Race Specifics
- Arcade Mode Single Race - five lap race against a single AI car
- Power: 0% (158 hp)
- Weight: -10% (332 kg)
- Tire Type: N3
- Driving aids and transmission mode are open.
- The process for setting up the race is as follows:
- Go into Arcade Mode Single Race, and choose Trial Mountain Forward.
- Select the Caterham Seven Fire Blade with the AI set to difficulty 5 or higher on Sports Medium tires. (Note that exiting and then reentering the race will likely get you a different AI opponent.)
- Once in the race, change the tires back to N3 (Road).
- Go into the Options menu, and under Arcade -> Race, set the number of laps to 5 and tire wear off. Penalties are irrelevant.
- The race must be 100% clean. No offs or wall or AI touches are allowed.
- You must win the race in order for your time to be eligible.
- Standard OLR cleanliness rules apply: Two wheels must be in contact with the track at all times; rumble strips are part of the track; no contact with walls or AI allowed at any time. Concrete areas outside of rumble strips are part of the track.
- Please PM me your final time by Tuesday, May 12 by 11:59 pm GMT (world clock).
Series General Rules
- Discussion of times in the race thread during the week are limited to lap times from laps 1 and 4. Final times are not to be discussed and must be submitted to me by PM before the week's deadline.
- Please save your best lap replay in case I request proof. Some form of proof, a photo at minimum, will be required of the winner. I may request proof of any suspicious times, which may include requiring a video or .max file. Posting video or .max replays is encouraged of all participants should they wish to do so.
- Each race will award points towards the overall championship standings to all who submit a clean lap/race time, with the winner receiving 15 points, second place 12, third place 10, and fourth on down each separated by 1 point (9, 8, 7, etc.). No points will be awarded to a non-submitting driver. You do not have to announce your participation in the championship beforehand: anyone may participate in a race and be counted into the championship points, even if you do not plan on running all the races; similarly, there is no obligation to participate in every race. The driver with the most points at the end of the six races will win the championship.
Sorry for all the bolded things; I wanted to make sure that nobody missed any important differences this week. It's definitely something different, rewarding consistency rather than all-out single lap speed. I just hope it's not too hard to keep it clean and relatively fast! Basically, the big variable here, other than your speed, is which AI car to pick. There are several very slow AI cars in the difficulty range I gave you all, and they should be beatable for anyone; however, passing cleanly may still pose a bit of a challenge. Now, if you want something even more interesting, you can select a much faster car that will be a lot harder to pass but may give you a significant speed boost through the slipstream effect. You will have to choose to suit your own personal tastes, but remember, you must pass the AI permanently, and you must do it cleanly. Have fun!
