Hey, Kanye. Does Lee still have the sponsorships from Auto Realm and Axis? I have all my other car designs, but I do not have one for Lee yet.

Yes, he does. Check your TGs.

I will try to get a course on the sign-up thread, latest by tomorrow, sorry for the delay.

On account of trying to think of a track, but moreso because I have either been busy with work or sleeping excessively.

Posted: **Thu Jun 17, 2021 1:43 pm**

Is there a car signup as well?

Oh gawd, this went horribly wrong. Never ever try to give a deadline... :/

As far as I am concerned, NSSCRA technically does not have teams like WGP2; a lot of the teams' drivers (and thus the cars) are from your own country, or with the case of Sherpa-Abanhfleft, or others I might have missed out, you can borrow a character from another country to race for your team.

So whatever you do here, it's up to you in terms of RP bonus. Another player's team won't affect you - positively or otherwise.

Updated my app with a course. Please do advise and let me know if the length is going to be trouble.

Posted: **Fri Jun 18, 2021 5:51 am**

Laka: You can even make up an empty team and sign all foreigners.

Ain't even a first - last season, Newmanistani team Rocket Motorsports had only a Sherpa and a Turorian driver in the main tier.

Val: I personally see no problem with it. Even though the track is big (because everything is bigger in ~~Texas~~ Valentine Z), there are fewer laps than usual.

I've tried my best to accurately emulate the ASC into this series. If any issues, please let me know.

Sword Island wrote:(Just figured I would get the tracks out of the way first)

Brisbane International Raceway- returning back for the NSSCRA 11 season, the track promises to be a fun track for both the fans and drivers alike. Last season, Taylor Henderson spun Sage Caldwell entering the International Hairpin, etching NSSCRA into the history books of the track. What will be the next moment frozen in time forever in the lore of the raceway?

Fredericksburgh Fairgrounds Speedway- one of Sword Island's oldest and most iconic venues, the Madhouse is a odd track due both to the racing surface and geometry of the track. The racing surface, with the exception of the top lane, is made up of concrete and races similarly in most weather conditions. The top lane however is made up of ground up asphalt to create a 'grip strip' and encourages multi groove racing early on in a tire run. However stay up top too long and you'll wear your tires far faster than if you ran on the concrete. There is debate as whether or not to use a grip agent to rubber in the top concrete lane. The layout of the track is also a huge draw to fans, as the unique sets of corners pose two entirety different challenges. The first set of corners are narrow and highly banked, creating opportunities for the classic short track bump and run on the bottom line. Turns 3 and 4 however are wide and have very little banking, leading to several lines developing as riding the asphalt cushion or sliding up the track are both fast ways to get around. All in all, Fredericksburgh is a track that can satisfy the needs of any race fan

Good to see you back, but you should include lap times and stuff.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can only have a maximum of three full-timers in the top tier, right? Because Sword Island has the 05, 35, 90 and 24 right now.

I mean if they were split amongst two nations they'd be fine.

Come of it... Is the signup 3 total, or three per tier?

Posted: **Tue Jun 22, 2021 4:59 am**

Can't be the former, given I had three main tier drivers and two second tier drivers last season, and will stick to them again this season.

There might not be teams in the structured way a WGPC or F1 team would. They wouldn’t all have the same liveries. There wouldn’t be a team order or priority on a particular driver. But there could and actually seems there ARE teams more in the terms of NASCAR today. For example something like Joe Gibbs racing or Roush is when an owner buys a few cars, hires drivers and gets them individual sponsors. It is definitely up to RP, one could easily bring cars from different organizations like that or even have them all individually owned.

I’ve had my car company bring a team, but it was more like a stock car team… Just run by the factory, but more as general owners and sponsors.. As opposed to a centralized operation. Just something to ponder. There definitely are teams at least in a different sense compared to the WGPC.

With Sword Island using #05 and V&T taking #41, I'm willing to give up #19 so she could still have one of her preferred numbers.

Pyotr Lavrentiev will move to #22.

Signups, for guaranteed spots in the main series, will be closing tomorrow (Sunday) at 9pm EDT.

The driver list, listed in the second post of the signup thread, is current as of right now. Please look it over and point out any errors you see, whether major or a typo of a name. Also, if you have questions about why a driver has or does not have a charter, or to swap a charter, this is also the time to ask.

I don't see my open charter signup in the list.

No props here, just a generic question.

Currently, on my count, we have about 32 confirmed charter drivers as it stands. If this holds until signups close, will the auto-bids increase to nearly 40 and, if that is the case, how will the extra spots be determined?

I'm not worried about anything, I'm just intrigued.

Mine neither, but I think it's because mine has no set name or number yet. But we all know it's gonna be Lav and/or Daryl.

Did Jolyn not get her spot because I posted too many drivers across the puppets, or was it because there are too many drivers this time around in the guaranteed charter?

I did remember her getting a charter back in NSSCRA 10, though only because someone CTE'd.

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 11:52 am**

1) Filindostan open charter driver added.
2) Saint Kanye open charter not formally listed as no name or number was provided.
3) G6MR only has one open charter to begin the season as Jolyn was not in the top 20 of the points. Holly Starlight was listed first, so charter given to her!

I will be expanding from the top 20 to the top 25 in last year's standings, first.

I see, thanks! I can still work with that. ^^;
