I'll keep a space reserved if you like?

Yeah mate if we run without aids, I'm in.

Nationality: Poland

 

[Mikey24]

Enough R18s?

So I'm curious, the open and closed cockpit cars run separately in the standings but fight for the same points... Is the 50pp deficit there to separate the classes or bring them closer together?

that's a good point actually haha i'll look into it & ikr, the Audi is very popular!

cool! & which 908?

 

[Toshost]

Audi team joest #2 the painted one And if its full i will go with the R10 stealth model

 

[TayTheDay]

that's a good point actually haha i'll look into it & ikr, the Audi is very popular!

Well atm, I'm racing against 3 Team Joests with 50 more PP for the hybrid title. Doesn't really seem fair

 

[Mikey24]

Well atm, I'm racing against 3 Team Joests with 50 more PP for the hybrid title. Doesn't really seem fair

Yeah im going to increase the pp for LMP-O to 670 too.

Audi team joest #2 the painted one And if its full i will go with the R10 stealth model

Cool no its not full, audi's just popular!

 

[Mikey24]

Where are you from as well?

 

[Toshost]

Where are you from as well?

Bulgaria (BUL)

 

[TayTheDay]

Yeah im going to increase the pp for LMP-O to 670 too.

If you'd like to do some testing some time we can compare pace. I gather that the pescarolo is actually a bit overpowered, just not by 50pp

 

[Mikey24]

Bulgaria (BUL)

thanks

 

[Mikey24]

Yeah, a test session is on this Sunday! but yeah the C60 hybride is overly powered, so weight restrictions are applied for that kind of thing

LMP ENDURANCE SERIES
​

WELCOME to the inaugural season of the ALL-NEW Le Mans Prototypes Endurance Racing Series - known as the LMP Endurance Series! Due to the first season being a test to see whether this competition takes off, the series will travel to only three venues - Fuji, Suzuka and Bathurst.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CARS

The field will be split into 2 classes - LMP-C and LMP-O.

LMP-C = closed cockpit cars.
LMP-O = open-faced racecars.

Up to 7 drivers can enter the LMP-C class, and 8 drivers can enter the LMP-O class, with reserve drivers. If any of the drivers cannot make the race due to complications, one of the reserve drivers (chosen at random) will be asked to fill their place on the grid. However, neither the driver or reserve driver will receive points as the driver didn't compete and by new regulations, the reserve driver cannot earn points towards the championship. Both classes will be limited to 670pp.

Weight can be added to cars if found to be unfairly faster than others.

RULES & REGULATIONS

PRE-RACE PROCEDURE:
When the 30 second timer starts, ALL drivers must press on the 'Enter' option before the timer reaches 0, drivers MUST NOT press the 'Go To Track' option. If a driver misses the cutoff time, they WILL NOT earn any points at that venue as they are officially not entered in the event. If that driver happens to have set the fastest time in practice, they will not receive the bonus 2 points.

PRACTICE:
All drivers will have 1 hour to practice the circuit and run different car setups if they wish to. Once the time has expired, every driver must return to pit lane NOT VIA MENU. The driver who posts the fastest lap time will receive 2 points.

QUALIFYING:
After Practice Time has ended, drivers will be given 5 minutes to apply their car setup, if they want to. ALL drivers MUST have entered the circuit before the countdown to Qualifying has finished.

During Qualifying, drivers will be given 15 minutes to post the fastest lap time. The driver who qualifies on Pole Position will be awarded an extra point towards the championship.

START PROCEDURE:
Whilst on the starting grid, ALL drivers MUST keep their brakes on before the green flag is waved. Any driver that jumpstarts the race will be immediately excluded from the race results and WILL NOT earn any points at that venue regardless of if they have set fastest lap times in both or either of Practice Time and Qualifying.

RACE:
During the race - which lasts for 100 miles - any driver found to cut more than two corners on any lap will be warned immediately and if it continues that driver will be subject to penalty points and a change tyre pit stop, forcing them onto hard tyres until their next pit stop. Refuelling is prohibited during this pit stop.
Any driver found to be deliberately pushing others or blocking others will be faced with 1 penalty point and will be dropped 2 places on the finishing results. If this incident happens again, the driver will be handed another penalty point and may face exclusion from the race results. If this offence happens a third time, the driver will be immediately excluded from the race results regardless of where they finish.
Once the leading driver crosses the finish line, the rest of the field will be given 3 minutes to finish and the race results will be concluded by positions once the timer runs out.

PENALTIES:
> Any driver found to be breaching any performance regulations will be subject to penalty points and may face exclusion from the race results.
> Penalty Points will be awarded if any driver is unfair to others by blocking/pushing etc., breaching performance regulations or cutting multiple corners.

A DRIVER CAN TESTIFY AGAINST THEIR PENALIZATION TO THE STEWARD AND THE STEWARD WILL LOOK CLOSELY AT THE INCIDENT IN RACE REPLAY. IF THE DRIVER'S ACTIONS ARE JUSTIFIED, THE PENALTY WILL BE LIFTED ALONG WITH THE PENALTY POINTS.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POINTS SYSTEM

1st place = 25 points
2nd place = 18 points
3rd place = 15 points
4th place = 12 points
5th place = 10 points
6th place = 8 points
7th place = 6 points
8th place = 4 points
9th place = 2 points
10th place = 1 point

Pole Position = 1 point
Fastest Practice time = 2 points

Points are awarded across the whole field, NOT the classes individually.

PENALTY POINTS (PP):

1 penalty point = 1 point deducted from your championship tally.
2 penalty points = 2 points deducted from your championship tally.
3 penalty points = 5 points deducted from your championship tally.

Up to 3 PP's can be awarded to any driver during any race. Once the race has officially finished, the PP count is wiped clean but the points deduction remains for the remainder of the season.

3 PP's can be awarded without exclusion from the race result.

PERMANENT CHAMPIONSHIP PENALTY POINTS (PCPP):

PCPP's reset once the championship has ended.
PCPP's are awarded once a driver receives 3 PP's in more than one race:

2 races with 3 PP's = 1 PCPP
3 races with 3 PP's = 2 PCPP's
4 races with 3 PP's = 3 PCPP's

Once 3 PCPP's are awarded, that driver is then completely excluded from the championship standings and will not gain any points at all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DON'T FORGET TO MENTION THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS. :-)

FIRST TEST STARTS THIS SUNDAY! 1 LMP-C PLACE & 6 LMP-O PLACES REMAINING!

 

[racefan88]

Just a suggestion, but maybe spec the cars so they are equal and then make lmp-c (the newer chassis) a pro class and lmp-o (the older chassis) an am class? This way theoretically there could be competition between the two classes however there could be a differentiating factor?
