Hello all! I am anxious to do some series racing on FM5. I have devised this small 3 race series to get my feet wet.
RECENT EDITS/UPDATES: Additions of Road America
*Series currently full. We will consider people as back ups, should anything go wrong, on a first come first serve basis.
Welcome to the Triple Crown Endurance Championship (TCEC)! A place where us FM5 players can get a taste of what is to come in the coming months. With content updates and DLC FM5 will be changing, at the moment we will run this series with what we have and make the most of it.
Please if you will send me a PM with your email so I can send you a text document that further discusses the series and also names the prizes.
to sign up below post your Gamertag, timezone, car and number choice. If you are running with a teammate post that also.

ALL CARS MUST MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS
ASSISTS
All assists will be driver discretion with the exception of one, simulation damage will be on.
GAME OPTIONS
Game options will be circuit race. We will take the average lap time and divide two hours by the that to set the number of laps.
RULES
1.1- Qualifying- 6 laps at Sebring and Road Atlanta, 3 laps at Le Mans. Collisions will be off. Fastest clean lap wins pole position
1.2 Pace lap- All drivers will use the pace lap to warm up their tires. 80MPH speed limit. No collisions.
1.2A Standing start- at the end of the pace lap we will come to a complete start in grid order double file. Race will start after all are in order at a specific time mentioned by me via the race time.
1.3 Early Accidents- If any accidents occur within the first 4 minutes of the race we will restart with no penalties issued.
1.3A Cautions- when there is an accident the cars involved will be able to pit, all others will slow down to 80MPH until the field has been reset in running order at the time of accident, anyone a lap down will be put back on the lead lap. Persons involved in accidents will restart at the back of the field, with the ahead person at the time of the accident starting ahead of the other person. After the grid has formed back up race will resume under the direction of me in the manner of the initial start.
1.4 Passing- All passes must be called out via headset, notifying the slower car of your position in relation to theirs.
1.4A Blocking- Blocking is permitted when its between cars racing for position. You will be allowed one block per straight/corner one move. If the faster car reacts to your block and has a better run you cannot make multiple moves to maintain position. Lapped traffic cannot block lead lap cars.
Causing an accident while blocking will be heavily investigated (permitting there’s reviewable evidence). We cannot have people causing accidents that are avoidable while blocking.
1.5 Pit Window- Pit windows will be from 1hr-1hr 15min. All cars must pit within this window. Pit entrance and exit must be declared via headset.
1.6 Declaring avoidable contact- Accidents will be reviewed by me and another party to decide if contact was clearly avoidable via the race replay. This is virtual racing, done within the limit of technology and human skill, expect some paint trading.
1.7 Teams- Anyone wishing to run with a teammate may, but you must both be in the same car.
PENALTIES
Penalties given for avoidable contact will be served in the next race. Penalties given during the final race at Road Atlanta will be a deduction of 5 pts. Penalties given for Sebring and Le Mans will be served via pit penalty at the start of the race. 2nd and any other offenses will be a deduction of 5 pts.
POINTS
Driver points will be awarded based upon the number of entrants. Ex: 16 players- 1st gets 16pts 2nd gets 15 points and so on. Team Points will be awarded in the same manner then added together.
LIVERIES/CAR NUMBERS
Liveries and car numbers will be available on a first come first serve basis. Liveries and numbers taken will be listed in order on the thread at forzamotorsport.net. Liveries are not required but highly suggested. Numbers are required. I will have custom series plates available to those who ask. Message me on Xbox live so I can create one with your number. Plate will be shared and you can download it.
