Generally Rookie Championship : Season 14 [Login][Race]

Generally Rookie Championship

"let rookies have their say"
GRC sub-site in GRO website


OK, OK, OK... now we have two international forums, I have to re-make all compos threads as we lost everything with RSC's
death (of course there are this mirror thingy project, but atm, we have nothing and the show must go on).

So, let's get started : GRC, or Generally Rookie Championship is a competition reserved for "Rookies", or more precisly to "Bronze" and "Silver" classes according to GRO rules, ie. rookies and also more experienced "amateur" drivers. So, all the good drivers are not permitted to race there, which makes GRC an ideal entry-level formula to all GR newcomers.

So, the current situation is : We are currently in the 14th season, and we already raced 3 rounds, of course, due to RSC downtime, the attendance was not excellent, as we were only 10 to race Round 3, but chance makes that the new forums are coming during the Christmas break, meaning that there will be no rounds during 2 weeks, so that's the ideal moment to
join if you missed the first rounds !

Calendar

So here's the calendar :
  • Netton Park : From 3/12/2009 to 9/12/2009 (Round over : Results)
  • Hakulin Ring : From 10/12/2009 to 16/12/2009 (Round over : Results)
  • Orallio Park : From 17/12/2009 to 23/12/2009 (Round over : Results)
  • Yas Marina South : From 7/01/2010 to 13/01/2010
  • Lobo City Street Course : From 14/01/2010 to 21/01/2010
  • Masters of Dicrette : From 22/01/2010 to 28/01/2010 (/!\ 25 km race /!\)
You can check the complete calendar and also the current standings and results here

So, how do we play ?

Well, as Generally is not a online multiplayer game, everybody have to play offline. But to simulate "real racing", we set up a system : The login system.

It seems quite complicated, but it is not that complicated, in theory, we could summarize this method into 3 steps :
  1. You login on the website (you'll find the GRC login link here)
  2. You make the race of your life ;)
  3. You send required files to grrookiechamp@gmail.com
But for more details, a simplified version of rules is available on post #2 of this thread

OK, how do we join ?

It's very easy actually, you just need to reply to this thread or send an email to grrookiechamp@gmail.com and give the following informations :
  • Your nickname (preferably RSC Nickname if you were there)
  • Your email address (to send your login informations which are valid for every GRO competition)
  • Your nationality
But you can also sign up teams, as many drivers as you want, the only condition is to be at least 2 drivers, so basically,
I need to know :
  • The name of your team
  • The drivers of your team
Here is the current entry list :
Image
If you can't see updated entry list, press F5

What files do we need ?

All files you need are available in this pack, actually it is a special GR copy
for GRC, with tracks, cars, AIs, options, etc. well all you need for GRC.

Download GRC pack (1,5 Mo)

Good luck !

Rules

This is the short version of rules, to consult full version of rules, go to the GRC sporting rules page in GRO website

Teams & Drivers

To sign up, just reply here or send an email to grrookiechamp@gmail.com with required informations

Drivers may also enter teams as long there are at least 2 registered drivers, there are no maximal limit, however, only the 2 best drivers each round will score points for their teams, other drivers and privateer drivers (= no team) will be ignored (see "points & standings")

sign up informations are available on the first post

Settings and races

Each season, we will have 5 "regular" rounds and 1 "masters" round (since s13, normally the masters are the last round of the season)

Here's the settings for "regular" rounds :
  • Race length : 10 km
  • Tyre wear : 12%
  • Fuel consumption : 10%
  • Fuel mass : 50 kg
  • Damages : 15%
Here's the settings for "masters" rounds :
  • Race length : 25 km
  • Tyre wear : 8%
  • Fuel consumption : 7%
  • Fuel mass : 50 kg
  • Damages : 15%
Moreover, drivers must use these settings in any circumstances :
  • Effects : 100%
  • Game speed : 100%
You must race with the "FR/13" car you'll find on the GRC pack.

