[RACE] Weekend Fun Runs - Thnks fr th mmrsFinished 

Well, tomorrow night is the local cruise night in town, so I might be a bit late, joining around 7:30 or so..
 
I've been Googling some Modsports and Thunder Saloons. We need to be trying some similar stuff. :drool:
 
Yeah, I have six hours total of GTP ES racing this weekend alongside real-life motorsport and possibly the VRR race, so that's why I'll be really limited joining.

Hope you all have fun without me this weekend. :3
 
Hullo all.

Firstly, we may/may not have a visitor from Denmark tonight or tomorrow. Just about whether they can get online in time or not. Just a little heads up.

Secondly, since I'm a little tired still, is there any way this concept could be replicated to some extent on GT6? Ignore the patter, and the weird tense shifts.

The ISC Sportscars Championship consists of up to 12 teams, 48 drivers, 24 of the most powerful sports cars in the world and 75 minutes of non-stop live action, competing for the Championship title. The teams racing this year are Lotus, Porsche, Ferrari, Viper, Marcos, Stealth, Lister, Nissan and TVR.

ISC Sportscars race rules ensure that the competing cars remain in close proximity when racing, which will produce plenty of overtaking and top speed driving. This Championship is based on skill, determination and claiming valuable Championship points.

The races are designed to maximize entertainment value with qualifying races taking place on the circuit the day before the race itself to determine crucial grid positions. Drivers take part in an initial 40 minute qualifying session, following which the fastest 10 drivers will partake in a 30 minute shoot out of three flying laps. There will be a mandatory stop for fuel, tyre and driver change.

Initially the camera and data feeds from the cars will allow the terrestrial TV coverage to provide an enhanced broadcast showcasing interactive features. This interactivity will begin to come through by August of this year when all competing cars will be fitted with the same exclusive technology, creating a pipeline of content for an interactive transmission to allow viewers to become fully involved in the racing.

Each car will have 2 cameras with additional cameras placed in the pit lane, on the helicopters and around the track. With sufficient bandwidth you will be able to jump from car to car, listen to the conversation between the driver and his team, monitor the drivers' heart rate and watch the live dashboard display, including speed, gear selection and fluid temperatures to name but a few of the features available to the digital consumer.

You will be able to catch the ISC highlights programme on television after the 11 O'clock news every Tuesday following each race and on Thursday at midnight and later in the year on the ITV Sport Channel which will be available as part of a Sky Premier package.

The Interactive Sportscars Championship was a new concept to Motorsport, and the drivers and teams were to cash in on huge prize funds should they be successful.

For example, at each event, the most successful teams ( based on finishing positions of their two cars ) will win the following sums:
1st place £20'000
2nd place £10'000
3rd place £5'000
4th place £3'000
5th place £2'000
6th place £1'000

These figures add up to an impressive total of £492 000 for the season, but it didn't stop there. The successful drivers in each race will receive the following prize sums:
1st place £15'000
2nd place £7'000
3rd place £3'000
4th place £2'000
5th place £1'250
6th place £750

Both prize money scales are skewed towards overall success, thereby increasing the appeal of going for the win – which is worth more than double the second place prize money for the drivers.

There are overall prize funds at the end of the season for first, second and third, for both teams and drivers. The winning team receives £50'000, the winning drivers £25'000.

Interactive Motorsport Holdings were aiming to attract 260'000 digital subscribers to their TV package, plus 1.25 million to terrestrial coverage, and one objective is to make the drivers into real media personalities.

Sadly after the first race at Donington Park the Interactive Sportscars bosses were unable to come up with the prize funds, so Donington was the one and only ever Interactive Sportscar race.
