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-Any slots filled will be offered to existing participants to enter a second team, to be withdrawn when there is a new user.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.
-S4 Carshape: SMD-09a
Link to car: here
Link to presentation kit: here
Lint to helmet: here

S5 CART carshape: [www.mediafire.com]
Preview package: [www.mediafire.com]

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.

Team China

Team China, with their driver Cheng Tung, will be back with the #14 for Season 4. Our nominated track will be Shanghai International Circuit, China.

*Edit* Just saw that China has had other race tracks, but not sure if any of them have been made yet for GP4. If any of them have indeed be made for GP4, then my nominated track may change depending on which tracks are available.

Brazil will be back after team Mexico have bought the name last year, after a great season we are going to win the championship this season

Our nominated track will be Jacarepagua, Brazil

---

Korea will go with Aida, Japan for our track, does someone know if the south korean circuit was made by someone?

Team Portugal

Our nation choose the Portimão track for this season.

-----------------------------------------------------

Nice Warsteiner car.

My Grand Prix 4 Files
I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

Team France will be back. As for our home race, we shall have a think : where have we not been yet?

---

GPGSL Team Owner Debut - Melbourne, Season 8 - present
GPGSL Test Debut - Hungary, Season 4. GPGSL Race Debut - Adelaide, Season 5.

Monaco will be there. Nice to see the new season launched.

Glen, french tracks made for GP4 are the followings if I don't forget anyone :

- Magny-Cours
- Dijon-Prenois
- Le Mans Bugatti
- Le Mans Petite Sarthe
- Le Castellet
- Pau

There are also Rouen and Reims that are WIP so we can't count on them.

I would suggest to not take Pau as it is a little Monaco and will bring the same kind of race.
As for Monaco, I would like to nominate Le Castellet if Team France doesn't nominate it. Else it would be Monaco obviously.

---

Finland confirming their position in the competition.
We will nominate Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.


Still, that Germany car looks awesome Kedy

Tobi, that livery is swish mate.

Team GB will be back for Season 4 with the same livery as Season 3.

---

Races: 163 - Wins: 23 - Pole Positions: 24 - Fastest Laps: 22
Season 9: Constructors' Champions

Japan reporting for action! Circuit? Hmmm.... I was going to suggest Tanaka International Aida, but if South Korea take that (although Yeongnam will exist via F1 mods), then ill say Fuji Speedway 2005

---

A Scotsman in Indonesia. A fan of the Far East & all their drivers & an advocate of women in motorsport / GPGNC - S3: Team Philippines, S4/S5: Team Japan, S6: Team Indonesia (S6 runner-up)

I confirm that we'll continue in this season, for now with the same livery.

Not as good as the German car, but here it is our car

---

Nice work with the Brazil and Germany livery. That makes me want to get the livery for China sorted out.

---

Nice car natasp, can you make something like that with my car? Please
