Ok so here is my new idea for a championship.

Maserati GT4 cars (unfortunately it is a DLC car, although it can be purchased without buying the pack) tuned to 725 PI to avoid people buying SF tunes.

Upgrades to be as follows;
Race Fannimold and throttle body
Race Cams
Race Brakes
All race drivetrain upgrades
Full width tyres
Some light rims (there are a few to choose from which lose around 36lbs)
No Engine/aspiration changes and no Forza rear aero
Tuning the vehicle is unlimited, if you choose to tune it for every different event and share the tune with your team mate so be it.

There will be a Team and Drivers Championships run together and I would like a full grid of 8 teams. Points will be scored the same as the OLD F1 system, i.e 10 points for a win and 1 point for an 8th position. I'd also like there to be no storefront paints, possibly a tuner and painter could team up together to have a good livery and a good tune? Even if it is just the number board and your name I'd prefer that to a storefront paint that looks out of place.

So if you have come this far then don't delay, go forth and buy the PH number board from my SF, it's at £20,000 with a limit of 16 (there is only a large price to ensure people actually commit)

Winnings - 1st prize driver will receive 1 million credits the winning team will receive 2 million credits split between them, Although please note that any driver match ups that don't seem fair (i.e. 2 newbies or 2 virtual Jackie Stewarts) will not be allowed. With that in mind I hope for some close racing right to the wire.

The tracks we shall be racing at are(possibly a change of order);-

Catalunya
Hockenheim
Silverstone
Nurbugring GP
Twing Ring Motegi
Sebring

The races will be at the LEAST 20 laps including a mandatory pitstop. Qualyfying will be a timed 10 minute session with a reverse grid for the race.

I think that's everything although I seem to have rambled a little, if you got here with reading it all and you're still interested copy the table below and stick your name in it!

PH Name Gamertag Team Name
MotorsportTom Akmedlovespork TBA


Oh and a picture of mine for good measure, although it does need a good painter hint hint scratchchin

Great idea Tom, infact I had something similar planned myself in these exact same cars. I would have been well in on this but unfortunately I am without XBL for a couple of weeks as I've just moved house (again) so can't join in frown

Sorry Craig only just seen this. The champ will hopefully start oh the 31st, I'm also unsure as to whether I should run it weekly or fortnightly

This sounds like a great idea, any idea what time it would likely run?

As im not that bright and have not done one of these before- do you mean that the upgrades listed are mandatory and then you can bring it up to 725 in whatever way you want as long as you follow the above rules?

Started trying yesterday- long way to go (looking at my stats ive spent 100 times longer racing than painting)

Sorry I should have made it clearer.

Using the aforementioned upgrades lost (obviously with have a few wheel choices) you will see 725 PI so hopefully that clears things up.

Also the paint looks pretty good from what I can see from my phone thumbup

Not quite sure where i am going wrong:
Race manifold and throttle body
Race brakes
All race drivetrain
Max tyre width
Light wheels (-37lb)

This brings the PI up to 704.
Adding race camshaft brings it to 725.
