Poster Corvette C3 N300.jpg

Weight - N300 (NB the game will set your weight to the correct level if you enter @100%)
Tyres - Sports Hard

Tracks

2. Alsace Village
3. Laguna Seca
4. Autodromo Lago Maggiore - Centre
5. Brands Hatch GP

6. St Croix B
7. Alsace Village II
8. To be announced


Please post in the thread any tracks you would like to be considered for week 8 - any not chosen will be borne in mind for future series.

Please also post your main colour and race number - to aid your fellow racers achieve a good variety.


NB - If anyone new wants to join this series - you will be welcome - just leave your name in the thread!
Fast or slow, novice or pro, young or old welcome - just try your best to avoid contact and give back a place if you gained it through contact.


PS - We will be using a new scoring system - 1 point for last place. 1 additional point for each additional place. Both races are scored. 1 additional point for driver with fastest lap in both races. 1 additional point for both drivers if different drivers score fastest lap in each of the two races.

e.g. 1st place in both races could score as many as 33 points if there was a full room of 16 racers for both races and the winner also obtained fastest lap.

1 additional point for the Series for the racer with the best livery (in the sole opinion of Host Sick Cylinder, NB Sick not eligible for this point).

These are the 25 fastest races you can earn about one million cr. in about half an hour. (OK, some need cars that costs 20 mil) but here there are so nobody has to stick with Blue Moon Bay too long. I recommend the first one because once you tamed the car it is the easiest to gain the clean race bonus
If there are any questions feel free to ask
I have every race made except the endurance races but what cr. concerns they are def not the fastest
 
2 questions:
What clean rce bonus do?
Can I do any race of you mentioned, or I need unlock them step b step as it was in previous GT games?

The clean race bonus gives you 50% increase on Cr. and XP Points - so - in first race the normal 1st price is 230000 Cr, and with clean race it is 345000 Cr.
To race clean you must not have accident with other cars (touching sideways is mostly OK) and do not go off track
Yes you have to unlock them but I don´t remember very well how - its too long ago

I´ll list the fastest races for beginner and amateur races as well

From the manual:
Select "Campaign" -> "GT League" from the Top Screen to display the GT League Top Screen. There are four different leagues available, each with a different difficulty level. You must meet the conditions listed below in order to take part in each league:

 ・Beginner League: Driver Level must be 5 or higher.
 ・Amateur League: Driver Level must be 10 or higher.
 ・Professional League: Driver Level must be 20 or higher.
 ・Endurance League: Driver Level must be 30 or higher.

Thanks for the fanfare richroo!

We are starting small (literally) with the Mini Cooper S 1965. If we race with those cars for a few weeks it will give new players a chance to earn some credits and buy some more cars.

These are the cars which I recommend that people buy first:


Shelby GT350 (Mustang)
Shelby Cobra 427
Chevrolet Corvette C2 1963
Jaguar E Type 19661
Porsche 356 - 1.2m credits
Ford GT40 MK1 road car 2.8 m credits

After those I would purchase:
Chevrolet Corvette C3
De Tomaso Pantera
Ferrari 365 GTB4 Daytona - 1m credits

I recommend getting all the above cars first before saving for one or more of the Unicorn cars. Series currently being developed / planned include:

1960's GT's
1970's GT's
1954 Le Mans Series - Aston DB3S v Jaguar D Type with Porsche 356 as an alternative car
1967 Le Mans Series - Ford v Ferrari v Jaguar with Ford GT40 MK1 as an alternative car (Possible GT class Shelby GT350 & Corvette C2)
1964 Le Mans Series - Shelby Daytona Coupe, Alfa Romeo TZ2 - alternative cars currently being tested.
