uhm... Where can i find that mojave oval???

It's a DLC. It's the Lotus Classic DLC I believe. It's not a track that has pits, but it's part of the whole Mojave complex.

 

[Rob]

Note: There will be a "one drop" rule for this league. Only your best SIX races will count.

 

[Gustavo Sobrino]

i have that DLC but i have never seen that track. is it part of another circuit?

 

[Rob]

i have that DLC but i have never seen that track. is it part of another circuit?

I think it is called "Coyote Noose" in the game, but it's one of the track variations within the Mojave Track, which itself is just a big circle, a skid pad, and about seven separate tracks within the massive banked oval.

 

[Gustavo Sobrino]

yeah i've search the interwebs and found out that it is part of the Aston Martin DLC and i don't have that one.
On other things completly diferent and not related to my previous comment, from 1 to 10 how commited are you to the proposed schedule? hahaha...

 

[Rob]

On other things completly diferent and not related to my previous comment, from 1 to 10 how commited are you to the proposed schedule? hahaha...

lol. OK, Aston Martin it is then. Sorry...there have been a about a gazillion. Some better than others, but we are desperate for ovals.

The schedule mimics the actual races that are run by IndyCar, except we do not have any working ovals, so we have to improvise there. The real life tracks are non-negotiable because that's that whole point, but there are many that are not on this year's schedule. The Coyote Noose is in there because that's the only oval we have. Nurbrg Mullenbach is in there because it's the only "Roval" we have and feels like a sort of hybrid Iowa to drive.

However, SMS has proven so unreliable regarding past promises that I have no idea whether both Indy tracks will be incorporated. If they are not, then we would need to vote on a couple of tracks. Fosters Oulton is the only other track that is anywhere close to a closed loop. If I knew Indianapolis was not going to be released, I'd scrap the whole series, as IndyCar just isn't IndyCar w/o ovals.

However, whenever I get the new league section from staff, I'll post a poll. The two Indy tracks, the GP and the IMS Oval, will be up for a vote...not to overturn them, but to have two backups ready should they not appear as DLC. Also, Laguna will be offered up as replaceable, but I don't think that would be a popular decision w/o a vote.

The 2014 RACEDEPARTMENT INDYCAR Series Championship
(as licensed by Project Cars)
_________________________________________
Director - Peter Hooper
Director - Robert Waddell
Chief Steward - Eric Cline​

Organized around one of the oldest existing purpose-built automobile racing circuits in the world, the INDYCAR Championship has been the home of the most grueling, most dangerous tracks in the world, including many high speed ovals. Names such as Mario Andretti, Jack Brabham, Jim Clark, Emerson Fittipaldi, A.J. Foyt, Chip Ganassi, Harry Gant, Dan Gurney. Graham Hill, Arie Luyendyk, Rick Mears, Bobby Rahal, Johnny Rutherford, Jackie Stewart, Al Unser, Jr., Henry Ford, and Roger Penske all sit forever in the I.M.S. Hall of Fame. INDYCAR has also been a pioneer, during the modern era, by encouraging women and minorities to race. Janet Guthrie, in 1976, not only raced the Indy 500, but finished ahead of Dale Earnhardt, Sr. that same year at Daytona. Willy T. Ribbs broke the color barrier at Indy in 1991. To this day, diversity and fair competition remain the touchstones in IndyCar, with ten different drivers winning in 2014.

The car is the 2014 DW12 named after the late Dan Wheldon, a beloved driver who lost his life at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2011. The DW12 was a true innovation, which slashed costs some 40% from the previous car, while maintaining the latest technology, including a “safety cell” that was sold by IndyCar and “aero packages” (developed by engine suppliers in 2015) that were fully customizable, fully tethered, variable per track, and entirely malleable by the teams, within limits. Honda and Chevrolet supplied the V6 Turbo engines, which produce a maximum of 700bhp, 300ft.lbs. of torque, and 12,000RPMs, with a dry weight total of 1,575lbs. Dallara was enticed to build a factory in Indianapolis and be the main chassis supplier, also reducing costs significantly. Dallara (which makes the chassis for the Haas F1 Team), chassis refinements, aero innovation and team tailoring led to the cars of 2016, which produce more downforce than a Formula One car.

Fuel Capacity: Driver Choice
Setup: Driver Choice
Teams and Drivers - Drivers must not run the same number or livery unless unavoidable. First come, first served. Teams of two are permitted but no more than two.

