Massive thanks to Grumples_Plox (grimreaper977) for the logo and for the track maps, they look great.
Date: 14th July 2017 - 22nd September 2017 6:00 UTC
Vapid's latest racing machine the FMJ is the latest successor to the very prestigious Bullet. Built with extreme precision and detail the FMJ is considered to be one of the fastest cars in San Andreas. With vicious acceleration combined with relentless cornering speeds who will be able to tame this beast ? Based of the famous series the "Verizon Indycar Series" from the United States.
Vapid Motorsports and Atomic Tyres proudly present to you the first season of the Vapid IndyCar series. This event will be made up of 8 races which are spread widely across the stunning back drop of Los Santos. The event will feature 6 1hr long endurance races around some of the most challenging road courses Los Santos has to offer. With high speed sections and twisty slow speed turns these 6 races are going to be a true test on driver skill and car control and should provide many incredible battles. The event will also contain 2 oval races, which will both be 30 mins long. These high speed ovals will push your cars performance to the limit as you blast around fighting your rivals for the top spots. Who will master the gigantic challenge which lies ahead. Just remember, It is not always possible to be the best, but it is always possible to improve your own performance!
Points: The point system for this event will follow its real life counterpart, The Verizon IndyCar Series. These points will contribute to both road courses races and oval races.
White Cards: Participants are allowed to play 2 white cards each during the course of the season. The white cards can also be used for road course races and oval races. However, if a participant who plays the white card must play it before the next race, so you can only white card the previous race on the calendar. So for example if I want to white card my round 1 result and have to do it before race 2, if not then your round 1 result can not be white carded. But, if a driver has perfect attendance then they will have the lowest 2 scores automatically dropped from their total points, though if you do not have a perfect attendance over the full season and you fail to play your 2 white cards then your most recent score(s) will be dropped from your total. Note white cards will also affect the constructors championship as well as the drivers championship.
Pre-Lobby & Race Times: Pre-lobby will be started at 5:30 UTC and the race will start at 6 UTC. So can each participant please be on TeamSpeak for at latest 5:45 UCT. I will only be given a 10 minute tolerance for when the race is supposed to start, so the latest time the race will start will be 6:10 UTC. Each driver will be given at least 3 chances to join the pre-lobby, if they're not on for the race then they will miss the race. Also, if they're more than 3 DC's in the opening 3 laps the race will be restarted, any DC's after that won't count, unless we have a mass lobby split like in the MCEC. If this does occur the race laps will be shortened by however how many we accomplished before being split.
Vehicle: Vapid FMJ.
Exhibit A: pictured below is an in game example of the Vapid FMJ.
Exhibit B: Videoed below is a real life counter part of the Vapid FMJ, the Ford GT.
Pls don't actually drive like this or I will cry
Vehicle Modification: The vehicle modification restrictions for this event are that off-road wheels types are banned, any other tyre type is permitted as legal. Also, Atomic Tyres are the official tyre provider and sponsor for this event, so please run the custom tyre writing, this is not mandatory. Also, on any oval races the FMJ is required to have no spoiler, this is trying to mimic the the real life oval IndyCars, which have less downforce than the standard road course cars. This is so they can reach there incredible speeds of over 200+ MPH.
Start Procedure: Drivers will take part in a quick 1 lap warm up lap. Then they will line up in their designated starting position in staggered line, then after a time is called the sticky bombs will be exploded and the race will begin, this only applies to Road Course races. However, any oval races there will be a rolling start. Firstly, I will call out the grid and everyone will form a 2 wide grid. We will next begin a formation lap and the race will start when the lap counter hits lap 2. Any overtaking before the start line is banned and will result in a 5 place penalty.
Pit Stops: The pit stop procedure will follow endersai 's SAGTC rules of pitting but with a small twist. Drivers are to take 1 pit per 15 lap bloc. For example if the race was 20 laps, each driver would have to take 2 mandatory pit stops (laps 1-15 & 16 - 30). These pits must be taken 3 laps apart from each other. The pits will also be open on the second racing lap and will close on the last lap of the race, pitting on the first racing lap or the last lap will not count towards your mandatory pits. Participants are to call out their pits using teamspeak or type their pit number. Eg "xZenvohh: 1". Any driver who does not complete all mandatory pits in a race will receive a 30 second time penalty added to their total time. Any driver that doesn't complete more than 1 pit throughout a race will result in automatic disqualification from the race. For all road course pitstops drivers must come to a complete stop in the pit lane and respawn at a certain checkpoint, the checkpoint will be specified in the track limits post. Whereas for oval races, drivers are required just to drive through the pit lane. All drivers must take the slower lane, if any driver takes the faster lane then that pit stop will not count towards the mandatory total of stops.
Grid: The race starting order will be determined by FriendlyBaron 's grid calculator and posted before each individual race (Grids will be done after sign ups are full)
Vapid IndyCar Race Calendar:

Teams: All racers in this event are allowed to pick a team and use specific sponsors, which have to be pit lane approved and be shown in the GTA universe. It is also mandatory for all drivers to represent their chosen sponsor by running the team colours on their car.

Standard NoDo Community Guidelines apply for this event, please read this and make sure you are eligible to participate in the event.
Drivers are required to have done one of the following:
Attended the Weekday Playlist for 10+ days
Attended the Welcome Playlist for 2 days (over 2 weeks)
Participated in at least 1 Endurance Event without receiving any warnings.
;even if one of the previous criteria is met, by posting in this thread, you agree that the host reserves all right to refuse entry to the event.
Now for an explanation of this criteria:
These rules; stricter than most; are all for the sake of the event. The FMJ is arguably the quickest car in the game. So please be careful when racing as this car is difficult to master for some people. If there is 1 car on the grid that has significantly less control of their car than the rest of the grid, then that (in an extreme case) can lead to drastically changing the outcome of a race or even the championship. But I say with full confidence, this is not an audition of driver speed. This is a judge of car control and your racing attitude towards your fellow drivers. Please do not be offended if you are refused, as everything is in an effort to try and improve the quality of the event.
Thanks Just Hero for allowing me to use this criteria.
