ps4 Pfister Supercup (Squirrel)

[Skorpion 2,527]

Event Title: Pfister Supercup (Squirrel)
Event Author: Skorpion
Calendar: Public Events Calendar

 

Event Host: Squirrel
Game: GTA Online
Event Start Date: 15th May 2017
Event Start Time: Monday, 9:00pm GMT/UTC
(Monday, 5:00pm EDT / Monday, 10:00pm BDT / Tuesday, 7:00am AEST)
Reoccurring: Fortnightly
Special Rules: Contact Endurance Racing, No Shooting in GTA, Slipstream ON. 

 

What it is:

A bi-weekly endurance race based on real world tracks mirroring the real life Porsche Supercup. http://www.porsche.com/international/motorsportandevents/motorsport/customerracing/porschecups/pmsc/

When it is:

It will be held Monday evenings on alternate weeks to my Monday Madness event, it will also fall on the Monday where there's isn't a Sunday Racing League event the day before. 

How does it work:

The event will consist of a 3 lap non contact qualifying session followed by a contact race of approximately 30 minutes in length. If possible I will try get duplicate tracks made so a small 2 track playlist can be made, if not possible I will host the qualifying session and then the race separately.  

The order for the feature race start will be determined by the finishing order of the qualifying race. The race itself will be run over a distance of approximately 70km. In each case this distance is converted into a certain number of laps for the classification round(s) and indicated for each event in the Supplementary Event Regulations.

The race will have a warm up lap not included in the total race distance where the cars can get into their qualifying position followed by a rolling start for lap two. Pole sitter must maintain a reasonable speed on the warm up lap to allow for the pack to form behind them, full racing speed can start on the final turn of lap 1 but no overtaking until you have crossed the start line. 

Point Scoring:

Position	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	11th	12th	13th	14th	15th	Pole
Points	20	18	16	14	12	10	9	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1	2

What car:

It will be a single make series, all cars must be the Comet Retro Custom. There are a wide variety of body styling and liveries available. http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Comet_Retro_Custom  Failure to pick the right car means DSQ for that race.

Racing Rules:(Section still under construction and will be refined)

Rules are the necessary evil needed to make sure things run smoothly on the night. Everything discussed in the thread will make an appearance in this post so we have an easy reference point for clarity

• Contact between other racers.
  • This championship will feature larger grids than we are currently used to, contact between cars will happen although we will do our best to avoid it. For most collisions it is fairly clear who is at fault.
  • If you take someone out, please move off the racing line, reduce speed and wait for them to regain position, do not resume full racing speed until they have overtaken you. In the preview event most of the bigger accidents were caused by people colliding with someone and then in the confusion to give places back more collisions happened. It is better to keep moving and clear the track as quickly as possible.
  • If you are spun and end up at a complete standstill on the apex of a corner with a large group of drivers approaching it will be better to hold position until it is safe to do so. Those drivers will be reacting to your stationary car, if you start moving too soon this can also result in further collisions.
  • I know both of the previous points seem to contradict each other. You will have to use your own judgement at the time to take the appropriate action. Clear the scene of the accident if it's safe to do so, hold your position if not.
  • These will be long races. What happens on the opening couple of laps shouldn't dictate the final finishing positions, take it steady and drive cautiously especially for the early stages while the field is bunched.
• Kerb Boosting
  • This is one of the biggest discussion points. Using the kerbs is unavoidable in racing. They form part of the racing line in the corners and make up 100% of the track sections.
  • Using the kerbs on the entrances and exits of corners is permitted. Actively seeking out the kerbs on straights to boost your car is not. The weaving down the kerbs on straights commonly seen in GTA racing is something that is definitely not acceptable in this championship and is actionable.
  • The cars should be trying to stay within the white lines as much as possible, keeping at least two wheels on the circuit. 
  • The Comet Retro is not a car which benefits a lot from kerb boosting, if anything it unsettles your car and can actually slow you down. I've followed cars which are boosting and caught them easily without using the kerbs to gain speed. 
  • If you are behind in the race, kerb boosting to catch back up is not acceptable either. 
  • Kerb boosting is something that will be reviewed by the stewards if needed.

