The Rolex Sports Car Series- Season 2! Finished! Thanks Everyone!

[cnd01]

Ahhhhh tuskuba was crazy enough in ITCC, the LAST thing that track needs is group c cars zipping around these gt cars!!! It would for sure make some people mad at each other... This is a happy series, let's keep it that way

That's right. That's why I vote Trial Mountain. It is my 3rd favorite circuit in GT, and it is my favorite original circuit.

 

[ghskilla]

Problem solved eh!

But we've got the weight issue with the rx8, damu used like 1200kg in the race and Mel used 1100kg... 1150?

Tell damu and Mel to read the OP's car specs, which you will update, right? With team banners and such?

I do like the track too, I was actually contemplating a indycar style championship, where the championship will be broken down into different parts. But there would still be a overall.

I decided it wasn't realistic, but for the lulz I'll let ya know what the idea was

NAEC- Daytona, laguna, Indy

Japanese tour- Fugi, Tokyo, Suzuka

GT Originals- grand valley, trail mountain, cape ring



And yes, I will update the OP, I haven't been on the computer in a few days... Phone has fed me my GTplanet dose...

No Le Mans or Nurb? When will this 20 lap triple header take place?

 

[james6653]

I have a track that I really think everyone will love. I would like it if you guys would give it a test sometime this week and give me some feedback. Maybe if we get good feedback we can try it in continental this season then use it in rolex next season. I am not the creator. If everyone likes the track I will have him post on the thread and say who he is. He made this track special for the series.

Yea... But the idea fell through, they're on the schedule!

And either tomorrow, thursday night, Friday night (at Rolex time) and if we can't settle on a date, then it will take place of Daytona this weekend. Like i said before, Daytona won't happen if someone will run away with it.

On Saturday in place of daytona would work for me.

Could we make it start at 9:30 eastern? I have work until 9 eastern. Work is 15 min from my house. This will give me time to get home even if work runs late. We can run some each day if necessary to catch everyone.

9:30 what day?

 

[cnd01]

9:30 what day?

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I get off of work at 9:00 eastern every weekday.

1001 posts on the app and 1000 posts on the computer!!!! And the season hasn't even started yet!!!!

But back to the task, it seems as though we could do a 20 lapper each night leading up to Saturday? That may be a idea...

I can do that. Say the long track firs tomorrow. We can try a 4th track if we start tomorrow. We can try a street circuit. Madrid anyone? I will let you guys know when I get off of work tomorrow so we can get an idea of a start time.

1000 posts on the thread. I am nearing the 1000 mark on posts myself. I will probably get it tomorrow.

Excellent! For all the good things in that post!

And a street circuit would definitly be a solid idea.. Rome anyone?

Hey Polar, I've decided to redesign the OP to make it more organized and updated. Let me know what you think. If you want to use it, quote this post, remove the quotes code, copy/paste the text into OP.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Rolex Sports Car Series!


After a successful season 1, we bring you season 2! And it comes with MANY new changes!

• DP class changes from LMP cars to Group C cars!
  
• DP moves from 8 cars to 6, for realism reasons!
  
• GT has some new faces, and now has 10 cars!
  
• GT now has the Mazda rx8, Dodge Viper ACR and Chevrolet Camaro!
  
• For the first time, we will have 2 street courses!
  
• The NAEC will actually happen this season!
  
• Cautions!

---------------------------------------------------------------

General Information

This is a semi realistic series, modeled after The Rolex Sports Car Series, a North American sports car sereis. Like the real life series, we will have two classes, DP and GT. DP stands for Daytona Prototype, these are represented by Group C cars. The change was made because the Group C cars look more like the real life "DP" cars, as there aren't any DP cars in the game. GT stands for Grand Touring. These cars are production cars turned into racecars! We use the street car version of all the cars, and put every GT Auto aero part on them as possible! This works very well for us, the cars end up looking very close to their real life counterparts!

Dates And Times!

The races will be on Saturdays starting at 6:30 pm eastern US time. Here's a schedule of the days events:

6:30- Room Open

6:30- 7:00- Both Classes Qualifying

7:00- 7:05- Break (Bathroom Break)

7:05- Race Start

8:45- Race Will Definitely Be Done By Then (Maybe a NAEC Race will be a little longer, but not by much)

---------------------------------------------------------------

POINTS:

Due to the differences in car numbers in each class, we will use a slightly modified points system for each class.