Championship Points
The INDYCAR Championship will awards points* as follows: 1st 50, 2nd 40, 3rd 35, 4th 32, 5th 30, 6th 28, 7th 26, 8th 24, 9th 22, 10th 20, 11th 19, 12th 18, 13th 17, 14th 16,, 15th 15, 16th 14. (½ point for each race @ Mojave and Nurburg; Double Points for Indy 500)
* Pole position for each race except Mojave and Nurburg will earn two points.
Note: All drivers will have their worst result dropped after a maximum of six races have been entered. This is to allow one skip w/o consequence, and to promote flexibility.

Sporting Regulations
1. Assists: These will be set to "None" for this series, which means that Stability Control, ABS and Traction Control (tunable) are not active, since the cars in the INDYCAR Championship have no assists. These are identical to the "Real" settings also. No "Auto Shift" but paddle sifters are not considered an assist.

2. The grid will consist of those 16 drivers who sign up for the race in advance, unless they are not present at qualifying, in which case their position may be given to a reserve driver.

3. Fifteen minutes of testing shall proceed the qualifying period.

4. There will be a 15 minute qualifying session. Each driver should complete a minimum of 2 timed laps (not including Out and In laps) in the qualifying session in the car to be raced and in the session in order to qualify for selection and order of precedence. Should any driver fail to meet this criteria, the car may be permitted to start at the discretion of the Series Director at the back of the grid. There will be a 5 minute "warmup" session after qualifying to be used either as a bathroom break or to adjust your setup, or both.

5. Races will be approx. 45 minutes long and will require pit stops, unless the game is clearly and officially unable to perform pit stops in an acceptable manner (either through administrative testing or declared on the Project Cars website). Pit bugs are sometimes present, so ay driver who signs up assumes the risk of game malfunction.

5a. Restarts: There will be no restarts once the race begins ("warmup" before the race) and drivers are not permitted to rejoin by the game, unless the host is notified beforehand in ongoing cases. If you get disconnected before then, please inform the host immediately and you will be invited back. It is up to you to accept this on time to get in, if possible. If you cannot join and were disconnected prior to warmup, the race may be postponed or restarted so you can join. Otherwise, once warmup starts, the only exception to this rule is a mass disconnect (three or more at the same time) or a lag induced crash involving three or more drivers on the first lap, or a driver who is late due to unavoidable circumstances.

5b. Cautions. Unless the double yellow flags appear (“track blockage or extreme danger”) and announced by the Crew Chief (if used), the race will not stop. Upon appearance of the double yellow, cars will line up behind the leader (in order of position) and start on the first lap after the incident is cleared. The GAME will signal this to every driver, but it should also be announced over comms by all.

6. Auto-start of engine will be turned “ON” since the option to start your own engine is effectively eliminated because of the lack of assignable buttons. This may change during the season for any given series.

7. Drivers may feel that it is more advantageous to make a pit stop during a race, since less fuel load = better lap times and it provides fresher tires more often.

8. Refueling will be at the driver's discretion. There are no mandatory pit stops.

9. If a pit is needed, drivers should set the appropriate pit strategy options before the race and are encouraged make sure "Yes" appears next to desired strategy (preferably before entering the pits) and that the pit window is immediately closed after entering the pit as long as the correct pit strategy (you name) appears.

10. Starts will be rolling, with a parade lap preceding he rolling start. 70-80MPH is the formation lap speed and it is the responsibility of all cars to allow ample room for others (single file) until the final sector, where cars should line up two-by-two and be ready to start. The start may commence as soon as the lead car is in plain sight of the flag stand, but before that driver reaches the start/finish line. The lead driver shall announce the start upon or before acceleration by saying “green flag, green flag”. If the lead driver cannot do this, it falls to #2. All starts will be reviewed by the Series Directors for fairness. No car many “jump” the start and the lead driver must adhere to the above procedure for all starts.

11. All Qualifying Results, Grids, and Race Results are deemed provisional until all races are reviewed by the Stewards after the race, if necessary. The Chief Steward has the final decision as to whether or not a penalty (which may be appealed) should be applied to a driver. As such, drivers are encouraged to save and retain their own replays.

12. Tire wear will be set to "3X" so as to encourage some sort of strategy. Practice accordingly. Also, time of day will be 1pm to start the race and set to "5X" throughout the event, so as to encourage lighting change.

