Hi guys and welcome to Formula R, the latest championship from the APEX group.

The LCC Rocket invokes the spirit and rawness of the 60s Formula cars but with the balance and precision of its modern day open wheel racer cousins. In this championship, 16 drivers will pilot tuned versions of these radical single seaters, each aiming for the glory of becoming champion. Are you ready?


  • Car: Light Car Company Rocket '07

  • Racing Brake Kit
  • Fully Customisable Transmission
  • Triple Plate Clutch Kit
  • Racing Exhaust
  • Isometric Exhaust Manifold
  • Catalytic Converter: Sports
  • High RPM Range Turbo Kit

  • +200KG Ballast Weight @ -11%

Any other modifications found on the car including but not limited to customisable suspension and LSD, and you will be permanently banned from any future events.



Qualifying:

  • We will have two qualifying sessions at each round. The 1st session is for everyone, and is 10 mintues long. The 2nd session is for the top 6 qualifyers from the 1st session, and they will have 5 minutes to qualify again.

  • Once you have entered qualifying, you are not allowed to exit. If you need new tyres, you finish your lap, pit and continue.

  • When coming in and out of the pits, make sure you stay within the white/yellow lines. Failure to do so may lead to a time penalty.

  • If you are on your out lap, in lap or a lap where you have made a mistake, make sure you move when other racers are coming past.
    • No stopping on the track is allowed.
    • NO Contact is allowed in qualifying, nor is any blocking. Make sure you have a nice gap between you and your fellow competitors so that events like this do not occur.





Warm Up Lap:



  • At the start of a race, the cars will set off at cruise speed (60 - 100 MPH) around the track for one lap.

  • Cars will then return to their respective grid slot, park up and wait for everyone else to return.

  • Tyre warming is allowed in the warm-up lap, such as agressively weaving or burnouts.

  • Drivers are expected to keep a distance between themselves and everyone else on the Warm-up lap. We do not want any crashes.

  • Once the drivers return to thier grid position, they will wait unti lDaxCobra calls a number out. (Example 2:00.000) This means that once the 'Total Time' timer reaches this certain number, the drivers are free to launch their cars into the race.

  • If someone launches too early, even if it is only slightly, they may be subject to a Time Penalty. (Example: 0.1 second early = 5 second penalty)


Racing:

  • Each race will require a compound change between the Sports Soft and Sports Hard compound..

  • The tyres that you qualify on are the tyres you will start the race on.


  • Upon entering and leaving the pits, stay within the white/yellow lines.


  • Backmarkers have the right to the racing line, but they should not defend their position against race leaders.


  • If you have suffered due to one of these rules being broken, do NOT talk about it in the chat. Simply file the complaint towards one of t


RULES OF RACING - CORRECT RACECRAFT

Three Minor penalties will end in a major.

What classifies as a Major penalty or a Minor penalty will be subject to stewards opinions, but for an example, a Major would be knocking another driver off of the track, and a Minor would be cutting the white lines out of the pits.

Thanks for the invite but I'm not sure I'll do it because of GT6's tosh online.
 
Since you've been inactive for a while, I'll help you get rolling again. I've yet to take part in a GT6 race series anyway.

I can't change the wheels on my Rocket though, did you check that before putting wheel colour in the sign up info?

I'm surprised to hear that the two best drivers haven't been racing in any series in GT6 ^^ I'd love to get racing with this gang of bafoons again so let's sign up.

Op please edit driver list, i put my old gtp id which i dont use anymore. The correct one is glenn88. Sorry

On topic : when is the next session ?
 
Basically, all of the F1 tracks plus a couple of the ol' favourites from JCRS etc.

I will do some testing this weekend and see.

Of course, Monaco will return. That is at least one win for me this season. ;)

Monza '80s?

So much better than the modern one.
