[PC] Grand American Muscle Series - Season 3

GRAND AMERICAN MUSCLE SERIES SEASON 3

"Following hot on the heels of the financial collapse of the automotive industry due to a massive resurgence in theft of high end sports cars and exotic super cars, ATOMIC TIRE AND RUBBER PRODUCTS has issued a press release announcing the much anticipated third season of the Grand American Muscle Series. Drivers are expected to flood the signups due to the reduced entry cost, as most of the vehicles used in the event have been well past their prime and are ready for the scrapyard. The season is scheduled to begin on the first Monday of February, with starting grid formation beginning at 8:30pm UTC."



Event Information and Rules

Conduct & General Rules : See nodo.freeforums.net/thread/3455/nodo-racing-guidelines for general purpose rules concerns. Track boundaries are fully open to whatever is able to be accomplished within each chosen track. Off road, on road, so long as you are not causing accidents with other racers, any line is a valid line (ovivo lines and pyro lines encouraged). Unless otherwise called out below, the NoDo guidelines will be enforced.

Blue Flags : You are allowed to defend your position from any approaching vehicle, even if it is a driver that is coming up to lap you. You must still adhere to the general NoDo racing guidlines while defending, but you do NOT have to move out of the way to give space to lapping traffic. This encourages battling with people you might not get to battle with due to pace differences, and will play a major part in team strategy throughout the series. This includes battling with cars that are not in your class.

Event Dates : Mondays - Feb 6, Feb 13, Feb 20, Feb 27, March 6, March 13

Event Start & Duration : 8:30pm UTC - Each raceday will last no more than 2 hours. Please try to be on early for lobby invites, we will be starting at the scheduled times regardless of everyone being online or not.

Maximum Entrants : Super Street (00/14) / Grand-Am (00/14) - A secondary event may be scheduled if interest proves greater than anticipated.

Time / Weather : Current for both unless otherwise noted with race day description.

Pit Stops : Each driver is required to stop their car inside or near the entrance to the pit lane or other designated area, get out of their car, fire three shots from the basic Pistol weapon (one shot in each headlight and one shot into the grill), re-enter their car, and then continue through the pitlane to collect a wrench or respawn at the pit lane checkpoint. Drivers may take one pit stop per lap maximum. Two Track Racedays - Pit stops will be done in a Split Style, where each driver will have a certain number of pit stops to be made during any race over the course of the day. One Track Racedays - Pit stops will be done in a Team Style, where each team may divide up the pit stops to either driver however they wish.

Car Restrictions : Teams decide on which class they will be driving in: Super Street or Grand-Am. Drivers may then choose one of the cars within that class to race for the series. Teammates may pick different cars, but must stay within the same class. Cars are limited on the field up to a maximum of 5 for each.

Upgrades & Visuals : All other upgrades and visuals may be used at each driver's discresion. Special note for Faction Custom drivers - non-stock livery is subject to event host approval.

Teams & Sponsors : Drivers form teams of 2, and must have a sponsor from the list of major businesses within the GTA Universe ( Businesses in GTA ). Alternatively, if a sponsor exists ( The Pit Lane ), feel free to use that. If your sponsor is a vehicle manufacturer, both of the drivers must use cars made by that manufacturer (Vapid, Imponte, Invetero, DeClasse, Willard, Albany).

Team Colors : Primary colors cannot be shared between teams within the same class, and must be unique enough to tell the teams apart at a glance. Once chosen, the colors may NOT be changed during the season.

Team Car Choice : Drivers are not required to have matching cars for both members of the team, they may choose whichever car they wish to drive. Car choice is locked in at 12am UTC of the first raceday for the whole of the series. Please check out the cars before deciding, as each has different driving styles required to get the most out of them. Contact bladecruiser if you need to borrow a car to drive around for a bit.

Class and Team Scoring : Overall Points are awarded per race, and go towards both class and team championship standings. 3 bonus points are awarded to the winner of each class for each race, except for the final race of the season (no bonus points will be awarded for this race). Screenshots will be taken of final positions both in-race and on the results screen. If anyone is showing as in a different position to what you finished, send screenshots or video to bladecruiser .

Mini-Championship Scoring : Additional "Mini Championship Points" will be awarded at the end of each race.

Starting Procedure & Grid : Each race will be started with a formation lap and a rolling start, with the drivers being released once the first car of each class passes the start/finish gate (or checkpoint, if there is no gate prop or the gate is in a bad position for a rolling start). The first day's first starting grid will be randomized, and each race after that will use a reverse grid of the previous race's finish positions.

Event Days & Tracks : The following list of tracks will be used once each over the duration of the event. Three days of the event will feature one track and last for approximately 1.5 hours as an endurance race on that single track. The other three days will feature a pair of tracks with a race time of 35 to 40 minutes on each with a 10 to 15 minute break between races.
