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

[tbwhhs]

I'm not going to be able to make the race tonight. I'm just too tired that late in the day.

 

[freshseth83]

I'll try to make the race. Can't guarantee it.

Reposting this so polar can get the updated OP up, names and teams are in the right place, and I've added some new things for extra eye-candy.

REMADE 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.

[Shinshiki]

Depending on the weather situation in my area(Yet again!) I'm going to try and make it tonight, but I can't make any promises.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I'm not racing. I'm like there team owner. I am gonna handel all of the car stuff like oil changes and everything.

Handel was a genius. Please capitalize his name! Or did you mean handle? As in, take control of...?



Also, that Speedsource thing, how did you know? !

Magic.

I remembered the page where polar asked for team pictures and you were saying that SpeedSource had two different car colors, so I assumed you were going to go for SpeedSource.

You still need to post your picture.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Shameful Sheep, are you OKAY with me taking photos from Tokyo to be our team photo?

 

[cnd01]

Shin we need to use your photo of us side-by-side at the start line at Daytona RC.

 

[ghskilla]

No worries, got it already, look at the updated OP.

 

[cnd01]

No worries, got it already, look at the updated OP.

You are a genius. The magic of photobucket lol

 

[Shinshiki]

I'm more than happy to let you guys use it for the OP. No worries!

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I'm more than happy to let you guys use it for the OP. No worries!

You're not Shameful Sheep! Also, I take it that your power hasn't gone out yet, congrats! I'm glad to hear that!

 

[Shinshiki]

You're not Shameful Sheep! Also, I take it that your power hasn't gone out yet, congrats! I'm glad to hear that!

Not yet but come race time it probably will.

 

[ghskilla]

I'm so bored I'm resorting to changing OPs of series that I don't own and actually wait patiently for 30 minutes just for a start of a clean NASCAR room.

Oh woe is me.

Race time couldn't go any sooner...

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Not yet but come race time it probably will.

Good luck Shin! It's always more fun being passed by you. Of course, you're supposed to pass me, since you're in DP, but, you're more considerate while passing. 👍

 

[cnd01]

I think we had a bumper car session last week at 246 No big deal. though. I mistook you for Shameful Sheep.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Yeah. I just assumed that you didn't know that GT cars weren't going full through there. I noticed that you DP guys were going full through there, and tried to show you by putting brake lights on, that we can't go full, but you were closing too quickly.

That and if it was in fact Shameful Sheep, it is our duty to shunt him whenever possible

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Hey? Why you hit my teammate? James isn't my teammate.

 

[ghskilla]

I'm so impatient!

Hurry up, clock! I'm bored of everything!

 

[cnd01]

Hey? Why you hit my teammate? James isn't my teammate.

Just kidding bro. I am waiting for my boss to get out of a meeting. Once he does then I should be home free.

 

[polarbear345]

Hey? Why you hit my teammate? James isn't my teammate.

Ahhh I see it now!

 

[Mac K]

Tonight isn't mandatory is it?

 

[polarbear345]

Tonight isn't mandatory is it?

Nope.

 

[Mac K]

Not sure if I'll make it, gonna try me best.

 

[polarbear345]

Not sure if I'll make it, gonna try me best.

Alright.

 

[ghskilla]

It's at Spa, right? And how many laps?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Alright.

I too might not be able to make it. I have a SNAIL event to go to.

 

[cnd01]

It's at Spa, right? And how many laps?

I thought Monza, but Spa will work. If it is at Spa then probably no more than 12-15 laps.
