KL-racer’s Alternate SUPER GT: 2005 season

KL-racer · Post by **KL-racer** » 06 May 2013, 01:02

Well, it’s me again. Some would wonder why I would start a second series, given that the DTM series was a good success after the problems in its first season. I did fixed all of the kinks out for this series, which involved messing around many things such as car stats and other stuff like cost of upgrades and budgets. So, after many hours of number crunching and testing, here’s what I came up with for my new Alternate series, SUPER GT! And yes, I will be using xkoranate again for this one!

There would be two classes of cars on track at the same time, therefore championship points, prize money and success ballast will be awarded separate for each class.
EDIT: The point system will be the pre- 2003 f1 points system. 10-6-4-3-2-1 due to the fact that the field is smaller for both classes. Success ballast will be changed to .1(X) when x is the number of points the driver has. Unlike my DTM series, success ballast will NOT be removed for the final two rounds of the season. The reason being, that I want to determine if there’s any noticeable difference in race results by keeping the ballast on the cars until the season is over.

The starting budget for GT500 teams is 20 million yen, and the GT300 teams will start with 10 million yen. In terms of the eligible cars for GT500 your choices are the Honda NSX, Nissan 350Z or the Toyota Supra (thanks CaptainGetz12 for that edit!). But for GT300, there is no such list, so you can enter almost anything that is semi-realistic. And yes, each user can enter one team for each class if you insist! But all teams, regardless of class, will be independent from the beginning, so no manfacturer support is allowed!

Drivers:

Each team regardless of class needs any 2 real-life drivers that are NOT in F1, NASCAR or Indy Car. Drivers from Asia get first priority over everyone else because this is indeed an Asia-Based series. So keep that in mind! By the way, no Pay drivers are allowed!

Car stats:

All cars in GT500 will start with +9/+9/+9, the maximum limit is +15
All cars in GT300 will start with +3/+3/+3, the maximum limit is +6

Upgrades:

EDIT: For GT500 3 million yen = 0.5 point, for GT300 1.5 million yen = 0.5 point.

EDIT: Prize money for each class. the first amount is for GT500 and the second amount is for GT300.

1st: 8 million yen/4 million yen
2nd: 6 million yen/3 million yen
3rd: 4 million yen/ 2 million yen
4th: 3 million yen/ 1.5 million yen
5th: 2 million yen/ 1 million yen
6th: 1 million yen/ 0.5 million yen

Race calendar: (Number of laps or approximate time in hours/lap time in seconds)
Okayama 81/95
Sepang 90/114
Sugo 80/92
Laguna Seca 90/96
Suzuka 172/110
Motegi 4 hours/100 (was supposed to be 8 hours but due to extraordinary circumstances it will be reduced by half!)
Shanghai 55/112
Autopolis 107/98
Infineon 3 hours/105
Fuji 228/102

Yes, of course you can. You can enter one team for each class, if you want to!

And by the way, the maximum grid size for this series will be 48 cars!

EDIT: it's one car only but shared by two drivers! Just like the real series!

Andre Couto was taken earlier by Nippon Nagoya, so you will have to use someone else. I'm sure you can easily find someone else anyway!

Wait, how is this a 2005 season, since the Lexus SC430 did not enter Super GT Gt500 class until 2006. 2005 was when toyota still used the Supra.

Also, is the Ferrari 500 GTC allowed in this series in the GT500 class? since it was allowed at the time, and any non-japanese car at the time was considered rejectful (even Mclaren F1 GTRs and Lamborghini Diablos

)

Yes, the SC430 wasn't used in 2005 in real life, but the supra was way too old and it stopped production a long time ago! That was the original reason for this Alternate series why I had the Lexus SC430 introduced a year earlier than real life. Good point you bought up, and I knew someone was going to complain about that detail eventually. Guess I will have to change the Lexus entries to the Supra for the first year only!

And in terms of using the Ferrari 550 GTC for GT500 it was indeed allowed at that current time frame, feel free to use it for the LOL'S!

Well, 2M for 'King Hiro' Matsushita is somewhat excessive, especially considering that his much better team mate James Courtney only gets 500K.

FMecha · Post by **FMecha** » 07 May 2013, 16:11

5m for 0.1 upgrade point seems too costly since we only have 20m (GT500) or 10m (GT300) as the starting budget (driver salary notwithstanding). Is that a typo?

And there are rumors that two European tracks - Donington and Catalunya are bidding for a SUPER GT European Grand Prix in 2006.

Maybe half a point then for the same cost?

For #1: I am NOT going to do another DTM season anyways, because of the obvious flaws in it's first season (2000). With that in mind, it's fair game to use T. Schneider and O. Beretta in this one.

For #2, yes, I already did change your GT300 entry to a Honda NSX.

Anyways, I made some more edits. Upgrades will be 3 million = 0.5 point for GT500 and 1.5 million yen = 0.5 point for GT300. Due to the lack of entries in both classes, I decided to change the points system to 10-6-4-3-2-1. Success ballast will remain .1(X), but prize money will be changed to the top 6 finishers for each class. However, the amount of prize money given for both classes will now be different.

Finally, both Grand Honshu Racing entries need a car number.

KL-racer · Post by **KL-racer** » 15 May 2013, 17:32

Yes, it's me again. I just noticed that in the entry list for GT500, there are no teams running the Nissan 350Z! Which is odd indeed.

With that in mind, is it okay for myself to enter a team just for GT500 as well as running the series? Or is it against the rules?

If it's not against the rules, the team name would be Project Kivasports, running the Nissan 350Z, drivers would be Ryo Michigami and Akira Iida. Both drivers would be paid 2.5 million yen. The car number would be 24.

What do you guys think?
