Great conclusion to Season 1 last night with the top 4 drivers separated by just 15 points going into the final race! Congratulations @DigitalRelay on being crowned Season 1 champ!! Good racing, everyone!

Season 2 Details will be posted here shortly in a separate post.
 
Season 2 details are here!! Please see below and ask away if you have any questions.

LZB European Gr.3 Championship

Basics

-8 teams comprising 2 drivers each.

-Individual Driver and Team Championships

-Will use Gr3 spec cars only.

-Allowed manufacturers: any European Car Manufacturer that has Gr3 race cars. No hybrids, prototypes or VGT cars allowed.

-10 race season - all in Europe.

-1 race per week. Race will be 30-35 minutes long preceded by a 15-minute qualifying session. US Memorial Day (May 30th) and Independence Day (July 4th) will be off days. Therefore, in total the season will run for 12 weeks.

-4x tire wear and 6x fuel consumption rate for all races.

-Pit stops for fuel and tires allowed. No limits on tire compounds.

Team and Car Selection

In the interest of keeping the teams as evenly matched as possible, the teams will be formed in the following manner:

-#8 driver in the standings from the previous season chooses their teammate first from the pool of drivers who finished from #9 - #16 in season 1. #7 in the standings chooses their team mate next and so on.

-The champion from the previous season and their teammate will choose their car first. The 2nd placed driver and their teammate will choose their car second and so on.

-Both teammates must use the exact same manufacturer/make of car.

-Only one team per manufacturer. So if Team 1 picks BMW, no other team can run a BMW.

-After weeks 3 and 6, there will be an allowable car reset where any of the bottom 3 teams in the standings can choose to change out their car for a different unchosen one from the eligible manufacturers. Both drivers in the team must agree to the change, and the team livery must remain the same even after the car is swapped (or at least as close as possible). If multiple teams want to make a change, priority will be in reverse standings order i.e. bottom team will have first priority.

Dates and Times

-Season 1 will conclude on Monday, April 18th.

-scuudz will contact each of the top 8 drivers to get their team mate selections in reverse order. The top 8 drivers can only pick a teammate who finished between 9th and 16th (inclusive) in season 1. The aim is to have all 8 teams set by the end of day April 20th.

-Following team setup, scuudz will contact each of the top 8 drivers in order to get their car and track selections. The aim is to have all car and track selections in place by the end of the day April 25th.

-Season 2 Raceday 1 will be on Monday, May 2nd at 2045 CDT.

-This way all teams will have a full week to practice with their respective cars, get liveries in place, determine tire/fuel strategies etc.

Other Information

-At least 2 of the 10 races will feature dynamic weather/rain. At least 1 will be a night race.

-No limit on tire compound selection.

-All penalties will be set to weak/ON.

-The chosen cars shall have:
a) pp limit of 780
b) no additional turbos or superchargers than what the cars are already equipped with when purchased at Brand Central.

-All cars must race with their corresponding race numbers in all races.

-All cars must race with race liveries (because I’m vain like that and love good race photos)

-BOP ON. Tuning Allowed.

-Grid Start.

-In the event that 1 or more drivers cannot make a certain race day, it will solely be the team’s responsibility to arrange for a reserve driver for that race. A list of the interested reserve drivers can be found in the reserve-drivers discord channel. Once an arrangement has been made, please advise scuudz as to who will be the replacement driver. Any points scored by the reserve driver will be added to the TEAM points total as usual, but will not count towards the replaced driver’s individual championship points tally.

Points System

Thanks, man! It was so fun. Awesome job running the league!!
 
Good Morning. I’d like to get in the action if possible. Long time Forza and Controller user but just got a PS5 along with TS300RS. I have never used the wheel. I’m installing my setup this evening. Hopefully that qualifies me as beginner! Thanks!

PS5 name is MARsSPEED1

Of course! I’ll get you all the details on PSN.
 
Season 2 Teams and Car Selections:
Digital-Nox (Ferrari)
scuudz-roach (Peugeot)
Agent - reaper (Aston Martin)
Reign-piler (Jaguar)
dowhat-killa (AMG)
Delta-Timmy (VW)
Crazy-Yen (BMW)
Tavox-Waxy (Porsche)

New Points System
Discussions have taken place on having a different points system for season 2. The goals for the new system are as follows:

  • Greater emphasis on the team aspect.
  • Make the point spread in the team championship a lot tighter.
  • Let all drivers in the league have a lot to race for all the way to the end of the season (no dead rubbers).

With that in mind, the new points system for season 2 is as per below:

- The league will be split into two groups - Group A (drivers who finished 1-8 in season 1) and Group B (drivers who finished 9-16 in season 1).

- Both groups will run the same race in the same lobby at the same time (all 16 of us will be on the track as usual).

- There will be separate Group A and Group B drivers championships, BUT still just one overall Team Championship.

- Group A and Group B points will be based on your position within your respective group. Points distribution will be:
1st - 10
2nd - 8
3rd - 6
4th - 5
5th - 4
6th - 3
7th - 2
8th - 1
So for example, Piler will be in Group B. If he finished 7th in the race but is ahead of all other Group B drivers, he will receive 10 points for the race. Using the same example, Reign is in Group A and if he finished 6th in the race, he'd get 3 points and their team total for the race would be 13 points.

The driver who finishes highest in qualifying within their group will get 1 bonus point in the driver and team table.

Group A - Digital, scuudz, agent, reign, dowhat, delta, crazy, tavox
Group B - waxy, yen, killa, piler, roach, reaper, timmy, nox
 
Sorry for the short notice but here are the one-off event details for tonight:

Reign will have the lobby up.
  • Sarthe
  • day/night cycle
  • random dynamic weather
  • ANY Gr3 car (not just European)
  • 800pp limit
  • BOP OFF TUNING ALLOWED.
  • 15 min qualy starting at 2045cdt.
  • 7 lap race.

FYI - this event has no bearing on the upcoming season. No points or prizes. Just a fun one-time race. You can use it to test your setup for the sarthe race in season 2 or just run a different car for fun.
