Hey guys... Its time to get the divisonal threads opened up. In here you will find all you need to know about the entrants, rules, regs, setting for each round, points ladders & the HTO PENALTY / SUCCESS SYSTEM. 7 round series comprising of races 2 x 90 min races - 3 x 60 min - 2 x 30 min (corresponding to the # of laps it would take) Rooms will be opened at 7:30 pm with 1 hour practice followed by 15 min qualifying followed by the race which will be aROLLING START Race strategy, tyre selection & Pit stops are completely open... there is no restriction on how many or how few times you stop or what compound you use. Each round will have as closely as i can, real world location simulated weather which will be locked in as to the forecast on Wednesday morning ( When i get to look at it) using the 4 time slots available within the game and will correspond with the 8 am 11 am 2 pm & 5 pm forecast on the linked below websitehttp://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Racing/United-States-Of-America/Watkins-Glen-Circuit.aspx Points will be awarded as follows Pole position 1 point - Fastest lap 1 point - Race finish order 25-20-16-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 HTO PENALTY / SUCCESS SYSTEM. In previous GT6 HTO series there has been a success ballast or penalty system applied to the top 5 in the points ladder after each round that has been easy to manage and police. Unfortunately in PCars there is no way of policing the restrictor % within the setup other than an honesty system, whether people would play the game is something i am not going to try.... SO I have come up with the following, The top 5 on each table will only be able to score a % of the points they would normally receive for their finishing position. So the following % penalties will apply, if you are in 1st place you will only receive 80% of the points for your finishing position in the next round. 2nd 84% 3rd 88% 4th 92% & 5th 96%. the table below has all outcomes covered and yes i will be using the 1 decimal point. will make it interesting i think.

@VARDZ nice using the points penalty system similar to what I used in the full weather/damage series last time Although mine was based on division since we only had one room.
Please note that there is wet weather forecasted for the 2nd half of the race ATM ... the rain forecasted will have the following weather slots on race night. 0mm - 0.9mm = overcast (no rain) 1mm - 4.9mm = light rain 5mm - 9.9mm = medium rain 10mm - 19.9mm = heavy rain 20mm+ = thunderstorm
This is going to be fun. Not sure why but that tag didn't seem to notify me of this post Vardz, that may be why nobody else has responded. @Bastian Dalziel @Clevohead @fezza @HIGGS @Peuty @Rod @Woffu @beakeroo @Ad2mny @SuiCid3 @garyw61 @SPL Racing @Viperzed
OK BOYS Here is what I have so far... only 5 that haven't decided on their chariot and only 1 team that really needs a couple of drivers to be competing for the teams title... @@Woffu @@agolfer78 @@HIGGS @@Rod you guys need to make a choice please... @@Noxrai not sure if you have med clearance to race but you are welcome to enter at anytime that you are good to go... The McLaren Factory team is in need of at least 1 silver and 1 bronze to be eligible for the team title so if any of you decide to jump in the macca you have one of the best tuners in the game in Giant to help you out... So race regs are up ...only adjustment might be a start time on track of 10am ... that will put the finish into the late afternoon I do this to see everyone enjoy themselves... this has been slapped together in about a third of the time frame I normally havr to get this series on track and it is the first one on Project Cars... there will be problems...not to many I hope.... MAKE YOURSELVES AWARE OF THE POINTS PENALTY SYSTEM... IT IS IN THE OPENING POST OF EACH OF THE THREADS ... VERY IMPORTANT YOU READ IT AND UNDERSTAND IT AS IT GOES FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON.... most of all enjoy it boys ...again it is why I do it!!!

JUST FOR CLARIFACTION.... Kerb hopping / corner cutting penalties at the bus stop chicane at the end of the back straight will be hard to police... but the game deals out penalties if you try and grab to much kerb or cut too much... I am happy to leave it at that....
I see were still doing pit glitches, FFS. Would be harsh to blame PD for this one. Very sorry about T1, I didnt catch the name so couldnt redress. Ill take a time penalty next round. #firstlapnutcase.
Faaaarrrkkk this god damn game!!! Practice did perfect laps no issues 85lt runs and no issues. Quali comes and the car is wrecked. Couldn't steer at all. Race starts and the car is completely uncontrollable. Ads went past me down main straight......And I lost 1.3 seconds in 1 friggin corner without making a mistake!!! And as my car now becomes a boat, it's scrubs the fronts out of grip so I pit, check the strategy, small refill and tyres, dumps a full tank into it. After half a lap front left is red, after 3 laps it had gone down over a 1/4 of its grip. Wtf!!! So after I kick a few things I look up and half the field is stuck in the pits.
