Welcome to the Volkswagen Scirocco R Spec Racing series! This is a six-race series between the same car, unmodified. This would provide even racing as there will be one less factor affecting the outcome of the race. To participate, you will require PD's latest DLC pack.


Volkswagen Scirocco R '10

65077304577afa79820cz.jpg


Welcome to the new Scirocco R! It's got a 2.0L Straight-4 engine that produces 257 HP, all of which goes to the front wheels. During the championship, you are not allowed to modify it in any way, except for painting it and changing the wheels.

Please conduct an oil change prior to the races, to keep your car up with the others!


Racing Schedule

All races are on Saturdays! Lobbies open at 4:30PM Pacific Standard Time (GMT -8), and the racing will start at 5:00PM PST. The race itself should be around 60 minutes long.

Race 0 (January 7): Nurburgring GP/F - 23 Laps
Race 1 (January 28): Suzuka Circuit Weather - 20 Laps
Race 2 (February 4): Laguna Seca - 28 Laps
Race 3 (February 11): Daytona Road Course - 24 Laps.
Race 4 (February 18): Autodromo Nazionale Monza / Weather Change - 26 Laps
Race 5 (March 3): Nurburgring 24H - 5 Laps


Racing Configuration

1. Practice
Until the start of the race, you may just practice with others on the track.

2. Qualifying Race
This is a race to determine your position on the starting grid. Laps depend on the length of the track. Note that "Qualifying Race" is shortened to "Quali Race" due to the stupid chat filter in GT5.

3. Race
The first lap will be a parade lap where you can warm your tires up. Therefore, a 18 lap race for example will be 19 laps long. Maximum speed is 120 km/h (75 mph). The lead car will act as a pace car. After the first lap, the race is on! There is one mandatory pit!

Drivers are allowed to skip Practice and Qualification rounds if they need to, but must start at the back.

Should anyone get disconnected from the race, they will have to miss the rest of the race.


Regulations

I won't have any official written rules for racing. Just think what is right and what is wrong. 👍

Points will be lost if you ram or damage another player. You can privately report to me any incidents as I might not be able to catch all incidents while reviewing the race.

If only 50% of players arrive at a lobby, that race will be cancelled.

Thanks for joining!

I'll make a rule that drivers have to do an oil change on their car.
 
I won't be able to make the pre-season race (unless I can get my ps3 setup on an airplane) but I would like to join for the rest of the races.

Pre Season should be fun concidering its 30mins into the UK new year :lol:. (It will by my first race of 2012 :dopey: but youll still be in 2011 :sly:)
 
Dont worry. Just re-read the rules :p

EDIT:
Are you deciding 5 tracks?

If everyone has the 1st DLC we have to do Spa.
Also, we should do Monza and Suzuka.

Just my opinion :)

You won't earn any points in the Pre-Season race. It's there purely to see if the rules/regulations will work. So in other words, don't sweat about it. ;)

Way to start the year!

I thought I would let everyone decide what track they would want to race on the next week, preferably real-life tracks.

So does everyone have Spa? That could be for Race 1.
 
My personal 5 would be:

Spa
Monza
Suzuka
Eiger Nordwand (It actually exists, just looks different)
Nordschleife (With LIGHT damage) maybe 3 or 4 laps.

That could be interesting. You get 2 high speed ones. Then 2 technical tracks, then a mix of the two.
 
Tracks that imo suit this car are:

Spa
Suzuka
Grand Valley Speedway Or East (Not real but this is my favorite Fwd track ever :sly:)
Tsukuba (Maybe)
Indy road course

Nordschleife is a possibilty and a few other tracks like Fugi but yet to try them so ill need to reserve judgement. Also not too sure Monza in these would be that great.

SPA
Monaco (Cote d'azur)

Nordschleife

What sort of connection do you have for your PS3 (wired or wireless)? When I hosted the Nissan Z Championship, we used a public lobby and had no problems aside from racers occasionally not being able to join.

As for the tracks, as I've said before, I'll let you choose right after a race. So after the Pre-Season race, you guys can decide what track you would like to race on. That way, you'll get a weeks notice.

Also, would anybody like to be a secondary host in case I'm not available?
 
Penguin - I have a wireless conection. Its not terribly good. Although in this PRL F1 championship, i havent DSC once. But just do it in your lounge :)
 
I personaly prefer open lobbies, every series im in does it. (WSGTC, Pure, FMSC and Rx7s)

Any particular reasons for your preferences? :)

I like Online Lobbies myself because you just seem to have so much more choice in terms of adjusting lobby settings. However, this seems to have been adressed in a 2.xx update.

So basically, I'm open, but please give me reasons for your choices. ;)

Well, normally i DSC alot from online lobbys, however, a couple of nights ago i spent 4 hours in a lounge (Golfers), that is porbably the most time i spent in 1 lobby.
 
I thought mine was self explanitory :confused:
 
For tracks my preferences are:
1. Suzuka
2. Spa
3. Monza
4. Nurburgring Nordschleife
5. Trial Mountain

Hey Penguin, glad to see you back with another series. This one is a series I´ll complete because now I´m on vacation.
I have the DLC with Spa so there is no problem with that matter.
