Sports Car Racing Series (SCRS)​

Welcome to the 1st Sports Car Racing Series. This racing series is designed to test the abilities to tune and race street legal sports cars against the clock within certain limitations. The SCRS will consist of 4 races at different tracks located all over the world that will require specific racers to tune their cars for each track. If this season goes well then I will extend the next season to 8 races and that will be on GT5! Each driver will purchase a car in simulation mode and tune it to meet the vehicle specifications. Once they have done that they will go to the track and race against the clock to get the fastest time they can get and send it to me in a private message. The first time you send me is the only time I will take. You will not be able to change it of you run a faster time later on. Remember that you must choose a sports car. The overall winner will be determined by a points system. There isn’t any true definition of a sports car but you should get what I mean by a sports car. Some examples of sports cars are Miata, Mustang, 240SX, RX-7, Lancer, Corvette, Civic, 350Z. Use your best judgment when choosing a car and if it’s not a sports car I will let you know you need to change it before the season starts. I would like to get at least 8 racers for this season including me.

would the Spyker be considered a sports car?

oh, and technically, the Corvette, (at least the C6) is considered a supercar 'cause it can reach 200mph. Same with the Viper.

The spyker is a sports car but I'm not sure if it has less than 375HP to start with. If it does you may use it.

I know the Corvette is a "supercar" but in my opinion there is no such thing as a "supercar." A "supercar" is just a over priced sports car because it goes a little bit faster and it was hand built.

You may use whatever "supercar" you like in this competition because in the end they will all be about equal.

I could take a civic and make it faster than a Corvette with a 375HP limit.
 
Will have to pass. RL is too hectic now. Maybe in the future. GL though.

I'm thinking about a Camaro, Mustang, GTO, or Lancer.

I was testing the Neon SRT-4 but it has way too much wheel spin off the turns.
 
I'm interes about this series. Thought a power to weight limitation would help alot.

375 BHP - max 400 BHP (out of top 5 rule)

Any 700-800 Kg car would destroy this competition by far , from my experience.
Now searching for a sports car with short gears :sly:

I thought about doing power/weight ratio but I really don't know much about the average ratio of sports cars. If you would like to give me a suggestion I would definately take a look at it.

I counted 92 sports cars tuned minimum weights together and the divided by 92 getting average weight of about 1175 Kg
All cars had stock 375 or less hp , tuned atleast 400 hp.

1175 Kg / 375 hp -> p2w ratio of 3.133

almost half of the cars had weight of 1250 Kg+

1250 Kg / 375 -> p2w ratio of 3.333

so between 3.333 and 3.133 would be 3.233 p2w ratio for average average sports car.

= 375 hp * 3.233 = 1212 Kg

I recommend the minimum weight to be 1212 Kg , anything lighter than that would follow the maximum power to weight ratio of 3.233 Kg/HP

For example:

1100 Kg car can have maximum HP of 340
1000 Kg car can have maximum HP of 309
900 Kg car can have maximum HP of 278

This leans forward to have heavyer , more powerful car than a light weight.

Sutch a car as R390 GT1 Road Car or alike aren't allowed to compete ofcourse.

Another thing , correct me if I'm wrong here:
-Minimum ride height of 85mm
-Max horsepower of 375 = MAX
-Semi-Racing Suspension = Must
-Sports tires only = S1 , S2 , S3 . Most likely S3
-No brake controller = stock brakes
-No nitrous oxide
-No wing allowed
-No weight restrictions This propably gets changed to the p2w ratio.

Everything else of the car is to be left stock
Parts like transmission , clutch , flywheel , body ridigity refresh&roll cage , racing brakes are not allowed to buy.

:cheers:

But, then I'd have to re-buy the Crossfire. 'cause you can't add weight once you remove it. But that's fine. I can do that.

Thanks!

So you're saying to set the minimum weight to 1212kg, but if you have a car that weighs less then it has to be at a power weight ratio of 3.223.

I wasn't sure about exactly what parts I was going to allow but I'm going to make these changes.

Parts Required to Use
Stock Brakes
Stock Transmission
Stock Flywheel
Stock Clutch
Sports Tires (S1, S2, or S3)
Semi-Racing Suspension (Minimum Ride Height 85mm)

Parts Not Allowed to Use
Nitrous Oxide
Wing
Roll Cage
Rigidity Refresher
 
-MOPAR- , looks good 👍

I'm glad you found my research data usefull :D

I have currently two very different cars in mind for entry.

EDIT: I forgot to write about this:
1212 Kg with 400 HP (when a car has finifhed out of top 5) -> p2w ratio of 3.03

In this situation
1100 Kg car can have maximum HP of 363
1000 Kg car can have maximum HP of 330
900 Kg car can have maximum HP of 297

Ballast would be the most effective way to add those few required extra kilos.
Ballast can change the drivability/handling of a car greatly too :D

My stats are updated. I did have to start over 'cause I had put the rollcage in the first one. But, with the new one, all I had to do was add 60kg of ballast to get it to the correct p/w ratio
 
I would like to express interest in this series. The limitations set can make for diverse setups. Also, could the Mazdaspeed6 be included although it's weight and hp can only be found in the garage?
