This is something that I have been wanting to do for a while. So, the time has come for me to put my plans into action. This series comes in to action based on my love for Rally Racing, and my obsession with driving on curvy mountain roads. Hopefully my passion is shared throughout and we can all make this "event" one of the greatest experiences in GT5 Online racing history.
Now, the future of this series depends on two things. First, if we have enough interest and/or participation. There will be a lot of open spots for racing, and having them filled throughout the entire event would be amazing. And second, my future after my GT Academy trip to Silverstone is still up in the air. I have been informed by the powers that be, that I can continue my online racing once I get back so we should be OK there.
Basic stuff I have come up with so far is below. Any comments, concerns, suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Tracks:
- Targa Toscana : Stage 1 through 5 (street circuit)
- Created by myself and tested for consistency/fun factor
- Each about 3 to 5 minutes in length
- Some with more turns, some with higher speeds
Car Classes: (There will be 5 separate classes that will participate)
- Level 1: 300 to 400pp with Sport Hard tires
- Level 2: 401pp to 500pp with Sport Medium Tires
- Level 3: 501pp to 600pp with Sport Soft Tires
- Level 4: 601pp+ with Sport Soft Tires and downforce allowed
- Classic: Pre-1975 Cars up to 500pp with Sport Medium Tires
- NO Racing Tires
- NO Race Cars (Rally Cars OK - check with me first)
- Downforce adders allowed in Level 4 Class only!
Race Format:
- Up to 8 cars can run at the same time, sorted by class
- Race will be set to 2 laps, first one timed, second cool-down and finish
- Cars will leave the line in 20 second intervals, fastest first
- Lap time (not total time) counts as stage time
- ALL Aids OFF, ABS at 1
- Off track traction set to REAL
- Damage set to HEAVY
- Penalties OFF
A few additional things to note:
- I will make each stage available for download one week prior to that stages running. This gives everyone participating exactly one week to practice the next stage.
- Race times will be Saturdays and Sundays, earlier in the day so our Euro friends can participate.
- These will NOT be door to door races! This is a rally, done one stage at a time with time trials!
- Other than the specified PP level, downforce and Tire restrictions, tuning is completely OPEN. Have fun with this one!
When I think of more I will edit this page and put it in. No fancy graphics or anything yet as the interest in this series will determine if we move forward. I am posting now so we can get everything up and organized before I come back from Silverstone, at which time we will start the event.
