Ive got time, as long as you guys keep this alive too.
Shall we start a race for now?
Shall we start a race for now?
I am up for this. seems like a good idea.
i have a few suggestions.
1.we have several drivetrain classes.(ex. FF, FR, MR) and only these classes run agaisnt each other with the exception of a fun run where everyone can post a time no matter what car.
2. Within these classes there is subclasses.
An FR class has a street class where you run on street tires and no weight deductions. There is also a SuperStreet Class where you run slicks and can have weight deduction.
3. We could also do a Turbo and N/A class where only turbo cars run against each other and N/A do the same.
4. We do an actual elimination tree where everyone registers a car they want to use for that week and they will be pooled together and names will be drawn at random. The names drawn will be put heads up and whoever gets the fastest time move to next round.
I also have some free time at night and would be able to help run this.
If needed i can write up some sort of guidelines for the ideas I have if people think it is interesting.

I already tried running this for a while.
Obviously there is some interest, (as seen by this thread occasionally being bumped) but probably not enough to run an enduring series.

First off, we're going to need someone to actually head this challenge. I'm in college, but tend to have a bit of free time between classes and after class, although to be totally honest, I'd rather not be placed with that much responsibility. I'll pick it up if nobody else wants to, though.

Yeah, like the last time I ran it.
Awesome.
You're new, but still somebody who is showing interest.
I know if I ran it again there wouldn't be a running scoreboard or division categories or drivetrain classes. I would run it how I used to, with a different kind of car every week. Y'all can check out my past WDS threads if ya like, click on my name and search for 'em.

Would we have it be something like a weekly drag series, where every week would be a different car/setup? And how would we do the leaderboard? I'd think we'd have to keep track of times or something, and maybe have a setup either like the WRS, or have a setup where you choose your "class" of car, and the best times from there.

Lets start how it all started, with muscle cars. You guys start shootin what you think the rules for this race should be. As in power, tire, etc. Just NO TCS for this one at the very least.

I don't have a Maxdrive either. Any replays I post will be raw .PS2 format (straight rip from the memory card).
I don't know, really, how the setup for the WRS is for the leaderboard, but I do know that they have it sortable, and you can have it sort by any of the split times for the track (assuming it has at least one).
As for rules, I'd agree with no driving aids (not like you really need them - all you're doing is going in a straight line
Although I do think themed runs would be cool.

A simple leaderboard in Excel is easy to construct and update. The WRS one is a bit more complicated but same idea.
Driving aids were usually optional for me, except for some weeks when I would make it 'illegal' to do so, usually on a hard to control car
As for absolute best times, some cars really benefit from a touch of it. In some cars, the quickest time will be with TCS. In others, the quickest time will be without it.
Proper throttle pressure and modulation is key though, especially when using nitrous.
Due to continued bumping of this thread, I suppose it is worth it to resurrect this, at least for a starter race, we can see how it goes from there. If anyone objects to me running it, voice your opinion before I create a thread tonight. I will PM all people who have posted in this thread recently. By the way the WDS is not an 'Official GTP Competition' so it will be in the long racing series area.
