International Street Car Challenge
Created in cooperation by Azuremen and TankSpanker
Week 2: Fruit Pile
Well be running all 3 classes around Apricot Hill this week, as well as the new challenge class. It will be conducted in typical hot lap fashion fastest lap wins, 2 tires must remain on tarmac or curb at all times.
Class definitions will remain the same as last week, were still hoping more competitiveness will emerge naturally as more car/tuning combinations are (hopefully) discovered. If it does not after this week steps such as offering larger/smaller budgets for particular cars, or limiting the PWR of certain cars may become necessary. Were relying on some data collection from the new challenge class to aid in our decision.
The existence of the STS class is also in question. It seemed under utilized last week, and if interest in it is not expressed (by completing the poll at the top of this post), we will cut it from the running order to reduce the amount of concurrent stuff that is taking place. It is by far the most difficult class for us to balance since the range of performance at that level is so varied and the expense to achieve that level is just as varied. We also find that it doesnt necessarily fit the description of this Street Car Challenge, emphasis on the word street.
Enough on that,
The Classes:
You may run in any one, two, three, or all four of the following classes.
(Reminder, PWR means power to weight ratio, determined by weight/horsepower)
Street Touring B (STB)
Street Touring A (STA)
Street Touring Special (STS)
Street Touring Challenge (STC) *NEW*
This class was devised midway through last weeks running as a means of both offering a slightly more confined setting for competition, as well as a method of comparing driving and tuning abilities on a common platform. We hope if becomes popular. Its budget restrictions will generally be a bit tighter than the classes mentioned above, such that it will place further emphasis on the part selection process.
This weeks challenge will put you in a roadster a Miata to be exact. You have your choice of any of the four Miatas sold at the dealer screen. The catch is that you are only being allotted $50000 to fund your car and its modifications. No PWR restriction is being imposed. However, the regular restriction of sports tires still applies, and they are still provided free (think of it as having a gratuitous tire sponsor). Make the car as fast as you possibly can, quickest hot lap is the goal (no specific cut-off time for this week).
The skinny:
Individual Challenges:
This was brought up near the end of the week one thread. I have no problems with entrants issuing individual challenges within this thread for the other entrants to try and accomplish. Afterall, the name is International Street Car Challenge. All that I ask, is that before a challenge is posted, that it be cleared by either myself or Azuremen via pm or on AIM/MSN. This is simply as a precaution so that there doesnt become too much going on at one single time in this thread. I would also ask that challenges not be made with the top running cars within each class. The results for the individual challenges will not be tabulated on the leaderboard, but if there are enough entrants in any particular one, mention may be made to it in the results post. Once an individual challenge has been approved you may post it below, and I will add it to this post as well.
Rules:
Please remember to view and/or review all the rules in the Official GT3 ISCC Rules Thread .
We encourage T-time discussion, and discussion regarding car choices and tuning options will also be permitted. Full laptimes are not to be posted for the STC, STB, STA or STS. Laptime posting for individual challenges (should any be issued) is permitted.
Time Submission:
Time will be due at midnight Pacific Time, Friday, February 18th. This equates to 8:00am GMT, Saturday February 19th. Required will be your class(es) entered, vehicle, its PWR, and your T-times and laptime. You may pm these to either myself or Azuremen
As ever, we will be using Luxy's Leaderboard to track split times.
New Calculator:
Yes, I modified the calculator somewhat, to account for the addition of the STC. Also included is a laptime recorder its not particularly useful, but took all of 5 seconds to add, so I figured why not. It can be found attached at the end of this post.
There, I hope I havent left anything out. Start turning those times.
