this is an intrest check for an upcoming series that i wanna host...let me know what you think!!!


so here is the deal, it would be a 4 race mini season to determine who seeds where. with a 400M dash to have less of a chance of having a tie (due to the odd number of events) then from there we have people pair off against eachother according to seed. i.e. 1st qualifier will face last qualifier and so on and so forth, in the event of an odd number of competitors top qualifier will get a bye run.

THE CARS: any car you want with any mods you want.

THE CATCH: your total budget INCLUDING CAR must not exceed 100,000 credits.

RULES ON PRIZE CARS: prize cars will be allowed, but their value will be assumed as set by GTPlanet's ultimate prize car list. any that have no buy price on that list (i.e.the mini) will be valued at 4 times the sell price.

POINTS: there will be one point per person entered. i.e. if there are 10 competitors there will be a mazimum of 10 available points in the race 1st place recieving the full 10 and 10th place recieving one. points will accumulate THROUGH THE MINI SEASON ONLY!!! after that it is put into single elimination tournament style races.


the bracket style set up should end up with some interesting matchups as well as perhaps some serious upsets. the budget will keep it competitive, and you will have to put some thought on how to build your car. should be very interesting. if/when the series starts (pending interest and feedback from you guys) budget will be verified through PM. YOU MUST submit EXACTLY what you have done to the car, howmuch each mod cost, and price of the car. car washes, oil changes, and wheels need not be included in the total price (FREEBIE YAY!!!!!)

any feedback and/or comments are appreciated (if they are constructive)

the main forum will be Gran Turismo By Numbers, but i will regularly check here for replies...
 
i would say " yeah im up for it!" but ive already posted at 'the numbers'
hey at leats youve got a reply now!!

anyway, how many ppl have you got interested in this??
will it be running
?
 
just posted it at racing line...even if t is only like 5-6 people i will still run it...it will start at the end of the TORC challenge.
 
PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS YOUR CAR DECISION UNTIL I RELEASE THE INFO!!! (PM me with the details of your car.)
 
At the moment, I am entirely too busy to compete. But I'd like to "audit" a race or two if I am able. I love building cars on the cheap. I have two or three in mind that will excel in the $100K range.
 
I've done some testing yesterday.
Ran four cars around "the Hill" I have broken it down to two faves that are lapping withing 0.053 seconds of each other...
 
I'm pretty good at keeping my cards "close to the vest"...
 
I just constructed a very large Excel file.

Turns out there's 102 eligible cars, and the VW Lupo Cup Car is the worst pick of them all... :D

I entered every car's power, weight and price. They were ranked by power, power-to-weight ratio and price. They were then assessed by Spearman's Rank (add up the rankings, and the lowest total is best), using price with twice the weighting of the others.

The top few weren't surprising - quick and cheap. What was surprising was how few MR cars were high up. In fact, the highest placed MR car was in joint 19th place with the highest placed FF car.

I'll be testing out my top few and PMing my car choice tomorrow.
