Welcome to the Manufacturers Global Team Championship!
SEASON 2!


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

Concept

Welcome! The concept for this series is to incorporate 3 primary components of racing.

1. The use of strategy between team mates.
2. The use of a factory sponsorship.
3. The use of specific restrictions to enable close and very competitive BUT FUN RACING FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS!

If these are things that interest you, please read on!

There will be 6 weeks of racing. Each race will have specific criteria you'll need to meet. Here is an example from a race from last season.

Items listed in RED will typically change from week to week. You will use MANY different cars and tunes!

Example Race

Time: XX:XX GMT (GMT is NOT BST. It's GMT/ZULU/UTC!)
Date: TBA
Track: Nurburgring Nordschleife
Weather: Sunny
Host: EivlEvo
PP Limit: 550PP
Tires: Any
Ballast Allowed (6 kilos or less must be at position zero): Yes
Engine Limiters Allowed: No (If they're necessary, inquire)
Aerodynamics Parts Allowed: Yes
Racing Cars Allowed: Yes
Racing Modifications Allowed: Yes
Concept Cars Allowed/Tuner Cars: Please inquire
Driving Aides: Traction Control, Anti-Lock Brakes, Driving Line
Penalties: Off (Please race as friends should)
Track Edge Grip: Real
Damage: Partial

So for this race, you would select ANY CAR FROM YOUR CHOSEN MANUFACTURER, and modify it with whatever parts you see fit within the regulations. This includes; tires, pp, ballast, aero, racing cars, racing mods, etc. etc.

This gives you a number of options for cars. If you happened to be team Honda for example, you could've run a nicely modded integra RM, or a lightly modded NSX or anything in between! It makes for very exciting racing, because you end up with vehicles that normally don't get used heavily in normal aspects of the game.

If you're STILL interested, please read the next section.

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

Race Details

Below there is a list of manufacturers. You'll notice that some have been listed together. This is to expand their pp range into a usable range so that manufacturers like Fiat and Ferrari could participate in this event. If you're interested in participating in this event this is what you need to do.

1. Select a manufacturer group that you and your team mate will use. If you don't have a team mate, that's fine... simply let us know which team you'd like to be on, and we'll assign you a team mate as one becomes available. When selecting your team, bear in mind that EVERY manufacturer has a weak spot, and every manufacturer has a stong spot. An example of this would be our reigning champions at Subaru. Their low level PP amounted to basically the Subaru 360, and their high level PP was nothing fancy either. However, through a combination of great driving, and a bit of luck with the weather on some stages, they were able to keep Audi and their firepower at bay.

2. Once you've selected a manufacturer... do your best to try and amass as many of the cars for that manufacturer as you can. You never know when a Ford Ka, or an RS200 will come in handy. I don't dupe at all, but I ended up duping some cars for races so that they could be used later, since there's no real way to reduce PP after you've heavily modified a car.

3. Any questions that you have PLEASE ASK!

4. If you decided that this event is for you, then choose a team, and read on.

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

^^^Specific Rules^^^
  • Race Track, PP Limit, and any restrictions (HP, Tires, Aero, etc.) will be given with 1 week notice.
  • Driving Aides will be set to off with the exception of Driving Line, and ABS. We're also going to allow TC.
  • Grip Reduction will be real, Penalties will be off, Damage will be partial. We expect that drivers will race respectfully.
  • Penalties are unrealistic, but so is cheating. In the event of a complaint, please PM me and my co-host and I will review the event. Any details will be helpful (time, place, etc.). We won't hesitate to just boot someone if they're driving poorly or unfairly. That said, we're pretty poor drivers too, so if you're new to this... please feel welcome.
  • In the event of an accidental corner cut, or accidental collision, please make it as right as you can on the track. If you've overtaken someone because of "questionable tactics" please allow them to get ahead of you. If it means losing, so what... it's a video game.
  • The only form of reducing a vehicles PP will be with ballast. No power limiters will be allowed! If your manufacturer does not have a vehicle that can be made to comply with the regulations through these methods, you'll need to contact us as soon as possible, and we'll work out a solution.
  • We have the final authority, always. You have the option to quit whenever you want.
  • Races will be chosen through a random track generator so that we have no more advantage than you.
  • Race length will be roughly 1 hour. Tire/fuel consumption will be on. Expect to pit.
  • We're expecting the first race to be the first week of December. Races will be held Tuesday at 10pm Eastern. This is 03:00 GMT time. We realize that this may be inconvenient for some people, but it is convenient for the hosts.