DP:

P1- 60 Points
P2- 50 Points
P3- 40 Points
P4- 30 Points
P5- 20 Points
P6- 10 Points

GT:

P1- 100 Points
P2- 90 Points
P3- 80 Points
P4- 70 Points
P5- 60 Points
P6- 50 Points
P7- 40 Points
P8- 30 Points
P9- 20 Points
P10- 10 Points


The GT class winner won't have a advantage, as there arent any championships that mix both DP and GT classes.

CAUTIONS!

Hopefully we won't need to use these rules...but.... they're here!

This is our first season using cautions so here are the rules! We will be following the real Rolex caution format, but with a few changes.

We will have two "caution" procedures, one for the NAEC and one for the normal season.

Caution Type 1: NAEC Caution Procedure

- Must involve 2+ cars!

- Cars involved must type in the chat box "caution"

- Once that happens, DP cars will slow down to a speed of 30-40mph

- Lap 1: GT cars will catch up to DP cars (NO PASSING)

- Lap 2: DP cars will pit this lap

- Lap 3: GT cars will pit this lap

- Lap 4: GT cars will catch up to DP cars, race will resume at the end of this lap!

- DP cars will be infront of the GT cars at the restart!

Caution Type 2: Regular Caution Procedure

- Must involve 2+ cars!

- Cars involved must type in the chat box "caution"

- Once that happens, DP cars will slow down to a speed of 30-40mph

- Lap 1: GT cars will catch up to DP cars (NO PASSING)

- Lap 2: BOTH classes will pit in this lap

- Lap 3: Both classes will exit pits and cruise at a speed of about 60mph (~100kph)

- RACE WILL RESUME AFTER YOUR CAR CROSSES THE FINISH LINE

Starts!


Our starts will follow the following procedure:

-DP cars will start on their formation lap at 60 mph (~100 kph)

-GT cars will stay stationary in their grid boxes until DP cars have cleared the first turn

-Both classes will be going 60 mph until the start/finish line

-Race starts at the start/finish line, no passing until then!



The NAEC!

Just like the real life series, we are doing the North American Endurance Championship. The three races that make up this championship will be:

• Daytona Road Course: 75 laps
  
• Indianapolis Road Course: 65 laps
  
• Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca: 75 laps

These tracks were chosen because they were in the championship in real life, with the exeption of Watkins Glen. These will be longer "endurance" races, like in real life. There will be a sperate points championship. These races will count to the normal championship, in addition to the NAEC.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Track List!

Pre-Season:

-Daytona Road Course

-Tokyo Route 246

Regular Season!

-Daytona Road Course (NAEC)

-Special Stage Route 5

And a street circuit would definitly be a solid idea.. Rome anyone?

Madrid or Rome. What about Cote' De Azur?

 

[polarbear345]

I always seem to catch people at the swimming pool... I don't like Monaco for anything but f1 cars... I like Monaco with rally cars on dirt though....


And about the revamped OP, how did you do those lines?

Any other street circuits? I can't think of any more off of the top of my head besides Tokyo 246 and SSR5 which aren't true street circuits IMO too wide.

I just did the subtraction sign like this

And copy/pasted it to where it needed to be.

You should use the new OP. I feel it's more updated.

Thanks! I do feel I'll use the copy and paste feature a bit! I may just use parts, I won't just use yours, it'd make me feel like it wasn't mine :/ but I'll definitly use some of it!

I spent 30 minutes trying to get the grammar fixes, font choice, and pictures on... for nothing...

Anyways, I vote the pre-season to be on Tuesday-Thurs.

We could run the preseason Tues-Thurs and have a Continental race Friday. I totally forgot about it. Where will that race be? If we have time after that the we could run the bonus street circuit if we still just have to have some specs varified.

It's not for nothing! Itll be used tomorrow! About mid day... If I get to it... I'm bad with this stuff.... Lol

And I think tues-thurs will be great! We have VLN and continental in Friday if all goes well, so it'll be packed!

 

[cnd01]

I can do an early morning test tomorrow test say 9 eastern (or earlier) if you guys want to. I have work which will catch me at 10:30 eastern.
