RandomCar - GTR Special
After 3 successful seasons running the TBO performance based PL200 class in the RandomCar Series,let's try same car selection method with different class - the good old GTR class,however with few twists! Firstly several other cars have been added to the 3 LFS default GTR cars - 3 of them with pretty much same performance,other 3 with different numbers but still being able to perform very similary and 2 cars have been restricted to match the GT500 class. The other twist in this RC GTR Special is addition of 2nd car class,making this into multiclass race - just like in the well know JGTC,also here we will be running GT300 class next to GT500,which adds another 9 cars,8 from which are pure class spec cars and 1 - downrestricted to match the class.
GTR class cars are made for longer races than just sprint racing,so it has been decided to make this special into 1 hour race,but since some cars can run their tyres longer that others,another twist was added to this race - a mandatory pitstop requiring to change all 4 tyres of the car! This adds a tactical element to the race,which with good or bad planning can influence outcome in results. As a venue for this race,one of the most complete tracks has been selected - Aston North in reversed direction features straights,twisty high speed turns and slow hairpins,also all 3 LFS standard GTR cars are known to be most balanced in this track.
Tuesday, 18th November
18:00 UTC / 19:00 CET / 20:00 EET
Information:
Track: Aston North rev. (AS7R)
Race length: 1 hour timed race
NOTE: Mandatory pitstop required with all 4 tyres change!
As per standard LFS rules,this pitstop has to be completed at earliest after completing 1st lap and at latest - before starting last lap. Failure to complete the pitstop requirement will result in 1 minute after race penalty!
- Overtaking slower class cars must be treated as in every other race when lapping - over straights GT300 class cars must define their line as early as possible and stay on one half of the track when GT500 class cars are approaching and yield to properly presented overtaking manouver. They can but are not obligated to move on outside of turn early to allow the pass. GT500 class cars must make sure to pass in safe manner without forcing GT300 class cars off line with unpredictible passing manouvers.
- During qualifying every car on hotlap has right to stay on raceline,GT500 class cars should make sure to leave large gap to GT300 class cars before starting a hotlap!
