Welcome all to the launch of the Historic FIA GT '98 series here on the GTX Forum as well as GTPlanet.

This will be a very difficult, high power, high speed series with some of the greatest GT cars ever built. Expect a lot of skill necessary to handle these machines.

CARS (modifications in parenthesis)

GT1
1998 Nissan R390 GT1
* (+200kgs weight, Hard Compound Tires)
1997 (BMW) McLaren F1 GTR
* (Chassis Stiffening, Hard Compound Tires)
1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR LM
* (Chassis Stiffening, Hard Compound Tires)
1998 Panoz Esperante GTR-1
* (Chassis Stiffening, Soft Compound Tires)

GT2
2000 Dodge Viper GTS-R
* (+100kgs weight, Hard Compound Tires)
2001 Jaguar XJ220 LM Edition
* (Chassis Stiffening, Soft Compound Tires)
1999 Lister Storm V12
* (NA Tune Stage 3, Chassis Stiffening, Soft Compound Tires)

Note: At each round a 'Soft Compound' and 'Hard Compound' will be announced. Therefore the specific tire that each car will use will vary from round to round. You will likely need to have a set of each type of Race tire compound available to you.

Race 1: May 8 - May 21

RULES

Drivers and Teams
* Drivers may run both GT1 and GT2 classes if they wish.
* A driver must run the same car all season.
* There is no limit on how many times a car can be selected.
* Two-car teams are allowable, but they must drive the same car.
* One-car teams are considered privateers, yet must still use a team name.

Cars
* No parts may be added other then those specified
* ASM and TCS must be set to 0
* All other car settings are open to change
* Oil Changes and Chassis Refresh are available at any time
* Buying/Winning a second chassis mid-season is available at any time

Racing
* All races must be started from 6th on the starting grid.
* All drivers will be required to make a mandatory pit stop during the race at any time other then the end of the first lap or end of the last lap. Tire selection for each round will likely force a pit stop anyway.
* Due to the length of these races, having all four tires in the grass is allowable once. Anything more then that nullifies that race time.
* Any wall contact automatically nullifies that race time.
* Contact with other cars that is your fault nullifies that race time. Contact caused by the AI is excused.

Time Submission
* Times should be PMed to me and include:
- Car
- Team Name
- Total Time
- Each Individual Lap Time
- Any incidents worth mentioning
* Times will be due by 11:59pm on the final date listed on the schedule.
* No late submissions will be allowed.
* Discussion of individual lap times only is allowed in the race thread.

Championship
* The current FIA points system will be in use for driver's and team's championships:
- 1 : 10pts
- 2 : 8pts
- 3 : 6pts
- 4 : 5pts
- 5 : 4pts
- 6 : 3pts
- 7 : 2pts
- 8 : 1pt
* The fastest lap out of the event will earn 1pt.
* The team's championship will include all points gained by each driver.
* The team's championship will not include privateer teams. The privateer champion will merely be deduced from the driver's championship standings.

Duplicate thread at the GTX is HERE.
 
I'm deffinitely in. Not quite sure which car I'll be running though :boggled:. Anyways... I may also have to miss the first two rounds; school is getting busier not to mention racing, baseball, school football tryouts for '06-'07, golf and tennis. So my schedule just gets stuffed and still I want to participate in three series here at GTP :dunce:.

m.piedgros
 
im in please:tup:
 
I'm fairly certain of my choice of the Viper GTS-R in GT2. GT1 I'm up in the air on. I'm really debating the McLaren F1 GTR and Panoz Esperante GTR-1.

I've also slightly modified the schedule to put in some better tracks. Deep Forest has been replaced with Fuji 80s, and El Capitan replaced with Infineon.
 
but maybe you could add more cars :)

like

Toyota GT-ONE
Nissan R390GT1

👍
 
The R390 is already on the list.

The Toyota GT-One is too fast, it's the later GTP-spec car instead of the GT1.
 
ooh ok cool

then i want to take the Nissan if you like:)
 
I'm interested but what day would the deadlines be on and when do you plan to start this?
 
The schedule is listed.
 
I'm in!

Please put me down for one BMW McLaren F1 GTR. (Response: "Okay stupid. You told me to put you down.") :)
 
Wow am I blind! Sorry about that, I must have overlooked that. Anyway I THINK I am in with the Panoz (Ford engine, gotta support the home team:sly: ) and possibly the Jagaur but I am not sure. Looks like this could be alot of fun and I'm looking forward to it.
 
Thanks for all the sign-ups.

The first race will start this weekend, I'd like for people to start hammering down which cars they will be using as soon as possible, as well as any team partnerships being hammered out.
 
My choices are definate, the Panoz and the Jaguar, but with only me and The359 running the second class, is there a point? I say drop it... but thats just me.
