Ballast weight does not accumulate and will be removed if a driver finishes outside the top 3.

CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES
The following titles will be awarded at the end of the season:

• Twin Drivers Cup
• Pole Position Award

Overall Trofeo - Open to all drivers, overall championship winner.

Single Driver Cup - Only for full time drivers that participate in every event.

Twin Drivers Cup - Only for teams with more than one driver. This should be used for drivers who cannot participate in every event, and will use a backup driver in their place for those missed events. The combined results from both part-time drivers gives them a chance to win a championship while being unable to attend every event.

Pole Position Award - issued to the single driver with the most pole positions. (excluding reverse grid)

Open for business.

Are the wheels required to be black/grey? The livery I use has colored wheels.

I may allow it as long as it's not over the top, although the real series uses mostly black. (I have seen a gunmetal here or there) I assume they are supplied by Maserati in a single color.

Well real series also allow you to actually put a livery on your car. Mandating stuff like black/grey wheels may turn off interest, some people don't like pointless restrictions as such. I'll see if I can join this, but my schedule will be awfully turbulent in the coming months.

Again, I may allow it as long as the colors are not super crazy.

If you can't run full time, find someone to team up with you that can run the races that you miss, then enter the Twin Drivers Cup. I put a small twist on what the real series actually runs, hoping it would draw in interest for people that can't attend every event.

Must I find a teammate or will it be okay to just inform you when I'll have to miss some rounds? My livery is metallic beige with orange wheels.

@trobes29 @BRRT_Angel does this look interesting at all? I think it has potential.

Definitely let me know when you are going to miss a race, but you can find someone to take your place during that missed weekend. If it happens more than once, it will have to be the same driver every time though.

Yea sure, I'd be interested. I love this car, especially at these specs.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'll correct the specs sheet tonight to reflect the open wheel color.

 

[Thomas__633]

can someone work out what time that this is in +9.30?

Not interested. Don't like the Maserati. Series is organized pretty well so props for that.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You can convert here.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I added a wheel color option to the registration sheet. Will fix the specs graphic when I get home tonight.

 

[Thomas__633]

its one am for me so I can't compete.

adelaide timezone (+9.30, makes everything harder +9.30 does)

 

[Andil]

Just submitted my entry 👍

Ah yeah, sorry. It's hard to make race times start where everyone around the world can participate. Unfortunately that usually means Australia gets left out since Europe has greater participation numbers.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Specs graphic updated to reflect the open color choice for wheels.

Just one registered so far, if you know anyone that would be interested send them our way. 👍

 

[Ramalhinho91]

What sort of tyres we'll be using? RH?

Edit: Checked at FAQ

[Peelster1]

@Whitetail I might be able to sub for you if you can't make a round, providing that you give me some advanced notice so that I can get some practice in. Overall, though I'm not too interested. The series looks good, but I'm avoiding racing in more than one series right now.

 

[Clayton Hardy]

@Clayton Hardy @Peelster1

I might be interested.

 

[CodeRedR51]

For anyone that is unsure, next weekend we'll have an official open practice room with maybe some short 5 lap races so everyone can get a good feel for what to expect.

 

[Clayton Hardy]

I'll be watching the Indy 500.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I suspect a few others will do that same. Attendance isn't required, as long as everyone knows the race start procedure.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm going to make a couple changes to the schedule tonight when I get home, here are the highlights:

• The introduction day/practice at Monza will not happen due to the Indy 500. The pre-season race at Nurb GP/F is still on. I will make 1 bonus point available to all drivers that participate that day.
• The Red Bull Ring race and all races after will be shifted back one week due to the Le Mans 24hr.

I will also be arranging a prize pack available to all of the championship winners, although they will only be made available if we maintain a minimum number of participants through the season.
