World Grand Prix Organization: OOC Discussion Thread

[Commonwealth of Baker Park]

I know I've gone over the word limit, so I'm trying to keep my driver oriented posts to a minimum.

This gonna be harder than it looks, I can be rather wordy when I get on a roll.

[Sierra Grand]

Let's get these races started! Also, testing on the team's drivers show they are pretty close to each other in stats.

Is there a picture of what Deyoze tyres look like somewhere? I would love to have them for my livery, blank tyres look a bit too... blank and Pirelli looks a bit immersion-ruining.

Alternatively, I could edit Pirelli tyres by replacing the text with Deyoze, but I don't want to take too much liberty with a brand owned by someone else (Unless Hodori doesn't mind...?)

Apologies for taking so long on this.

Here's the tyre sidewall markings in white, though it may not fit perfectly on the templates used.

[Sierra Grand]

Forgive me if I'm not seeing something, but I don't think someone can run a 1 hour 15 minutes lap

The time you see in the final results is the total time of the race (of the leader) and below it is the gap from (or to, depending on perspective) the leader.

Oh ok, for a second I thought they talked about final lap

maybe I should go read through the OP closer, but for the non-championship races--the one driver change per season rule applies, or doesn't? (if I wanted my reserve driver in one of the cars, is that allowed b/c no points, not 'official?')

Yes, I'll follow the same rule as per last WGPC –

Up to a maximum of one per team and four in total (first come first served), teams may opt to temporarily replace one of their two current drivers with an existing free agent driver (i.e. no driver already signed, including to Motorworks) for the two non-championship races without counting towards the one driver change allowed per season.

Such drivers will start from the back of the grid.

Teams taking up this offer should do this in an RP, with the driver change bolded.

Jordan Crowe would count as an "existing free agent driver".

Here's our updated Spotters' Guide. Hope it's useful to some of you.

[Diarcesia]

How does the word limit apply during the non-championship races? Does it reset after each event?

Yes.

[Sorlovia]

I'd planned to take part in WGP2 but got distracted with life. Looking forward to the next WGPC season!

You could still sign up a driver and take part in the last two races of the WGP2 season. I might plan to drop my driver in the team as I have currently no RP inspiration as of late.

Considering putting together a more regional (specifically Esportiva) based WGP3 series, to account for interest in the region from nations that don't have enough capacity (IC or OOC) to run a series of their own. Obviously, this would not be official or overtake any current Esportivan based national series. What is the general feeling on this from the community? Also, as a more practical matter, is WGP3 generally a spec series?

I would not mind, and personally for me, I would like to participate. The only unfortunate thing is that I don't have a nation in Esportiva anymore, and the one in AO is - Alanis Star, shares the same lore with Valentine Z. :/

Please be advised today's cutoff will be an hour earlier than listed here, at no later than 17:30 UTC. Apologies for the late notice.

[Aboveland]

If cutoff is at 20:30 tonight, I could really use an extra 5 minutes.

[Liventia]

To have a season in which a maximum of 420 points were on offer come down to the top 3 being separated by 10 points is remarkable. Thanks for taking part.

[Featherstonehaugh Cholmondeley]

Thank you Liventia for a very well run season.

[Commonwealth of Baker Park]

yes, thank for an excellent series. I really enjoyed my first time out in NS motorsports.

[Chromatika]

I would also like to thank Liventia for a well-run tournament. This was my first foray into motorsports and a memorable one.

[Diarcesia]

Cheers Liventia. Thanks for hosting an excellent event.

[Tumbra]

Thank you Liventia for hosting WGP2 S4! You've been a brilliant host. Thanks to everyone in the community too who made my debut season such a special one.

[TJUN-ia]

GGs on a good season and thanks obviously go to Liventia as hosts.

Now, I have to get better - that's the only way I can cope.
