Just figured out a way to make the data from my spreadsheet copy directly into the forum without the need to spend time with formatting the tables. The final results won't look exactly like the xkoranate results, but it does the job. This should cut down a bit on scorination time and hopefully get it under an hour.

How many laps was the 500? I noticed St Kanye said 143 but I was gonna say 200.

(This is why we need more detailed track signups)

I've so far gone with 188, since that's how long a Talladega race is. (A 56 second lap time is far too long for Daytona, and I guess Talladega too, but there isn't much better available.)

[Hapilopper]

Doing some calculations, if a 500-mile race is 143 laps, the track is somewhere in the neighborhood of 3.5 miles long.

I don't know how Kai Qiang could have been behind Jenie if that incident happened on lap 1. In qualifying Qiang was 10th and Jenie was 54th.

I didn't say which lap it happened on in my RP, but I was picturing it several laps into the race near the end of segment 1. This would allow time for Qiang to get most of a lap ahead of Jenie (and get caught in that wreck while trying to lap him) or Jenie to advance from the position he started and pass Qiang before crashing.

I edit it to lone up more with what you had in mind

I think it's Pocono

Looking back, you already asked this question.

Newmanistan isn't Tundra Falls just a clone of Pocono?

Not at all. It should be considered a large superspeedway like Daytona. One with other sporting venues in the infield.

He probably has "Pocono" stuck in his head because Newmanistan has a city and a puppet with Pocono-related names.

[Xanneria]

Never saw that he replied to me, sorry.

The Proving Grounds is indeed a 3.5 mile superspeedway. It's intended to be a very large facility, there is a lot of stuff it has to fit in the infield! My record lap time is a bit fast for that, and should be slightly over a minute, but I did that for (what I thought would be) scorination convenience at the time (but really didn't matter), and once its set in stone, its set in stone.

I apologize that I haven't actually mentioned the track distance in a while. I do think Xanneria has a good point and the amount of laps for each race should be noted.

West and East. Think I created North and South too. Even won a Baptism of Fire with West Pocono!
Our Pocono-like track is in, wait for it... Pocono City.

I'll try to post before my races to remind people of any relevant track info, including this, but in case I forget, it should be 190 laps in Guilin and 200 in Jusenkyo.

That's a very nice tool. I think I am going to link that in future signup posts, actually. Thank you.

That time isn't excessively too fast, then, given the size of the track. It's just "sort of" too fast.

Definitely useful. Figuring out appropriate lap times is something I've struggled with.

Currently writing a post introducing my team's new paint schemes, as well as giving one of my charters from Joseph Rawlings to Ben Carpenter for the rest of the season.

Involved in the post will be pictures of the cars with their new paint jobs- for those who take pictures as well, here's the files.

*Paint schemes courtesy of Saint Kanye, with minor edits done by myself.

David Rockingham - #82 Winters Corporate Pontiac (charter #1)
https://ufile.io/3phewent

Joseph Rawlings - #83 Halifax Motors Pontiac (qualify-in)
https://ufile.io/wq0osw9u

Ben Carpenter - #84 Revonix Tire Company Pontiac (charter #2)
https://ufile.io/ipi4qp84

Elio Aaron - #85 Atlas Pontiac (Aurora MP open charter, may use open charter for other races if there is no competition)
https://ufile.io/gkrd4jxi

-Additionally, the race at Aurora will be the Atlas 500. When the time comes, for those who want to take pictures of the event, the track is Denver Motorsports Park by Action Packed Tracks.

4. Dinggu Wang (SHW) - #79 Chripy Chhuprri (unknown model) --- 26pts

This should be Chirpy Chhurpi TMW

[Cassadaigua]

I would put the Five Star Mobile 500 in the top five, but I am biased. Five Star Mobile only sponsors the Concord Heights race though, not the upcoming one. I will announce the sponsor and more specifics in a RP that I should post later today.

I was actually thinking about who would sponsor the bonus for winning the crown jewels and I thought of Five Star because it’s in the name.

I love this idea, and am going to run with it a bit in a RP.

For the TMW I used a TVR template,but rebranded it.

Fixed it. The mistake had been made due to the paint scheme in NR2003 unfortunately saying "Chripy Chhuprri" instead. I didn't question it.

[Vilita and Turori]

I guess drivers could have pink spoilers on the cars for the Five Star Combo events if they are part of the Five Star 5

[Esmerel]

i guess so

For clarity's sake, the Five Star Combo races are (or will probably be)

-Tundra Falls 500, Tundra Falls (no winner, but the top 5 qualify for the next event)
-Tropicorp 500, Tropicoast Beach
-Pencurve Electronics 500, Jalton
-Vilaye Energy Drink 314, VMCC
-Five Star Mobile 500, Concord Heights

edit: now I realize that's very, VERY tightly packed. Maybe this one, space it out more.

Version 2:

-Tundra Falls 500
-Cocoabo Preservation 300K
-Tropicorp 500
-Pencurve Electronics 500
-Five Star Mobile 500

Pink spoilers are a great idea for all times, but even more so for this.

Please note the RP I just posted and the announcement from Five Star Mobile!

[Vilita and Turori]

The races are already decided...

We have identified five races that we feel are naturals to be a part of this clash. The first race is the already completed Tundra Falls 500. Naturally, we will also include the Five Star Mobile 500. The two other races we have discussed and want to include in this are the Vilaye Energy Drink 314, and the Pencurve Electronics 500. Vilaye has been a great sponsor for the series, and Pencurve Electronics has been a great sponsor as well. We hope that, although there is no work required of them, both Vilaye and Pencurve do not object to their inclusion. Pencurve Electronics is a competitor in the mobile market, but has a more expansive line then we do. Our companies have been able to co-exist in the sport without problem, so I do not anticipate their becoming one. As for the fifth race, we chose the Tropicorp 500, due to the uniqueness of the beach course.” When pressed for more details, a winner of all five races will win $10,000,000. Four out five gets $3,000,000, and three out of five gets $2,000,000. Therefore, there is still time for people other then Skip Stiller to get something out of it. Stiller will be hoping for the big check. Further monies can be earned if the top five from the prior race win the next one, to the tune of $1,000,000.

I think the spacing of them is good. You obviously can't skip out on Tundra Falls but then once we get 'into them' they will start coming faster and faster and it will build up in an exciting way.
