Title: Re-live the 1966 Cam-Am Series.
Post by: Bruce on July 30, 2017, 11:22:55 AM: Lola T70 & McLaren M1B Re-lives the 1966 Cam-Am Series.

Thanks to Bacchulum for finding the mod. Season inspired by Humper's urgent request.
Thanks to GzeroD for the "fixes" in the MacLaren mod.

Lola T70 Mod Download. (http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/lola-t70-mkii-spyder-rf2.16043/)
Plus AC Legends McLaren M1B Mod Download.
(https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6YBokXY5o8QVTVsVWRReDVnd00)

Format
We will follow the 1966 CanAm Series tracks, where possible. You never know, someone may model up the Las Vegas Stardust Raceway.

(https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/flattops.bucket/Stuff/1966CanAmSeries.png) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_Can-Am_season)

So a 5 round season allowing us to enjoy this new very good mod and wind down to the end of the year with a roaring pre-Xmas Season "AC Legends Pack 8 cars for AC".
The tracks will need our track pundit, Rooshooter, to assist in quality/versions.

Two races per round: race 1 about 15 mins after qualifying, race 2 will be ~2 to 3 times race 1, with the starting order set by the order of race 1 fastest lap times. Race 2 will have the "Restrictor" set dependant on race 1 positions.

Balancing the field
As above, setting the restrictor from the race 1 warm-up will allow the car/driver capabilities to be tightly aligned.

Schedule
R1: Sep 7, ~~Mont - Tremblant~~ Download (http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/wip-circuit-mont-tremblant.14185/), 5 laps + 22 laps
R2: Sep 14, ~~Bridgehampton~~ Download (http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/bridgehampton-race-circuit.6604/), 8 laps + 20 laps

Baskerville Historics Break

R3: Sep 28, ~~Mosport~~ Download (http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/mosport-2012.7766/), 6 laps + 18 laps
R4: Oct 5, Laguna Sega Download (http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/laguna-seca.16323/), 8 laps + 18 laps
R5: Oct 12, Riverside Download (http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/riverside-international-raceway.9492/), 8 laps + 20 laps
R6: Oct 19, Stardust Grand Prix Download (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6YBokXY5o8QMDg0bmNHUnZXekk), Laps TBC
Points
As per the "Phil.8 system".

Track testing and car familiarisation will be Thursday 24^th and the 31^st August.

Just to whet your appetite...

Have to strike while the iron is hot, we all enjoyed the car/mod and if you can use your acumen on the tracks, it will be a good season, I believe.

Post by: Bacchulum on July 31, 2017, 01:57:48 PM: I found an AC Legends McLaren M1B on my install. :o
Not sure if it came in the November series download or it was already there.
My point is, it's comparable to the Lola! 8)
It could add a little bit of variety. ;)

I also was going to mention it, it is on par with Lola T70 just a bit faster.

Post by: rooshooter on August 20, 2017, 01:03:38 PM: Would you consider adding the Ferrari 312PB and the McLaren M1b cars from this mod Bruce?
https://depositfiles.com/files/k8jyfz9f8
The performance is on par with the T70 and they are also can-am cars.

Post by: Seanus on August 20, 2017, 09:40:02 PM: M1b is in, see above, the 312 is from the wrong decade which in of itself is no problem it's just the McLaren and Lola come from exactly the same year and ran against each other competitively. Also I think the Ferrari is going to be in the upcoming DLC???

Ok good , I did not see that post, in testing I did around Highlands the M1b is a fraction faster than the T70.

Sorry it wasn't too clear in the first post, I have updated it with a clear listing of cars, interesting if the next DLC matches up another period correct car for the this season.

you watch Tuesday will be onto this like the Escorts :)

Post by: Seanus on August 21, 2017, 12:11:55 PM: My version of the McLaren has fixes in it and I suggest we use it rather than the version inside the Legends pack.
