Damn, it seems I'll not be able to do it this Saturday. Guests coming around 14-15 GMT. :(
 
So round 1 is tonight! Remember to have your cars painted in team colours and numbered correctly.

You may use either Soft and Hard tyres or Medium and Hard, Racing tyres.
You must run both compounds of your choice. Remember, you may not use
RS and RM tyres together.

Once I call Parc Ferme, no more set up changes are allowed until practice for Monza.

Trial Mountain will be a 20 lap race with a parade lap at 80mph. Driver will then return to their grid spots and I will type out the time that we will go! Qualifying will consist of 1 out lap, 2 hot laps and an in lap. I will call out each driver starting from the driver at the back.

In between races, I will add the required ballast for each car and then re-spec each car for Monza.

Monza will be a 14 lap race with the lead driver limited to 80mph with no overtaking. Driver will accelerate as the lead driver passes the pit lane entrance. The grid will be the reverse of the first race. If the race is wet, intermediate and wet tyres may be used. If the race dries then any combination of tyres may be used. The same thing applies for a dry to wet race.
 
Look guys, I'm currently retiring or putting my racing series on part time. I just suddenly lost my interest in racing games, so for now I'm putting GT5 Racing Leagues on a hold.
 
So the first night has finished and though we had fewer numbers than hoped for, both races were entertaining and challenging. I shall put my personal reports later tonight but here are the results, points and ballast going forward:

Oh knickers! I missed it! sorry,

Not many people were there but there was some great racing and at times, great displays of teamwork. Try and make the next one mate. It'll be worth your while.
 
So my report from each race:

Race 1, Trial Mountain:
Qualifying went well with 2nd being much higher up than I thought I would be. Knowing that Kev would have the pace on me on both tyre compounds so the best I could do would be to pressure Kev at the start and then help my team mate. This was made more important after a spin through the high speed section. With Kolin being rather fiesty during the opening stint I knew I had to hold him off and keep Cage in second. After the pitstops, Cage and myself almost had a massive accident as he rejoined the track from the pits. Now, we had to hunt down Franko after he jumped us through the stops. Pressing on, I caught Franko but I was pulling away faster than Cage could. I decided to slow down and slow Franko down enough to let Cage past him. This also caused him to pass me. We squabbled a little but ended up with taking the two lower steps of the podium. Nice result!

Race 2, Monza:
Monza was a really badly driven race from me. I broke too early causing an incident with Kevin. After that, I made another error, spinning out on the exit of the second chicane... Noticing the lack of tyre wear I pitted on the 5th lap The rest of the race was spent by myself until the last lap where I could make amends and pass him round the outside with my outside wheel only millimetres from the grass into the second chicane. I then spent the rest of lap hoping that the draft would not be enough for Kev to take the place back...

You say we were squabbling at Trial Mountain, but I thought we agreed beforehand that if the other was faster, we'd let them through. I mean, you saw me get out of your way so you could pass on more than 1 occasion.
 
Where is Rd 2 going to be held at? I would like to start practicing by Monday Night!

I meant right at the end when I slowed on the straight to give you the tow to get away from Franko. Then on the last corner we squabbled...

Oh, that cheeky moment? You just didn't want me to have that one, didn't you? :p
 
Right I have decided, after looking at the car lists and specs I returning to the original name of ISCC and all that. I feel that is the correct path to go down.

Next season will be closer to a Super Touring Car feel as I will be upping the power and cutting some cars out to form a seriously competitive series. Early ideas include the FTO STC, Impreza STC, Nissan TC and RX-7 TC...

Back to the present then...
 
I tried to do a Super Touring series and it fell apart with guys not committed. I did some specs with 6 or 7 cars and theyre damn close.
 
I have heard there is some confusion over the ballast amounts for next race.

The value added from Trial Mountain is now removed and replaced by the value added from the results of Monza, not the two values together...

I will add each car's weight tomorrow morning once I've slept
 
Joe, bi weekly with the WEC mate, same weekends as GT3
 
Heads up to everyone, rounds 3 and 4 are being held back to back to allow for those in the WEC and the GT300 Endurance to be moved to different weekends so those in both can make the time slots. I hope this isn't too much an issue for everyone:
Round 2: 4th May
Round 3: 18th May
Round 4: 25th May (this has changed!!!)

Race Briefing for tonight:

You may use either Soft and Hard tyres or Medium and Hard, Racing tyres.
You must run both compounds of your choice. Remember, you may not use
RS and RM tyres together.

Once I call Parc Ferme, no more set up changes are allowed until practice for Monza.

Nurburgring will be a 16 lap race with a parade lap at 80mph. Driver will then return to their grid spots and I will type out the time that we will go! Qualifying will consist of 1 out lap, 2 hot laps and an in lap. I will call out each driver starting from the driver at the back.

The Ballast added to each team from Monza is:
Caged Ducks Racing = +80kgs (Car weighs 1255KG)
Knukkle Down Racing = +60kgs (Car weighs 1270KG)
Aqua Racing = +40kgs (Car weighs 1140KG)
Reach Around Racing = 0kg (Car weighs 1080KG)

In between races, I will add the required ballast for each car and then re-spec each car for Madrid.

Madrid will be a 24 lap race with a pace lap with the lead driver limited to 80mph with no overtaking. Driver will accelerate as the lead driver passes the pit lane entrance. The grid will be the reverse of the first race. If the race is wet, intermediate and wet tyres may be used. If the race dries then any combination of tyres may be used. The same thing applies for a dry to wet race.

That's why Dan - you have points!

Joe/Seth = I hope you both can make the start tonight! If you can, run the RX-7 TC in white with the numbers 8 and 83?
