A feeder series of the Flyin' Miata Super Cup


Welcome to the all new Flyin' Miata Saturday EuroLeague!​
This is, as the name would suggest, a Saturday version of the hugely popular Flyin' Miata Super Cup, hosted by R1600Turbo. However, the times have been put back to make it Euro friendly, as the name also suggests. This doesn't mean you have to be from Europe to compete though - the times are still relatively friendly to North America.

This will also take up the majority of racing for the FMSC throughout the summer, after the postponing of the registrations for the full version until late October.

The news board will be located here for important notices. Information you need will be further down the page.

News Board
27/07 - Thread created, registration opened.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will be using the specs from the Flyin' Miata Super Cup for this championship, as well as the rules. Click on the links for the respective information.

Rules

Practice Room Format:

Anyone that is on the current registration list is allowed to open a practice room, as long as there is not already one open. It is highly recommended that you create the room as a Fixed Host so that when you leave random people that are not part of the series do not take over the room. If others want to keep practicing, they can open a new room using these same rules.

Practice room settings are as follows:

- 396pp limit, Sport Medium tires
- All aids OFF except for ABS
- Grip Reduction set to REAL
- Penalties OFF
- Damage LIGHT


Qualifying:

One or two (depending on track size) chosen drivers go out one at a time to attempt a 2-lap qualifying run. When the qualifying session begins on track, one driver will be chosen to start their out lap first and the second driver will be told to hold on the line for 20 seconds until they can start.

All other visitors in the room will be watching the driver(s) to make sure their laps are clean. The room will be set to a 4 lap race. Only laps 2 and 3 will count as qualifying "flying lap" times. All drivers are allowed to attend both qualifying sessions, but can only make one qualifying attempt.

- Fastest lap from each driver will determine starting position
- Top 16 qualifiers race on Saturday
- If you cannot make an official qualifying session, send me a PM beforehand
- Please refrain from microphone usage or messaging while someone is qualifying

Drivers that do not attempt a qualifying run during the week leading up to the current race will not be allowed to race on Saturday. The exception to this rule is a driver who, leading up to said race, is ranked 1 thru 5 in the championship points. That driver will then grid at the rear of the field for the start of the race.



The top 16 Qualifiers after all qualifying sessions will race in the main event on Saturday evening. Those drivers who did not complete a fast enough qualifying time to compete in the Flyin' Miata Super Cup race will sit out the race.


To grid the cars at the beginning of the race, the race steward will call each drivers PSN name in the exact order qualified. One at a time, each driver will line up on a chosen straight away on the track, in order of their qualifying position. The room will be set to grid drivers according to the "fastest first" option. Once the race steward starts the race with all drivers parked in qualifying order, the game will put everyone in that identical order on the starting grid.

- Races will be held Sunday nights at 8:00PM EDT. Room opens at 7:00PM EDT
- Open practice is allowed upon entry. Grid placement starts at 7:50PM EDT
- False starts will be turned ON
- Microphones are not allowed during the race, please turn them OFF
- Drivers are highly encouraged to race CLEAN
- If you have a problem with another driver, please send them a PM on GTP
- A mandatory mid-race pit stop is required

Drivers that disconnect from the room will be marked with a DNF and will be issued points based on their order of race exit. Example; Driver A disconnects first, they will receive points equivalent to last place, etc. If a driver feels the need to quit the race, they will be required to remain in the race lobby until the finish of the race to earn points based on their order of race exit. If said driver quits race lobby, they will forfeit those points and will receive zero points for the race. Quitting the race and parking your car on the side of the race track is distracting to other drivers, and is strictly prohibited.

Feel free to ask any other questions in this thread.

As with the original FMSC, all information in the post is for FMSC use only. I myself have been given permission to start the series using the rules through R1600Turbo. If you wish to use any layouts of his, then contact him to let him know or it will be considered stealing and will result in a report.

I'm interested and registered on the site, will you be running any practice races?
 
Can I just ask as to why the '89 car is inferior to the '91 due to the specs in every aspect?

The '91 has 8BHP more and weighs 19KG less and is rated at 2PP more (394) :odd:
 
We found this out last year when testing for season 1. We tried everything to even up the performance sensibly but the '91's just not as good a car as a base. They're close enough now but I'd only recommend those looking for a challenge to pick one up.
 
Ahh okay, thanks :) i was just wondering since i haven't had chance to drive then yet and i've just built both cars up.

I'm planning on setting up a practice room in an hour or two if anyone's interested in joining me. I'll post on here once i've set it up or add me on psn.
 
When is this likely to start. I want to start online racing. I have joined public rooms but I want to take the next step.
 
I presume when there's enough people signed up on the register, you'll have to ask C-ZETA for sure though :)
 
I've opened a practice room if anyone wishes to join me.

The room is called: FMSC EURO PRACTICE
alternatively the room number is: 1472-6681-3200-9598-3706

Yes, preseason races will be done, but since I can't put the schedule up on the website I might resort to just putting it here.

What time on a Saturday?

6:00 PM GMT is when the races are being done.
 
I know my time zone looks like an odd fit. But I am keen to get up for a 4am race. I've setup my pink '89 and started to get used to it.

How long before the pre-season? I won't be fast, just keen.

It was supposed to start on the Saturday I got back from my holiday but with only 4 people here signed up it's not likely to be happening then...:indiff:
 
Well I'll help out by showing up to some practice races. You should organize some. After we have a couple good practices and increase the post count size here then more people are bound to come.

Remember this is a snowball effect so it might seem sad at first but so did any of the big series.

So let's do it!
 
I've now got a rough schedule up now. Dates aren't confirmed yet, and custom track layouts will come later on.
 
Sounds good to me :) I might also have a friend that's interested in joining this.

Nice to know. I think the reason Turbo couldn't put it up on his website is because he didn't have the logo. But meh...it's up here now, so yeah.
 
I'm actually shutting the site down in the next couple days, so if you want to put everything in this thread that would work best. 👍

Right then OK...so I'd assume you'll be giving me a separate Google Docs page for the registration list. I'll get the rules in here soon, that's the only thing I might need to worry about putting in here I think...

Do you need a separate registration page?

Do you need a separate registration page?

Isn't the registration form linked to the Google Docs list anyway?
 
Yeah. If you're looking for the link to view the current list, I can get you that tonight.
 
ive been watching both FMSCs a while and when i found out the one R1600 ran was postponed to winter i was like :grumpy: but if we can get this one up and running id be up for it 👍

ive also got the 2 cars up to spec and will do some tests to see which suits me better ;)

I'd like that then please.

I love the racing games. Please let me know how and when i can able to join your public room or a part of this race ???

Simply register up on the first post if you haven't already and you're in.

And the rules have now been moved to the first page as well. I'm not sure about when the qualifying actually will be, I would either do it on Friday night (evening) or in the same lobby as the race. What you all be thinking?
 
ive registered after testing happier with the 89 as the 91 feels 'floppy' and loose compaired to the 89 which feels like it will never let go :)

I never tried the '91 in FMSC spec myself, just my purple and white Cadbury's sponsored '89 :D But yeah the '91 is claimed to be slower so yeah.

Driver list link is now updated...
 
I'm preferring the '89 right now over the '91, it just seems to be better set up.

Yeah, as has been aforementioned the '91 is a little slower so you should only really pick it if you want a challenge. I should update the first post to say this to be fair...
