Welcome to the Super GT Oval Series!

An 8 race series consisting of 4 different tracks, the Super GT Oval Series combines elements from Japanese and European Grand Touring racing with American stock car racing.

RULES AND REGULATIONS - GENERAL INFO

*IMPORTANT* - Rules and regulations may change with or without notice. Stay up to date with the series for rule changes.

- All penalties will be managed by race control (me).

- Complaints will be taken into account and will be reviewed thoroughly.

RULES AND REGULATIONS - TUNING/ASSIST RULES

- No assists except for ABS are allowed.

- Cars cannot be tuned beyond 502 HP.

- Cars may not weight less than 1200 kg.

RULES AND REGULATIONS - RACE ETIQUETTE AND PROCEDURE

- Races will begin on time with no exceptions or restarts. If a driver fails to start a race, they will be given 0 points for the event.

- All races will begin with a pace lap. Drivers are required to remain in a single-file racing line until the first lap (lap 2) begins. Drivers who fail to start properly will be penalized with a lap down the pit lane on the first lap. Failure to follow the penalty will result in disqualification and no points will be rewarded, regardless of finishing position.

- Flags will be called out via text chat by race control.

*A green flag will be called on text chat with the word GREEN.
*A caution flag will be called out with the word CAUTION. Depending on the area where the accident is, the words 'frontstretch', 'backstretch', 'turn 1/2/3/4' will be called to warn drivers of danger. At this time, drivers must slow down to 80 mph and stay single-file until the green flag is called out.
*A black flag will be called out with the word BLACK FLAG with the driver's name depending on who would be given the penalty. At this time, the penalized driver must come down pit road in the next 2 laps or be disqualified.
*The word DISQUALIFIED will appear if a driver is disqualified, with the driver's name following. Being disqualified results in no points being given for the event.

- Cautions will be called if there is a major accident on the race track. At this time, all drivers must slow down to 80 mph, remain single-file, and will not be permitted to overtake. Any drivers who overtake another driver while under caution must give their position back before the green flag comes back out. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.

- At no time should a driver be stopped on the race track. Any driver who remains stopped on the racing surface for any reason will be disqualified and be given no points for the event. Head to the pits and press START or suffer the consequences for interfering with the race.

RULES AND REGULATIONS - PENALTIES

*Penalties will be given at the discretion of race control.

- Breaking any rules under 'Racing Etiquette and Procedure' will result in being penalized with their respective penalties.

- Drivers who cause a crash will be given the black flag and must head down pit road within the next 2 laps.

- Intentionally wrecking a driver or spinning yourself out for any reason will result in immediate disqualification.

- Though not necessarily a penalty, a point will be taken away for every lap you are behind the leader (for example, 1 point will be taken away from your result if you are 1 lap down, 2 points if 2 laps down, etc.). This cannot result in negative points.

CAR SELECTION

- Only 1 of each car is permitted on the track at the same time.

- The cars available are;

1. EPSON NSX '08
2. ARTA NSX '06
3. RAYBRIG NSX '06
4. TAKATA DOME NSX '06
5. weider HSV-010 '11
6. BANDAI DIREZZA SC430 '06
7. ENEOS SC430 '08
8. DENSO DUNLOP SARD SC430 '08
9. PETRONAS TOM'S SC430 '08
10. MOTUL AUTECH GT-R '08
11. WOODONE ADVAN Clarion GT-R '08
12. Calsonic IMPUL GT-R '08
13. XANAVI NISMO GT-R '08
14. YellowHat YMS TOMICA GT-R '08
15. YelllowHat YMS Supra '05
16. Castrol TOM'S SUPRA '97


TEAMS

- Teams may have up to 3 cars of the same manufacturer. By season's start, teams must have at least 1 car selected, a team name, and a team logo (optional but highly recommended) which is 360x220 pixels in size.

- Teams must always have a driver filling a seat. What's the point in having a 2 car team if only 1 of them is going to race?

SCHEDULE

- The lobby will open an hour before the green flag at 3:00 PM EST (8:00 PM/20:00 BST). This gives drivers who show up early some time to practice and to qualify.

- All races are on Saturdays, 4:00 PM EST (9:00 PM/21:00 BST)

1. Castrol Daytona 300 - 120 laps @ Superspeedway - Daytona (DATE: TBA)

2. Bridgestone High Speed Challenge - 12 laps @ Special Stage Route X (DATE: TBA)

Nice. :D

Do you have a team name and logo yet or are you still deciding?

So how does the team thing work? Are there separate teams for each car, GT-Rs, NSXs etc.?

I assume the -1 point for each lap behind the leader is designed to stop people bump-drafting to the finish then overtaking on the last lap.

Up to 3 cars of the same manufacturer, so you can have an NSX and the HSV-010 on the same team. Team points are gained the same way that driver points are gained.

Oh, and it's not losing points for spending time behind the leader, it's that you lose points for every time you are lapped (so if someone finishes an entire lap behind the leader they lose a point for every time they are lapped).
 
Sign me up in the Calsonic IMPUL GT-R '08 :) can't wait to race with you again Storm 👍

OK then, time to think up an imaginative team name 💡

Um... maybe... I'll resurrect my team from Global GT Season 1, Team #MaximumAttack :D Because I do this Tw@tter stuff yo.

I plan to be the virtual Hoonigan Racing Division... not doing well but doing it in style :sly:👍

Cheers for clearing this up 👍

Trust me to not read things clearly and blindly barge in like everyone's favourite beverage.

Unfortunately, you just got beat to that car by a good few minutes. :scared:

There's still plenty of other cars to choose from though, so you're still in luck. Glad to see you again. 👍
 
I always dreamed of doing this, its very tempting. I will sign up I suppose for the Castrol Tom's 97 Supra. I think there's another Supra too, but I'll use that one as I know for sure I have it. I dont have a team or anything, do I need that to race?

You need to have a team, but you can join another if you have a car from the same manufacturer (although you'd have to ask the team owner about joining). Team logos are optional but I recommend having one.
 
punishir250r Xanavi Nismo Gt-R '08. Im down for joining a team, but if I need to make a team I will.
 
Any idea when this event is taking place, or pratices or stuff? Thx

I'm waiting for us to get more people to join before I set any dates. If we get at least a few more people aboard then we will discuss when the season will start.
 
Ok np just checking, ill check on my end I have some good ppl that like to race clean, maybe they'll be down for it ill let u know.
 
awesome plan for the season,

Are you planning on doing races weekly once the season starts?

Whatever works out best for everyone. If the season were to start next weekend, I wouldn't be able to make the race afterwards due to me being on vacation.

It's better to have an off-weekend if twice as many people could attend the race the week afterwards.
 
I'd like to join this championship with the HONDA TAKATA DOME '06
 
What does everyone think about an October 19th start?
 
Well what sort of times are we looking at running the races? For all I now they'll be in the middle of the night my time :boggled:
 
the logo is the attachment. I wanted it to just show with out clicking the attachment. I also just switch my avatar to the logo.

I have a logo but it keeps saying error invalid file. Im trying to do it on my phone... :(

Not sure you can upload images from a phone (well I haven't tried at least).

You can edit your posts using the app (which I assume you're using) to avoid double-posting. Just hold down your post until the menu appears and choose "Edit". 👍
