Australia's biggest motorsports event is here and Ford (FPV) and Holden are ready to battle it our to see which make is best!!!

Hello everyone. Im Bee (Call me Lee if you wish ;)), assistant director, nitro_2005 is the creator and director of this championship. So first off, here are the two cars which you can choose from:​



​

FPV GT​



​


Holden Commodore SS​



Now here is the list of mods which you must do to either one of these cars:​


FPV GT

Racing Exhaust
Racing Brakes
Brake Controller
NA Stage Level 3
Port Polish
Engine Balancing
Racing Chip
Racing Transmission
Triple Clutch
Racing Flywheel
2-way LSD
Carbon Driveshaft
Racing Suspension
Racing Tyres (any kind)
Stage 1 Weight Reduction
Body Stiffening (roll-cage)
Oil Change

Holden Commodore SS

Racing Exhaust
Racing Brakes
Brake Controller

Carbon Driveshaft
Racing Suspension

* The reason why both cars need ballast is so that they both have the same Power-to-Weight Ratio. You MUST NOT alter the ballast at all after adding the required amount. Your car must stay at that weight for the whole season.

Race Week Format

For this championship, we use a whole week so you guys are not rushed and therefore, can perform at your highest!

Qualifying: monday to wednesday
Top 10 shootout: thursday to friday
Races: saturday and sunday
(The Top 10 shootout involves the 10 fastest drivers from the qualifying session)

*Note* We do take into consideration that some of you are not in the GMT time zone, if the reffers to you please contact either me or Nitro and we will give you the time for your area to get it in by.

EDIT: In between race weeks, you are allowed to test at any of the circuits on the calender to improve your driving technique or to find the right setup.

Points System

The points system is based on the real-life version in the V8 Supercars. If you don't know how it works, then here is the points scoring table:

1st: 64 pts
2nd: 62 pts
3rd: 60 pts
4th: 58 pts
5th: 56 pts
6th: 54 pts
7th: 52 pts
8th: 50 pts
9th: 48 pts
10th: 46 pts
...and so on. The points go down in twos, and go all the way down to 32nd, where you would score 2 points. for the Bathurst 1000, the points go like this:

1st: 192 pts
2nd: 186 pts
3rd: 180 pts
4th: 174 pts
5th: 168 pts
6th: 162 pts
7th: 156 pts
8th: 150 pts
9th: 144 pts
10th: 138 pts
...and so on. This time, the points go down in sixes, and again go all the way down to 32nd, where you would score 6 points.

EDIT: Just like in real-life, drivers must drop the points from their worst round up to and including Round 9 (Bathurst) after Round 9 has finished, so for example, if your worst finish was in Round 5, then the points you scored in that race will be dropped.

Rules

Here are the rules which you must follow when racing in the Practice Session, Top 10 Shootout or Race Days. They are the same as the WRS, but in case you don't know them, or have forgotten them, here they are:

No wall touching!
Two wheels on the track at all times!
(Rumble strips are considered part of the track)
No hybrids
No cheating of any kind
You may setup your car how you wish, but NO N.O.S (Nitrous Oxide) is allowed.

OK, I think that's it for now. Oh one more thing:

You can setup your own team. You may run by yourself or you can run a two-car team with somebody else. You must give yourself a number(s) and a teamname when you decide to enter.

EDIT: Please put the link to this thread into your sigs if you are competing. That way, we can get more people to join and the competition will be much better! DO IT NOW!!!

This is what I would like you to put into your sigs:

"The Australian V8 Supercar Series - Sign Up Now!!!" And then a link to this thread.

thanks!

EDIT: Nitro had to change some of the venues because in GT Mode, some tracks either have races which are too short or don't have a race at all!

EDIT 2: Nitro has just been having a little think and have decided that all you guys would need a way to relax after a long season, so at the end of the series, he decided to hold a drag event!!!

Also, please put both thread links of this series into your sigs, and make them stand out so people notice!!!

Also don't forget you can have a teammate if you want!!!

P.S. if any of you guys are going to send Nitro videos, then make sure they are in .wmv format. He was thinking of making a "Season Highlights" vid so we could all look at our wonderlful driving talent!!!
 
Hello, i'm nitro_2005, director of the Australian V8 Series. As you can see, my assistant and very good friend Bee has done an excellent job creating this thread. I can't stress enough how much we need entries. As you can see, we have quite a few, but i would like to have as many people taking part as possible. i would also like to point out that at the time of this post, the first round is drawing to a close, so if you do sign up after i post this, then your first event will be round 2. this sign-up wil last until round 4, so you better be quick guys!!!
 
Yes to build on what Nitro has said, entries will be delt upon immediately, and you will then have access to the next round that you can participate in.

If this could be your first OLR event then this is ideal for beginners just as much as veterans. We have a mix of abilities here and im sure you will be welcomed into the competition.

If you have any questions or queries don't hesitate to contact either Nitro or myself and we will answer right back to you.

If you are a current member of this championship, please do make sure you change your signiture so it has a link to only this thread since we will be using this one from now one.

Thanks!

Bee
 
:lol: Quite simply, if your intrested we will act efficentally and effectivly to make sure your stay in the championship is a fun one. :)

Probably yes but do you really need that in your signiture when we are trying to make this championship run smoothly and with as many competiters as possible?

Theres no need to just wreck our chances of holding a championship just because you didn't find it worked too well.

So please could you change your signiture.

@ Boomboy: Thanks for your co-operation. :)
 
Nitro and Bee,I have a suggestion: Add " Sign-ups still open " in the topic title,or edit the first post so that everyone who wiews this thread sees that the sign-ups are still open.

Just an advice that you don't have too follow.

I got ya. We are on the PSU forums together, so I'm sure that it will be fine. I'll check with him either sometime later tonight.....or tommorrow morning. Its really hard to contact someone on the other side of the world.

Of course, the more the merrier!!

And PSU stands for Playstation Underground.
 
ATTENTION ALL INTRESTED NON-PARTICITATING DRIVERS!!​

Round 4 is the deadline for new entries, after that we will not be accepting new drivers/teams. If you are intrested but not yet signed up please contact me or Nitro_2005 immediatley and we will guide you through the sign up process!

If you are a particitating driver and you wish to change car/team please contact me or Nitro_2005 immediatley so we can make the changes.

If you are on the list but so far have not raced, why the hell not? You have entrusted us with your attendance to the races, no-shows without a reason is proving to me and Nitro you are untrustful, do you want to be considered untrustful? I don't think so. So if you have not so far particitated and have gave no reason please contact once again me or Nitro_2005 and explain why.

Thanks to all current active particitants in making some close races (Even if The Internet has stormed ahead :lol: ). :)

My team has found a sponsor!


The #21 Golden Racing Technologies car shall race as Dutch Bros. Golden RT Ford


If Nitro could edit my team's name on the first post, I shall be much abliged.
 
Job done. :)👍
 
hey bee, i see that we have another new team: Team Shxxxt. Wow two new teams in the space of a few days. as long as they can make the remaining rounds and not forget, like some people, then this should be cool!

I'm really interested, but I am very busy with school, so i might only post entries sometimes, but i LOVE the idea

FYI for Aus V8 newbs (like myself):

There's something about this series that I'm still not clear on but it has to do with submitting two race times. I guess the way it works is you can run the race as many times as you like to get your best times, but you actually submit your best and second best final times.

I'm racing with a teammate so I figured we'd each submit one time for a total of two for our team, but I guess I was mistaken. Every racer submits two times.

Am I right about this?
 
Yeah, everyone races twice.
