GPG Nations Cup Rules.

Joining the GPGNC

Joining is easy, simply state the fact that you wish to join in the thread, and you will be added to the reserve list. You will gain a seat only after your car and helmet have been painted, your number has been chosen, and your driver has been annouced. After that you will be allocated a slot as and when they become available, in the order of the reserve list.

The Teams

-The championship will consist of 22 teams. Each team must be themed on a valid nation of the world as per the owner’s choice. Multiple cars of the same nation are not allowed.
-Any slots filled will be offered to existing participants to enter a second team, to be withdrawn when there is a new user. If they are still not filled, ghost teams are used.

The Drivers

-The Driver names are a free choice. These names can be whatever you wish within reason, nothing too silly or offensive

Carshapes

-The carshapes are now decided by the most popular suggestion of all those involved. Depending on the community the shape will change from season to season.
-A maximum of 2 carshapes may be allowed, and must be of similar proportions.
-S3 Carshape: SMD-09a
Link to car: here
Link to presentation kit: here
Lint to helmet: here

Liveries

-The livery of each car should be relevant to the nation the car represents.
-All cars should have the nations country labelled on the rear wing.
-Nothing regarded as offensive should be painted on the cars.
-Sponsorship is allowed and should be from the Nation provided unless is the case of manufacturers when this does not matter.
-Driver numbers are made by choice with number's 1,2,3 given to participants who finished in said position in the previous season. A participant with a certain number may choose the keep the number, after which numbers are chosen on a first come first serve basis
-Helmet liveries may contain any design and sponsorship asides from tobacco.
-Tobacco sponsorship is NOT allowed, as some countries do not allow images to be uploaded that contain tobacco advertising.

Race Weekend

-Qualifying shall be 30 minutes in length, 22 cars on the track, 4 laps of fuel per stint with a maximum of 16 laps.
-Race distance shall be set to 66% of full race distance, with 2 mandatory pit stops per race.
-If a driver does not complete both pitstops, penaltys may be used to correct any erroneus result. The penalty will be based on track positions, length of pitstop to make sure the driver receives a penalty reflecting his overall gain in the race as every track is different and therefore the penalties need to reflect this.

Points

-The current points system awards teams who finish between 1st and 10th. The points are spread like so:
1st - 12
2nd - 10
3rd - 8
4th - 7
5th - 6
6th - 5
7th - 4
8th - 3
9th - 2
10th - 1

Pole Position - 1
Fastest Lap - 1

-Points are awarded to top 10 drivers, regardless of whether all 10 finish. Classification for retiree's is the classification GP4 provides.
-DNF does not remove either fastest lap or pole position point


Car Performance

-Each car will have the same performance, set using the performance file – 850bhp, 1500 reliability. This is constant for all seasons since teams share cars on the performance file then we could only implement it if people scored identical points.
-A variance value of 500 is used for every driver.

Driver Performance

-Each driver will be given a base performance of 16000 for races, and 17000 for qualifying.
-The team owner is given a ‘budget’ of 8500 points.
-The team owner may allocate some of these extra points to the qualifying and race performances, up to a maximum of 500 each (ie, the absolute max performance is 16500 for races, and 17500 for qualifying). This limit is imposed in order to prevent runaway races.
-Boost deadlines open as soon as qualifying for the previous race has been posted. These windows then shut 5 days after the previous race has been posted.
-Performance allocations CAN be changed before the deadline falls, but the last known choice before the deadline closes will be the used one.
-Each performance file containing the boost shall be posted before qualifying commences. If errors are found and a session has already been run, a rerun may be called upon to correct the erroneus result.
-Any team which enters mid-way through the season receives (race's remaining x 500) boost points. Ie if 11 races remain the team receives 11x500=5500 boost points
-At the end of the season the position in the championship you finish comes with a point’s reward that carries over. This will be altered as seasons pass to help newbies
These points are added on the the performance budget total for each manager. For example, season 1 finish = 1st, season 2 budget = 8600.
Points Stay with that manager, so if said manager chooses to change nation, the points gained still remain.
-If a participant leaves, they keep their current boost amount. If they are kicked/disappear, they get reset to 0.

It is as follows:

1 = 100
2 = 85
3 = 75
4 = 67
5 = 60
6 = 54
7 = 49
8 = 45
9 = 41
10 = 37
11 = 33
12 = 29
13 = 26
14 = 23
15 = 20
16 = 18
17 = 16
18 = 14
19 = 13
20 = 12
21 = 11
22 = 10

Activity
-Activity rules are to be brought in to promote activity.
-Activity windows are to be introduced. This window will extend from one boost announcement message to the next, in order to accurately reflect a race window.
-Punishments shall be issued after a certain number of windows missed:
1st window missed: 50/50 quali/race penalty
2nd window missed: 100/100 quali/race penalty
3rd window missed: 250/250 quali/race penalty + slot open to other users
-If no user takes a slot after a 3rd window is missed, a penalty of 250/250 is applied until the slot is filled.
-Holiday notice can be given, but must be declared on the thread in advance. Either an end or length of the holiday period must be given, but length leaves space for interpretation.
-A user who has declared a holiday may submit boosts for the races they will potentially miss.

Currently posting boost counts as activity, although if too many start only submitting boost and not commenting, then it the rules will change.

And on that note everyone can now officially reveal everything for S3!

A few rule changes i would like everyone to note.
First up the activity rule, if people severely disagree this can be changed before seasons starts, but at its current level i feel its fair.
Secondly, there are 4 slots free. Anyone who wishes to take on a second team may do so, but you must submit all required effects to the GPG Nations Cup Account. These include country, number, driver name, helmet and car livery. Also note that as Ruben is the mod maker, he may have limits on certain aspects depending on how far he is along. Second teams are not awarded a calendar race.

And the calendar is online in the first post, so take a look :)

Cool, a nice fresh thread. :)

Hopefully, as Spain we can make a real challenge for the title. We've been on the periphery of the top 5 for two seasons now, so we've gotta push hard this season.

OK it seems that i can race with a second team.

As i choose New Zealand i need someone to make a very simple car and helmet livrery.

The car should be based on a A1Gp car with the same main sponsor, with the number 4 on it and the helmet could be a plain black. Can someone help me with these two things?

The car:

The driver name will Denny Mclaren (a tribute to Denny Hulme and Bruce Mclaren, two New Zealand drivers :))

If allowed, Team France would like to claim #4 as their car number, given that is where we did finish on the Season 2 standings. We do acknowledge that we previously said we would like #4, then said we would take #9.....LOL
But, if we can take #4, that would be cool........:-)

Ok, thanks! Paint job has been updated here, with new number slapped on. Will get a psd uploaded and a PM sent to Ruben....
(have had ZERO spare time on the computer in the past few months, with a new baby boy in the house to take care of - but he and mother are out for a while, so daddy got some spare time to himself to paint and drink a few beers! WOOHOOO!) (B)

I did ask to use the number 4 in the first place...

I don't mind to use another number if the team slots change every race... Since last season it was awful with my slot.

Hmm sorry x_acto, I completely forgot... But would you be happy to choose another number? Teams slots won't move around but I don't think that will cause too many problems.

Yes rod brazil have retired, so you may take them. Please submit a track and send your liveries in. You and Monaco and new Zealand will be added when I return :) (I'm away til the 8th)