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

Manufacturers List

* All of these manufacturers have been setup in a fashion that seems to be favorable to all. Our goal is to get you to use cars that you love, or otherwise may never use/tune/race. If a manufacturer that you wish to use seems to be paired with another in a way that isn't favorable to you, we're accepting requests to split them or combine them in different ways, so let us know. For the most part though, we feel that we have the teams aligned rather solidly. Also, there are some manufacturers that simply don't have enough cars to participate (we feel), if you decide that you want to use one of these (Holden comes to mind) then you're welcome to let us know, and we'll handle it case by case.

Can all you brits make the time? We're trying to do this 10pm Eastern (03:00 GMT) on a weeknight?

I mean... the time might be negotiable... but weeknights are best for us.
 
Hey Evo, I'm down for the 2nd season :)

Weeknights are best for me also...thursdays are the best because ill always be home then
 
Can all you brits make the time? We're trying to do this 10pm Eastern (03:00 GMT) on a weeknight?

I mean... the time might be negotiable... but weeknights are best for us.

3am? Why did you put 8pm in the example? If its 3am then count me out.
I cant exactly hook up my T500 at 3am lol
 
I really want to get in and might be able to do Thursday night. 10pm est is possible. So I'll join pending a conversation with the "boss". :)

GTP: funkmuffin
PSN: FlexiDigit
Manufacturer: fiat/Ferrari/lancia if I get a treammate
 
I'm seeing some people requesting days. I thought I read that this series will be held on Tuesday evenings? I can do Tuesdays, but not Thursdays.
 
1. Post 2 has been updated. The races are tentatively scheduled for Tuesdays at 10pm.
2. People asking why... because this is when myself and my host are available? Not because we don't want you all to race, and I realize that we'll be losing most if not all of our overseas counterparts... but the weeknights are the only real feasible options for us. Simple as that.

3. Thursday is a tentative... but as of now, expect it to run on Tuesdays.

Edit:
3am? Why did you put 8pm in the example? If its 3am then count me out.
I cant exactly hook up my T500 at 3am lol

The example is from last series... its an example. If you read the whole post (specifically the bullets) it says Tuesdays at 0300 GMT.

Edit2:
If you don't see your names on the updated list... please repost to confirm that you're still interested and can make it on Tuesdays at 10PM Eastern (0300 GMT). If you can't or you'd like to be added as a reservist, let me know as well.

Also, if you can ONLY race on another weeknight, let us know as well... Fridays and weekends are out largely due to travel though.

I work on California time generally (despite being east coast based) so I don't get out of work until 8pm Eastern. I generally ride my bike and in the winter, it will take me a little extra time to get back with all the snow and cold. Tho... if we need to move it up, I could just drive my winter car.

I'll get you lot added.

Edit:
I can do tuesdays also...even if u want to bump it to 9 est if that helps the England people

Smoke... what team do you want to get on?

lol... omg. smoke... I'm not sure if the Canadians (Mitch and Jesse) can ACTUALLY do the race at the published time... I'm just waiting to hear back from them. If they CAN, then they've already got Nissan on lock. If not, you can take them... though I'd LOVE to get some different manufacturers involved that didn't race last season... but I'm fine either way.
 
o season two also i have a third back up member for my team as im moving to canada in less the two weeks so while im busy doing that etc he will be my replacement, havent picked a car make yet so will get back to you with that one. we enjoyed season 1t so deffo going to join in season 2
