GeneRally Grand Tour [R/TT/HL] [LOGIN]

Post by axetm »

GeneRally Grand Tour
GeneRally Grand Tour is a competition based on cycling race Tour de France. Drivers don’t get points for their positions, but the overall time on all stages count in general classification (GC).
There are 3 stage types: race, time trial and hotlap. In race stages you must drive against 5 AI drivers. In hotlap and time trial stages you must drive alone, without any AI drivers. In hotlap stage no pits are allowed. In hotlap stages both 2 laps time count, not only the best one.
Except GC there are points, hotlap and team classification. The winner is a driver who wins general classification. In case of the same time, points classification decides, then hotlap classification, then GC after previous stage. You have to participate in all stages to be classified.
1) Image General classification - best overall time
2) Image Points classification - most points scored overall
3) Image Hotlap classification - best sum of fastest laps times from all stages
4) Image Team classification - best overall time of best 2 drivers in the team
Team may have maximum 3 members, but only 2 best results count. At least 2 team members must participate in all stages for a team to be classified in team classification. Drivers without a team will become “No Team” members, and will be classified in team classification. "No Team" may have more than 4 members.

Points (for points classification):
1) Stage finish - 20-16-14-12-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1

:sorry: Sorry for that. I used "Grand Tour" as referrer to major cycling races, not to your competition name. But if you wish I can change it, so that nobody will confuse these 2 different competitions.

I just did my run for first week - quite clean, but I have impression that rules are still too rush.

For wrong race settings, modified files and save/load game DSQ is fine - that's huge offences.
But missing file (screenhoot or track) - 1st time- +120 s ; 2nd time - DSQ - it's too much, why not BOP with time of LOWEST_DRIVER + 30s or 60s?
shortcutting, wall bouncing, going out of track - it's login competition, accidental shortutting and going out of track will happen - you should only penalize those who did it intentionally. About wallbouncing - there is 30% damage, noone will try to do it, all wall bouncng would be unintended
pit in hotlap stage - isn't it punishment itself?

After all championship should be for drivers, not the other way.

Pitting in a hotlap stage gives a massive potential advantage. ;)

Except that when both laps count - which isn't strictly hotlap, btw, but a very short time trial - it's not an advantage. ;) Maybe he's talking about shortcutting through pits. :scratch:

In hotlap where only best lap counts - yes.

But as axetm wrote "In hotlap stages both 2 laps time count, not only the best one." Then pitting is only waste of time.

(wait...)

Ok, someone can give up on figting in General classification and try to win Hotlap classification - so yes, pitting during hotlap should be penalized.

Pitting in hotlap
While driving on tracks on which pits aren't on start/finish line, but before it, you can pit on the first lap and do the 2nd in very good time. Kuba is right:

Shortcutting, wall bouncing, going out of track:
I made a research and in other competitions penalty is pretty much the same, for example: in Formula Endurance - 15 s, in GR WRC - 3 s, in GTCC - 10 s.
I think 5 s is OK. To clarify the rule, the penalty will be given only if you do it intentionally, not accidently. Don't worry, I'm not here to give penalty to everyone.

Missing file (screenhoot or track):
120 s is more than in other competitions, so I change it to 25 s/file/each time you do it. So if you miss both files you will get 50 s.

I have also received Alonso files for prologue. You guys did it pretty good.

It works perfectly for me, and I use Firefox... Perhaps your ISPs block the webhost for some reason?
