Title: S27 Sign up and Info - Rent-a-sports car
Post by: Wally on February 21, 2019, 07:23:42 PM
Sign ups are open for season 27 - "Rent a sports car and drive it like you stole it". The season starts MARCH 5.

To sign up, head over to the CAR DEALER (https://xgnsimracing.com.au) and sign up (if you haven't logged in yet, you login with your GUID, e.g. 7656119xxxxxxxxxx, which is your steam ID or also in AC's race.ini. If in doubt, PM me and I'll tell you your GUID).

Cars
(from dearest to cheapest)
Lotus Evora S
BMW 1M Stage 3
Alfa Romeo 4C
Abarth 500 Assetto Corse
Ford Mustang 2015
BMW Z4 E89 Step1
Nissan Skyline GTR R34 V-Spec

Tracks
Paul Ricard WTCC
Silverstone International
Modena Fast
Thruxton
Tsukuba
Oulton Park International (No Chicane)
Mugello

Schedule
You can check out the season schedule here (https://xgnsimracing.com.au/season/schedule).

Format
The format's going to be like the trial season: 3 sprints, with races 2 and 3 in order of the previous results. There is an entrance fee of $300 each round (so the leaders won't necessarily be able to stay in the same car forever). There is the same fee deducted from your earnings for damage to the car, and a fine for causing an opening lap incident.

Points
25, 22, 20, 19, 18... etc down to 1.
1 point for pole position; 1 point for fastest race lap.

Hey Wally, I see when can afford any car from the start!  Do we keep it after each round?
I know you get less cash for finishing up the front but what is the point system?
:)

Thanks - I stuffed up the opening balance. Should be OK now - you can only afford the bottom 3 cars.
Like the Porsche trial, you lose your car every round, getting the Nissan by default, but then renting whatever you can afford.

The point system is 24,23,22.. down to 1, if that's what you mean.

Finally managed to source a replacement graphics card and am keen for another run at the back of the field as usual if there's no objections. Might even try to get the clubsport wheel and pedals set up but we'll see how motivated I can get.

If you reckon you are going to be able to make a few races, it helps if you sign up now anyway.

I have a few wheels now. I always had a Logitech DFGT as a backup but also have a T300 GT Edition, a G27 and of course the cheap Clubsport wheel and pedal I picked up. I have the motors to put in the wheel but haven't had the time. I'll keep the G27 as my backup now and sell off the T300 and DFGT. I may donate the DFGT if there is anyone around who wants to try out sim racing on a tight budget. Always found the wheel is OK but the pedals are crap

Hey, looks like my (our---my wife's schedule, I mean) is pretty tricky these weeks. I missed last two Tuesdays and will surely miss next. I may jump in mid-season for a few races if it looks reasonable, but otherwise I guess I am off at least half the weeks in March/April.
