    Following on from the interest thread;

    A Monday night series starting on 14 May. The start time will be 8:30pm with track to be selected on the night. Practice room will open at 7:45.

    Races will be comprised of a 10m Qualification period with pit-stops leading in to the race. The track will be the one shown when you join the room. If the time on my GT5 screen hits 8:50 and some drivers are still missing, the track will be reset and qualifying will kick off. The number of laps will be based on my lap times + 3 minutes in practice (max 40 minute race, depending on what time Practice ends). You must use 2 different compounds per race minimum. Both front & rear wheels must be the same compound as per the current official race series.

    You must start the race on the tyres you qualify on.

    Car selections will be as follows:
    R1 - Ford GT '06 max PP 650 ended up being 729 BHP
    R2 - Shelby Cobra 427 '66 - max BHP 670
    R3 - Ferrari round (621 BHP, no race cars or Enzo)
    R4 - Pickup (562 BHP NoToyota)
    R5 - Lotus (473 BHP, no RM/TC)
    R6 - F1 2007 Ferrari (700 BHP)

    The track will be selected on the evening of the race. I will post in this thread at approx 5pm on the day how many laps the race will be. I need to finalise my selection of tracks, but some will be reverse. For those where it is possible, time/weather is to be included. For the tracks with time progression/weather, the settings will be set to time progression 2, weather 25%, start time in-game will be 5:30pm. Any track suggestions will be welcomed! The track will be announced in this thread at approx 7:15 on the night of the race.

    Tuning restrictions:
    No LSD, unless it is there by default in which case it must be set to default settings.
    High Range Turbo & Supercharger are not allowed.
    Tyre selection is limited to SM, SS, RH or RM only.
    Maximum engine modification is Stage 2.
    Change your oil to achieve best BHP.
    BHP will be as per the non broken-in BHP so everyone will have the same regardless of how much time they have going in (or the next lowest value due to the way the BHP restricter works.


    Points will be as per the ROOZ race series' system. Teams are allowed and encouraged but I will need help with how the points system works for teams.

    Please fell free to add comments if you think I could make some changes; I am new to this 'arranging a series' thing so this may totally suck but I have to start somehow :)

    Things I forgot/mis-done and have been changed/added in italics above:
    1. Tyres in race - Must use both compounds (was agreed pre-start)
    2. I will change the races to BHP based. PP is broken and I should have thought of that from knowing how the TT's go.
    3. I will post in this thread at approx 5pm on the day how many laps the race will be. Yes, it may give you an idea on which track it could be, but at least you know something up front :p
    4. Don't forget to do an oil change ;)
    5. Track will be announced in this thread 15m prior to my room opening.

    Sounds good rumbles. I'm all for the teams too. Think they will be good. Speak to anon about the point structure for teams.

    As for driver and team points, we pretty much always use the F1 system, nice and simple.

    2 ways I've done are F1 (ie add the teams results together eg first 25pts, 4th 15pts, so that's 40 team). Or distribute pts as per the normal system, ie add the teams up like in F1, but give the no. 1 team 25, then 2nd team 20 and so on. I do have a modified points system that awards the top 12 finishers, but the results in all of my series would have been the same no matter what system was used. So feel free to create your own.

    BTW, I'm in. Am keen to make up a dodgy team name so if anyone wants to be part of Team (tba) let me know.

    Sounds great! And as for Aussie picking us up.. EWWW! I think TLFDY works. Not so sure about Team Vegas though, sounds too much like:

    'Do you wanna pawn or sell it?' or 'Sorry, but the market is just not there and it is not as rare as you would think.' or 'I'll give my buddy a ring who is an expert in these things'

    Hmm, guess I can show my ugly head here too.
    Just fore-warning, I'll miss the F1 round (round 6) due to me being out of the country on the 18th June ... I'll be in Japan from the 13th to the 23rd.

    Guess I better get myself some cars.

    :)
