For RD Licensed members ONLY

Overview
The RD FM3 League was a great success that had lots of close action. RD FM4 hopes to build on this to create an even more competitive league for all driver levels and to help get the all round feel of what FM4 is about. All types of races and cars will be involved to challenge everybody's abilities and to further their knowledge of upgrades and setups.

Prizes

I will be putting up 16 million credits to win, plus any donations drivers would like to make.
Prize cars will be awarded for Best Livery, Best Overtake and a secret competition you'll find out about at the end of the season.

Assists and Race Settings
The aim, is to make the racing as realistic as possible. Not all drivers are at the same level so some leniency has been made.

ABS OFF
TCS OFF
STM OFF
Easiest gears will be manual without clutch
Driving line is allowed for corners
Damage and collisions will be always on.
Any camera view is allowed.

Use the lack of assists to your advantage to set your car up. In the end your lap times will come down.

Setups

Take note that you will be encouraged to use your own setups as much as possible. This will get the best out of the car for you. Various restrictions applied to races, will make Storefront bought tunes difficult to find to meet the requirements. I will be posting tips for certain events to try and help some of you out with setups or driving lines.

Points System
Points will be awarded as follows for every race:
1[SUP]st[/SUP] – 25
2[SUP]nd[/SUP] – 22
3[SUP]rd[/SUP] – 19
4[SUP]th[/SUP] – 17
5[SUP]th[/SUP] – 15
6[SUP]th[/SUP] – 13
7[SUP]th[/SUP] – 11
8[SUP]th[/SUP] – 9
9[SUP]th[/SUP] – 8
10[SUP]th[/SUP] – 7
11[SUP]th[/SUP] – 6
12[SUP]th[/SUP] – 5
13[SUP]th[/SUP] – 4
14[SUP]th[/SUP] – 3
15[SUP]th[/SUP] – 2
16[SUP]th[/SUP] – 1

1 additional point will be awarded for the fastest lap/time of each track. Events such as Round 2 will only have 1 fastest lap point available, because we only race on one track. Round 1 will have a fastest lap point for each track.

For the events with heats, Your position in the event after all heats are completed will score you points also.

Example
Heat 1 – Driver A, 25pts / Driver B, 22pts / Driver C, 19pts
Heat 2 – Driver C, 25pts / Driver A, 22pts / Driver B, 19pts

Final Results – Driver A, 47pts + 25pts for overall victory = 72pts
Driver C, 44pts + 22pts for 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] overall = 66pts
Driver B, 41pts + 19pts for 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] overall = 60pts

All results count towards the final championship positions. Every point you score will make you more money at the end of the season.

Stewards Room
RD Rules will apply for this league which can be found here >> http://www.racedepartment.com/rules-passwords/29908-league-regulations-2011-a.html << unless stated in this post.

If there is an incident during the race that cannot or was not resolved straight away, it will be looked at after the race by the race officials. Penalties will be received by any driver in the wrong. This could be a time penalty or a DSQ if the incident was serious enough.

Any incidents that you want to raise concerns with, must be video uploaded by you via Youtube, to the Stewards Room thread. It is not the job of the mods to search through replays for your incident. There will always be someone who has saved the replay so if you want an incident looked at, you can. No incident will be investigated if there is no video to back it up.

Please post any questions and ideas!! More info coming soon...

Just to confirm, when Dan says car tuneable to F195, does this mean 'upgrade'?

I've been tinkering with bits and bobs but kept it to F195 but wanted to make sure this was allowed or whether we should be running a stock car with only setup tweaks allowed.

It's just 'tune' and 'upgrade' mean different things to me with regards to Forza.

Yeah it can be upgraded to a maximum of 195 but you can also tune it as well which of course doesn't affect the PI rating. Obviously depends on what upgrades you've fitted.
 
Me too. You can't adjust your setup in Hot Lap and also it doesn't simulate tyre wear. It would be nice if there was a way to save your times from test drive or even pick a ghost if you wish. I wish you could save a text file of the end of race result as well complete with lap times. When we finish races I have to take a picture of the result screen with my iPhone and I have to take a few pictures because it's dimly lit in the living room and 2/3 pictures are shaky.

Lol I know the feeling there Tom. I think I'll be doing it again for this league.

Post your liveries from each race in here. Each week there will be a poll to enter your favourite livery. The winner of each week will be eligible for the final vote at the end of the season. Who will win the prize cars when the final flag falls?

1st place - Ferrari 250 GTO
2nd place - Ferrari 250 Testarossa
3rd place - Ferrari 250 California
 
I should be changing broadband provider soon. Unfortunately they have said that it will be ready on the 17th Jan, which is the date of the first round of the RD FM4 league. If I haven't got it sorted by then I would like the event to go ahead anyway.

So if anyone is willing to host, incase I can't make it then I'd be more than chuffed. All I would need are pictures of the results screen at the end of the race and to know who has saved the replays.
 
Here's a picture from the livery I'll be using in the first race
