There is a series about to start. Just tweeking the builds right now but aiming to start in a couple of weeks.
There is a choice of 6 cars and builds will be posted. It will be a short series as we have another 6 cars for another short series already being built and tested.
Aim of the series is to provide a "real world" feel for this championship, while giving a degree of challenge to drivers of all abilities. The car is RWD and tuned with just short of 400 BHP so there will be the challenge of keeping the tail in check, however it isnt TOO powerful so that this isnt achievable! These cars are capable of 180 or so MPH so arent slow, hopefully this will lead to some close racing throughout the field.
Race Meetings
1.1 Each race will comprise of 2 parts. The 1st will be a Qualifying session of 10-15 mins, dependent on track length. This will be a timed session to establish a grid order based on fastest lap time.Qua;ifying will be run in ghost mode so there can be no blocking or other impediment to running your best time.The main even will have the field starting in Grid order, fastest 1st. The main race will be around 40 mins long, sufficent time to do 15 laps or so on each track. There will be a roll off period of 1sec between each car to protect your hard earned grid position from 1st corner mayhem!!It is anticipated that Grand Prix type tracks will be used like full Hockemheim, Indy, Suzuka etc
1.2 Points will be awarded to thetop 8 finishers in a 10/8/6/5/4/3/2/1 pattern. There is also 2 points for pole position and conidering 1 for fastest lap also.
1.3 Simulation Damage will be enabled.
1.4 Caution System to be used. When caution is called the car that was hit will be allowed to reclaim its rightful position, however if the instigator of the accident has lost places as a result of the accident, they will NOT be allowed to reclaim there place. Restart from a caution will be at discretion of room host and will take place at the next available straight section and only when all cars are in correct positions and running together. As with all 2O4F series, this is a non contact series and normal racing etiquette will be expected, such as no corner cutting, blocking by weaving etc, racing line is not considered blocking in this instance. All passing and or lapping manoeuvres should be called by the passer in the usual manner.
1.5 There is no mandatory pitstops required, although pitstops are of course permissable to repair damage if so needed.
1.6 No Handicap system will be imposed. This will allow us slow guys to see how its done and perhaps improve???
1.7 Teams are allowed, however all team members should run identical livery aside from their racing numbers, colour coding of mirrors or some other small area of car to aid identification is also allowed.
Section 2: The car.
2.1 Only permissable model is the 2008 BMW Z4 M Coupe
2.2 No conversions are allowed.
2.3 Engine modifications permitted are Race Air filter, Race Fuel System, Race Exhaust and Race Flywheel only.
2.4 Platform/Handling Upgrades. Race Brakes,Race Springs and Dampers,Race ARBS, RaceRollcage and Race weight reduction.
2.5 Full Race Clutch,Transmission,Driveline and Differential.
2.6 Race tyres, Maximum width at front and rear.
2.7 Alloy wheel type and diameter are left open to entrants choice.
2.8 Full race aero package front and rear.
2.9 The above list of parts is mandatory, the car should have a PI of around S643 (dependent on wheel choice). Power will be 398BHP with 312 lb ft of torque, and the chassis will way no less than 2578lbs.
3.0 race numbers must be displayed on the series decal, (to be made available shortly)

Sounds good to me General but guys already have something planned for Tuesday's.
This could possibly run before the global icon series, however that looks a more varied series..Day isnt important it can run whenever
General, I like the sound of this. Will keep an eye out for it whenever it happens! Thanks