You must also race against 3 AIs : I_Rookie_1, AI_Rookie_2 and AI_Rookie_3 which are available on the GRC pack, you must not modify them.

All GRO events use the "login system", meaning that you must login, race, and send files of your attempt to be counted on results, here's exactly how to do step by step :
  1. When you ready to race, check your settings, go here and click on the link below, type your login and your password
  2. Then, download the .zip file and extract it to the GRC GR copy main folder
  3. Start your GRC GR copy.
  4. Select the track you've just downloaded, select your driver (IN FIRST), and then the 3 AIs. Start the race
  5. Before that the race start, you can save your game and modify starting grid thanks to Savegame reader
  6. When you have finished your only attempt (when the results appears), take a screenshot with F11 and save your game
  7. .zip your files (I need only .bmp and .gam, no .trk) and send them to grrookiechamp@gmail.com
  8. Wait for the results ^^
You must login here to race for GRC.

Points & standings

There are 4 standings in GRC :
  • Drivers standings : which crowns GRC champion
  • Teams standings : which crowns GRC Team champion, only the 2 best drivers each round will be score points for their teams, other team drivers and privateer will be ignored.
  • Junior standings : which crowns GRC Junior champion, reserved to "Bronze" class drivers
  • Nations standings : which crowns GRC Nation champion, with a specific points system
For regular races, points will be distributed as follows
  • 1st place : 22 points
  • 2nd place : 20 points
  • 3rd place : 18 points
  • 4th place : 16 points
  • 5th place : 15 points
  • 6th place : 14 points

Today is the start of Round 4 :
OK, after a christmas break, GRC is back for some more promising rookie action to Yas Marina track. Six new drivers joined us during the break, including a new team : RaceDepartement.com composed by an international line-up : Kris (Bel), Omer (Tur) and Resir014 (Idn), the three other drivers are all privateers, it includes two italians, Medal89 and Pierlerally, and one brazilian, Cristiano Bohessef.

Of course, login for Round 4 is ready and you can now login and race at any moment from now to Wednesday night, 11h59 pm GMT. But don't forget to learn the track and make a good strategy before login.

Click here to see the track preview page

Also, I couldn't make a news now without talking about RSC's death as the whole GR community was very concerned since it was very dependant of this forum, however, the community don't give up, and there are now two international forums where you'll be able to find a GRC thread : Generamlly Racers Forum (made by DXTR), and RaceDepartement.com (made thanks to David Garcia and some black rebels racing members who were active in the GR community). Here's the links
Generally Racers Forum
RaceDepartement.com GR forum

BTW, I also made a thread in the italian forum, both in italian part and the english part of the forum. Maybe I'll make a thread in other national forums, but it needs time. And I have also to launch FSS (which won't start on 10th January as "promised" before).

So, now, it is time to race ! Good luck !

PS : I wish you a happy new year and many success in GR and in your projects. A bit late to say it I know, but still better than never. :)

That's it. I keep you guys away from Blacklist, so you can race next Season. :D

I found a little bug in GeneRally with LoboCity (Tracklength 400m). 10km/400m=25Laps!
26Laps=10400m, hmm?? My little tool CompetionZipper calculates with 25Laps, so the
average Speed is different. Anyway, the zipping works fine.

@ Rendy : Sorry, but if I don't have the screenshot, I can't check completely your time, and if I can't check your time, then, I have to penalize you :/

About the error 500 problem, I can't help with it atm, it depends of the server, not me. :|

Otherwise, replays and results of R5 are available

Of course, login for Round 6 is ready, don't forget that's the long race and we use special settings :
  • Tyre wear : 8%
  • Fuel consumption : 7%
  • Fuel mass : 100kg
  • Damage : 15%
  • Race distance : 25 kilometres
Good luck

You know they say 7 is a magical number so I might be really lucky because it seems I stuck to the 7th place (round 4-5 and the overall, and I am usually about 7 seconds behind the winner). ;)
I'm working so hard on trading off 7 for a smaller number but you guys are so fast! :bg:
