Winter Racing League Main Thread:
When And Where:
Races will run on Wednesday and Saturdays at 6:30pm PST/9:30pm EST. First race will be on Wednesday, February 3rd. For each event I will try to open the race lobby about 15 minutes before start time to begin sending out game invites and skype calls. I would like to start as close to the scheduled event time as possible, so please be prompt!
Sprint Races will be every Wednesday. As people join the lobby, each person will tell me either a class of car or a specific car (except for Formula C). Everyone gets one choice. Once everyone's choices are made I will use an online random number generator to pick who's choice wins. Whatever that choice is is what everyone will race with, be it a specific car or broad class. Depending on the car/class chosen, I hope to restrict the sprint races to stock tunes, or in cases where it isn't practical, hopefully have people tune only tire pressures, brakes, fuel load, and maybe alignment. I really want to avoid in-depth tuning as an option for the sprint races. Once the session starts, there will be a short 10 minute practice for people to get acquainted with the car, to be immediately followed by the race. No qualifying. Starting position should be randomized (I hope). Sprint Races will have a standing start. Sprint races will be 30 or 45 minutes or so of Timed event (TBD)
Main Races Will be every Saturday and will be in Formula C. We'll get everyone into the lobby and then start a 30 minute Qualifier, followed by a race of laps totaling between 75-90 minutes (since there is no timed-race option between 1 and 2 hrs...). I will try to announce the number of laps for Saturday races by Wednesday night. There will be a mandatory pit stop. Tuning will be allowed and is encouraged. I will take opinions whether we will have standing or rolling starts. I'm leaning toward Rolling Start for the mains...
Conditions:
1: All races will take place at 2:00pm/14:00hrs game time, with Overcast weather. Race Date will match real world date, and time will be fixed.
2: Damage will be on "Performance Impacting" for all events.
3: Assists will be "Real Life".
4: Fuel usage and Tire wear will be Real.
5: Flags and Penalties will be on for Main Race, TBD for Sprint (I don't want everyone getting D/Q'd.) We'll decide as a group.
Chat:
We will be using Skype for voice chat during all of these race sessions. Everyone will need Skype installed on their Xbox, or in whatever hardware configuration you personally use to have skype while gaming on the Xbox. I will be hosting a "channel" on my PC, where all invites will be sent from, and simultaneously connected with my xbox. Those of you who were involved in my GT3 series should already be golden for this. Those of you new to this will need to contact me privately with your skype name or email address and we'll need to accept contact requests both ways before the first race starts.
Race Schedule:
Feb 3/6: Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
Feb 10/13: Zolder
Feb 17/20: Dubai Autodrome - International Layout
Feb 24/27: Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya - National Layout
Mar 2/5: Oschersleben - GP Layout
Points:
There will be 10 points possible for each Sprint Race, and 15 for each Main race, for a total of 25 possible points each week. Sprint points will be 10/1st 9/2nd 8/3rd 7/4th and so on, while Main points will be 15/1st 13/2nd 11/3rd 9/4th 8/5th 7/6th and so on. Additionally, everyone will receive a minimum point award of 2 points if they only start any session or 3 points if they finish any session but fail to place high enough for any other award. Lastly, the lowest points from one sprint race and one main race for each person will be erased at the end of the series to allow people to miss a race or be DQ'd without major penalty to their overall standing.
