Hey All;

After mulling the idea over in my head over the past few weeks i think i've come up with a new championship that could be intriguing (damn my spelling) and something (slightly) new in the Online race series.

Its SORT OF like the Budget Tuning challange, expect that i give you a buget at the start of the season, and you can buy ANY car, make ANY mods to it you like. However, as you win races (or come in places in the top 10) then you win money, and this can be used to upgrade your car any time throughout the season.

I know this sounds like the Buget Tuning car challenge, apart from the fact that you can only use your prize money to modify your car. This should see cars getting faster and faster as the season progresses until we get into Budgets that allow you to buy the Class C cars.

However, once the season is over, i will be making up new REGULATIONS!! Basically i will be doing things such as limiting the HP of a car, the modifications you can do to a car (like no more that Level 2 NA tune ups, no racing chips etc etc) and perhaps the lowest ride height allowed (say, from 70 to 80). I know this would be extreamly hard to keep tabs on, but i expect you not to cheat so we can have the fairest racing possible.

I have not drawn a calaender up yet, simply because i do not know if anyone is interested yet. If you are, please PM me and i will add you to the list of racers interested. PM simply because i would like to keep this thread as uncluttered as possible. If i get, say, 10 racers interested, then i iwll start the season, probably late Januray to Early Feburary.

OLR rules will apply during this series;

Do not post any times at all, in order to keep suspense until the resaults are posted;
Do not touch the walls;
Don't wall ride, its just stupid
Don't take shortcuts
Don't grass or track cut
Don't use hybrids
Don't cheat
Please, save your replay, not that i expect you to cheat, but because throughout the season i will be doing "random" checks to make sure that you are posting the times you say you have. You can be checked any number of times throughout a season, you could finish in last place and i could check you, you do save replays.

Ok, lets hope that your all interested;

No offence, but I can't see this working fairly. I've taken it that the winning gets the most prize money? If so, then the fastest driver will then get more money to upgrade their car to be faster then everyone else. And so it will happen right through the championship, whoever wins the first race will go on to annihilate the rest of the competition.

I suppose you could run it the other way, with the slowest drivers getting upgrade money to get them up to speed. But then that's prone to sandbagging and you're rewarding players for being in lower positions.

If you have worked out all this and have away around it, could you please let us know? Seems like a pretty interesting championship if you can get it fair.

Well i had the idea of adding on ballest to the winning drivers (say the top 8 or so); the the idea is that if this DOES happen (which it will i know) then i may introduce regulations limiting BHP/Weight/Tuning Levels sometime in the season, halfway probably. And new regulations at the start of the season should keep things tight, if the BHP/Weight limitations mean your car cannot compete, then you will have to use savings to buy a new car, meaning that throughout the previous season you will not be able to go mental, because you do not know what next year will throw up.

I hope that clears things up, remember any queries post them there, this championship is still in the making!!

EDIT: And the prize money won't be much, something like this:

1st: 5,000
2nd: 4,500
3rd: 4,000
4th: 3,500
5th: 3,000
6th: 2,500
7th: 2,000
8th: 1,000
9th: 500
10th: 100
 
And yes, the championship name sucks. Bite me, i can't think of anything else....
