GTPlanet Rally Cross Championship
This is the thread for the GTPRCC which is a rally championship for tuned road cars that will be held over 8 races.

The Classes
There will be 2 classes for cars that Are either 2WD or 4WD in which there will be a winner for each class and an overall championship winner. The limit in PP is 500 so you can tune your cars how you wish under those regulations. No race cars or RM cars are allowed under any circumstances though and no more than 2 of the same car are allowed to be used.

The Races
There will be 2 races at each weekend approximately lasting 20 minutes each with the second race being in reverse grid order. Days and times are yet to be confirmed as of now.
Round 1: Chamonix (change weather)
Round 2: Toscana Tarmac (randomly generated)
Round 3: Liege (randomly generated)
Round 4: Eiger Nordwand K trail (the big one)
Round 5: Eiger Nordwand (change weather)
Round 6: Toscana (change time)

We are racing at Suzuka because rally cross covers all terrain.
Points will be awarded to the top 6 drivers in each race overall:
10,6,4,3,2,1

Points will be awarded per class aswell.

Are we talking about standard rally or rallycross?

Races with rally cars, which I think is rallycross if i'm not mistaken.

Vatrox · May 21, 2011

I have always considered rallycross as racing on small, closed dirt-asphalt tracks using semi-rally tuned street cars myself, but I guess you are right

I was just thinking that you might've wanted to create own tracks for the sole purpose in mind, and let us use tuned cars with, say, dirt tyres instead of WRC machines.
Actually I don't even know if it's possible to create such a mixed circuit in GT5, I have never tried the track creator.

Tuned cars would be good with two categories, 2WD and 4WD. No race cars, only tuned road cars. What PP limit do you think there should be?

Jacob · May 21, 2011

I'd say a 550 PP limit. And this sounds interesting.

VRracingfan · May 21, 2011

550 sounds good. 6 races? 3 GT rally tracks, 3 randomly generated ones?

galahad · May 21, 2011

I was thinking some similar with 2 categories: 1- WRC (1998-2008) tuned (for example i have a citroen c4 wrc tuned with 450 hp). 2- tuned cars (impreza, lancer, tts, 370z ...) with 320 hp and 1250 kg. It´s Ok, no? the circuits: short circuits, like suzuka east, cape ring inside, monaco, eiger norwand short track, tsukuba, chamonix mini, chamonix west, eiger w trail, toscana...

550pp is too much imho, 500 would be better. And the second group suggested by halahad sounds good to me.

Is it possible to create a track that consists of both asphalt and dirt sectors using the creator?

VRracingfan · May 21, 2011

Those are good ideas. So tuned road cars or wrc cars then?

Don't think so.

Vatrox · May 21, 2011

Definitely tuned, WRC is just too easy and obvious

VRracingfan · May 21, 2011

I've updated the calendar although changes may be made.

Think that's something you should have thought of before you created this thread? Also, how many "gauging interest" threads do you have up currently? I always see you making new ones and nothing ever sticks around...

Well i'm sorry, besides i've got one other gauging interest thread up and running right now and that's for a championship in september so it wasn't going to stay up here for ages was it? Just because your series are popular doesn't mean that you have to have a go at other people whose ideas aren't quite as successful do you?

CodeRedR51 · May 21, 2011

I'm just saying you start a lot of threads is all.

So do you, so do a lot of people. Why do you need to point it out?

CodeRedR51 · May 22, 2011

I have two active threads in the online racing section posted over a period of several months. You have six threads posted in the last month, five of which are ideas for racing series that aren't well thought out and have hardly any replies.

If you really want to start a racing series, plan it out a bit better and post a nice big thread. You'll get more attention that way and you can stick with it.

Okay okay, thanks for the help then I guess.
