TESTING WATERS:
Hello, my name is Johnny, I apologize for not creating an intro thread, I just wanted to jump right in! I’m a serious clean driver, looking for others who have enough respect for racing to have friendly, serious, and competitive race days. I posted this thread on the ApexOnlineRacing forum as well, so there may be some competitors from that forum who sign up too. Anyway:
I’d like to organize a vintage Trans-Am racing series. Tentative series rules are as follows:
Max PI is B600
-All vehicles must be pre- 1975.
Eligible vehicles sorted by class:
-The series will be divided into two classes based on engine displacement: Over 2.5L (O2) and Under 2.5L (U2).
Either class must adhere to displacement rules or suffer disqualification
O2:
1971 Amc Javelin
1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z 28
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport Coupe
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302
1965 Ford Mustang GT Coupe
1971 Plymouth Cuda 426 Hemi
1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator
1973 Pontiac Trans Am SD-455
1969 Pontiac Trans Am
U2:
1965 Alpha Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Straddle
1973 BMW 2002 turbo
1970 Datsun 510
1973 Ford Capri R S3 100
1966 Ford Lotus Cortina
1973 Mazda RX-3
1969 Nissan Fairlady Z 432
1974 Toyota Celia GT
Tracks would include:
Laguna Seca
Lime rock
Watkins Glen
Sebring
Road america
Road Atlanta
Sonoma
Circuit of the Americas
-all races will be time based at 45 minutes and scored by distance driven with a 5 minute qualifying round prior to the race
-rolling start at 35mph
-Tuning will be legal, but your tunes MUST be shared so a competitor can download your tune. (This is an attempt to keep it from being a tuners race). Failure to do so will result in a disqualification.
-damage/fuel/tire wear must be set to simulation, all other assists are optional
-Both classes will need to qualify a minimum 6 racers and a max of 12 each to run the event. The class will not run with less than 6 racers. In the event that there are more than 12 qualifiers, the #13 and up qualifiers will be bumped from the race, and will not participate.
-O2 and U2 will qualify in separate lobbies, but race in the same lobby
-collisions will be on during the race, but off during qualifying
-the season will be a total of 4 races scored by points (or 8 races, depending on interest).
-points scoring as follows:
1st- 9 pts
2nd- 6 pts
3rd- 4 pts
4th- 3 pts
5th- 2 pts
6th- 1 pt
By the way, I have put forth an effort to keep the series as authentic as possible (with the exception of the U2 car selection, I added a few cars that didn’t race in the 70s to add some variety). The points, car selection, and class names are period correct. If anyone has any other info I am missing, please let me know.
Time/date/racing etiquette/race rules will be outlined in the final rule post.
