DTM 2011 Season - Mini Championship, 15th December

[Jamezinho]

(Martin Tomczyk livery by xX SworB Xx)

Thursday 15th December, 9pm​

I'm looking to host a DTM mini-championship next Thursday. This will be more of a simulation event, with points scoring, longer races, pitstops and some assists banned.

THE CARS:

The race night will use the two cars from the DTM 2011 season:

2011 Audi A4 Touring Car (#02,#03,#04,#05 or #06) - PI R2 833
2008 Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class Touring Car - PI R2 834

Both cars are identically specced according to the DTM regulations and require no further modification.

** Cars must be left stock, including the wheels **

LIVERIES - *PLEASE READ*

The only requirement is that all cars must use a 2011 season livery available from the storefront. Just search 'DTM 2011 + driver name'.

The list of 2011 season drivers is here:

http://www.dtm.com/fahrer-liste.php?lang=en

For instance, I will be using #7 Jamie Green AMG Mercedes. Be aware that the Audi liveries are locked to each specific numbered car.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP SCHEDULE:

The mini-championship will take place over five rounds as follows:

Round Circuit Layout Laps
1 Hockenheimring National 8
2 Silverstone National 12
3 Nurburgring GP Short 8
4 Catalunya National 10
5 Hockenheimring Full 8

I've opted for shorter tracks so that more laps can be run to better facilitate pit-stops. If you're wondering why Hockenheim is on there twice I've gone for authenticity as the real season starts and finishes there!

CHAMPIONSHIP RULES:

- Drivers must make one mandatory pit-stop each race. This can be done at any time apart from the final lap i.e. a driver must not cross the finish line in the pits. Failure to pit will lead to a full points deduction for that race.

- Grid order will be decided on lobby points, placing the fastest drivers at the front.

- Good racing etiquette is expected. No deliberate crashing and using other cars as brakes. No weaving to block an attempted overtake - one defensive move is allowed. Stay within the white line when leaving the pit lane. If you are lapped do not race the faster car, let them through.

POINTS SCORING:

The official DTM points system will be used:

1st = 10
2nd = 8
3rd = 6
4th = 5
5th = 4
6th = 3
7th = 2
8th = 1

ASSISTS:

ABS, TCS and STM will be disallowed for this race night. However racing line, auto transmission and normal steering modes are permitted.

Sign up if you want to take part!

Yep

 

[Sebastalona]

Tuesdays and Thursdays are problematic for me as my wife works late. My kids are normally good at going to bed to allow me to get the wheel set up in time, but there are never any guarantees!!

Please put me down provisionally JZ, I'll get a car ready and hopefully be able to attend.

 

[Jamezinho]

Ok. I can always do the Wednesday if that's better for everyone.

 

[mattg]

I would like a merc please, I don't know any driver liveries so can you recommend one? Something bold

I thought you'd go for the Playboy A4 of Edoardo Mortara.

David Coulthard's Merc is bright yellow as you can see from my Brands Hatch photos:

or there is Ralf Schumacher's Salzgitter Merc:

I can give you or anyone else some pointers to some good liveries.

So do we have to do the cars up like the actual ones the drivers drive?

All you have to do is go to the storefront -> buy designs, put in the car make and model and search keyword 'DTM 2011 Couthard'. They cost a few thousand credits to buy but it's as simple as that. I've got a Couthard livery that I can give you a link to.

[nick501]

[Jamezinho]

Yeah sure, adjust the set up however you want.

 

[mattg]

[Jamezinho]

I think they are 1.2m off the top of my head.

 

[aphex232]
