I know we are all excited for this release. What I don't know is how many people intend to a) play it on the xbox one and b) would like to join some sort of a formal league here at Race Department.

There are so many possibilities, I've had to calm myself down from getting lost in them. However, my main passion, IndyCar, will probably not be able to be run until the DLC with the ovals comes to the Xbox One.

That said, what sort of series would you like to see? Personally, ones that come to mind are Tudor United Sports Car Series, WEC, British Touring Car, and DTM. One of these could fill the gap for me until IndyCar is possible, but others may have better ideas.

Please indicate below if you are interested and what sort of times you are available and which series' you prefer. We could follow the actual schedule of many a series, due to the timing of the release. Personally, if they get the ovals out before IndyCar starts, I'll probably turn my focus there, but nothing would prevent running another alongside.

The anticipation is killing me! :sick:

Hey Toast I am in when I can make it. I good for the 30th.I definitely would like to see the car changed though. Wouldn't mind seeing an old school car like the older IMSA cars or the Historic cars. Also shorter track lengths

I have a one race idea Toast. We run Mojave Coyote Noose with the Ford Fusion. We would need to figure out how many laps the fusion can run until empty due to no pits. We then make the race 3 to 5 laps shorter so that we know we would be able to finish the race. Run a 20 min practice, 10 min qualifying then a 10 min warm up followed by the race. Would be interesting to run one oval being that the RS.01 league is strictly for fun.

What about keeping with GT cars and have the support series be GT4? Also wouldn't mind the DTM idea since for those of us who don't have much DLC there's already a DTM car in the form I of the Audi. Just my 2¢.
what do you mean AC? DTM audi, what are you referring too? I thought the only modern DTM was the merc...

and my own lmp3 prototype selection ( I like it lol, so will you. Trust me here its very fun...)

Suggestions have been taken into account for open TBD races on schedule (excluding crossovers with Robert's new league). If the poll decides no default setup we will have to axe cayote noose spiff :( but you could suggest fusion somewhere else and I'll see if I can sneak it in there...
Expect a full car/track combo schedule in the next few days with some of the good ideas presented in this thread.

-There are no teams in this series, all team entries will be registered single privateer.
-All sign ups are in the same racing class as an individual entry (pro/am are irrelevant unlike the main WEC series)
- There will be one championship trophy awarded for the RS01 cup (6 races) and one also for the overall support series championship (all races).

the points system is as follows for every support series race:

1st: 50 points
2nd:45 points
3rd: 40 points
4th: 36 points
5th: 32 points
6th: 28 points
7th: 26 points
8th: 24 points
9th: 22 points
10th:20 points
11th:18 points
12th:16 points
13th:14 points
14th:12 points
15th:10 points
Bonus Points: 1 Point Pole Award, 1 Point Fastest Lap*(except a few exempt rounds).

the driver with the most combined points from all races at the end of the season wins the overall support championship.Random support races may be added based on WEC schedule changes, leaving the overall support championship undecided until the season's conclusion.
The driver with the most combined points in the RS01 after 6 rounds wins the RS01 cup.

As many of you will no we have decided to open up free car choice for everyone this is because a few people (myself included) felt the random draw had held them back and took some fun away from the racing.

So you can use which ever car you want to

After you have chosen that's it no more changes

You will however receive a 10 point penalty on your racing licence (penalty points are on the standings page)

You will not be able to qualify for both races at zolder!

Below I will list the teams and the changes made please when choosing your car please take into account the CAR NUMBER so that it doesn't clash with one chosen below


Thanks we regret these changes but in the interests of the league we felt them vital

No more excuse can now be made so let's race
