World Grand Prix Championships S15: OOC Discussion Thread

[Former Citizens of the Nimbus System]

My mega-post is not yet done; more out tomorrow! turns out that it won't be done by the time I'll be off either, so expect it to be finished on Sunday.

[Esmerel]

Might I ask why the practice report is late?

[Aboveland]

Audioslavia is a very busy guy. Delays are commonplace in the WGPC, no biggie

[Esmerel]

Figured it was a delay, just was getting worried. But if he takes too long it won't be Friday practice, where I live it's 14 minutes to midnight

[Former Citizens of the Nimbus System]

I have returned! Should have more writing up soon.

[Esmerel]

Awfully long delay we have here...

[WGPC]

Hi guys.

I'll have to ask for a bit of patience over the next few weeks, which are a little busy at work. Delays are fairly common in the WGPC, as I can't guarantee I'll be available every weekend evening for scorination. I do believe we're doing better than last season so far, though, with this only the second Monday scorination of the race.

Results up within the next hour.

[Esmerel]

Will do.

[Esmerel]

Just to notify that Aels has refounded, though I don't know if that'll mean the race will be held...

This signup is far too late, not in depth enough, with no picture, and its stats exceed the limit.

Come back another time after you read the rules.

As for the driver signup, the trigramme is too short, and the number 55 is taken.

If you don't even know how to do that you really shouldn't apply.

Your updated driver signup isn't much better, as the number 99 is also taken.

[Aboveland]

Hey, cut him some slack. It is to late for the team sign up, at this point, but his driver sign up is perfectly fine (ring a bell, Esmerel?).

Do try to fix the stats though, Vandila.

[Lisander]

I'm currently thinking about a feeder series to WGPC. The idea is still evolving, it doesn't have a name but there are some ideas:

-One Make series: The same car for each of the teams. Probably I'll search a common car design for liveries.

-Scorination: I'm thinking about using this manager game to have all of the season scorinated. This one accepts more testing stats for the driver like "Race start", "stamina" and "Wet weather".

This could even race in the WGPC break.

Wow, really cool idea. I'd definitely sign up.

I had also been thinking of doing a RX/rally series but I have no idea how to make a scorinator, and Xkoranate won't do.

Heh. Some of you may remember this little thing I did some time ago that I called the 'International Super Formula Championship' (NSFC). It was derived from my own domestic open-wheel series, which used a common chassis but allowed for different engines and tyre manufacturers provided they met certain specifications. I was thinking of bringing it back at some point in the future as a possible WGPC support series, with a shiny new scorinator and a rename.

Well, this could be interesting. I probably wouldn't enter a team this year because I have a lot of stuff going on generally; I would certainly be open to doing so in the following years if it became a regular tournament. My only hesitation would be that in-universe the Wardship's population probably wouldn't be that interested, given that it is a single-make series and their culture has something of a thing going for innovation and creativity.

Sounds pretty cool, perhaps Scuderia Grotti could start here...

Sounds like a good idea, I would be in I guess. Also, in a one make series, nobody can steal specs

Sounds good. MRT would probably put in a car or two

So in terms of a feeder series I have a few ideas based on what you proposed plus more:

The racing association could be named IOWA (International Open Wheel Association)

All cars would use this template to design their liveries. It's a model of the 2017 F1 car.



They could also use this template for a top-down view, though it wouldn't be required.



Race length would generally be shorter than WGPC races, same with circuit length.

Otherwise the season would generally be the same.

You guys, let me know what you think.

Nicely thought. Another good point in a one-make series is: "Same specs" is equal to "same chassis", and with a good template, the series get a better look.

About the name, it reminds me a lot of the state.

[The Redvale]

I actually already suggested a feeder series in the style of GP2 to Audio and he told me it could work well in the offseason. I was going to do mine with xkoranate and I wasn't going to make everyone use the same model, because that takes RP chances away. The plan was to use junior versions of the current teams and a few others to replace those who aren't interested. Basically, if you already had a team here, you would automatically be on the list to join the feeder series.
