Re: PMMF Planning Thread
Something I've been planning in the background over the past week or so is a touring car series based on the S2000/BTC-T regulations to be based in the current canon era (2018 onwards). If this goes ahead, the first season will be a short series at the end of the 2018, taking over from the Macau Touring Masters event. The second season will be a full 10+ round season, which I will run instead of Formula 5000.
I've compiled a list of cars that will be eligible for this series here - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0NIg ... kxiQ0pkbHM

Re: PMMF Planning Thread
Just pouring an idea of Intercontinental Endurance series. The concept is having 25 GT3 cars as the one who battles for the championship, then 15 cars from the respective country's series cars i.e. We go to Bathurst, then we have 25 GT3 cars and 15 V8 Supercars, or if one wants to be equal, then 20-20. For the reasons of Kyalami 9 Hours, I would only run the Southern Hemisphere circuits, something like: Argentine with Turismo Carretera, Brazil with Stock Car Brasil, Australia with V8 Supercars and finale in Kyalami with.....

Re: PMMF Planning Thread
I have several ideas that I've been exploring - making databases and stuff - but I don't have any suitable software to simulate results with.
Well, I have xkoranate, but the results it generates are kind of rubbish. What software would people recommend I experiment with?

Aside from using actual motorsport games, the only software I recommend is Microsoft Excel unless you're willing to write your own program. I love the fact that I can customise just about anything from weather, tyre wear rates, safety car probability, ease of overtaking etc. I'm happy to share my sheet but it requires a fairly advanced knowledge of excel and also is pretty time-consuming to use (if I had better knowledge of programming and macros I'd make it more automated).

I have the same experience, using Excel to run my own series (no, it's not dead, I'm just extremely busy/lazy right now). I haven't got round to adding weather, tyres, SC or anything to it, but it's fun to be able to control absolutely everything. If you have advanced knowledge of it, you can indeed use some automation to make running races much easier, but like AustralianStig, I don't have this knowledge.

Tommykl's spreadsheet is definitely more basic than mine so I'd suggest trying his first (if he's willing to share). I am happy to share mine though, if you're interested just shoot me a PM to remind me and I'll send it when I'm on my PC.

Re: PMMF Planning Thread
I am thinking of making a Stock Car series similar to the VSR V8 Trophy but will include some European circuits as well as UK Circuits. I have been struggling on trying to create a series on Rfactor on Talent Files, Paint templates etc. But despite that, i have always come up with very good ideas for a canon series.

Geographically though, the British Isles are still considered a part of Europe.

But... it's on the Eurasian Plate, which makes it part of the Eurasian landmass. Add to that that the British Isles are west of the Ural mountains that can only suggest that it's part of the continent we call Europe. Given that the UK is also part of the European Union, which only accepts European countries (sorry Turkey and Morocco) and the massive role that Great Britain has had in the history of the continent for centuries, then there's absolutely no way of denying that the United Kingdom is part of Europe.

Re: PMMF Planning Thread
Seeing as Europe is a political region which is just West Eurasia geographically... the UK is still definitely part of it, as everyone is explaining.

Re: PMMF Planning Thread
Azores and Iceland are technically the border of Europe and America. So half of both countries counts as Europe. In Iceland the continental divide is actually clearly visible.

Are you implying that countries like Belarus, Croatia or Albania aren't part of Europe either? Because they're also not part of the Schengen area...

Those countries may be European (if not) but have special restrictions when you enter from those countries to another country. So yes, you were quite right on that one.

Anyone interested?
I'd like to gauge interest for a series made up only oval circuits. It'll be an xKoranate series, because I've managed to make the DNF rate work for an oval race. Obviously, as it's my first thing, it'd be non-Canon - to think I could walk straight in and run a canon series would be silly. If there's interest, I'll get to work on a driver DB and fleshing out the backstory. The first season calendar is already sorted:
- American 500 - Daytona International Speedway (200 laps)
- Mexican 500 - Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez Oval (500 laps)
- Argentine 500 - Autodromo Oscar y Juan Galvez No. 7 (309 laps)
- South African 500 - Phakisa Freeway Oval (333 laps)
- Australian 500 - Calder Park Thunderdrome (500 laps)
- Japanese 500 - Motegi Oval Course (323 laps)
- United States 500 - Pocono Raceway (200 laps)
- German 500 - Lausitzring Superspeedway (247 laps)
- British 500 - Rockingham Motor Speedway (338 laps)
- The Grand Final - Indianapolis Motor Speedway (200 laps)

Rate the drivers higher than the max skill setting. So, for a 500-lap event around a mile oval (like AHR), I rated the drivers around 100 and then changed the max skill to 20, which gave me about a 75% finishing rate. The downside of that is that the more finishers I get, the less close the races are (which makes as little sense as it sounds) so gas-guzzling V10s will likely return for Formula O

If you modify the rel coefficient in the .xml files that could also probably work.

Canon and Real life Drivers allowed. Drivers will be 14 and over but preferrably under 25. Drivers over 25 will depend on their history and results on that year. Drivers with promising results on that year may not be allowed to take part.

Re: PMMF Planning Thread
To be clear, this isn't an idea I'll get to for months, if at all, but...
A2 Grand Prix
Using a fleet of Minardi 2-seater cars, a range of national teams take part in a grand prix series, probably on street circuits because they're cheaper and that's what usually characterised the Minardi team.
It'd basically be the same as A1GP, but with teams of two that switch over at a mid-race pit stop (perhaps with qualifying as an aggregate of both drivers' lap times)
Feel free to take this idea and use it, because I'm not all that likely to

I'd probably wait until the current A1GP season is over.
I'd suggest that one must be a professional driver, and the other person a 'famous person' (who has no professional racing history) from that country, and that that famous person has to run a minimum of time in the car.

Re: PMMF Planning Thread
I'm planning an "Africa Racing League" to run over the winter. As I learned from ARNC, allowing too many entries with a mix of part-time and full-time was just a touch too ridiculous and required a lot of work to do.
I'll still be using the Lola B05/52, because that's quite a fun car and I know the livery template well.
Here's how it'll work:
There will be 16-20 cars, teams can be single-car or two-car entries. Ideally, they'll have a history of racing in Africa, or if not at least some connection to the continent. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter, just as long as you're being sensible.
Teams will be required to hire at least ONE "AfriStar" driver. "AfriStars" are canonical drivers who are established racers with experience of canonical racing series. You will need the DEC holder's permission to use them, as per usual. If you run a two-car team, you may either sign two "AfriStars" or introduce your own rookie driver from an African nation.
All eligible AfriStars, as well as the potential calendar, are available on this post. Prince Falik has personally funded a circuit in Nigeria, and will be known as the Falik P-Minus Abuja Circuit.
Any further questions or drivers I may have missed who could be eligible (or if you want a driver off the list), please feel free to ask.

I have a suggestion for a calendar addition too: The Circuit de Dakar
That circuit really reminds me of Tsukuba.

Re: PMMF Planning Thread
I've been looking for that circuit and I know it exists for rFactor, but I can't find it!

Someone needs to do Phoenix Park in rFactor; it would be perfect for Formula E
Anyway, looks good on paper. If you can get everything working properly it could be a great series
Not so sure about the calendar though. Racalmuto and Brands Hatch are sort of against the whole "world cities" theme of the real-life series.

If anyone is interested you can play the original Grand Prix here, I think its classed as abandonware so should be legal, if not then delete https://archive.org/details/msdos_World_Circuit_1992
