This is a semi-realistic series based on the real life Rolex Series. This is a CLEAN racing league, no intentional hits, bumps and dirty driving. We do all understand that mistakes happen, you push too hard or make a stupid pass attempt. Thats ok, just dont make it too intentional or a habit.

The series will be made up of two classes, the DP or Daytona Prototype class is made up of four lmp cars becuase there arent any daytona prototype cars in the game, and the GT class, this is made up of four street cars that have all gt auto aero upgrades and end up looking like their real life counterparts (for the most part).

If interested add polarbear345 and smith1001 on playstation network.

We now have a feeder series! The Contenintal Tire Series: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=6903981#post6903981

Monza:35 laps-Done!

Indy road course:65 laps-Done!

Nurbugring gp/f:35 laps-Done!

Suzuka:41 laps-Done!

Fugi speedway gt:35 laps-Done!

Circuit De La Sarthe 2009 with chicanes:17 laps-Done!

Mazda raceway laguna seca:75 laps-Done!


Starts:

These will be a little different than most leagues so read carefully. We will be doing a rolling start for both classes. The starts will be staggered (if you dont know what this means, ask me ill be glad to tell you). What will happen is that the DP cars will set off on their formation lap (75 mph) around the track with the GT cars staying stationary on the grid. Once the DP cars have all cleared the first turn, the GT cars will set off on their formation lap (also 75 mph). Rules for both classes on formation lap below:

DO NOT HIT ANYONE!!!- its a formation lap, no passing!

GO SINGLE FILE! only go double file on the front straight (special exeption at Daytona)

Once the race leader crosses the finish line, the race has started!



North American Endurance Championship:

Just like the real life series, we are doing the north american endurance championship. The three races that make up this championship will be:

Daytona Road Course: 75 laps

Indianapolis Road Course: 65 laps

Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca: 75 laps

These tracks were chosen because they were in the championship in real life, with the exeption of watkins glen :(. These will be longer "endurance" races, like in real life. There will be a sperate points championship. These races will count to the normal chamionship, in addition to the naec.


If you know you will miss a weekend, or a quialifying session, but can make the race LET US KNOW! That way we arent waiting for anyone, and we can get a good guess at how many people will be there.

This is perfect lets keep all discussion about cars and regs here. Also I'm liking your new thread layout. Try to get the old thread closed and once we have the final regs available for the cars we can start the pre season and then race day ^_^

Also my Toyota GT1 report so far I'm getting the DP class done first as they are easier to get on the same level.

Alright so today is a Saturday-race day. Due to the circumstances now, we are going to use todays "race" as a multi car test session and the more cars the better! if you can make it please join us at about 6:30pm est! both gt and dp cars will be needed, the format is undetermind i was thinking instead of doing one big race we could do a few 10-15 lappers on a few tracks so we can get the realitive performance between cars.

Hope to see you there!
 
Will try to be there. I have to join after 7:00 the so if your doing multiple races I could join the last few.

All the eligible cars are listed. Hope you don't pull too much hair out trying to figure it out! Let us know when you decide!
 
Is it okay for me to join the "test" race that's on tonight? :)

I'm interested in this series but I don't have a good feel for either type of classes, so I will bring my Peugeout 908 and see if I like it (bought it but never drove!). Maybe it will be useful for you guys also 👍

I will add both you guys, that ok?
 
I'm not gonna be there but I call one of the vipers and if someone wants to use a viper I have two I can send one to you next time I'm online

Ya but we don't want too many cars and with four then each car has two drivers

Also I haven't been keeping up with rfactor 2 mods are there any cool ones yet? I know it's still a beta but has anyone made anything cool
 
They have Infineon Stock car and Sports car course, Walktins Glen GP and National, Plam Beach, Malaysia, Snetterton 300, Classic Spa and Monaco, Estoril, Putnam Park, Mid-Ohio, and some other track. Dubai, Fuji, and Croft are almost done.

As for cars they have 1960's F1, F2, and F3. They also have the 2012 F1 Mods. So far Red Bull and Mclaren Mercedes. They also have Formula Renault 3.5, Renault Megane Touring Cars, a Nissan GT-R GT car and a Nissan 370Z GT Car. BMW F12008 Mod too. 2012 Indy car and Touring Cars are in progress. Enduracers, the biggest sportscar mod makers ever are going to convert all of their LMP1, LMP2, GT1, GT2, mods. There are many more tracks and cars in progress, we just don't know yet.
