Simply put; a thread for those interested in participating in the Nation States Stock Car Racing Association's third season. More information will be posted as it comes up. Feel free to ask either myself of Newmanistan any questions you may have.
Here's what I would suppose you could call a "bid", but basically here's how I'm going to run things:
For a scorinator I will be using NASCAR Racing 2003 by Papyrus. For driver stats there are eight different categories:
Driver Aggression
Consistency
Finishing Ability
Qualifying Ability
Road Course
Short Track (<1 mile)
Speedway (>1 mile)
Superspeedway (2 miles or more)
Pretty simple, the higher the number the better the driver is in that category, from zero to 100, and all the categories add up to 800. But here's the catch: you only have 600 points to use, so distribute them wisely.
Here's a sample of driver point distribution:
DRIVER: Alex Whitt
Aggression - 80
Consistency - 80
Finishing - 85
Qualifying - 60
Road Course - 70
Short Track 65
Speedway - 83
Superspeedway - 72
And they should all add up to 600.
The second stat is the actual car your driver drives. There are four categories:
Aerodynamics
Chassis
Engine
Reliability
Zero to 100 points in each category, for a total of 400 points. But again, there's a limit. You only have 350 points to distribute.
Finally, there's your pit crew, which consists of three categories:
Consistency
Speed
Strategy
300 points total. Again there's a limit: you have 200 points to distribute.
That's a lot, I know. Bear with me.
TRACKS:
The track selection will be somewhat limited, as I'll need an actual track to run the races on. There are websites you can find tracks that you can claim as in your nation, which I will link to later. You can go and pick a track, tell me what track it is and where (link it to me) and I'll download it.
Bear in mind the track you pick may not be a track with strong AI; for example, the AI may not decide to break for pit road or do some other stupid stunt like morph into another car and explode (yes, that's happened). But fear not, most will work. I'll post a list later of what tracks I already have.
and finally,
CARS:
Since this is a race simulator, you can actually paint your car. There are templates available online that you can paint your design on and then email to me so I can put it on your car. I will only impose a few regulations on painting the car:
1.) Numbers must be on the roof facing the driver's side and on the doors of the car
2.) there must be contingency sponsors on all the cars. These will be applied by myself and will be just in front of and behind the front wheel (don't worry, they won't take up a ton of space).
You don't have to host a race if you want, but if you do just remember to read what I have written above. And hands off Darlington, I got dibs.
ALSO! Before I forget:
You may enter up to four drivers, but please keep in mind that if there are a lot of participants that sign up only 2 or 3 of them may actually be accepted, so list your drivers in order from #1-#4 in priority. Car numbers will be assigned first come, first serve when the signup thread is up.
That's basically how I'll be running things. After enough people show interest I'll post the signup thread. So, yeah, hooah.
