RD GT Championship 2010 I

[Austin Jordan]

yeah idk about that one, i raced several classes there and it's very hard i think to control. maybe do it at singapore or someone make sao paulo and we race there for the first time like indy car and f1.

 

[Austin Jordan]

another good idea to do is if we go by the gt1 schedule, we can do expidition race for the league at le mans since that's where most of the gt drivers are going in june.

also a great track! oh well, we just have to wait and see what the final format will be, im sure it will be exciting

 

[Michael Herrmann]

the HTTT PaulRicard should be legal we used that already here at RD there is an other one with the '70 layout thats not legal

yep, the HTTT PR track is legal, otherwise it won't be used here

some more trackideas/wishes/dreams :

- Laguna Seca or Road America (both nice tracks, suited well of GT racing and good versions available as default track in Race On)

 

[Michael Herrmann]

Road America would be realy nice to have specialy as the race on tracks are not that much used and if i am right there is also a Interlagos track out for Race
anyway not sure if its legal

 

[Austin Jordan]

it's legal. Rdngp raced there in round two of there series and was round one for the fpws so it is legal.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Interlagos is not legal, its a GP4 track.

 

[Michael Herrmann]

thanks Bram was not sure about

Game(s) Required: GTR Evolution by SimBin
Current Number of Divisions: 2: RD GT1 World Championship, RD C5R Championship.

Introduction

With the summer almost near its time to fill in the gap between two RDTCC seasons. The GT Pro cars will be cleaned from their dust to revive the highly popular RDGTC league from 2008/2009.

This league will be on invitational basis only! Everybody who is interested can apply for a space but we decide who will eventually drive based on a few criteria:
- driving standards
- commitment
- participation in previous RD leagues

This means that some people will be disappointed but that is unfortunately the downside of this system. We might open up a second server for a second group that will be the feeder series for the next seasons.

24 available cars

1. Aston Martin DBR9
2. Aston Martin DBR9
3. Aston Martin DBR9
4. Audi R8 GT Concept
5. Audi R8 GT Concept
6. Audi R8 GT Concept
7. Corvette C6 R
8. Corvette C6 R
9. Corvette C6 R
10. Dodge Viper GTS/R
11. Dodge Viper GTS/R
12. Dodge Viper GTS/R
13. Gumpert Apollo GT
14. Gumpert Apollo GT
15. Gumpert Apollo GT
16. Koenigsegg CCGT
17. Koenigsegg CCGT
18. Koenigsegg CCGT
19. Lister Storm
20. Lister Storm
21. Lister Storm
22. Saleen S7-R
23. Saleen S7-R
24. Saleen S7-R

Calendar

There will be more seasons in one calendar year. All feature a four, five or six race weekend championship on five or six sunday nights in a row.

Season 2 Track List:

Round 1: Brno 07 (Sunday May 23, 2010)
Round 2: Spa-Francorchamps (Sunday May 30, 2010)
Round 3: Nürburgring GP (Sunday June 27, 2010)
Round 4: Circuito Algarve (Sunday July 4, 2010)

Session Info

Practice: On race day the servers will be open all day to practice
Super Pole Qualification: 18.15 GMT (10 minutes)
Warm-up: 18:25 GMT (15 minutes)
Race: 18:40 GMT (Formation Lap + 60 minute race + forced pit stop with a minimum of two tires changed)

Cockpit view

RDGTC S2 will be a forced cockpit view league. No other views can be selected in the game. After S2 we will review the experiences with the league drivers.

Independents and Constructors

RDGTC is an individual championship, however constructor points are also ranked in a championship. All 24 cars will need to be selected to form a balanced 8x3 cars grid

RD C5 R Championship (feeder serie)
A second group of drivers will form the Corvette C5 R Feeder Serie. The winner of each round of the feeder serie will be invited to drive as a guest in the next group 1 race! Eventually the best drivers from the feeder serie will be invited for RDGTC Season 3.

The feeder serie will be a single make championship driven with the Corvette C5 R .

Liveries

Everybody can drive in their own livery. However for this league it is not mandatory to have a skin.

Livery deadline: Friday May 21, 2010

Absense

This is the most important part of the league briefing you need to understand! If you are allowed to drive the in league we expect you to be present during all races of the season. If you happen to miss out on an event and go missing in action afterwards without giving any notice the race staff reserve the rights to terminate your licensed member status on RaceDeparment.

Incidents

It may happen that rules get violated. In such cases it is up to the drivers to report the violation. The staff encourages this and will only investigate incidents that are reported by drivers.

No report = no investigation = no penalty

A report can be sent to the staff by private message. It must always contain:

• Name of the league: RDGTC S2
• The name of the reported driver (the violator)
• A link to a youtube or vimeo movie that shows the incident in various angles
• A short description of the incident, without rant.

You must always send the report with your own forum account. You can only send a report if you were actually in the race. Report from outsider will be not be considered.
After sending the staff will then investigate the incident. Incomplete reports will not be considered.

Reports must be sent within 24 hours of the finish of the race. Reports that come in too late might not be considered.

General League Rules

All the general league rules are written down in a document for the 2010 league season. Click here to read it!

 

[Peter Duivelaar]

I was wondering what dates the races are? In the format I only see it is on sunday but not which sunday.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Undecided, therefore a provisional format

It will be held after the RDTCC season finishes in a few weeks.

 

[Caramidaru Andrei Bogdan]

i want in

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

Gonna be a high quality league again and i like that all cars are making their presence in this league!

Its gonna be tough to get a spot in this league (haven't got my hopes up high, cause i expect about double or triple signups then spots ) If i won't be picked i have my hopes up for the eventual feeder series (GT sport/club-ish?) or RC event in the shadow of the league.

Lets wait and see how this will unfold

 

[Wayne Reed]

i would like to be in this allways liked the gt cars had some awsome racing in these

 

[Wayne Reed]

they that would be cool. Monaco would be pretty fun.

Yeah i think there is only 1 street track out there that will work well with these cars is long beach it so cool

 

[Chris Sykes]

this looks like it's going to be a great league I'm up for this

 

[Austin Jordan]

idk bram about how you pick drivers because i tried to go in the rdtcc and you said i had to have raced in a couple races to be in the rankings so that could effect if i go in or not. The reason i don't race as much is because i'm not always able to race like what day it is and what time. I'm in the nations gp so that will be one league and i might race the stc season finale because it the only on i can run. How many leagues do i have to compete in to be allowed in?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

All signups will be reviewed by the RD staff and those that have a bad record will be refused:
- people signing out constantly
- people that have a history of quitting leagues or not show up
- people that have done hardly any racing
- people that DNF more than they finish
- etc

Those people should not sign up as this league is not for them. I fear that more and more we have to go to such exclusivity solutions to reward committed drivers and those that don't not.

But to answer your question: i think that there are many people before you on the list that have a fantastic league record here at RD. So my tip stays the same: enter some club events first and build a track record. We don't care about speed but we do care about driving standards: how people behave on the track, is the most important thing.

Example: Eckhart von Glan who drives at RD already for a few years in leagues never won but is always present, friendly and committed and i cannot recall that ever one single complaint has been filed against him. Also he finishes every league he starts.

Such people can sign up and will 100% sure be in! So it has nothing to do with speed but more with maturity (can be of all ages)
