I'm thinking of going back to Gen II to see how I stack up :sly:

I want another Ampharos and Crobat duo during that journey (Goldie and Ampy are my Female Crobat and Ampharos duo in Emerald :p).
 
Well back on topic with a fun fact:
I was planning on a Kart series but decided not to finish the thread :lol:, it had 125cc, 100cc and Jr.cc in 3 - 5 lap races :lol:.

:dunce:

This series sort of hatched out of a crazy idea we had :lol:. Not sure if it was because I was organizing a kart race that day and Nas' had an epiphany or it came out of nowhere (I was thinking about a karting series before I even had my PS3 but sorta forgot it :p).
 
However I'm doing an experiment for a series (It's not a Global GT Support Series). I just got to think how it will work.

What's it about?? Tell me through PM.
 
Thanks for attempting to get back OT with karts... :lol: But can we keep it to the Nascar Rally Sparky Karting Cup? :)👍
But to settle the origin of NRS:
Me sparky and mort were in a SSRX room, I think. Anyway all three of us were in a room. Rally said something about a karting series. I threw in classes (Originally all three). And sparky tossed in ideas. We set a deadline for OP Posting later that week, and here we are 600 posts later :D
 
I remember it slightly differently:

I was rapid-firing ideas out of my brain, which you guys then gave your opinion on. For some reason, the only one really interesting, was karting :)

So, are we gonna keep to the 2-classes with low driver numbers, or will we reset points and all drive the 100 (maybe even the non-DLC for those interested but doesn't have it?)?
 
Here I am ridiculously early in the morning because I couldn't sleep :grumpy:

I won't tell the whole story here because the mod's would have to stop me :p

Origin story revelation: Someone shot out karting at random, I remember that I said hell yeah and started thinking about class divisions (125cc was cut in the end). We then started from there with all three of us throwing in ideas and stuff :p

Yes as there are actually 5 Jr.'s given you stay. And if the points table changes, I woudn't say reset, rather change the points.
 
UPDATE: No penalties this week but I will say it got a bit too crazy. Now im not saying lets go FIA style and run single file- Because the racing was amazing -Just mind the back bumper :)👍
 
i think we should all race 100cc
heres why
firstly it makes life simple and i think were all for that.
secondly we would always have a good turn out for the class
thirdly the speed difference creates problems due driver being caught out particularly in the corners I know i was bumped a few times in the corners.

I also think this is a good opportunity to change a few things
Firstly we can adjust the points system
The british super bike system may be most appropriate due to the closeness of this series
The info for this sytem can be found here

I would also suggest changing the race formats to this
start slightly earlier 10 min quali
followed by 3 15 minute races this means that if your in a rush they should be able to get at least one race in
The second race would be reverse and third would be based of previous race

I would suggest we have a look at the penalty and steward system for this, you could look at one of the other series systems and adopt that

i can also help with footage if needed as i have editing software so if you give a idea of what you want i can work on it

Perhaps. But I'd still like to have 2 classes. Even if its the same karts. Like a junior class and an experienced class. And I think the points are fine, I mean, what's wrong with it? The wins are already rewarded. If there's a tie (there already are quite a few) the person & team with most wins breaks the tie.

We should reward wins more.

We should also give DNF points to people who got DCed JUST before the race but didn't manage to make it despite having to restart his entire PS3 because some genius decided to rush the race start therefore being left out of the first race :mad:

I think we should stick with just one class.

two classes when we have more drivers
what do you all think about the idea of more races that are shorter in length
 
I personally don't really like it, I enjoy longer races. But you said that it'd be easier for people who have limited time in their hands so we should reconsider that.

That was my original idea when throwing stuff at Morten and Nas' (Who isn't listening to me right now and I'll have to kidnap him :mad:)

I dunno about how the points system we have would work with 3 races (Probably better :dunce:)

As for the classes: I originally wanted 125/100/jr, we slimmed it down to 100/jr and now, seeing You and Morten's romp yesterday I think I see how this isn't gonna work unless we have more drivers.

We could do something like the GRC, have both classes race separately in alternating short sprints of 10 or 15 laps (Depending on the course).

That way we could have drivers participate in both classes.
 
It's just that I like the idea of having traffic and having to avoid it.

I just want to sort out the lack of drivers for jr class (I don't wanna scrap it :yuck:).

In the GRC, a racer can participate in Super Class and Limited class at the same time due to the heat system. If we want more drivers in Jr, we could go that route and make the races shorter and alternating between both classes.

Plus we didn't have heavy traffic at all yesterday :ouch:

This. Also people who have less time could only race in one class and only do one race, but still be able to gain maximum points.
 
Well, maybe yes, two separate races for each of the 2 classes may be a good idea. It's up to you, the organizers. :sly:
