CWAD New 2023 Championship "A History of Motorsport"

CarWars AutoDuelists is running homologated races in a championship titled “A History of Motorsport” started on June 4th 2023 and is open to drivers of all skill levels.

For the historical homologation championship we take the oldest car in each division and assemble races in that order. IE.: The oldest car in the game is the 1926 Bugatti in The Birth of Grand Prix division. So for event 1, you build a Birth of Grand Prix car while keeping it homologated to A625 class. The following event, the next oldest car in the next division is the 1932 Ford in the Hot Rod Revival division, so you build a Hot Rod Revival car and keep it homologated to D375 class. Each week adds a new division to the championship.

As far as league rules go, all CarWars AutoDuelists league rules apply: No tinted windows. Cars must have your driver name and number (real name or gamertag) clearly visible on both left and right sides of the car, additional is acceptable. You must have your country of residence flag in front of your name. Your car must bare the league name CarWars or CarWars AutoDuelists. If you belong to additional leagues/clubs, you can put that on your car in addition to your or the official shared CWAD decals. All builds, tunes and paints must be self-made or shared by a current CarWars league member. (I will share at least one tune for each division). This championship will use the standard CarWars AutoDuelists 10 point system: 1-3 points for qualifying, 1-3 points for time-trialing and 1-10 points for each race of the evening.

If you’d like to participate, PM me here or on Xbox Live. This is the event were running until FM8 comes out.

This event has finished early due to the release of FM’23 (FM8). Our new championship within that title will commence on Novemember 5th 2023.
