DISCLAIMER: This league is for racing enthusiasts and Caterham enthusiasts alike. It is a clean and fun league that follows the OLR rules.

The Monday Caterham Racing League
or MCRL for short​

picture.php


THE CAR: The Caterham 7 Fireblade is a British built kit car and is one of my favorite cars in Gran Turismo. Seriously hats off to the British for building such a fun car!!

Why should you join?

Well, if your like me you have been searching for a Caterham league for a long time and just haven't found one yet. I got tired of searching and waiting for the day someone would finally form a league for this spectacular car. So folks that day has come!! Like I said in the disclaimer at the top of the page in, red in case you didn't see it, This is a clean racing league and I try to follow the OLR rules. Also, after a successful first season the second season can only get better!

TIME AND DATE


Events will be held on Monday. The events will start at 5pm EST 2100 UTC

Qualifying

Qualifying will begin 10 minutes before the start of the first race for both tuned and stock races. If a driver is too late for qualifying they will start at the back. the second race of both tuned and stock races will be determined by the reverse grid of the previous race.

The qualifying procedure is drivers will get 10 minutes to qualify for the first race for both tuned and stock races and will be lined up in the second race for both tuned and stock based on the reverse grid of the race before. It is important to note that once the 15 minute countdown is started it can not be stopped.

RACE PROCEDURE

The race lobby will open about an hour before qualifying starts. There will be two races for both stock and tuned, same number of laps for both. The first race will be stock and we will qualify for 10min. The second race will also be stock, but will be reverse grid of the first race. Then the process will be repeated for the tuned races.

If a driver is too late getting into a room and the race has already started the race can not be stopped. Each and every driver is held accountable to making it on time.

Lapped cars are to let lapping cars pass cleanly. If two cars are battling for position and a lapping car comes up behind them then the two must allow for the lapping car to pass even if that means one driver has to give up position.

The MCRL adheres to the same rules outlined in the GTPlanet OLR. Drivers competing in any MCRL event must adhere to those rules and all other rules previously stated.

Drivers are to drive with respect and avoid making contact with other cars. If a car is pushed off track or spun out by another car then the driver of the car afflicting the collisions must stop and wait for the car that was spun or shoved off track to get going again. failure to do so will result in point penalties


Points system

1 : 25 Points
2 : 18 Points
3 : 15 Points
4 : 12 Points
5 : 10Points
6 : 8 Points
7 : 6 Points
8 : 4 Points
9 : 2 Points
10 : 1 Point
11+: 0 points​

it will be one series with and an all around championship and an individual championship for each type of race (non-tuning and tuning). A driver can race one or the other or both if a driver runs just one then then he/she has a chance of winning the championship in the selected series but if a driver runs both series he/she has a chance at winning the overall championship. The same goes for team championships.

If more than two drivers in a team race on any given race night, only the top two finishers in that team will count towards the team points. Meaning, for example if one driver in a team finishes 2nd, the next driver in that team finishes 5th and another driver in that team finishes 6th only the the drivers that finished 2nd and 5th will add their points towards the team championship. The 6th place driver would not add points to the team points championship.

DRIVERS

Stock:


Tuned:



TEAMS



Please note that a driver must have his/her car painted the same color as the team that they are on for any of the driver's points to be counted towards that team.

If you would like to be a steward I'd greatly appreciate it I need at least 4 people to help me out with race review, disputable debates, and in cases where I can not make it to a Wednesday's races

What do you think about a higher tyre wear? Then the fun would be back again,and a good setup would pay off ....

I worry about cape ring because the huge banked turn don't know how the car will do on it. Looks good though, will test today.
 
Hey,
I really enjoyed racing with you guys before, so was wondering if I could join in for season 2?
Thanks 👍

No bull I been away for some time now. Working a lot, but I will be back as soon as possible. Keep me signed up please, same team if possible.

Like the new tire wear rule.
 
Tire ware fast aye gonna have to try that before i have any thing to say on it.

I'll be running team Ares again currently looking for a team mate yet its been hard to get a hold of skva .


EDIT

Did abit of practice and the tire ware feels fine although the car feels kinda odd on Race rubber.
I dont really care for the Medium tire rule as it was and average of 1 second slower than the Soft but thats just my gripe.

I lost @ 1 sec. per lap on medium as well.
 
Can I join?

anyone can join mate. all I need is:

PSN name
GTP name
team

if you want to create a new team I will need to know what color your teams cars will be.

here is the list of team from last season

Holy MaCRL
Nunalvares
Ares
B&G Racing
Alt+F4
 
Some of those Teams could use an overhaul :lol:

Also new Ares color is Reflex Blue and there's room for a new driver :)

I also thought after some testing that we could do SSR5 instead of CSR5 since the lap time at SSR5 was only around a 1:22 average.

Well my setup isn't the best, but I managed a 1:35.6 after a few laps. 👍
 
Damn I just saw the tire restrictions. I thought you were running sports last season so I assumed. I'm out, sorry
 
No_Bull thought Race softs would bring more people to the league.

You should'nt let that stop you though there's still alot of great close wheel to wheel action to be had.

I really don't like using racing soft, it makes GT5 feel like an arcade game

maybe but it would be less laps than CSR5

In some cases yeah but i definitely agree with the Caterham it feels kinda funky.

I don't like using RS tyres myself but some of the people who suggested it may not be coming back so maybe I will go back to SS tyres
 
Back
