« on: March 01, 2017, 07:54:55 PM »
Car: Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 2017

Season Schedule - starts Mar 14

R2: Mar 21, Barcelona GP: 1 x 32 laps [OSRW PIT MOD]
-- Mar 28 BYE --

R7: May 2, New Jersey Motorsports Park: 2 x 28 laps [DOWNLOAD] (Version 1.1, updated 6/4/17)

Qualifying starts at 8:30pm Eastern time, and there is usually a long practice session before that, starting from about 6:00 pm.

Format
One 15 minute qualifying session. Race 1 grid is set by qualifying position; race 2 grid is set by race 1 finishing position.

Sprint rounds: 2 races of approx 30 mins each. No compulsory pit stop. No refuelling allowed.

Enduro rounds: 1 race of approx 60 mins, with 1 compulsory pit stop where tyres must be changed. There is no refuelling allowed. There is no pit window (other than you can't pit on the final lap).

Fuel rate: 1x
Tyre wear rate: 1x

Points
Sprint rounds: 32 down to 1
Enduro rounds: 64 down to 2
1 bonus point for pole position.
1 bonus point for fastest race lap (2 points in enduros)

Penalties
Opening lap major infringements (e.g. avoidable rear hits, unsafe track re-entry causing accidents etc), will be awarded TBD kg of penalty ballast for the first race of the next round only (or a point penalty in the last round).

Weather
Weather will be as per the real world weather at the track on the day + 5 degrees (temperature and cloud cover only). I'll bump up the real world (northern hemisphere) temps a bit so the track isn't too cold.

One thing I will introduce this season is a lap minimum to be classified a finisher. You will need to complete 75% of the race laps to be classified a finisher and to get any points. This is to encourage people to push on if they crash, need to repair damage etc.

The poll finishes on the 8th and the season starts on the 7th?  And we have a fun run on the 7th.. Did you need a scotch too Wally? :)

As long as the poll finishes on a Friday before the Season start to allow for practise I'd be happy.

Sign me up though please.

Definitely in, and great idea on the 75% rule.

I know you tried giving points to only top 8 or 10 (which I liked) and did not go to well with some. I completely understand the reason why, so I am not pushing for any of that. But what abut the top 15 or so? I just do not think it is nice for my points to depend to much on how many people turned up that day: I have a few times arrived last and made 20% of the points of a podium finisher just because that week many people did not race. I am sure there is a sweet spot somewhere so that everybody fights for points, but if you get your unlucky race, you actually get a nice 0 ;) Might be worth trying.

I will hopefully be able to join in. I was a bit slack with sending the wheel back and only just sent it off the other day. auspost shows the package was delivered this afternoon so they are only just looking at it now. Still, being two weeks away, I'm hoping I'll have a working setup by then.

I don't know what is going to happen with my wheel base, whether it will be repaired or replaced. Whatever they do, I just hope they do it fast so I can get a full season in.

Just did a few races in the street cars and was awesome fun. Give the 911 GT3 RS a go; I think you'll like it  8)
