    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.
    @Beau_Albert @Giant slayer @Jim_aka_The_Man @Noxrai @R0T0R-AU86 @thebigRAGOO_14 @Samsung1998racer @Konnor McCluskey @cowdoesfly @hughesy_12 @Fastboysmith @Flukyluke99

    • 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 a ROLLING 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 website http://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.

    but seriously well done vardy. being in IT support I know that there are some people who don't want to try and figure out some things for themselves. Good on you for doing what 90% of IT support does and searching for the solution on the internet :thumbsup:

    try a free software called greenshot. Once you install it, you only have to push print screen and then it lets you choose which part of the screen to shoot so you don't show all of the world your computer screen

    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....
