Tour di F430 now open to entries!

[fbccars924]

Ok, so I was fooling around with the two F430's in stick form and thought to myself "why not setup a racing league of F430's with only a few mods to make them close in power and weight to take on a few tracks", Here I am now with all the rules and regs figured out.

Rules are as follows:
1. F430's only
F430 and F430 Scuderia
2. Sports Soft Tires or less
Pretty self explainatory.
3.Power
<520hp
4. Drivetrain
All drivetrain and trans components are available.
5. Body/Suspension.
Full custom suspension is allowed, Frame rigidity is also allowed. >1350kg curb weight
6. Aids
ABS 1 is allowed, no others, no exceptions.
7. Manners
We're all mature and need to carry ourselves that way. If you bump a driver off course on accident you are expected to apologize at the next possible convenience. If it is found that the bump was intentional, no matter what your finishing position you will be DNF'd and made to start at the back of the pack at the next race. That said though if you are bumped do not assume you can get the person DNF'd just by saying it was intentional witnesses will be asked.
8. Mics
Not all of us have them and during a race they can be distracting so please turn your mic off during the event. Practice/Qualifying laps they are allowed. As stated above in Rule #7 Please be respectful.

Tracks:
(List is still in progress)
Laguna Seca
Monza
Spa
Trail Mountain
Leman's
Nurb GP/F
SSR 5(city course)
Tokyo R246
Rome
Cape Ring Periphery

The rules are all in place to keep the racing close and to give all entrants a fair shot. Rules might be added and modified to make everything easier to run and to work any bugs out of the processes set in place. Ideas or question feel free to post here

Thank you,

I have been looking at the specs and will update the weight regs shortly.

What time zone(s), time of day and day of the week would you be thinking of holding the races?

Also are you happy to have people from all over the world take part, or would you want to keep things for mainly North American racers?

What format are you going to use for qualifying / race starting?

What is the points system you are going to be using?

What race distance are you planning, will it be a lapped race or a timed race?

I think if you add the above it will help give people a better idea of what they will be signing up for. Sorry if I have come across arrogant by putting these questions up, but in my experience of joining race series, these are usually stated for people to see.

Regards,

Felix

This sounds so fun! Add me on PSN: Please_confirm.

I assume your league includes the 430 Scuderia because you mention the F430 can have an exhaust? Why not limit the tuning via PP so people can apply ballast in a way which best suits their driving style? I run 40 | 60 distribution on most of my F430/430 Scud tunes.

Figure out a time and date and I'm in. Gives me a use for that 430 that I got out of a prize ticket

 

[fbccars924]

Well, As far as times go I'm in the Central US or rather Mexico City Time zone. I am available most of the night so the times will depend on who is racing and when they're available. I was hoping to be able to start qualifying 10-15mins before race start. The day/days and time this will occur is still open for discussion.

Now, Tuning. The Limits I have in place are set with the Skideria and Base 430's I have. both have roughly 25 miles and are tuned to within 1 pp of eachother. Broken in I'm estimating in respective current trims they will max at around 550pp and 520hp(after oil change). I will allow the Ballast to be put in Any position as it only affects the weight balance by 1 percent.


Race length, I am unsure as to how long we would be on course so If anyone would like to do a test n tune with a 15-20lap at spa. I know I would like to have around an hours worth of racing. My PSN: is big_noobowski924. If anyone is interested I would like to have an assistant to help organize things, preferably someone with a mic just to make things easier on race day. I need all interested parties to add me via psn because I am going to try and hold the races in my lounge just to keep the children in their hybrids and x1's out of the room. I'm not against hybrids in general I just would like to have a decent time racing.

Edit: New tracks added to list.

What about torque figures? Are they the same with sports exhaust?

What GT Auto parts will be allowed? Wheels, aero?

 

[fbccars924]

Torque figures are similar. No Aero is to be used but wheels, paint, oil change and the like are allowed. The Base model doesn't have any Aero to be added anyway.

Also Daisey, I think that would be ok. I do think that however I will revise the Car regs so that instead of trying to keep the cars close I should just make ther be a Min weight (1350kg stock weight of Scuderia) and a Max HP once I finish breaking in the Scuderia. Essentially the Scuderia will be the benchmark in terms of weight and HP specs as it's the higher of the two. I do still want to keep the racing close so I want to keep Power adders to a minimum as different combinations can yield the same hp with different torque.

I will edit rules and regs though to fit.

 

[fbccars924]

Ok, little bump. I am ready to start taking entries. Any driver/tuner's interested in joining the fun FR me on PSN and begin practicing. First race is TBD. But rules are finalized.
