ARL Super GT Season 2, Round 5, 26-Mar.

giphy.gif
 
I'm sorry I disappeared guys. Got a lot going on, but not in a bad way. The guys on the Discord would have seen more of me lately since I've started down the iRacing path (blame @NASCARNATE91). I'm by no means done with GTS, but am on a bit of a break. The original plan was to do both sims, but the huge difference between GTS and iRacing is really messing with my competitive nature lol. It's much easier to transition from ACC to iRacing than it is from GTS.

So yeah...I won't be doing too much racing on this platform in the near future, but everything is fine and I'll be around.

Hope all is good with everyone. Keep racing!

Glad everybody who decided to make it came out and raced. This series is fun and hopefully we can grab a few more people to join.

The next race is round 5 on March 26th(my bday)
Fuji International(short) 4:45 Time of Day
58 Laps.

This is a double points race!

If you know anybody who wants to join in on the GT500 class please send them this way. Our GT300 class still looks pretty strong but also would be fine with 1 or 2 more joining in that class.


See everybody next time!
 
@Moby45 we have the same birthday how cool. Hope I can make the race cause I am definitely going through some racing withdrawals. Finally got to fill in for a gt3 race last night and it felt foreign for about the first 10 laps until the muscle memory started coming back. I literally haven't raced at all outside of when I've raced with arl in the past few months.

I do wish iRacing was more active on GTPlanet. Other than the voice channel (which I barely use anyway) I enjoy GTP a lot better than Discord. Can’t really explain why but I do. It’s also wayyyyyy better than the iracing forums. There’s a lot of guys still in here I miss racing with. :cheers:

Tires
For each class you may choose whatever tire manufacturer you like. However there will be a max of 2 cars per class that may use the same tire brand.


Pit Window
Tire wear and Fuel X2
GT500 cars may not pit before Lap 10 in race and 10 laps from finish unless for damage.
You must pit at least once per race in this window. If you pit outside of this window you must pit again in the window.
GT300 cars may pit at anytime after lap 7.
For each class. You don't have to change compounds if you wish. But you must change the tires
I will put up a pit window for each race to remind you of these.

Points: For each class

1. 20
2. 16
3. 12
4. 10
5. 8
6. 6
7. 4
8. 3
9. 2
10. 1

Points will be doubled for The long Fuji race and the Suzuka 250
This season to encourage more people we will be introducing a worst race rule. Ergo if you are unable to make a race or score bad in one, that will not count against you. I am aware people have a life outside of this game.

DNF
You will not score points if you do not finish at least 70% or greater (rounded up) of the total laps of the leader in your class.
If you get disconnected you will score half points of the number of people finishing
(for example if there are 5 people in your class that start the race, and you get disconnected. You will score 4 points)

At the end of the season the winners in each class will be mailed a real life trophy as with season1

Fastest lap in race and qualifying for each class

Pole Position 1 PT
Fastest lap 2 Pts

Success Ballast:

Pole Position +1% weight

1st +2%weight, -1% power
2nd +2%weight
3rd +1%weight

( for example. If you get pole position and win the race in your class. You will have +3% weight, and -1% power for the next race)

This will accumulate to a max of +10% weight for the rest of the season. Power will the be reduced once the max 10% weight ballast has been reached, at a rate of -2% power Per race

Bonus Ballast:

This will be a break to some people who finish last in each class.
Last -1% weight, +2% power

Qualifying:

Will consist of 2 (two) 7 minute sessions for each class. This may be moved to a single session for longer races. The session time will be 10 mins with no fuel or tire wear

GT300 cars will go first. After the time is up and you finish your final lap. please head to the pits and stay greened up or your lap will not count and you will be moved to the back. If you are unable to set a time for whatever reason. You may go into the Q2 session.

room will reset after i have got times

GT500 cars will then start there laps. After the time is up you will be asked to finish your lap and return to the pits.

The room will then reset and I will set the grid.

I would like to enter the series but I’m still a bit unsure how to do so. I’m not good with things like this
 
Alex Wynn
Thank you I appreciate it. Also I may need to to a part season because I am on deployment to Japan right now so times that I’ll be available may not match up
Click to expand...

You are more than welcome to join. We need a GT500 classed car in the field so if you would take a look at the first post of this forum and look over the classified cars let me know which one you want to drive.

Just let me know your car choice, sponsor and tire make choice. Review the livery rules on the same post and try to make a livery according to the guidelines. If you need help making one just ask and somebody here will be able to help.

Add me to your PSN friends list( Moby45 ) and add @PApunk924 as well.


Welcome! Hope you have fun!
 
I have 3 confirmations. I need at least 8 confirmed otherwise I will have to postpone the race.
 
Stryker13
I'm in, but I'm also good with postponing to get more drivers on grid
Click to expand...

Yup, same....drivers on the grid!! I will still probably be running something tonight if we dont do this race though.

Come on folks....this league and format is sooo much fun!! Come join in !!

Edit: I'm also nice and heavy now and Fuji is a very agreeable track, so my win streak should end!!

I will have to postpone this. Just had a truck come in late at work and they 'need' me.

Fkers. But at least I get a pretty penny of OT pay.

@scarecrow937 since you showed interest in helping. If we still have a good amount of people showing up would you run the race tonight? If not no big deal we can postpone.
 
@Moby45
I can definitely host if we proceed forward. You and I may have been the only 500s racing though...

I'll keep an eye on the thread and throw up a lobby as needed.

Edit: I will probably throw a lobby up regardless for fun-running of something if no SuperGT

That will work. If you do end up having an actual race just send me the results and I will update the points and ballast.
