Welcome to the D-Max’s GT500 Battle Series League ONE! Created by myself and xUXIOUSx. This series uses a unique and exciting format. Weekly events will alter the participants’ position on the league’s leader board, deciding how of if they qualify for next week’s event, and of course their final League position.

This 10 driver series accepts all who wish to qualify, as long as they can appreciate a safe racing etiquette. (Events are to be heavily marshalled)

1v1 events will play as a knock-out format, with points awarded from 10 downwards to all drivers.

If the series is successful, the top 5 drivers will continue into series 2, with a guaranteed place and first choice of car.

We plan to complete Qualifying as soon as possible to begin the official series start sometime shortly after Christmas.

The series will run as independents, but are free to team up to help with car tunes etc.

To clear up, Stealth GT500's are ALLOWED.

Room is set to Heavy damage for Nurburgring. For all others:
Light Damage,
Boost off,
Slipstream Weak,
Grip reduction Real,
Tyre wear ON.

Vehicle Restrictions:

Premium GT500 Class
Power: 500BHP
Weight: 1100kg
Tyres: Racing [ANY]

Two of each car is allowed in series


EVENTS:
(Numbers and events likely to vary in relation to participants closer to the event)

Events will take place on Mondays at 7PM GMT for main events. 1v1 battles over a couple of days if needed, and qualifying will be held over a couple of weeks.

League Qualifying
All entrants complete 3 laps of Suzuka, fastest lap is counted. Laps will be spectated by a series official during pre-planned sessions. 10 cars will be entering the first battle event, to be applicable; your leader board time must be within the top 10 drivers.

Drivers who do not make the first event will enter the reserve list in priority of your time, and may have opportunities to enter the higher bracket.

1v1 Monaco
[Bracket style event]
Cars race between turn 1 and the final corner. Drivers will alternate leading on every pit straight until follower can pass during lap, while holding the leading place in the next lap.

City GT [5 car battle]
15 lap Rome (set to 25)
Two seperate 5 car races
Mandatory pit
Safety car rolling start
SC RULES:
(70 mph) SC joins track in front of leader from end of pit. SC will be typed to alert all drivers. SC accelerates into pit just before last corner, race leader controls pace, must full pace before second ‘pit’ board. Pitting is allowed during Safety car laps. The SC will be deployed if a driver looses time or places due to an incident they were not involved in.
NO OVERTAKING BEFORE START/FINISH LINE.
INCIDENT RULES:
SC will lead for the required laps, and race finish lap will increase as necessary. Cars affected by the incident will return to their positions before the crash. Causer of crash will return to back of pack. Cars in race must brake to avoid all crashed cars, and not take advantage of collisions.

Pressure battle
[Bracket style event]
Autumn ring mini
1v1 style battles
20 Laps
Car one starts at top left corner, car 2 starts at start/finish line.
Cars chase eachother for 20 laps. Battles can be won either by gaining the most distance on the other driver or overtaking by the 20th lap.
The race is made challenging both by the balance of tyre wear, and the mental impact of the racing pressure on such a tight track.

Nurburgring Night battle
[Bracket style event]
From end to start of straight at night
Race starts as leader turns onto line straight
Leading driver under Audi Bridge wins
If a driver falls back from the leader or causes an accident, they are disqualified.
Three battles will race at a time, with a staggered start and a series official specatating each.

Pro GT race
10 Car grid
10 laps Suzuka (set to 20)
10 min qualifying
Mandatory pit
SC Rolling start
INCIDENT RULES
See Rome. SC throttles away shortly before chicane, leader must full pace before pit wall.

Stealth GTR allowed?

I think this could be pretty cool providing it works how your expecting it to.

Can't 100% commit at this moment in time but I am interested!
 
I'd like to join as it looks like a good concept but time zone won't allow me. I think it would be something like 6am

Nope preisty, 4WD will add too much of an advantage and the car's styling would not fit in with the style of the series.

I see no reason why the series would not work, unless we have very few drivers qualify.

Aaw monstar, that's a real shame!

All applicants will be added to the list once I get back to my pc, likely late tonight.

It's not 4wd, it's the GT-R GT500 so it's based on the GT500 models and looks the same, FR 1050kgs (could add 50kgs) to get to 1100kgs) and it runs at the same PP/power plus it's allowed to run in rooms when cars are restricted to GT500 class only.

I will join, Stealth if you change you mind and allow it, if not Yellow Hat Supra.

Mondays are good for me, the only reason I wasn't sure is I'll have my wheel next week so it's gonna take a couple of weeks to get used to it, meaning I'll be slower than normal for awhile! lol
 
This looks interesting. I can't say I understand it all as I have a major hangover. I won't commit as the start time is a but early for me on a Monday but I shall watch with interest. Good luck with this guys.
 
If you choose the same car as someone else does that mean that you're on a team with them? Just wondering because I'm interested in the yellow hat supra aswell :)
 
Hmm, now that the stealth cars have been mentioned, i quite fancy going the GT500 NSX! But idk, i'll have to test them out. I'll get back to you on it Chris. (If not the Stealth Model, I like the Arta NSX too)
 
I see no reason why people can't use stealth GT500 cars :)

What are the event and regulation settings??

Still sorting it out, we'll put them up in the next day or so.

We also need a couple more race officials if anyone wants to volunteer :)
 
I'd be up for being an official :)
Will anyone be around tonight? i'd like to have a play around with the cars and whatnot ;)

UPDATE:
Nurburgring 1v1's are the scariest races I've ever seen! Will see some great racing there once the series begins.

Can I also request Racing Hard if we are running on 500HP?

These cars are far too easy on softs. I'd like a challenge in my competitor aswell as my car
 
Cool...Im just waiting on the time and date for the races and I'll join....👍
 
Hmmm, a nice suggestion Jimmy, will try it out tomorrow, but you might change your mind when trying a Nurb battle, these cars aren't exactly slow!

KK20, I trust that races will begin within the first few weeks of the new year, with qualifying and testing just before.
