Combo Championship Series 2011





With the LEGEND series coming to an end on Sunday 31/07/11, it is time for the next online racing league. Welcome to the COMBO CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES.


THE CHAMPIONSHIP

The aim of this championship is to have clean and fun racing with GTP friends on a weekly basis. The series is open to all GTP members as long as you are a clean and fair racer and follow our rules, which can be found in this thread:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=111241


Race meetings will be on Sundays 8pm GMT starting on Sunday 07/08/2011. The series will hopefully continue for 8 weeks.

This series will test your skills in all diciplines of SU2. You will have to show your abilities in racing tactics, track knowledge, tuning capabilities, endurance stamina and above all being FAST. We will compete for three individual titles, a team trophy and the ultimate prize...the overall winner, to be crowned the UNLEASHED CHAMPION 2011.

As the name implies, this series will comprise a combination of racing in three different classes each race meeting :
* a Class D race
* a FIA GT3 race
* an Open Event

At the end of the series, there will be a Class D winner, a FIA GT3 winner, and an Open champion. The UNLEASHED CHAMPION will be the racer with the highest average score of Class D, GT3 and the Open Events combined.

Class D Races

--- No restriction on cars. You can choose your own favourite as long as the PI does not exceed 499
--- Tuning allowed
--- Upgrades: user defined
--- The use of nitrous allowed
--- Racing will be on the shorter tracks which will include some City circuits
--- More or less 5 laps per race depending on the track

FIA GT3 Races

--- To level the racing field, we will all use the same car for each race
--- We will use a different car and track each Sunday
--- Tuning allowed
--- Racing will be on the longer tracks
--- Probably 10 laps per race

This is where the Team Racing comes into play. Fighting for the GT3 TEAM TROPHY. Each racer will have to pick a teammate for this series of races. We will still be racing for individual points, but additionally earning points as a two man team. I am leaving the choice of a teammate up to you guys. My suggestion is to pick someone in the same timezone as it will make practice easier and more convenient.


The Open Event

This event is going to be the real challenge. There is no specific outline what to expect each Sunday. It can be anything from a Class B race at Zolder,a Retro race at Dijon, a V8 at Laguna, Endurance with a GT1 at Monza to a time trial with a Works at Hockenheim. Who knows ?? Be prepared for anything the race organisers can throw at you :yuck:


HOUSERULES

General housekeeping

1) Please inform me if you cannot participate. It saves everyone from waiting needlessly.
2) Chatroom: will open at 7.45pm. All racers HAVE to join the chatroom as invites for the race will be send from there. Try to be on time please.
3) Results : every racer has to record his position and time for every race (write it down on a piece of paper). I will try to record it, but may have to ask you to verify your position and time before posting the results.
4) Disconnect : if anyone is disconnected within the 1st lap of a race, the race will be stopped and restarted.
5) Complaints : hopefully this will be a non-issue, but if you have please do not use this thread to publicly criticise your fellow racers. Send me or one of the race stewards a PM and we will deal with it.
6) Penalties : may vary from a loss of points, disqualification or in case of a real bad attitude, exclusion from the championship.
7) Practice : pre- event practices can be held by anyone at any time and posted in this thread
8) Please add all the racers to your friends list. You may have to help sending invites when time runs out.
9) I am always open to ideas in how to improve this series. Please let me know at anytime if you have any suggestions. Critism is welcome as long as it is fair and positive
10) Mic's : if you have one, by all means use it


Racing rules

1) Clean, fair racing and follow the ORL.
2) Drive respectfully, excercise caution and try as best as you can to avoid contact.
3) If you knock someone of course accidentally, be courteous by stopping or slowing down and allow that racer to regain his position.
3) Don not judge other racers as dirty who accidently hit you, cut a corner or go off track. Remember we all make mistakes.
4) Do not impose selfmade penalties in the heat of the moment, such as blocking or slowing down. That is counter productive to the whole spirit of this series and spoils close and fun racing.
5) Remember that the race is not won at the first corner!!

Points will be awarded for each race (so win all 3 and you leave with 75 points - but that aint gonna happen ):
1st - 25
2nd - 20
3rd - 17
4th - 15
5th - 13
6th - 11
7th - 9
8th - 7
9th - 5
10th - 3
11th - 2
12th - 1

Okay dudes...sign ups are open....see you on the track 👍

What a great setup, Zeeco! 👍

There is no way I m gonna miss this league, count me in too! Except the first race, I probably gonna miss that. Since I will only return home from a short holiday Sunday evening and my plane lands at 7.15pm GMT, hmm... Nah, not gon make it! :indiff:

Which europeanite wants to be my teammate, despite that? I d be honoured to race with each one of you! :D

2 remarks, Zee: I dont have the Speedhunters DLC and wouldnt it be even cooler to devide GT3 cars between the teams? 2 take the Aston, 2 the R8, 2 the Corvette etc.
 
zeeco you are an absolute star mate i love it 👍👍:gtpflag:

by the way i'm in if i needed to say it:lol::lol:

How about us teaming up then Zeeco we can get plenty practise in ?

No worries about the Speedhunters DLC, we wont use it.

Dividing cars....mmm let me think about that one for a bit 💡

Done...Team OFR OLD FARTS RACING
 
S/W/M Looking for hot cheerleader, master chef, mechanic, millionare, massage therapist, exotic dancer, for a partner in Zee's new race series for Shift2. Must send picture along with resume.
 
I m gonna join forces with RomKnight to form Team ROFL! We gonna Rominate... eh, dominate y' all! Bow down! :D
 
I have another idea which I am quite excited about, but I first have to know a few things:

* are Sundays the only weekend day you guys can race?
* if so, would you be available (depending if you are interested ) to fit another half hour of racing in? Say starting at 7.30 pm GMT
* this idea of mine is not connected to the Combo Championship Series, but something different 💡

Please let me know :sly:

edit: just another idea, how about some racing (speaking about my new idea now) one weekday evening (if weekends are not convenient)? Split into a European evening (with one host) and a USA evening (with another host) to allow for the different timezones. Same specs for each race meeting. Times will then be submitted once the USA races are finished, and there we go, having a rolling league. The Grand Finale will be a head to head race on a mutually agreed day and time 💡

I tottally missed the GMT above :banghead: This is what happens when you stay up until 4am battling for Autolog positions with some texan guy (and end up losing) :grumpy:

Anyway, the new challenge can be on weekdays. In September Tuesdays will be off to me so maybe its better to choose another day from the beginning.

Hmmm...I believe it was you...beating my records first! :crazy: I know they key now...wait till its LATE where you live!

I am ok to race during the week, after 8pm Central US time.
 
I tried to race online last night at about 11pm UK time. Not joking there were no races available. After about 20 minutes , I joined the only race going. All the idjit did was ram me off. That is where I decided NO more random online 🤬 for me....and I started thinking about my new idea 💡

Do I foresee a crazy 8 destruction derby coming our way, full damage on and the last man standing wins?

If not I want credits for this 💡
 
Oh Oh! I dont even wanna kinda what kind of fabolous new records await me when I come home tomoro after 5 days... :scared: Prepare to wipe the floor with your jaw, FLX!

Weekdays are fine by me after 6pm GMT, by the way. Except tuesday like everybody. Cant wait to see what you cooked up, Zee!
 
I'm fine with weekdays around the same time as Vaxxtx. I could use some new times to beat. I'm excited for this new series Zeeco.
