LEGEND CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES 2011
The aim of this championship is to have clean and fun racing with GTP friends on a weekly basis. We will be racing the LEGEND cars on the LEGEND tracks over the next 6 weeks. We will compete for the ultimate win and to be crowned 'THE LEGEND' at the end of the championship. The series is open to all as long as you are a clean and fair racer and follow our rules, which can be found in this thread https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=111241
Racing will be over the next 6 weeks and will take place on Sundays 8pm GMT. The first race meeting will be on Sunday 12/06/11
THE RACE MEETING
There will not be a calender setting out the schedule for the next 6 weeks. Each meeting will be unique with it's own rules and criteria. Each race meeting's unique rules will be posted not later than the Tuesday prior to raceday. That will give enough time to practice and get your cars up to speed.
You will have show that you are the master of track and car under all conditions. Whether it's head to head racing, putting that perfect hotlap together or whatever (or to show all how crap you are at night racing
) The race organisers can throw anything at you so you will have to dig deep. The prize at the end ain't going to come easy

Track : same track (for now)
Laps : 3 laps per race (for now)

HOUSERULES
General housekeeping
1) Please inform me if you cannot participate. It saves everyone from waiting needlessly.
2) Chatroom: will open at 7.45pm. All racers HAVE to join the chatroom as invites for the race will be send from there. Try to be on time please!! There is not enough time to send individual invites once the lobby is open and ticking.
3) Results : every racer has to record his position and time for every race (write it down on a piece of paper). I will try to record it, but may have to ask you to verify your position and time before posting the results.
4) Disconnect : if anyone is disconnected within the 1st lap of a race, the race will be stopped and restarted.
5) Complaints : hopefully this will be a non-issue, but if you have please do not use this thread to publicly criticise your fellow racers. Send me or one of the race stewards a PM and we will deal with it.
6) Penalties : may vary from a loss of points, disqualification or in case of a real bad attitude, exclusion from the championship.
7) Practice : pre- event practices can be held by anyone at any time and posted in this thread 👍
8) Please add all the racers to your friends list. You may have to help sending invites when time runs out.
9) I am always open to ideas in how to improve this series. Please let me know at anytime if you have any suggestions. Critism is welcome as long as it is fair and positive 👍
10) As you can see we have 18 participants. In the event of a full house, one race lobby won't accomodate everyone. We will then split into 2 groups of equal numbers and run 2 races at the same time. So how does this work? At 7.45pm ALL racers join the chatroom which I will set up and send you an invite to join. We will then count the number of racers present . If, for example 14 racers pitch up, we will split into two groups of 7 racers each, a race lobby 1 and a race lobby 2. I will assign you to lobby. A second host will then open race lobby 2 and send individual invites to his 6 racers to join, and I will send individual invites to the remaining 6 racers to join race lobby 1 (using the example of 14 racers turning up). Obviously both races will follow the same rules and regulations for all 3 races. The second host will PM me the results of his races and then the final results will be posted.
11) Mic's : if you have one, by all means use it
Racing rules
1) Clean, fair racing and follow the ORL.
2) Drive respectfully, excercise caution and try as best as you can to avoid contact.
3) If you knock someone of course accidentally, be courteous by stopping or slowing down and allow that racer to regain his position.
3) Don not judge other racers as dirty who accidently hit you, cut a corner or go off track. Remember we all make mistakes.
4) Do not impose selfmade penalties in the heat of the moment, such as blocking or slowing down. That is counter productive to the whole spirit of this series and spoils close and fun racing.
5) Remember that the race is not won at the first corner!!
Happy racing! See you on the track dudes

ROUND 3
Sunday 03/07/11 @ 8pm GMT
Three head to head races this Sunday gentlemen. The first race is an all British classic, with a true legend, the Mini Cooper S. We will be racing Brands Hatch GP, not an official Legends track of the DLC, but a Legend track in itself. The first British Grand Prix was at Brands Hatch GP in 1964 so I reckon it qualifies as Legend circuit. Races 2 and 3 will be at Hockenheimring (1982), a circuit of SPEED.
As with the first 2 rounds, tuning is allowed, the races will be daytime, 5 laps each and all views allowed.

ROUND4
Sunday 17/07/11 @ 8pm GMT
C class special this Sunday folks. First race is the E-Type Jaguar Leightweight at Dijon ( keeping it European) and then my two favourite US classic cars: The Ford GT40 Mk.1 (at Monza) and the Shelby Daytona at Road America. Interestingly, the Road America circuit is the only modern day track that still has the original configuration from 1955. Many different racing series have had the occasion to race at Road America. The first was the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) on September 10, 1955, but they were hardly the last. Other notable series have included NASCAR in 1956 and 2010, CART from 1982 until 2007, ALMS from 2002 to the present, Grand-Am, USAC, CanAm, Trans-Am, IMSA, AMA, and the SCCA Runoffs since 2009. Road America also holds a variety of vintage racing events, including the Brian Redman International Challenge.
