Summer of 86's

This series will start on the 16th of December 2016. The lobby will open at approx. 7:45pm Victorian time with racing to start at 8:00pm (Victorian Time)

Cars
For this series we will be returning to single build cars. These are to be Toyota GT 86 using my B600 tune which I have shared.



Driver Groups
Drivers will be placed into their groups based on an assessment of their results in previous series and will be announced at least a week before the series start*. If you disagree about which group you are in, you are free to request a switch to the other group. Also note that people out driving their respective groups may be changed to a higher group starting on the next week.


Handicapping will be as follows;
Top 4 drivers
-10% Power, 15 second delay

Next 4 drivers;
-%5 power, 10 second delay

Bottom 4 drivers;
Full power, no delay

Everyone else;
full power, 5 second delay

Points
Points will be;
1st = 30pt
2nd = 25pt
3rd = 22pt
4th = 20pt
5th = 18pt
6th = 17pt
7th = 16pt

and so on.

Drop outs and DNFs will receive points based on how close they came to finishing. for example if someone dropped out on lap 7 they would receive more points than someone that dropped out on lap 3 regardless of their position when they dropped out.

If a serious attempt was made to join the lobby, but due to XBOX or ISP issues was unable to actually race, they will receive 5 points or 3 places lower than last place awarded on the night, whichever is lower.


Paints
The only decal layers that are required are that you have your racing number at least 1/3 the height of your front doors, and your car to contain at least 3 colours other than your number.

At the end of each round a "Now for something completely different" race will be held, with the track to be chosen by the previous weeks driver that came last in race 1, and the car/s chosen by the driver that came last in race 2. This race will not be counted towards the championship, and is purely for fun.
