It's not very often that I come forth with an idea for a racing series. In fact I believe all my previous ideas have been total flops. However, as the title suggests, this possible series would be a Group C series and would have a higher chance of taking place due to the fact that Group C cars are some of my favorites to drive in GT6. More details below.
At this point this is purely an interest check. I want to make that clear. If you think you might be interested in joining the series after you're done reading this post, then note it below. Also, if you have any suggestions, comments, concerns, etc, post those below as well. I may also need help setting this up and getting it going, so if you can help let me know.I am open to ideas and suggestions from others. However there are some things that at least right now I'd rather not have changed, and these are in bold. Moving on now.
The idea is actually pretty simple. The series, at least in my head, would bring together racers of all skill levels from day one beginner to day whatever expert in one event, probably one event each week or each two weeks. Therefore, racers would be allowed to use whatever aids they want to use or don't want to use, though most likely with some limitations such as no skid recovery force or active steering. Events would obviously consist of Group C cars and possibly some cars that have very nearly the same level of performance as your typical Group C car.
Events would consist of a practice session, qualifying session and the race. Qualifying position would not matter, nor would finishing position in the race since the primary principle I have in mind for this series is that it's simply just for fun and allows serious racers to take a break from their usual pace. To help encourage the "just for fun" atmosphere there would also be very minimal officiating and rules. I believe that having a regular race event rather than an open time trial/time attack or similar event would help to bring out that "competitive spirit" and in turn make the racing at least slightly better. Race distance would likely be relatively short, such as under 50 laps, and tracks would include both real world and fantasy locations.
As for the cars, Group C or the next closest thing such as a prototype for example, will suffice. Base models will likely be permitted, but only with a number that is available out of a list of numbers. I am undecided on Chromeline cars and honestly as I type this can't remember if there is such a car that fits the performance of a Group C machine. I would prefer that Group C cars take priority over anything else, but I would understand if someone does not have one and cannot get one due to, for example, being low on credits but has the next closest thing. Racers would not have to continue using one set car from event to event, but I'd prefer that they would make note of this. Provided that this series does get off the ground, I'll have a full eligible car list and number list. Finally, duplicate cars would be permitted but preferred to be kept to a minimum. After all the main sight I see for this potential series is to let it be as laid back, easy going and fun as possible.
So that's pretty much it. I may think of other things, in which case I'll cover that in a post. As I said, if anyone has anyone interest and/or questions and such, post it below. Good day, fellow GT6ers!
EDIT: Potential car list. I understand that not every car here is a Group C racer, but these may have nearly the same level of performance as a Group C car and if not, I'm willing to cut them from the list. Some of you most likely have a better understanding of these cars' performance than I do.
