"Full Realism"
"Full Realism"
Ever wanted to run a realistic full length Nascar race at Indy with full power and minimum downforce? Well, here's your chance.
This will be a single, one-off spot race not related to any of the existing GTP NASCAR series, or any current or past PURE sanctioned series. Anyone may join so long as committed to clean racing.
Date and time:
Saturday, October 27th
Green Flag: 21:00 UTC (5:00 PM EDT, 2:00 PM PDT, 10:00 PM BST)
Room opens: 20:00 UTC
Qualifying begins: 20:40 UTC
Rules and regulations:
- Any NASCAR race car available in GT5 is allowed to participate. 2010 and 2011 models are both legal, GameStop Camry included (List of entries below).
- Cars will be run at full power, with oil change and 300KM break-in, at 892 hp
- Cars MUST run with minimum (20/40) aero.. PP will be restricted to 632 PP, and HP and weight checks will be used to catch any cheats.
- Only Racing Hard tires will be permitted. No other tire compounds of any kind may be used at any time.
- All driving aids will be disabled, ABS included.
- Mechanical and Visual damage is OFF
- Fuel consumption and tire wear are ON
- Grip Reduction is set to Real
- Slipstream is set to Weak
- Disable Collisions will be OFF during the race, but ON during qualifying.
- Boost is Off (lol)
- Mics will be kept On to aid in communication during the race
- RACE CLEAN - It's OK (and expected) to let off of the gas (or even lightly brake) so you don't run over someone in a turn. This is especially true at oval tracks, where high-speed drafting can cause issues with drivers being spun out in corners.
- No speed limit is enforced upon entering pit road. Be warned that GT5 can sometimes assess its own penalty for entering pit road too quickly, but it is entirely dependent on the track and where your pit box is located specifically. Please give other drivers space and courtesy to enter pit road safely.
- While exiting pit road, drivers should use the entire pit exit road until the back straightaway.
- NO CAUTIONS - use this as an extra motivation to RACE CLEAN.
Qualifying
- Qualifying will be held 20 minutes before the race starts and will last for 15 minutes, during which time, everyone is allowed on track to set a lap.
- You are not permitted to exit into the lobby at any time, for any reason after you have joined the track. Stay on the track in a safe place, or stay in the pits until the session is over.
- At the end of the session I will type in the chat "Quali is over. Please finish your lap and go to the pits."
- I will exit and go into "watch race" mode, write down everyone's times.
- I will then get into the pits and start the race
Rolling start
- This race will have a rolling start, with a side-by-side formation
- If the grid order is wrong when the race starts, use this time to sort yourselves and get in order.
- Maintain a pace speed of 60 mph / 100 km/h
- Polesitter, and all odd cars will start on the inside of the track, even cars will start on the outside
- Absolutely no weaving on the formation lap; it does more harm than good
- Starting point TBD
