What premade liveries do you have for us to choose from? I like mine but I'm curious what you've got lying around.

I have one in Shell V-Power colors similar to the Mustang V8 Supercar, and a highlighter yellow one for Volt Lighting. Also the Total and the blue Flyin' Miata ones pictured above.

Welcome everyone. We're back! Some of you might recognize the name of this series, some of you will not. FMSC started way back in the GT5 days, in nearly stock NA Miata's where we frequently filled TWO rooms almost every race weekend. This will be our seventh season, and although we have graduated to the Roadster TC along the way, the close racing has always been a major highlight since the beginning. Several participants from this series in the past have gone on to compete in GT Academy finals, and are still active in the FIA events.

This season we'll be following a unique format largely influenced by a real life racing series, and I think everyone will quite enjoy it. Some details:
  • Total of 6 rounds for points, 1 pre-season round to confirm settings
  • 10 minute qualifying session followed by three 15 minute sprint races
  • Some races will feature a reverse grid
Feel free to take a look around, and if you are interested in participating please take a moment to vote in the attached poll for your preferred start time.

What a championship! Of course I'll join! I'm number 33! I already made my beautiful livery!
 
Announcement:
​
It appears that we may end up getting more people registered to race than will fit into a single room, so @Wardez and I have devised a plan to sort everyone out for potentially running two rooms on race day. So, here is the plan. I just sent out friend requests to everyone on the registration list. Make sure you accept that request as you will need it to be able to access the lobby on race day. For the time being, it will allow me to see you on record lists within the game, and that is how we will do this.

Everyone has until Saturday, September 14th to run the 1-Lap Circuit Experience at Tsukuba Circuit in the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO.Final Gr.4. Your best time will then be used to determine the lobby that you will compete in for the pre-season race at Interlagos. We will likely not run the first room at capacity with only a few in the 2nd room, so they will be split pretty evenly. After the pre-season event is over, we'll make adjustments accordingly. Anyone that registers after that day will slot into one room or the other.

Sounds like a good idea, but why use a car that won't represent how fast we can drive the Miata?

It's probably the most tame car in the whole Circuit Experience mode. :P I want it to be in something perminant that we can track for the whole season. We thought about using the current online TT or the Daily Race qualifying but they change a lot. The only other way is to appoint people to open lobbies when someone needs it and run a supervised hot lap, which is how we used to do qualifying in the past for this series anyway. I definitely don't have the time for that, not sure if anyone else in here does either. This I think is the easiest way.
 
True, but I've never had an issue with anyone reverse-sandbagging. I'm not trying to convince you to do it differently, just discussing what I know. SNAIL does it this way with a specific car on a specific track that they don't tell you about until you sign up so you can't get extra practice before hand. You're told to run as many laps as you like until you feel you can't go faster and then share the replay for their stewards to review. Another way to do that is to have people take screenshots of their settings and their screen showing fastest lap when they're done. It's still a lot to ask, but either way I trust everyone here to be honest. There's no point in hiding your speed because you'll just know right away and adjust accordingly.
 
For another league we got people to come in a lobby when they were available and do a short qualy session first (keeping the best lap), and then run a 5 lap session with tyre wear and take the average lap time from that. The addition of qualy + average was the time taken into account to make the splits. We were having up to 4 cars at the same time, each setting off 20 seconds after the other.

For this I guess either just qualy or a 2 laps average would be good enough.

For me, having limited time, this is the easiest thing we came up with. We can perfect it in the future should we need to for additional seasons.
 
Hello

I'm interested in this, but not sure I can make the slots. Its a good choice of car for a lobby championship.
I won't register as yet. I will follow this thread and send R1600Turbo a friend request.
