ROOZ NEWS Season 16 (GT6 Season 3) Introduction

​

Welcome readers to the 16th season of League racing, and the 3rd season in GT6. A new car, some new tracks, and mandatory 2 pit-stop racing will provide some extra strategizing by the drivers to come out on top.

The new car voted by the drivers for this season is the Mazda MX5 Roadster TOURING CAR. A small, low powered racing car that, unlike the McLaren of last season, does not throw the towel in and spin out at every little bump or slide. Its small size and stability will also allow for more door-to-door action. In testing, it showed that an overtake can sometimes take a couple of corners to complete.



As stated before, a new set of tracks have been chosen for the 7 rounds. Here's the list:

• R1 - Deep Forest - 34 laps
• R2 - GVE-R - 39 laps
• R3 - Trial Mtn - 2x 14 laps (fast tyre wear)
• R4 - 80's Brands Hatch - 29 laps
• R5 - Apricot Hill - 61 laps (enduro)
• R6 - Red Bull Ring - 26 laps
• R7 - Nurburgring 24hr - 5 laps (1 stop, fast wear)

A new points system has been implemented, where points are awarded all the way down to 15th place. Most Divisions have nearly full grids this season so that will ensure everyone who enters the event is going to score at least a point.

Also, debuted in the final rounds of GT6 Season 2, and now fully operational, a 'Team's Championship' has added extra depth to the events, and helps promote the many sponsors of the forum. It will also encourage the higher division drivers to 'coach' their lower division team-mates to improve overall team points, and further improve the overall skill levels of the community. The teams can be distinguished by the colour combinations on the car's bodywork and rims.

Team colours Curious Yellow Body/Black Rims


Team colours Black Body/Red Rims


Team colours White Body/Red Rims


Team colours Red Body/Yellow Rims


Team colours Silver Body/Lime Green Rims


Team colours Orange Body/Black Rims


Team colours Light Blue Body/White Rims
​

And finally, a new system to identify drivers in any ROOZ organised event, every driver has registered for an official 'racing number'. Only the nominated driver can use that number, and with the team colours, will help to identify drivers in the events and the reports.

So here comes another 7 rounds of League Racing. Stay tuned for Part 1, coming from Deep Forrest.
