As the thread title states, a new event is being planned for the well grounded teams of LFS. Please no last minute teams, and or privateers.
This event is loosely based upon the challenge that "Car & Driver" did in 2005 wheres aftermarket tuners took their best cars and drivers to Michigan Motor speedway to see who's car was the best performing and still manage to be driviable.
Cars, and their classes and catagories
Road Sports
XRT, FXO, RB4, LX4(Detuned specs will be annouced later)
Exotic
FZ50, RAC, LX6(detuned specs will be annouced later)
Race GT
FZR, XRR, FXR
Touring Hatch
UFR, XFR
Explanation
Each team will be allowed 5 runs. The timer starts once the car leaves that starting line.
That is the start of the 1/4 mile timer. Once the car passes the 1320 cone,the road course timer starts. Once the car reaches the next set of cones at the end of the road course, the driver must get the car to a pre-determined speed according to the class it runs within and hold it till the "Braking Zone/ Finish line". Once the car enters the brakinbg zone it must be as straight as possible. ANy mis calculations could rewsult in multiple penaties from hitting cones.
From the car leaving the start and stopping in the braking zone, the time will be added up and the lowest overall time wins.
Braking Zone Speeds
Road:130
Exotic:140
Race GT:150
Touring Hatch:140
Track
Kyoto Ring Oval
Driveability
Each car will be driven by a fairly new lfs s2 player who has almost no or little experience in LFS. He/She will race the car as hard as they could on the course to determine is it's easy to drive and comfortable to to race. They will give it 1-5 stars with 5 being the best.
Limit of Teams
6 teams a class, 12 a category.
Max entrants a team
1(choose your class wisely)
Max cars in event
24
ONLY 1 Driver per team. Choose that driver carefully!
Hopefully Formula 500 server will be used.