13. Each driver must use both hard and soft (red banded) tires for each race. As long as one lap is completed and timed (green flag racing laps), then the requirement is met. A driver caught not using both compounds will not receive points for the race in question and will receive a one race suspension for subsequent violations

COMMS: Please refrain from continuously giving play-by-pay on mic while in race, and test your mic sensitivity before the race so that it is not unreasonably loud (breathing, background noise, etc.) as compared to others. Whether your moves are heroic or tragic, please refrain from yelling, venting your frustration or venting against A.I. or, especially, other players. Everyone is trying to concentrate and needs to hear critical and necessary information in race and qualifying. This does not refer to lighthearted banter or the occasional descriptive moment, unless excessive.Verbal abuse, repeated swearing and argument with other drivers, whether founded or unfounded, to a fellow racer during a race will not be tolerated and may result in penalty, up to series ban.

Penalties and Appeals

All drivers should adhere to the standards of driving that are outlined below. In addition, the Racing Rules applicable to all racing series' on www.racedepartment.com apply here as well and are incorporated by reference:

ON-TRACK PROTOCOL​

1.1 PASSING. It is the responsibility of both the overtaking Driver and the Driver being overtaken to assure safe overtaking. Where two Cars are reasonably alongside (more than ½ a car length) each other, each must permit the other Racing room. A Car traveling alone may use the full width of the racetrack. Overtaking may be either right or left depending on prevailing conditions.

1.2 BLOCKING. Any Driver who moves in reaction more than once, altering their line based on the actions of pursuing Competitors, or who selects a defensive line and then returns to a racing line between corners or sections of the racetrack may be warned or penalized pursuant to the rules, and such decision shall be Conclusive.

1.3 INCIDENTS. Any Driver who is responsible for: an incident where a Car spins, or goes off-track, or suffers a flat tire or other mechanical difficulty requiring it to pit directly for repairs, or an incident of contact resulting in a change of position, may be warned or penalized pursuant to the rules, and such decision shall be Conclusive.

1.4 UNJUSTIFIABLE RISK. Any Competitor who engages in any behavior deemed to represent an unjustifiable risk or reckless endangerment may be warned or penalized, and such decision shall be Conclusive.

ADJUDICATION​

Any driver may request a review of ay incident involving himself and another driver(s) and shall not be discriminated against for doing so.

Penalties shall include, but not be limited to private or public reprimand, deduction of points, loss of grid position, if applicable, for the following race or any other race subsequent to the event in question, loss of all points for the race, loss of points in he overall standings, race suspension, and series ban. The last two cannot be imposed without progressive penalties being imposed in prior cases against the same driver. Teams will not be penalized directly.

Each incident for violation of the above, submitted via proper procedure (email or “start a conversation” on RD with the Chief Steward or Assistant Chief Steward, or Race Directors), shall be reviewed by the Directors and Stewards (unless one or more is involved, then review by only non-involved parties) and they will reach a penalty consensus. The Stewards and Directors may consult other series administrators or drivers during this process. Withing 48 hours of the end of the race in question, any grievance between two or more drivers may be brought to the Stewards as an inquiry by any driver(s) involved in the contact. Once a grievance is filed, it MUST remain private to all parties considering the outcome.

If it appears from the official video recordings or from any other additional evidence alone that there may have been a breach of driving standards or rules, on or off the track, in a manner the Directors consider to warranty further inquiry, either Director may request that the Chief Steward consider to investigate this matter further. The final decision shall be published in the Steward's Section and shall not disparage any driver, but simply announce the facts and the decision.

APPEAL​

All Appeals should be submitted to the Chief Steward by email or private RD message
Any penalized driver shall have a right to appeal the decision to the Stewards, (or one or both of the Series Directors if a Steward is involved in the disputed incident). The Chief Steward and Assistant Steward shall choose a regular driver (not a Director) not involved in the incident to form a three person tribunal. This body will either uphold the original penalty, vacate the original penalty, or issue a different allowable penalty. If there is no majority consensus between the three, then the least punitive decision shall apply. This decision is final.

1997 Ford Mustang Trans-Am
Trans-Am Series

Billed as the Trans American Sedan Championship, the Series held its first race March 25, 1966, at Sebring International Raceway in Florida. Future Formula One World Champion Jochen Rindt took the overall victory and Bob Tullius won the Over 2-Liter class. Other first-year notables included A.J. Foyt, Richard Petty, Jerry Titus and Belgium's Jacky Ickx and the others may have been the star attractions during the inaugural season, but the foundation was built with regulars like Horst Kwech and Gaston Andrey in Alfa Romeos, Tullius and Tony Adamowicz in Dodge Darts, and Bob Johnson in a Plymouth Barracuda.
The 1997 season will be remembered as the year Tommy Kendall awoke to find all of his dreams had come true. Here nearly swept the Series in his 1997 Ford Mustang Trans-Am, scoring 11 consecutive victories en route to his then record fourth and third-straight championship. Kendall's remarkable winning streak set records in the Trans Am Series, SCCA Pro Racing and "major series" road racing worldwide.


