This is a fresh and ongoing series geared toward tuning a car to best of your abilities and having different cars on track week after week. The series is still new with currently 6 racers involved, but we are looking for more participants. Please don't be discouraged from joining because we have already started, this is only the first trial season and we want it to grow!
The way this series will work is as follows. It will be a random series! Meaning the winner of the current weeks race will pick new rules to follow for the next week. This will leave a full week for everyone to put a car together for whatever track and regulations the winner picks. Races will last for about an hour . All applicable GTP OLR apply. All race events will begin on thursday 9:00pm est.
While the winner gets to choose the event, there will be a disadvantage for the winner as well. This is to give the winner a harder challenge and at the same time keep the same person from winning week after week. The disadvantage will accrue until that person loses.
- The previous week winner and current weeks rule setter will have to take a 2% weight penalty (i.e. If the winner of the last weeks race currnet car weighs 1000 kilos then he has to add 20 kilos to their car.)
- The ballasted weight may be moved, so this is not a total disadvantage.
- If the winner continues to win each race there ballast accrues an additional 2% of the cars total weight. ( not including previous ballasts)
- i.e. On a 1000kg car, 20kg turns to 40kg and so on. Meaning, a 2 week winning streak would impose a 4% wieght ballast of that weeks current car.
This is a ten race series. Points will be awarded at the end of each scheduled time trial, and race.
points will be awarded as follows.
- 1 point for fastest time trial logged before thursday's race. This result must be posted on the forum in the discussion thread.
- 1st place 6 points
- 2nd place 4 points
- 3rd place 3 points
- 4th place 2 points
- 5th place 1 point
- 6th place 0 points

So far the races have been very fun and competitive. The only thing to make them better will be more cars on track!
(We have had 4 races already, but only two counting toward the series so far.)
