Welcome to the World Street Car Challenge Round 1.

New rules are stated between the ***************.


Round Specifics:
Round 1 will be held at Midfield raceway for a frantic 5 laps.
Simulation -> Amatuer -> Gran Tursimo Championship -> Midfield
Times are due on Sunday, August 17th, on or before 11:59.59pm.

Series Rules

This 14 Race series will consist of minor to moderately modified street cars, which are modded to an even stature, battling it out with a small handicap system after every race. Referring to the finishing position of the last race, the racer will either recieve reward to use better tires, or may be taken away that right. In "No tire wear" races, the T1 tire is more slippery than the T8 tire. This is similar in concept to the Japan Touring Car Championship and SCCA Speed World Challenge balancing system. All cars have been tested before hand by me, and have been given mods to be very close to the same speeds on an average track. The idea is to make it fun for everyone and not have a Michael Schumacher of sorts, and it should make a tight points race at the end. It also makes it possible to use your favorite street car, and it's still possible to win even though it's not the fastest of all the cars in the game.

CARS

-Once you pick a car, you must keep that car for the remainder of the series. To pick a car, email me at lightningd001@yahoo.com , and I'll mail you back letting you know if it's ok, and what mods you can do to your car.
**************************************
-Oil: IF you car is allowed an oil change, you can only do so when you purchase the car. You cannot change oil during the series.
-Practice is unlimited. It is your choice whether you use the actual race car, or purchase another car to practice with. However, if you practice with the actual race car, the mileage does affect your horsepower.
-The Actual race can be done as many times as you wish. However, the more you do it, the more mileage that is put on your car, and could hurt you in the long run. If you have a bad race, and want to reset the PS2, that's is OK also. When the race is over, and you are ready to submit times, the game must be saved and the race car must keep it's mileage, whatever it might be. You cannot race an entire series, with the odometer at 0 miles at the start of every race.
***************************************

********************************

4th - minus 1
5th - stays same

7th - plus 2

The tires used will be T1 through T8. T0 will NOT be used. Here are some examples of how this will be used.
You are running T5. You finish second. 5 minus 3 = 2. You will run T2 for the next race.
You are running T3. You finish first. 3 minus 4 = -1. There is no such thing, thus you run the lowest, T1.

SCHEDULE

There will be one race per week, for a total of 7. They will be posted ASAP, and Results will be posted in the same thread of that particular race.

I hope I didn't miss anything, and I hope this will be fun for everyone :)
 
Still planning on changing the oil rule?
 
The race doesn't seem to exist. Did you mean the GT World Championship---> Midfield II?
 
??
 
The race was moved to Arcade mode/Midfield/hard. The thread with all the posts are over at GTF. Doesn't leave you much time.:rolleyes:
 
link, please.
 
found it.
 
System's in use. I was in the 1:19s last time I practiced in free run or run and setting, don't remember. maybe both.
 
Time sent.
 
If I may, I'd like to install a better clutch than what I have, I think my car could use some improvement in shifting. Not sure if I need a flywheel improvement, might, but I think that would affect the power curve or something, use it in some way different to the stock components. I figure a better clutch is more fair of a request. If Barbol does not agree, then I'm ok with out it.
 
lightningd, You might want to run over to GTP and update thier thread. Talentless is stuck over there with now one to talk to.

plus i don't want to join another forum, especially one that makes it so i've got to set up some isp e-mail account. no offense.

i can check the other thread for updates. i'm just commenting here.
 
Only just got the specs for my car....looks like i've missed this round :irked:
 
rypien's car's 14 hp higher than mine.

setups rather different too.

est. on results being posted?
 
I won? I was mostly sure I'd lose to Rypien. A third to sixth, maybe second place. Wow. Cool.
:)
 
Congrats Talentless.

Nice run.
 
Thanks.
 
I hope the next course is not in need of a lot of grip.
 
Some things that may be of interest.

I launch from second.

My best first laps were in the 1:26.7s.

I try to get fields that allow me to take my regularly line fairly closely.
 
interesting, that may help me out in my 15.1 sec 330hp civic..... :odd:
