OOC Information first

Here it is, Guffingfords first attempt to create a fairly large racing competition. Why I chose (street)racing? Personal preference and getting off the beaten path of baseball, soccer/football and basketball. Instead of all the FIFA, Worldcup and Major League Baseball stuff I want to create an original racing environment, void of all sorts of real-life happenings. This doesn't mean the aforementioned are bad, but I like some diversity. I know there is/used to be a Formula 1 racing thread, but since that's just the same thing over and over again instead of different climates, nations, racing habits, themes and other unique things I have in mind for this racing competition.

What do I have in mind?

The first thing I would like to say is that every track has to be unique. Not necessarily in a different city each season, but the route has to differ significantly every race. The winner gets to choose the route, the theme and the location of the racing event. Secondly, with all the diversity in the racing tracks the whole set-up changes. This means changes in weather, temperature, environment and other factors. The theme is also an important part of adding diversity. The theme can be everything when it comes to cars. Only cars built in the 1930's, American cars produced between 1949 and 1969, NASCAR, Indy car style or Eastern Bloc productions only. It can be everything, cars coming from one corporation like Ford or General Motors. The choices are legion.

What do we have?

If this new racing RP gets off the ground, I think it's best to make playing rosters like this. Simple and clear, and easy to recognize for new players. I also need a few racing roleplayers already "in the know" to help me out on several other things. The options marked in blue are for winners only. Around all of this there's plenty of roleplaying, next to all these rosters, positions of cars and all other things required to make this fun for all.
