Just going to put down a few track ideas, will give track data when the tracks are selected - saves me having to go in to each game for track data.

Not going to post any GT tracks, as I'm guessing they'll be covered fairly well... though I will suggest Trial Mountain.

Oh, and if this involves fictional tracks from game series, why not have some fictional racing cars, specifically the LM editions and racing modifications from GT1 and 2.

You are only allowed to propose two tracks, so please decide. Also, for the record, I added the Impreza Wagon because of GT1's and GT2's RM of that particular car. (Also, an Impreza Wagon was also raced in 1998 at then-dying Japanese Touring Car Championship, albeit with a naturally-aspirated engine).

Fictional racing cars? Why not those from Burnout 3 and Ridge Racer Type 4? :twisted:

I may consider that for future - but not within short term.

Custom tracks (that is, the tracks you built youself) is not allowed, sorry. :roll:

Some attention with entries:

Eurobrun, Scrattenheim is 405 points, out of 425 allocated points, while 406 points, out of 425 allocated points.

darkapprentice77, Nicchi is 418 points, out of 425 allocated points.

FloProAct, Shamoun is exactly 325, but you need to specify another number - #55 is used by Becker. Bata also have exact same performance as with Shamoun.

Keep in mind, that total performance is driver skill + driver cornering + car performance points. Thank you.

100 + 100 + 135 = 335, actually. I'll add you shortly. Next time, before anyone sign up for this series, do the maths for your total perfomance - it is Skill + Cornering skill + Car Performance.

My two suggestions for tracks, both from Forza:

Track name: Camino Viejo de Montserrat
Layout: Extreme Circuit
Lap record:
Grid limit: The Forza limit of 12 would be a bit crap, so lets say 30.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0dA5nXlWPk

Track name: Maple Valley Raceway
Layout: Full Circuit
Lap record:
Grid limit: See above (30)
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=066VgA0GUGA

I'll take a look for lap records a bit later.

Both drivers must have seperate performance value, even if they are in a team. So:

Lucarelli: 158 + 35 + 31 = 224
Voeckler: 158 + 20 + 23 = 201

While I would approve it, the performances of both drivers are way too low for it's class, sir. I suggest you edit it.

It was sightly based on the F1RMGP system, but anyway, noted.

(For the record, Lucarelli's 145+122+158 = 425 and Voeckler's 133+134+158 = 425 too)

At the age of 19, this young entrepreneur turned his hand to growing his own tea in the grounds of the orphanage he had grown up in, never forgetting his parental roots on the tea plantation. His reputation went through the roof. Soon, he had expanded from the wallpapering table to a proper stall, which became a small shop opposite the Sinhalese Sports Club, supplying the very best tea to thirsty cricket fans who flocked to the ground to cheer on their heroes. He guaranteed jobs for the children of the orphanage that he once called home. His tea plantations expanded, as did his businesses, and eventually - at the age of 32 - he had bought the tea plantation he was born on, and built a house for his biological parents who never had to work again. His tea became the most iconic brand in Sri Lanka, having dedicated every aspect of his life to it.

You have just met Tony Fernando, and you have drunk that first refreshing cup of Fernando's Green Leaf Tea.

TEA POWER!

Tony Fernando's Clatterham Racing has found a number of drivers he feels he can work with to maximise his results and climb the ladder of international motorsport.

Yrjö Perkelainen, from Finland, says nothing unless he has to, and when he does, it is usually an explosion of Finnish expletives quite unbecoming for someone of his country's usually-reserved disposition. It is said that this is how he gained his interesting surname, being descended from a long line of Perkelainens who have all shared a similar characteristic. It is also said that he resembles Darkthrone frontman Nocturno Culto after an accident involving his hair, a lawnmower, and a bottle of nuclear-strength bleach. It is also said that he was born with an innate ability to drive fast on loose surfaces, due to being Finnish.

Tarmo Mõõk is an Estonian not known for being the sharpest tool in the box but who can wrestle a bear to the ground in five seconds flat. He usually communicated with long pauses in the middle of a sentence, and some say he looks like former Derby County goalkeeper Mart Poom after several years eating nothing but anabolic steroids. In reality he grabs birds out of trees and eats them whole, bones, feathers and all, and also has a fondness for roadkill, having been brought up on it during the dreadful years of communism when Estonia was still enslaved by the Soviet Union and butcher's queues were seven hours long for a couple of cubes of rotting rabbit. He did not learn to race as such, just sat behind the wheel of an old Moskvich, floored the throttle and drove past everyone he could as fast as possible.

Jason van Drunen is from the other side of the Atlantic, of distant Dutch ancestry but as his New World immigrant ancestors moved ever further north and west with each passing generation, he has lived most of his life in a log cabin, hidden in the forests of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia. When occasionally bored of his life as a lumberjack and occasional backwoods chef, he would race his pickup truck against any passing traffic, sometimes up to three cars a day. A brief foray in Vancouver to kickstart a proper motorsport career scared him half to death but he recovered to win the inaugural "Across The Bay, Eh" race. Also with a celebrity lookalike, this time Dave Hunt of Anaal Nathrakh, Mistress, Benediction and other bands. But Dave can't make Jase's excellent moose stew with maple syrup.

Tony Fernando has decided to put the two drivers he thinks are strongest into the championship first, but the third driver may also be given a shot if one does not perform. Here's the line-up...

Team name: Clatterham Racing
Driver name: Yrjö Perkelainen
Gender and nationality: Male, Finland
Performance rating: (Skill + cornering) Skill 115, cornering 100
Car: Mercedes 190E evo2
Car number: 10
Total performance and garage number: Garage 15; 135+115+100 = 350
Livery (optional): A similar colour scheme to the Fondmetal Team Malaysia FTM130, only with a much darker red to reflect the colours of the Sri Lankan flag. Title sponsors are Fernando's Green Leaf Tea (on the bonnet) and Oily Prat Fortified Wine. Extra sponsorship comes from Lapin Kulta.

Team name: Clatterham Racing
Driver name: Jason van Drunen
Gender and nationality: Male, Canada
Performance rating: (Skill + cornering) Skill 135, cornering 80
Car: Mercedes 190E evo2
Car number: 11
Total performance and garage number: Garage 16; 135+135+80 = 350
Livery (optional): As the other Clatterham car, but with the Lapin Kulta replaced by Rowse Maple Syrup.

Tarmo Mõõk will be given skill 90, cornering 125 if he is called on to drive one of the Mercs this year.

This seems like my kind of team...

Mõõk will be given one of two spare reserve cars. Also, Ataxia, would you like to sign up for this?

Tracks under consideriation for this series:

Grand Valley (Gran Turismo series, after BCS' suggestion in FORCWSOGMM thread)
Complex String (Gran Turismo 3 A-spec, after BCS' suggestion in FORCWSOGMM thread)
Special Stage Route 11 (Gran Turismo series, although I am unsure to use GT1 or GT3 layout)
Frameout City: Grand Champion (Formula 1 95, lack of pit garages makes it a problem however - no videos, but I'll made one soon)
Night Section A (Sega GT)
Joypolis 2020 (Daytona USA 2)

Other ideas are also welcome, but you will be asked for lap record and grid limit.

I am also considering one of LFS' tracks due to fictional nature of the course, but then it would clash with RoLFS.

If you want to use Special Stage Route 11, use the one that wasn't horribly butchered. AKA the original version.

I've been pretty busy lately, but I'll try and eke out a signup tomorrow.

That's right, I gave them a wiki page already. The stable of Clatterham drivers is now up to five, but it is highly unlikely that the extra will be called on to race in this series (and who knows if they'll ever race at all).