• Catch-up and Slipstream
  • Both of these race features will be turned off. We experimented with them in the build up to the championship and found that the racing suffered as a result.
• Tyres
  • Most tyre types are allowed with the exception of Off-Road. This is a tarmac based championship, the different grip and suspension differences given by these tyres is an unknown quantity especially with the use of kerbs. They are also ugly when placed on track racing cars. I'd like everyone not to use these tyres. 
• Qualifying and Grid order
  • Qualifying will be a 4 lap non-contact race using the same circuit as the race.
  • The first lap will be used as a warm up for cars to find space on track, the following two laps will be at full race speed, these are the laps where you will need to post your qualifying time.
  • The final lap of the race is a slow down race. Only the race host will finish to start with, please wait on the track after your final lap while they make note of fastest lap achieved.
  • The host will let the field know when the times have been noted and everyone can finish the race. 
  • In the interim period between qualifying end and the race, the host assistant will launch a new race lobby and start inviting the racers to it. 
  • The qualifying order will be posted here.
  • At the start of the race which has been set to GTA and to the appropriate number of laps and time conditions. The racers will need to form up on the grid based on the qualifying times posted. 
  • A warning will go out a few seconds before the race start once the grid has been formed, the start will be triggered by the host setting off a sticky bomb. 
• Videos of races
  • I'd like as many of us to be recording footage as possible, this will give us material to refer to in the case of any on track issues that need resolving. 
  • You can change your footage settings to record at least 30 minutes of video. This should mean the full race distance can be captured.
  • Make note of what time the incident is on the video to save time when reviewing the video.
• Resolving of on track issues.
  • If you witness or have been involved in a racing incident that you feel needs further action, please let myself know within 12 hours of the race finish.
  • I will then declare the results as provisional subject to the panels decision
  • You can then send a link to the video which I'll refer to a stewarding panel made up of impartial people who will review the footage and appropriate action will be taken.
  • Actions can consist of warnings, finishing penalties or even exclusion from the race result and championship depending on the severity and repetition of the incident. 
  • Please don't accuse people in the race thread, if you have an issue you will need the video evidence to back it up. Leave these decisions to the stewards picked for that race. Conduct on the forum can also be referred to the stewards. 
  • The stewarding panel will be selected from people who aren't taking part in the championship. If you would like to be part of this panel please let me know.  

Further rules and clarifications will be added as required.

I'm bored at work, Googling famous Porsche liveries. I would love to do the Brumos or Rothmans but I don't know what's available in the game. 

Edited March 30, 2017 by Beez

[Fido_le_muet 5,198]

Mexico GP in progress.

Layout is done, it's fairly faithful except for the back part of the track with the succession of right/left turn before entering the stadium.

Now I need to add some decorum cause unfortunately it feels lifeless every real life track recreation

@Squirrel: Do we need a pitlane ? I can squeeze it easily after the finish line but if it's not mandatory I could use the props.

[Squirrel 5,180]

Not essential but if you have the props go for it. Having some life to the track is more important. I'd much rather see the stadium section than a pitlane

I have Catalunya ready for testing. Will have a thread set up for it soon.

The stadium is done. I have 50 props left I believe. Need to add some grandstands in some turns, a few billboards and trees, one or 2 gantries and the pitlane. Hopefully that shoud be enough.

[Squirrel 5,180]

That's plenty for decoration. Looking forward to trying it out. Think we'll need a Supercup track testing session soon. 

[no_snacks 3,345]

@Squirrel.  Is it ok if the real life tracks are not full size?  I can make Silverstone 1:1, but it feels dead and boring.  You can take every corner flat out with almost zero challenge, even using the stock Retro Comet from the creator.

Made a slightly smaller scale (about 3/4 size) one and it works heaps better and feels about right through all the iconic corners,  plus uses less props of course. 

[zmurko 7,622]

I'm a big fan of smaller scale recreations, perhaps even not totally in proportion, as long as the layout is identical/similar (all the corners and track sections are there) and most importantly, the "feel" and corner difficulty is about the same as on the real track. Just my 2 cents.

[Squirrel 5,180]

The feel of the track and good racing is what matters. A track like silverstone would potentially be run with slipstream. Could be worth checking how cars cope with that. My Catalunya is about 80% of real size so works well with the scaled down speed of GTA

[no_snacks 3,345]

Oh yeah, I agree, Z and Squirrel.  It's gotta "feel" right for sure.

Cool, that's good to know.  I'll get back to it then. 

BTW.  Lap times in the stock Retro Comet is about 5 seconds quicker than an F1 cars time, so it's in the ball park for semi-realistic lap. 

[Squirrel 5,180]

The track recreation project is progressing well. @adsyfindlay, @Fido_le_muet and @no_snacks answered the call and have 4 of the tracks needed either complete or under construction. Only Spa and the Hungaroring from the original list need making. 

This project is going so well that I'm considering switching Norisring and Albert Park for Sepang and Circuit of the Americas as the F1 circus will be racing on those tracks around that time of year. 

If anyone is interested in creating any of the outstanding circuits feel free to give them a go! 

[zmurko 7,622]

I'll take Hungaroring then. I've already managed to get a good map of the circuit including elevation changes along with a couple of videos (thank you Vettel  ) and a suitable location on the GTA map. Now it's just a matter of finding the best position and placing down the track pieces. Decorating and bulding some scenery/buildings should be just a fun task afterwards.

I'm kind of stuck on few of my projects in the creator, so this should hopefully be a nice and interesting challenge.

 

[djw180 6,977]

Here's my car

[Protocawl 2,971]

I'd like to try to recreate Spa (next weekend... hopefully), but might not be able to finish it in time, no clue how long it might take/how challenging it might be. Will know better on the coming Friday.

 

And would love to participate in the series myself, starting June, so you can sign me up.

I have had an idea to sort the teams out, there are 10 different livery options, which means we can pick the teams via our car sponsors.

With multiple players per team, only the top 2 will score, teams will be either a maximum of 3 or 4 players depending on the demand for a sponsor.

First come first serve so if you want a certain sponsor it's time to claim it! 

The available teams are listed in this post:

Preference :

1. No livery 

2. Globe oil or wiwang 

 

Looking forward to this!
