Sierra Themed Tarmac Rally - Closed until further notice

[Obelisk]

FR me at RMedia_Obelisk.
Hi, and welcome to the Themed Tarmac Rally! In this series, we will be racing under a particular car theme, ending with a race on the new Sierra circuit.

Here's how it works:

Every week, I will announce a theme for that week's races (I.E. GT3, NASCAR, etc.) with a PP restriction, tire restriction and a drive train restriction if the theme calls for it. Courses can be decided before the event or after every race in the event (In which case, the starting course will be selected beforehand). It will be five races of varying lengths based on track size. Some events will cover multiple variants of cars and will require that attending drivers have all vehicles needed.

First theme will be posted at 6:00 PM EST and tracks will be voted on at that time.


Rules:

• All driving must be clean.
• Nitrous will be banned.
• What rules are laid down for the theme of the week MUST be adhered to. People who defy the rules will be banned for two weeks from the series.
• Arguments will result in a kick. If a dispute is outside the race, I will help resolve it.
• Have fun and say hi to MannYhAvitZ, the weed car driver!