2013 Mercedes-Benz DTM
DTM

The 2013 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season was the fourteenth season of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, since the series' resumption in 2000. Bruno Spengler started the season as the defending drivers' champion. BMW was the defending manufacturers' champion. Mike Rockenfeller clinched his first DTM title at the penultimate round of the season at Zandvoort.
The DTM AMG Mercedes C-Coupé was designed to meet the new and improved safety concept for 2012, which includes a state-of-the-art carbon fibre monocoque and a roll cage made of high strength steel. In order to improve driver protection in the event of an accident, all safety-related components such as the fire extinguishing system and fuel tank have been incorporated into the monocoque. Carbon fibre crash structures are designed to gradually absorb impact energy, so that the driver is not exposed to high deceleration forces.


2009 Megane Trophy V8
Eurocup Trophy Megane

The Renault Sport Megane Trophy is a race version of the street vehicle, which includes a tube frame chassis with glass fibre body keeping just visual resemblance to the usual mass-production Mégane. The RS Trophy uses the considerably modified Renault V4Y 3.5-litre V6 engine rated 330 PS (243 kW; 325 bhp) at 7000 rpm and 390 N·m (290 lb·ft) at 4500 rpm. The engine together with Sadev 6-speed sequential is placed longitudinally behind the cockpit.
The Renault Sport Mégane Trophy is not road legal and was sold for a price of €120,000. It was intended to be used for competition only in the Renault EuroCup, but cars also race in events like the Belgian Touring Car Series.


2013 Ford Falcon V8 Supercar
V8 Supercar Series

The 2013 International V8 Supercars Championship was an international motor racing series that was based in Australia. It was the fifteenth running of the V8 Supercar Championship Series and the seventeenth series in which V8 Supercars contested the premier Australian touring car title. The championship was contested over thirty-six races. The series' calendar also expanded, traveling to the United States for the first time for a race at COTA. The 2013 season saw the introduction of the "New" V8 Car, a revision to the regulations which were designed to cut costs and to make the series more attractive to new manufacturers.


2012 BMW 300TC WTCC
World Touring Car Championship

The BMW 320 TC is the further development of the BMW 320si WTCC, with which Andy Priaulx won the World Touring Car Championship for BMW in 2006 and 2007. Well over 60 models have been delivered to date by BMW Motorsport Distribution. The new BMW 320 TC, which from 2011 can be used in series in accordance with the new FIA Super 2000 regulations, is driven by a 1.6 litre, DI-turbo, four-cylinder engine. The six-speed, seq. gearbox, which can be used to configure the circuit-specific transmission ratio, is also a new feature.
The car won five races in the WTCC. Its first victory was achieved in Germany, 2011. The second victory came at the 2011 race in Japan, and the third win at the 2012 Hungary race. The fourth and fifth victories came in 2012 races of Austria and Japan.


1973 BMW 2002 StanceWorks
Historic Touring Series

It's no surprise as to why the 2002 and its siblings are one of the most iconic cars BMW has ever built - and furthermore, one of the most iconic cars of the '60s and '70s. The 2002 can in many ways take the credit - all of it - for what BMW grew to become through the '70s, '80s, and '90s. But the 2002 did more than just inspire the 3-series lineage and generations of cars to come: the 2002 has inspired generations of people. From those who were there to see the car in its first few moments, to those who are just now seeing one for the first time, it's hard to deny that there's something enamoring about the quaintly cute coupe.


1997 McLaren F1 GTR "Longtail"
FIA GT Championship

With the reformed FIA GT Championship in 1997, rules regarding the cars used in the premier GT1 class were altered. McLaren was forced to give the F1 extensive modification in order to be able to compete against cars which had been meant as race cars first, and not road cars like the F1.
First and foremost, the F1 required extensive modification to its bodywork in order to gain as much aerodynamic downforce as possible. Although it retained the same carbon fibre monocoque as the road car, the entire exterior of the car was purpose built. A much longer nose and tail, as well as a wider rear wing, were designed in order to maximize the amount of aerodynamic downforce, while the wheel arches were widened in order to allow for the maximum amount of grip from the tyres allowed by the rules.
The engine also saw extensive modification, with a stroke reduction bringing the BMW S70 V12 down to 5,990 cubic centimetres (366 cu in) in an attempt to prolong the life of the engines, while still maintaining the air restrictor-controlled 600 brake horsepower (447 kW).
