NAGRCA Modified Tour 2014 (CANCELLED)

Post by puttz »

And here is the latest compo to roll into the NAGRCA stable: the NAGRCA modified tour. This will simulate the excitement of short track racing, using Haruna's Modded Shorty. The will be 7 oval rounds and 3 road course rounds, just to make things a little more interesting. There will be an overall championship, and two sub-championships: oval and road course (surprise, right? ;) ) In each round, there will be three parts that each driver must drive: A hotlap qualifying round (which will set the heats), a heat race, and a main race. All of these will be done in one sitting with a single login. Unlike most compos, qualifying does not set your starting position. Every race you will be starting from last place. Qualifying is only used to determine who races in which heat. There will be a maximum of 6 heats, with a maximum of 6 drivers. The main will also have 6 drivers. For those of you not familiar with short-track type formats, here's the basic idea: based on qualifying times, drivers are divided up into heat races (top qualifier is in heat 1, 2nd is in heat 2, 3rd in heat 3, etc. until all of the heats have one driver, then the next driver goes into heat 1, and this continues until all drivers are placed in heats). Then, the winner of each heat advances to the main. If there are less than 6 heats, then the fastest qualifying 2nd place drivers will advance, and if all of the second place drivers advance and there is still room, then the fastest qualifying 3rd place drivers will advance. The number of heats will be determined by the number of drivers submitting files. So, if 12 drivers submit files, there will be 2 heats of 6, with the top 3 in each advancing. If there are 15 drivers, there will be 3 heats of 5, with the top two drivers advancing. And so on and so forth.

You will use the AIs supplied in the pack to race against in the heat and main races. Qualifying will be done without AIs. Qualifying is always 3 laps. Heat and main distances will vary depending on the track (race lengths are listed in the schedule).

I will send you your login information soon after you sign up.

I have decided that the placing format for the heats will be changed. The credit for this idea goes to kuba. Instead of going back to heat 1 once all the heats are filled, the last heat will get the next driver, and the heats will be filled in "serpentine" order. Here's an example to make it clearer:

e.g. 4 heats:

Code: Select all

Heat | Qualifying positions
  1  |   1st  8th   9th...
  2  |   2nd  7th  10th...
  3  |   3rd  6th  11th...
  4  |   4th  5th  12th...
If this looks even remotely interesting, please sign up. The more drivers there are, the more fun this series will be. :bg:

1 Week until racing starts. I need a few more drivers or else this series is likely to be cancelled. :ouch: This format will be no fun without more drivers.

Re: NAGRCA Modified Tour [login] [hotlap] [race]-ON HOLD

I am going to put this series on hold for the moment, perhaps I will try to run it at another time. I'd prefer to have at least 10 driver, butI just don't see being able to get enough driver interest for that at the moment as there are several other (more interesting) compos running at this time. I am considering taking this idea, except applying it to a different set of tracks and cars, since most people probably aren't interested in a primarily oval compo of this nature. I'll admit that ovals can be kind of boring in GR. Look for a different series coming soon :bg: It'll probably involve smaller WS tracks and smaller cars.

I would've joined, but my schedule is kind of unpredictable at the moment. Too bad this got canceled.

I'd consider it, but my life will get so hectic in a couple of weeks that running my compo on its own will stretch me. :p

Maybe the problem aren't ovals, short races on little ovals are fun, rather collision with earlier started and sort of similar Speedway GP, I'd guess. Pity in any case.

Don't worry, Supercars is coming this Winter. Unless people really want to see it now, then I might consider running it soon, and doing modifieds during winter. And don't worry, it's not cancelled. I'm just delaying it for now. People can still express interest in the thread and sign up. If enough people commit, I can take it off hold and we'll go racing :bg:

Edit: I've decided to postpone this series until February of 2014, when the somewhat similar Speedway GP ends.

I am officially cancelling this series for now. I may resurrect it at some point in the future.
