Here it is!

Interesting idea. I'm signing up now.
How will the results be scorinated?

Does this mean that the NSF1 thingy is dead or is this a rival/unresearched similar event?

This would be an unresearched similar event, because I've never heard of the former, and I assume Macabees hasn't either. I've never seen anything about the NSF1 Competition, but seemingly season 2 died 3 months ago without a race.

Results are scorinated based on the car's stats and the characteristics of the track.

Anyway, the Tivali Ring in Vilita would like to host the final race of the season, if available:

http://www.dirt-racing.com/3wide/sites/vilita/sports/racing/tivaliring.jpg
Circuit Name: Tivali-Ring Circuit Vilita
Number of Corners: 12
Circuit Length: 3.38 mi
Circuit Type: Open Mix (Long Straights, heavy breaking & shifting. All natural and well maintained (No Street)
Circuit Fan Capacity: 500,000+ (200,000 Seated)
Circuit Condition: Excellent Quality
Circuit Architecture: The circuit is defined by the long straightaway, that crosses over the Tivali-Morata Lake.
Circuit Description: The circuit will keep the drivers on their feet all race long. The race may be won and lost based soley on who can exit the first corner the best, as the momentum they get around the Tivali-Morata straightaway will be un-measurable. Many drivers will blow turn 3 and end up in the grass.

No of Laps: 87
Race Distance:
Lap Record: 1min 41 seconds

Can I still join?

Before I join....rules on powerplants, aerodynamics, break packages, tires, suspensions, etc...?

Midland Park Raceway Circuit, Villa, DCE.

A combined stadium and deep field circuit. A staple of the Dominion Prototype Series, the track is a fast, smooth, and balanced, with a nice mix of hairpin turns and long straightaways. Seating competes with some large sports stadiums, numbering 220,000, with seating for 130,000 (red boxes). The track experiences a large dip past the stadium section, dropping 20 meters into the basin turn on the right side. The turns on the fight back uphill create a myriad of passing opportunitys on the wide turns, as spectators can regain their views of the battle as the cars barrel up one of the many straights.

The course is deceptivly simple - just a few turns between long straights. But the elevation changes force a driver to focus, no matter how much control they percieve.

Despite it's width, the Basin turn is one of the easiest to fail. The long straight going into it, and the smooth first part of the turn, tricks drivers into a false sense of security. The ground underneath them will begin to fall quickly, and if they don't brake early, they'll run right into the rumble strip and roll into the sandtrap, before rolling into the forest.

The track accomidates it's 200,000 plus guests with a large pavillion, serving the finest food and drink availible. The stadium section provides the spectators with unmatched views of the race, and atop the causeway bridges, spectators can see the cars coming straight on - a view they may never get otherwise.

We're attempting to conform to Formula One Regulations, but to be honest, you could RP most anything you wanted and be creative.

I ask that if you use the template, you change up your aerodynamics a bit. Narrow nose, or wider... wing thingys. That sort of thing. Even change the seating.

If you need drivers, there are a number available from other nations in the the GP thread for hire.

Ithink we should Have 15 teams/30 cars and have six cars fail to qaulify Just like the old days. Its not like every one recieves points anyway.

So I could do a rotary powered car, or a turboed V8 or anything like that I want? If so, I wouldn't enter a driver, but I would be more than happy to build a car for any team.

I personally don't have anything against the more exotic race car designs, but I'd have to confer with Macabees.

Turbochargers are definatly banned in F1, but I don't know about rotaries. They might be, like turbine engines are, but I dunno.

You can think what you want, but since you're not going to RP I doubt the organisers will consider your idea.

I would suggest the current Concord Agreement maximum, which is 12 teams/24 cars.

......But



For our purposes we've decided to allow an unlimited amount of teams participate, unless it gets out of hand, in which case we'll begin feeder series like F-2 and F-3.

As of next season's regulations, all teams must run a 2.4L V8, unless you're poor, in which case you're permitted to use an old 3L V10 with an FIA mandated and regulated Rev limiter. All other kinds of engines are not allowed. However, I'm more interested in allowing creativity and interesting things like that within the realm of what is reasonable. (Like no 24L Radial aircraft engines)

The number of teams allowed wasn't set in stone because for one, we weren't able to identify the number of people who would enter, and also because it didn't seem especally fair to arbitrarily put people in higher/lower divisions. I'd put the maximum number of cars that can run a race anywhere from 24-28, and if there are any more entries some teams won't qualify.

Worse comes to worse, we could start the evil blight of pre-qualifying. :p

What with this fretting? We barely have 22 cars already...

If you could build a car for me it would be mosta ppriciated.

And the Austian racing team:

Im Reserving a spot

I was thinking an updated version of the old 1300hp engines from back in the day. And rotory wise, I was thinking along the line of a 3 or 4 rotor, shouldnt displace more than 3.5L at the max, basically a race built version of Mazdas 20B or 13B-REW. We could stay away from forced induction, but I think if the real life FIA opened up to FI, the cars would finally be the ultimate pinnicale in raod racing technology. Do all cars and all aspects of cars have to follow current FIA rules? Or is it just the engines? Aust, I'll have a car for you later this evening after my chapter meeting.

In all actuality, if a team was allowed to run a Rotary engine, it would probably have an upper limit of about 1.8-2.0L, based on the performance advantages a rotary engine has over a piston engine.

Keep the regulations in mind, but there wouldn't be any complaints over slight liberties.

Well, unless I get a 100% ok from ya'll, I'll stick with stanadrd 06 regs. Aust, I'm working on your car right now.

The free driver list needs updating. Felty's been aquired by someone, (EDIT: So has Phillips & Michael Albinizi) and Leeds was never on the list. I also updated the map of MPRC. It looks pretty now.

And I added exhaust to my cars, something I can't believe I missed before.

Georhad Feltahntomp and Michael Albinizi are with DWLP, Phillips is in Tango &.

I'm doing that right now. I spent all day with a paper for art and was unable to.

Thanks mate, i owe you one.

No worries, its basically my job over the summer.

Huh?

Well, not race cars per say, but over the summer when Im outa school I work for a shop that works on cars for performance and what not. Mostly street stuff, although we do have a few shop cars that we use for AutoX and Track racing. Never worked on an F1 car though...wouldnt mind the chance.

Cool, thats a good way to spend your holidays, better than waiting on like me.

Impressive!! I might arrange the best racers to represent Ogletree!!

I entirely forgot about the driver bonus to stats, if they're still going to count -

John Leeds: 1 to Aero (Unsigned)
Maurice Grene: 1 to Cornering (Unsigned)
James KeFlinger: 1 to Reliability (Signed - TCR)
Georhad Feltahntomp: 1 to Aero (Signed - DWLP)
Steven Sloan: 1 to Cornering (Signed - TCR)

I think that's all the drivers I introduced.

Yeah, I don't believe that they are going to be used.

Just a double-check - are we using the CDG Wings?

ya. 2008 potential regulations. I'm not sure exactly why, TM just said that.

I apologize for my sporadic posting - it's been a hell of a month :S

Damn. Those things are urg-lee.

Candrian Empire, can I get to sign those two drivers for my team? sorry about no posting btw, got some problems with NS yesterday and the day before.

Go ahead. nay do I control their destiny. Just gotta warn ya, if either of them were in a crash and got injured or (gulp) died, my nation would likely go into shock.

I'm writing the biography for my drivers now. I may not be able to detailedly provide car details, but essentially it's a Williams but in a plainer colour scheme (i.e. no advertisements - it's government funded). Can you update the front page with my two drivers and test drivers?

Sorry for double posting, but I have to say: ugh. How the heck did I fall from 7th to 19th? Very annoying, since I was optimistic going into this race. Ah well, there's always next race to land in on the points

Crazy stuff happens on a relatively level field. One of my drivers went from like 16th to 3rd.

When I look at the standings, a lot of drivers with a 4-2 or a 4-3 who moved up in the standings. As this was a pro-aero track, 3-3, 3-4s, and 2-4s were at a disadvantage. There's still 7 more races, and by the sheer weight of numbers everyone has to get at least one point.

I'm glad i got my 1 point reeally. Aust for the tital.

I hate my luck. I only have one driver going into the next Grand Prix (the 2nd is in 7th but knowing my luck he'll slide like the last 7th placed). What to do, what to do...I blame the loss on drugs. Should work :p

Do we all have to stick with the same template or can we run different cars? :)



Man this is a disgrace, im founder of a Motorsports Region and I cant even be decent in this? :mad:

You have to RP to get in there,a nd you car stats have a big effect!

Well, something resembling a Formula 1 Car would be a good thing to run. But other than that, it's mostly open.

I have to agree. All the people at the top are the ones who have been RPing every race and have accumulated a significant RP bonus.

Well, I have tried to, and I have RP'ed almost every race, so why do I have placed 7th at max? Do I have some extremely bad luck or what?

Do the track suit your cars. Having good speed seem good.

That's a pain - I'd had a decent news article written and FORGOT TO POST IT :mad:

Well, Ragji needs 2nd next race to secure the title - and possibly lower, 4th seems reasonably likely. Here's to hoping my almost-perfect record of news posting pays off here, at the end of the season. Southern Universe GP won't be stopped now - congratulations, guys!

Good luck to everyone in what the Rolatian media are calling Race Omega!

The RP bonis has really started to come across in the final races a lot more, I.E. everyone with a decent bonus accumulated is up at the top of the results.

The points scale his just hard to get into at this size, but, frankly, Excel hasn't seemed to want to give you good numbers.

Dmn Excel!

I have mixed feelings. I've gone from crap to super-good to crap to good again Oo

Good Lord, I feel nervous. It's already past midnight here in the UK and I'm anxiously waiting for Casari to get home - Rolatia for the win!

By the way, will RP bonuses carry on to next season? I plan to do a pretty nice season analysis for Team Rolatia in the next couple of days and hope this will carry over to the next season.

same. twin crescent ftw.

Even if i don't win, it'lll have been a nice, celebrated run, & the drivers will be in the fanfare of citizen 1 billion like tomorrow. along with the cars & the entire team.

Ditto here. No matter what, Thomas Ragji will be a national hero for years to come - the first true international Rolatian sporting idol. And Team Rolatia will be regarded highly for the next few years

It's a bit ironic that my secondary driver is sometimes doing better than my primary driver. < <

Hey, that's how it started out with me. The trend quickly ended Oo

Oh. My. God.
I won BOTH titles?!? Wow, it was unlikely but IT HAPPENED!
Well, I'll start writing my news post now. But it is 2:30AM now and I am tired so I may only get it out sometime tomorrow

Eh, my news is sorta going to be in II.

Will we keep our RP bonous?

I think I won't be competing in some seasons to come, quite busy. Maybe I'll return sometime.

Bah, two people leaving. :( Well, I will most definately be around next season and will most likely roleplay more as well...I got more than I expected [second place driver and third place team], but I never released the car and such, so I just didn't RP - hopefully, next season that will be turned around.

But TM, I made the Tango car look so purtey! It woulda looked pwn with some good sponsors!

Can someone please answer the question of whether the RP bonus carries over?

Oh, don't worry, it will be used! I'm releasing the car before the start of the second season.

You're going to have to wait for Cas to answer that one. And Cas, when is the second season beginning?

:p I feel a little thrown under the bus on that one.

I haven't exactly planned if the bonus for next season would be related to the RP bonus or if it would be a bonus based on the season's results. I was leaning towards the latter, as that's how most other sports RPs run.

I'm still beating on the scorinator, but signups for season 2 should start in a few days.

Either way, especially the latter, works for me ;)

Signups in a few DAYS? That's not enough time for me to update my cars...

Oh, I'm trying to think of a new color scheme... I still wanna intergrate the colors of the Dominion flag, but I don't want it to be exactly the same. Any suggestions?

A few days = at least the other side of Christmas. Then Signups will run for prob. more than a week. All in all, we prob. won't start a new season till after New Year's, just because people are doing things this time of year.
