Hello all,

We'll be stepping up the PP but removing the aero for the "Berlin's Most Wanted" Series!
Image

Car Restrictions
BMW Concept 1 Series tii '07
http://www.mygranturismo.net/car_sheet.php?id=81

Tuning Restrictions:
-All mods and upgraded permitted

Tire Restrctions:
-Any SPORTS tire (Hard/Medium/Soft)
-Top 3 competitors in the points must start the race on MEDIUM tires


Event Settings:
-Grid Start with False Start Check
-Grid Order: Fastest First
-Visible Damage: OFF
-Penalty: None
-Race Finish Delay: 180 Seconds
-Mechanical Damage: HEAVY
-Slipstream Strength: Low
-Tire Wear / Fuel Consumption: On
-Grip Reduction on Wet Track / Track Edge: Real
-No ASM
-No Skid Recovery Force

PLEASE NOTE
Damage will be set to HEAVY, meaning if you take damage you will need to PIT to repair it.
Visible Damage will also be set to ON

Red Flag procedure
-When the person rejoins the room the current time index & lap # will be taken.
-No passing is to occur and all cars are to proceed to the front straight but behind the start/finish line.
-In current order, cars will pass the start/finish line to see if any cars are 1 lap behind the leader or more.
-Car order and laps down will be noted for the restart.
-The car that dropped will be placed behind the last place car. (Call this mechanical difficulties).
-The time index or lap count taken will be used to calculate the remaining time/laps of the race.
-Laps maybe added to the remain laps to allow for the lead cars to "relap" the lapped cars.
-The race will be restarted, however the first lap(s) will be used to get the cars into proper order and laps down if needed.
-Once any lapped cars have been "relapped" the first place car will lead as a "pace car" for 1 lap. No cars may change positions until after crossing the start/finish when the race condition is again green.


Point structure for the Berlin's Most Wanted Championship:

1st 50
2nd 45
3rd 41
4th 38
5th 36
6th 34
7th 32
8th 30
9th 28
10th 26
11th 24
12th 22
13th 20
14th 18
15th 16
16th 14

-The series will be contested over 8 races and your worst 2 results will be dropped when calculating final results.

Bluetooth Headsets Strongly Recommended!
I can't stress that enough! Any Bluetooth headset will work, just make sure to pair it with your PS3. Futureshop has a good selection as well.

Sweet, I like driving the little Beemer. Been quite a while though, I think the last time I had it out was when there was all that hype over the 1M release.

Can you change the racetracks? There are a lot of other racetracks in the game that are great, we don't have to pick always the same ones. Trial Mountain, Grand Valley, Autumn Ring, Dayton 200, Tsukuba, Special Stage Route, Eigen Norward

We already raced on Laguna and Suzuka, and we will race on Spa, and I hate Fuji Speedway what an awful waste of space that track is whoever design the last corner should be shot and then shot again.

Just to troll a little bit more, shouldn't it be Bavaria's Most Wanted? Berlin is 588 kilometers away from where these cars were manufactured.

I debated that.... however with the autobahn they easily got to Berlin in under 3hrs and started causing havoc! 8)

That I will agree with! As long as you don't say 'same difference'. Bavarians are a very proud people, and go to lengths to not consider themselves Germans :lol:

Sadly, I was just sent on a mission to annoy from the iRacing camp.

That said, if I had GT5, it looks like a fun series!

I'm going to be missing the first practice, and likely the first race night of this series, but I'll post my car anyway, Matte Black car, Lime Green wheels.

I second that, this car needs racing tires. I played with the suspension settings but this car is just not nice to drive.

I did agree, but after spending a BUNCH of time tuning, I was able to get the car pretty decent. That being said, I would 100% support racing hards on this car for the series. No sense in burning out a bunch of people who want to race with us by running 2 rather difficult to tune cars in a row, running on race hards would give a bit back to the driver and some away from set-up.

Sounds like a few people maybe late.
We will start tonight at 8:30

I'm re-evaluating the tires right now to see if RACING HARD are required or if SPORTS SOFT will do.
