Hi All,

Figured I'd start a new thread specifically for the racing challenge...hopefully confusion will be avoided this way.

I glanced at the notes on the T3R challenge setup that Wiggum posted early in the proceedings and modifed them to suit us... here's my thoughts, to get the ball rolling...

==============================================

We negotiate a date for the event that's at least 2 weeks out, maybe a month. That will give each team time to choose and practice a 'home' car & track combination.

Then as we get close to the date, say a couple days before, we both post our car & track selections, each team having a brief chance to familiarize with the other's choice.


FORMAT:

I would suggest the following:

Cheat Prevention: Lenient
Warnings: 10
Yellow Flags: ON
Blue Flags: ON
Corner Cutting: OFF
Careless Driving: OFF
Handling: SIM
Damage: SIM
Gravel Traps: SIM
Collisions: FULL
Setups: OFF

Pitting ... not sure, I really prefer it on, but there is a risk of glitching if two cars pit very close together, so perhaps it should be off.

Qualifying: 2 LAPS
Race: 15 ... depending on track length, max 20, min 10

I guess we could do our home race with our rules and then the BEER home race with BEER rules?

Not sure how scoring worked in the BEER vs T3R event, but perhaps we could use  the patented WAR scoring system and then decide the challenge winner based on collective points of each team.

If a tie ... perhaps we each nominate 1 driver and do a 1 on 1 with everyone watching to decide it?

sounds cool

Looks there could be a coll of race from our side but thats np i think:-)
btw hi:-)

Nice to meet you all.

I copy the settings to our page, and as usualy i speak too early but we gonna set something up.

Dont know how the points must work, so maybe one of you could explaine the thing you use?

I'm not sure what you mean..?

Hi Yourself btw  welcome.


Proposed Points system:
1st Place = 15 pts
2nd Place = 12 pts
3rd Place = 10 pts
4th Place = 9 pts
5th Place = 8 pts
6th Place = 7 pts
7th Place = 6 pts
8th Place = 5 pts
9th Place = 4 pts
10th Place = 3 pts
11th Place = 2 pts
12th Place = 1 pts

Bonus Points:
Pole Position in Qualifying = 1 pt
Fastest Lap of Race = 1 pt

BUT - the maximum number of points available to a single driver is 15.

If the race winner achieves pole position and/or fastest lap, they will not recieve the bonus points, but they will have prevented the other drivers from obtaining them.

We've done a couple seasons with that system and I think it works pretty good.

[BEER4PKing]

I just respond one time:-)

Last time we choose a track and laps with our settings, and the other team choosed a track with there settings.

But one race is good also if it is on a week day.

[rip|buzinator]

I guess many of your guys are in europe, by the sound of it?
we're entirely US...so i guess it would be kind of late for you.

Perhaps we should do two races but a week apart?

[BEER4PKing]

We are mostly in GMT or in GMT+1 so yes europe.

But we can work something out, if i can catch my gameleader lol.

[rip|buzinator]

ok, np. as you say, we'll work something out.

no clue how many of ours will be able to show, but if we made it as far as 6 i think it would be a minor miracle

[BEER4PKing]

Okay im your contact for this:-)
Talked to my gameleader and we gonna see wat we can do.

I think that the settings as you proposed are good enough for us.

That leaves us with the race itself and the time.

Looking at the time differences we are not getting 15 racers either:-)

So it is gonna be early for you guys and late for us, tell me wat time suites you all, in a week day 12:00 GMT in the night is late enough.

We can do 2 races on 1 race each week?

You choose a track/car/laps and we choose one?

Then a practice time of 2 weeks?

Then set a date?

You may PM me if thats easyer.

[BEER4PKing]

I have heard that you guys firs playing the COD4 thing and then gonna race?

Theres np there but maybe someone can confirm that to me pls:-)

[rip|Ripper]

yep ytryin to setup a cod 4 scrim for friday march 28th or wed march 26th

[rip|buzinator]

Sorry m8 .... still trying to rally the toca troops.

[BEER4PKing]

np the game will be still there after the COD4 thing.

Some of our racers playing that too so its better we wait till after that.

[rip|buzinator]

that works.

[BEER4PKing]

So ill be in contact after the COD4 thing so keep a spot open for middle of April i think:-)
