GT6 "Touring Cars" series....2014

[y2blade]

The cars I have in mind are those that are in the recommended "Touring Cars" list.

Confirmed this will be held on TUESDAY NIGHTS.

This will start with 480pp on Tuesday 11th March at Silverstone International

Time slot each week will be as follows
Practice: 20:00
Qualifying: 20:45
Race: 21:00

Regs:
NOS is NOT PERMITTED
Traction Control and ABS permitted to make these cars usable for all abilities.
RACE compound tyres (weather you choose soft, med or hard is up to you).
IF we run any wet races they will be declared so before hand and we'll start on an already wet track and will use RACE WETS.
Tyre/Fuel depletion will be NORMAL.
MANDATORY pit stop (although you won't have to change tyre compounds if you don't want to).
Slipstream will be REALISTIC.
Damage on LIGHT.
Day/night transition on a fast setting on the tracks that allow it.


Calibra update.
Everyone can use (if they want to) the Calibra ONCE and only ONCE for the 480pp races.


Points will be as follows:
1st: 25 pts
2nd: 22 pts
3rd: 20 pts
4th: 18 pts
5th: 16 pts
6th: 14 pts
7th: 12 pts
8th: 10 pts
9th: 8 pts
10th: 7 pts
11th: 6 pts
12th: 5 pts
13th: 4 pts
14th: 3 pts
15th: 2 pts
16th: 1 pt

Pole position: 4 pts

DC Points: If you genuinely DC from a race by that I mean get dropped from server but come back in and spectate for remaining duration of race (IE RAGE QUITTERS won't get anything) I'll award you points for last place.
So if there were 7 finishers (as there were in round one) those that DCd will get points for 8th.




We will run various PPs across the course of the season.
We will run each PP band for a few rounds then change it (looking at three different pps) to keep variety across the races.

These will be the three PP bands
480PP
580PP
650PP

We'll use a different PP for different rounds (all of us running the same PP)...for example:
Willow Springs International Raceway = we all run 480pp
Brands Hatch GP = we all run 580pp
Silverstone GP = we all run 650pp
etc etc etc



You can still change car each week though if you like or you can use one car for the whole season and mod it to change it's PP.



The races will be approx 45-55mins each round around these tracks, Running order as follows:

Silverstone International 40 laps = 480pp
Trial Mountain Circuit 30 laps = 480pp
Willow Springs International Raceway 30 laps = 480pp
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca 30 laps = 480pp
Brands Hatch Indy = 480pp
-
Brands Hatch GP = 580pp
Suzuka Circuit = 580pp
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps = 580pp
Mount Panorama = 580pp
Deep Forest Raceway = 580pp
Grand Valley Speedway = 580pp
-
Silverstone GP = 650pp
Circuit de la Sarthe = 650pp
Nürburgring GP = 650pp
Autodromo Nazionale Monza = 650pp
Twin Ring Motegi = 650pp
Special Stage Route 5 = 650pp

Whatever night you cut from PHCC series so either Tues or Weds...I WILL NOT CLASH with any existing PH GT6 champs/series

[iwantanalfa]

I'm in! I'll race if I'm free on the chosen night. If not then I'll join when I can.

[confucuis]

Ya I'd be up for this aswell, when do you think this would start?

Excellent.
It will set a start date once I know what night Colin is dropping from the PHCC series, It'll be either a Tues or Weds so This will run on the night that is freed-up.

So not for a few weeks yet.



My Thoughts so far:
Traction Control and ABS permitted to make these cars usable for all abilities.
RACE compound tyres (weather you choose soft, med or hard is up to you).
IF we run any wet races they will be declared so before hand and we'll start on an already wet track and will use RACE WETS.
Tyre/Fuel depletion will be NORMAL.
MANDATORY pit stop (although you won't have to change tyre compounds if you don't want to).
Slipstream will be REALISTIC.
Damage on LIGHT.
Day/night transition on a fast setting on the tracks that allow it.

Points will be as follows:
1st: 25 pts
2nd: 22 pts
3rd: 20 pts
4th: 18 pts
5th: 16 pts
6th: 14 pts
7th: 12 pts
8th: 10 pts
9th: 8 pts
10th: 7 pts
11th: 6 pts
12th: 5 pts
13th: 4 pts
14th: 3 pts
15th: 2 pts
16th: 1 pt

Pole position: 4 pts

Once all of the above is set in stone I'll add it to the opening post

I'll be all over this at the weekend trying different weather/daytime settings out, really keen to get a grid of these rolling with PHers as I am in a championship for these cars already and they really are superb cars to drive.

My current race car, although I'll prob be using something different for this series...I like the look of the Z4 racecar:

Count me in for this too!

[DanielSan]

Count me in, may have to miss a few races on the weeks I work nights though. Think of my entrance as more of a gentleman driver capacity

[y2blade]

Oh brilliant looking like this should be a good series.
Those that are interested please edit and add your PSN ID if I don't already have it.

[KevSeymour]

I'll prop up the back of the grid!

I second that very disappointed with it!

[iwantanalfa]

As it's 580PP could Super GT cars also take part? A testing night could be used to determine what can take part? Would be great fun a shakedown for the series. And some good racing.
