3y]

I'm in. I can do hosting too as long as it is clear what I need to do. Maybe make a Google spreadsheet for easy sharing?

GTP ID: odyss3y
PSN ID: afferent
Bob of Choice: B.Bond (I pay him well enough for a career change)
Bob Level: 40
Country: USA

I've got more money than I know what to do with so the prizes are necessary for me, but I'd be happy to help chip in for those new to GT5.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Thanks for the registration and offer, man! I'll have you down in a moment. The spreadsheet is a good idea.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

I've got shem interested...

Bob of Choice: P. Adam (winner of the last NASCAR championship )

I'll upload a photo of my driver later when I'm on lunch. 👍

 

[GraphiteGB]

there you go shem....

Speed - 169
mental - 172
Physical - 178
Character - 1 Cool

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Can shem do it twice in a row? We'll see...

BTW, like my new "wanted" poster? I am mildly talented at photoshop.

 

[BadBoyBoogie]

I think we might pair into teams. I will consider changing the rules (and making them more organized, lol).

I quite like the idea of teams. 👍

Maybe we could pair off the higher level Bob's with the lower level Bob's to even things up a bit? 💡

 

[Lord Voldemort]

That's an idea, but of course, on remote racing, you can't have multiple drivers in one car. You've just got to pick the NASCAR race and go with one driver. But in separate cars, I totally like it. But I think we should leave it up to the people to decide which team their on. If they want to make an all level 40 team, so be it... in my opinion.
