TEAM RACING
Looking for something different in a racing league? Want to race with drivers that can go 3 wide in a corner and come out of it clean? Are you a 'precision' driver but get frustrated from other drivers that doesn't share these traits?
Our league is tailored to close, competitive, variety based racing! Other threads and leagues have many regulations to accommodate corrections to non precision racing. This can be overwhelming for anyone. Our members go through a screening process to ensure your capable of the right skills.
TEAM BASE RACING
Team base racing breaks down like this. It's not just about beating everyone on the track, we wanted to add something more to keep things interesting. A race will consist of 12 drivers with 4 teams. That's going to be 3 drivers per team. Not only is there your typical point system, bonus points are rewarded to your team. The better your team does, the more bonus points your whole team gets! There's many different techniques a team can utilize to try and finish on top. From on track racing, car selection, and qualifying what will be best for your team?
THE CARS/THE SETUP
Our team of GT5 junkies spent several hours of testing. This was to guarantee the best solution for bumper to bumper adrenaline action between great drivers and team relations. For each race there is a pack of 3 different cars that are selected to run in the race. Each team will be running the 3 cars that have been selected. It's up to the drivers on the team to pick which car they will run (see below for an example). As of now, Premium cars are being used since everyone have access to them at any time. Standard cars may be integrated in the future.
For this race the car pack is: Nissan Silivia, Acura NSX, 91' Mazda RX-7.
Team A: Driver 1 (NSX), Driver 2 (Silivia), Driver 3 (RX-7)
Team B: Driver 1 (RX-7), Driver 2 (NSX), Driver 3 (Silivia)
Team C: Driver 1 (Silivia), Driver 2 (RX-7), Driver 3 (NSX)
Team D: Driver 1 (RX-7), Driver 2 (Silivia), Driver 3 (NSX)
Regardless of the car you pick, there will be 3 other drivers racing the same car as you(4 total). Once again, we've tested and approved each car pack that has been selected. With this said, to keep competitive racing, tuning will be prohibited and racing will rely on your precision racing skills. Paint and custom wheels is your option. We recommend that you do an oil change to new cars. engine/body overhauls are allowed. Tires will be restricted (but not limited) to sports: soft. Since this type of racing isn't recommended for beginners, Drivings aids are off with the exception of ABS.

QUALIFYING/RACE
Qualifying is set up to be sweet and fast. Prior to the race we will host the qualifying event. One team on the track at once. A 1 lap race will be started so at the end of the race, the times will be recorded. Then the second team will go, 3rd team, and then 4th. Remember this is team racing and qualifying with your team can be beneficial. Once all times are in, track positions will be set up.
There will be no standing start. All races will start with a one lap parade lineup. No passing in parade lap, your allowed to warm tires up by scrubbing, side swapping another car is prohibited. A speed limit will be enforced. Pole leader controls acceleration point for the start of the race between the last turn and the start/finish line (an added perk for having the pole).
Race tracks will vary week to week as well as the laps. Races will typically last 30-45min and will require a minimum one pit stop per race. Races will be held on a weekend night. Specific days will be confirmed soon!
Points will be as follow:
1st-12
2nd-10
3rd-9
4th-8
5th-7
6th-6
7th-5
8th-4
9th-3
10th-2
11th-1
12-0
Bonus Points!
2 points for qualifying on the pole
1 point for most laps
podium finishes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will earn bonus points that everyone on your team will get.
1st- 3 points
2nd- 2 points
3rd- 1 point
example: team A finishes in 1st, 4th, and 7th.
1st place 12p + 3p = 15 total points
4th place 8p + 3p = 11 total points
7th place 5p + 3p = 8 total points
If more then one team members has a podium finish, bonus points are combined.
TEAM CAPTAINS
Each team will have an appointed captain. The captain on each team will save the current race replay. If there is any issue on track, the team member reports to the captain within 4 days after race (replays can be deleted after 4 days). Then all the captains will discuss situation at hand and come to a resolution. If you can't make a race, we give everyone 2 bye weeks which allows you to gain 3 points plus any points accumulated from your team.
