Welcome to a new season of endurance racing.
This will be the fourth tournament I have put together,the previous two seasons were based on 330hp while the first season was a C class tornament.
I have many returning drivers who have already perticipated in at least one of these tournaments and they are back because they enjoy the racing and the comunity of people they race and practice with.
I am currently going to accept new applicants who want to take part in this event.
The racing is very competitive and I know those that decide to come on board will enjoy it.
Last seasons tournament had the support of Brandon at Turn 10 who kindly donated 3 Unicorn cars to our winners.

Here are the rules and regulations.
Racing will be run over an eleven week season.
Points will be awarded based on your finishing race position.
All particapants will be placed in a division,returning drivers already have a time rank based on last season,this determines which division they will start the season in.
New drivers to the season will race in a 3 race 10 lap try out to determine their race times.
The try out races will be raced over the same three tracks which will give me a time v time,driver v driver rank.
Last season we had three divisions,depending on the number of new entries,this season,this can change
Once I have filled the tournament with enough people then I will know how many divisions we have.
There will be promotion and relegation for people who finish top two and bottom two in their league.
The best ten race finishes you race in will be used for your total points.
This will allow you to drop your worst place finish within the eleven week season.
Once the race starts there will be no restarts for any collisions,the only exception will be a dropped connection from XBL,this would have to take place within the first 10 laps of a race except for Nurburgring as this race will be 10 laps.

Cars and race conditions.
All cars for the purpose of this tournament must be 400hp or less.
Full handling upgrades will be allowed.
Collisions will be on,and will be full race simulation.
Starting position on race grid will be random.

The following cars will not be allowed.
All Lotus family except Lotus Esprit.
Opel Speedster and its Vauxhall counterpart.

No nudity or racist remarks will be allowed on your paintwork.
Racing will start at 9pm Central,10pm Eastern.
We do have a current member who is in the UK but I understand its late for these folks,Im sorry about that,but whatever time I start it is never going to be perferct for everyone.


Here are the tracks and the order they will be run in.

Silverstone Grand Prix                    50laps
Mugello Short                                 75laps
Suzuka Circuit                                50laps
Motegi Speedway                          75laps
Tsukuba Circuit                              75laps
Sebring International                       50laps
Maple Valley Raceway                   50laps
Road Atlanta                                  50laps
Road America                                50laps
Motegi Road Course                      50laps
Nurburgring                                    10laps

Hopefully I have covered most of the pertaining information that applies to this season.
I have tried to keep this tournament user friendly in the past and it has worked.
If there is something I have missed out,I`m sure some of the current members will bring this to our attention.
So please add your name in this thread if you want in.
You will then be given some time to build your cars and tune,then you will try out.

My gamertag is RaisetheBismark.

Thanks all.

seriously...to any new comers that are reading this thread and thinking maybe...maybe not...just give it a shot...it is seriously some of the most fun i have had on this game...most of the people i race with now came from this series...and i know some of you are probvably thinking "well with no PI restriction, then  there will be no contest if you have a higher PI you will win" no way...there is give or take about a 60 point spread in the PI of most of the cars in this series from lowest to highest, and even if you have the lowest (depending on the track) it is entirely possible to run with, and/or beat, the highest...

Hi.   You may want to clarify that each week a different car is to be used in the Rules/Regulations.

Have fun everyone.

through the forums...

and I agree with bodyrollin, this is easily the best tournament out there.  all the racers are clean and respectful, they race hard every week, and are all really awesome people.

looking forward to meeting some new faces this season!

WILD1TURKEY:

Hi.   You may want to clarify that each week a different car is to be used in the Rules/Regulations.

Have fun everyone.

As Turkey said we use the "one and done" system of cars. Once you use a car you are not allowed to use that car again. However you may use a different year of the car, for example there are about 5 different NSX's in the game and you can use any of them, you cannot use the same one twice. After each race the results are posted with best lap time for the race, total race time and which car used.

You will notice that during the year there are a couple different people that will post stats based on lap times and race times, however they are not a part of the offical scoreing system. However they can be used as a tie breaker when it comes to promotions and relegations.

Hey guys,

Thanks for filling in some of the information pertaining to the tournament,I wanted to keep the first post as informative as I could without having to write an esay on the matter.
Please note! based on Beandaddy`s run in the first tryout I have decided to allow the Lotus Esprit.
The car is not dominating such as the Elise,Exige so it will give the folks another car to choose from.

Thanks all

Bismark
