Welcome to the thread!
http://www.starmazda.com/series/history.htm
I've been thinking of running some semi-length sprints (25 laps at Suzuka East, for example) in detuned Formula Gran Turismos. I've decided to act upon my ideas, as part of the W.M.A. series.
Also, I'd like to see when I could schedule these short races, to be convenient for a majority. Please answer the poll accurately.
This series will run under the "World Motorsports Association large banner," meaning that some drivers will be asked to compete at a lower level of motorsports before competing in this series, as this series will be a difficult series for beginners.

Specs:
The cars will run 468 hp and 605 kg, with tuning allowed, except gear ratios. We apologize for the inaccurate Star Mazda specs, but it is almost impossible to recreate a REAL Star Mazda car in the game. The specs will be checked (forced) at every race, meaning that cheating the specs IS** impossible, as your car will fail inspection and will not meet the restrictions. Tire compound will be decided later, pending current discussion. Oil changes will be necessary to get your car up to 468 hp at 50% limiter.
The build:
50.0% power limiter
55 kg. ballast (set to 50/50 weight distribution @ -30 ballast position)
Downforce: adjustable front and rear (anything you want)
No transmission tuning (specs given below)
Racing hards
These transmission settings are designed to slow the car down, while still giving it room to gain speed in draft, without redlining, at our ovals.
Season:
Preseason:
Autumn Ring- 16+1 laps
Round 1: Rome-20+1 laps
2: Grand Valley East-16+1 laps
3: Indy Oval-25+1 laps+rolling start
4: Indy Road Course-15+1 laps
5: Autumn Ring-16+1 laps
6: Daytona Road Course-15+1 laps
7: Monza-16+1 laps
8: Nürburgring GP/F-14+1 laps
9: Tokyo R246-17+1 laps
10: Suzuka-13+1 laps
Post-season points break/exhibition races
Motegi Oval-30+1 laps+rolling start
Motegi Road Course-13+1 laps
Spa-Francorchamps-10+1 laps
Race Procedure:
All races will run WITH qualifying. Qualifying will last fifteen minutes, and will be completed just before the race. There will be a five minute break between qualifying and the race. During these five minutes, the grid will be set, and all drivers will attend to the calls of nature, if necessary. The race will start promptly, with 20 minutes on the "Total Time Timer," and the drivers will begin a formation lap. During the formation lap, all drivers are to get into their position, as qualified. Drivers stop in their accompanying grid boxes for a standing start. Race director calls a time on the "Total Time" counter. Drivers accelerate when that time is reached. Upon crossing the Start/finish line, the race goes green. At ovals, cars will not be doing a standing start, and will maintain the formation lap pace, until crossing the start/finish line.
Cautions:
In the case of a large crash (involving three or more drivers) a caution will be called by all three drivers involved. If less than three drivers call for caution, there is no caution. Cautions will be 1 lap long. The leader will slow to 62 mp/h or 100 km/h and drive until the other drivers have caught up, and the race will be restarted at the start/finish line. If the caution occurs in the final sector, the next full lap is under caution. Cautions will not occur with less than 2 laps left. In the case of a caution with three laps left, the "Green&white-checkered" system will be used, meaning that there will be a one or two lap battle for the win.
Points:
We use the Star Mazda points system.
Finally, registration:
For registration, I ask that everyone fill out THIS (click) link. This will help with both the up-keep, and organization of teams. I'm willing to work with team sizes etc., or not run teams, depending on the turn out of the colours situation.

I don't think they are, though.

Looking forward to it though!
