Official NS World Grand Prix Championship 8 SIGNUPS
Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 2:16 am
This is the signup thread for the eighth World Grand Prix Championship season. The WGPC is an open-wheeled motor racing series, which broadly follows RL Formula One rules. If you wish to sign up for the event, please read the following instructions carefully. If you ignore any of the instructions, I reserve the right to ignore your signup - fair's fair.
1) There is no guarantee that signing up means your team has a spot in the championship. The only ones guaranteed a spot, if they sign up, are the teams that finished in the top five last season (Silverstar KPL, Globo/Velog, MPC F1, InfoInternet Liventia Racing, and Team Revél-Celestar). Everyone else should note that I will retain the final say on which teams will take part in the championship for RP level and interest reasons. Fifteen (15) teams will make the final cut. Only one team per nation, and no puppets!
2) Each nation may submit up to TWO tracks, OR one track each from a master and puppet nation. Ultimately in most cases only ONE track per nation will be used. You may submit a (1) track if you are not entering a team; likewise you need not enter a track if you do not have one.
If you are entering a track, the following should be present:
a) Distance of one lap. If your track has no known distance but has been used in a prior WGPC, this may be left blank as I'll just refer to the previous results.
b) The lap record. If there's no lap record, I *MUST* have the lap distance.
c) *IMPORTANT* A track map. You can use any software you wish to generate this, but I must have a track map.
One last thing: NO OVALS!
3) Each nation may sign up ONE team of TWO drivers and ONE backup.
Each team gets 20 points to distribute in aerodynamics (A), cornering (C) and reliability (R). The maximum in any one category is 10. Each driver gets a bonus point to one of the three stats. So a team with a rating of 7-7-6 could have one driver that's 8-7-6 and the other could be driving a car that's 7-7-7. The reserve driver will not be allowed an extra point. If you miss that, you don't get to go back and add it in once we start.
This is how a signup should look:
Team: TEAM NAME (A-C-R)
Team manager/principal: NAME
Driver 1: DRIVER NAME (Bonus to A/C/R)
Driver 1 description (optional)
Driver 2: DRIVER NAME (Bonus to A/C/R)
Driver 2 description (optional)
Test/reserve driver (optional): DRIVER NAME
TRACKS
Track 1: TRACK NAME
Circuit distance: DISTANCE KM (or miles, but preferably km)
Fastest lap: MIN:SEC.000 (to the thousandth of a second, please)
Track map: LINK TO MAP
Track 2: TRACK NAME

Ultimately the calendar will consist of 15 teams and 12-15 races, although as stated above I will have the final say over which teams and tracks make it.
Car numbers should not be allocated by you. As per WGPC rules, car numbers are allocated by finishing position in WGPC7. New entrants will receive car numbers from 31 onwards.
