I little while ago, I was thinking about how fun it would be to create my own type of racing championship on Gran Turismo 5. To add, I was thinking of going away from the norm of NASCAR, GT500 and Le Mans Prototypes. I enjoy doing races that involve more than just two laps; in fact, I have yet to experience an endurance race on the online servers for myself. I got thinking that it would be fun to have races last much more than 10 minutes, and with cars that dont involve the aforementioned racers. And here is where I say....
Welcome to the FF-100 Series!
This race series is going to be spread over 6 to 9 events, with every single race covering roughly 100 miles. The cars that take place will all have front-mounted engines, are front-wheel drive, and they can be any type of FF car, which includes Touring and Race Modified Cars. Fuel/Tyre depletion will be on, ensuring that races involve an element of strategy, while it is undecided whether I include penalties and/or mechanical damage, but BOTH ARE being considered. Thus far, due to the power and weight of most FF cars, a restriction will not be introduced initially, but if certain cars are dominating much too comfortably, power and weight caps will be set.
Currently, six race circuits have been chosen based on their type and length, with another three being contemplated as well. I have chosen to have two GT Original circuits, two World Circuits and two City Circuits for the tour to total the minimum six. One more of each particular type is open to ideas, if the change from six races to nine is praised. The current list is as follows:
1) Circuito de Madrid 2.11 miles, 47 laps.
2) Cape Ring North 2.39 miles, 42 laps.
3) Laguna Seca 2.24 miles, 45 laps.
4) Cote DAzur 2.08 miles, 48 laps.
5) Grand Valley 3.07 miles, 33 laps.
6) Daytona Road Course 3.56 miles, 28 laps.
This is in the thought process at the moment, so ideas are welcome. A few ideas I have in mind are points awarding for positions, team possibilities, and having certain cars (mainly cars whos colours/numbers cant be changed) as first come, first serve selections.
