This is a multiclass endurance sports car series inspired by the likes of the Tudor United SportsCar Championship and the World Endurance Championship.
The races will be run remotely by me. This means you don't need the game to participate! Simply sign up and create a paint scheme - or ask someone to make one for you. Role playing is optional.
Disclaimer
This is my first attempt at running a series such as this. There will likely be bumps in the road, so I ask for your understanding and patience in advance. Thanks!Cars
There are 2 classes of cars, which will run simultaneously:Prototype (P) - This is the top class. Normally, these cars are purpose-built race cars engineered to go for the overall win. Maserati and Saleen have generously offered 2 of their famous models, the MC12 and S7-R respectively, for conversion to prototype specifications in this series. The cars will be specially prepared as the "MC12-LMP" and "S7-LMP".

Saleen S7-LMP

Grand Touring (GT) - This is the second class, and is slightly slower than prototype. These cars are based on production models, which are then modified for added safety and balanced performance.

Schedule
There will be 6 rounds. See below for the full schedule and point standings.Points System
Both classes will use the same point system:1: 10
2: 7
3: 5
4: 3
5: 2
6 and below: 1
Bonus points (3, 2, 1) will be awarded to the top 3 positions of each class currently running at the halfway point.
Field Size
Field size will be rather limited due to system limitations: 6 prototypes and 8 grand tourers (subject to change). If there are enough entrants - a maximum of 10 prototypes and 12 grand tourers, qualifying will be run by class before the combined session to set the grid.Teams
Teams are allowed of up to 4 members, with a maximum of 2 per class. Teams may only run one model car per class.For example, "Team Italy" could have a maximum 2 Maserati drivers in P and 2 Ferrari drivers in GT. Cars may be painted in matching paint schemes if desired, but please use a distinguishing feature such as different accent colors or reversed colors.
You are not required to join/create a team, but "independent" drivers will be given a simple team name based on their username.
Drivers
Real world endurance racing typically allows a team of multiple drivers to share responsibilities for each car. For this series, you may have up to 3 "drivers" for your car. This is completely optional, and only for RP/commentating purposes. If no driver names are given, I'll simply use your username for all references.Paint Schemes
Feel free to be creative! As to be expected, vulgar/obscene images are not allowed. Please zip your paint scheme (to avoid the forum's image reduction), and send it to me in a private message titled for this series. See below for templates.For your car number, please use a simple non-italicized font, such as Arial Bold, in the color black. There is no font size requirement because the size of the number sign varies depending on the template - it should be simple and visible. Please also put your number somewhere on the hood to help with identification during the race. It can be stylized, for example:
Coverage
It has not yet been determined if coverage will be in the form of videos, written articles with screenshots, or a combination thereof. Details will be announced as the season nears.
