Forza 2 Scoobynet Championship Racing
 
Who is interested in some international Scoobnet championship action??

Initial race idea - Ideas welcome :)

Fortnightly event
- 6 races over different size circuits meaning this championship is for 3mths
- win points
- chosen class entries per event
- custom cars welcome
- handicap system implemented to level playing field - ideas?? how about
tyres?? aero dynamics?? car class points??

Qualifying TT session
- First xx no. days before final race
- top qualifiers win points - maybe on touring cars??

final race - win pts
- points system same as F1 i.e. first 10pts, second 8pts etc
- race over 20+ laps
- least 1 pits stop
- might require multi tier race depending on number of drivers - top 1-8 TT'ers in one race, 9-16 in second race etc

sounds like a great idea :D I'd be up for that.

Handicap system could be like touring cars where the top drivers get a penalty weight. You could work this by making the top drivers have a max car PI.

So everyone would start with C class 550. Winner of the first race would have to reduce the car th C 540 for the next round.

Great idea mate :thumb:

Although this finally happened to mine yesterday after letting a hired driver do an endurance race (was 5 laps from finishing)...

I didn't think to look at the power supply before resetting it though.
It plays ok for the time being (on short races anyway).

Fantom 18 July 2007 01:11 PM

I'll be up for it

RB5-Black 18 July 2007 01:12 PM

red lights no good :(

n one 18 July 2007 01:37 PM

I`ll give it a go, happy to go along with whatever.

But I must warn you, I am fast, very fast :rolleyes:

Sounds like a great idea.

As anyone can enter the TT, slow numpties like me can join in and if we get good enough qualify for the races!

DVDDEVIL 19 July 2007 11:09 AM

I'll give it a go too

RB5-Black 19 July 2007 02:06 PM

Now we seem too have the numbers .... how about sticking some of the details down ?

Car class ? My thoughts would be B or C class ? hows about Mugello short as a started track. We all know it and should have a setup/car for that event.

messiah 19 July 2007 03:15 PM

Personally, I think B & C class are a bit too pedestrian. I'd go for any car so long as it does not exceed the A class PI rating.

RichardS2005 19 July 2007 03:29 PM

Looks like I'm going to have to get a wheel!

RB5-Black 19 July 2007 03:39 PM

don't you think it would make for better racing in slower cars rather than anything faster. I only said B/C because you would get closer races ?

Neanderthal 19 July 2007 04:01 PM

I agree with the slower cars = closer racing. Deffo not S, U or racing cars.

messiah 19 July 2007 04:17 PM

Lately, me and my clan mates have been limiting ourselves to same car races - quite often the F430 race car and doing about 10 laps of Suzuka or Laguna Seca - you'd be suprised at the closeness of the racing, we had one where 5 of us crossed the finish line seperated by about 2 secs and fastest laps with half a sec covering us all.

Slower class cars tend to highlight peoples tuning abilty rather thab driving.

Not saying there's anything wrong with slower class racing at all, I just find that faster cars tend to get the blood pumping a bit more.

RB5-Black 19 July 2007 05:42 PM

a one make championship could be a good idea

the big yim 19 July 2007 06:15 PM

Im up for this too.

Gamername THEBIGYIM

God, Ill lose :)

Bravo2zero_sps 19 July 2007 07:03 PM

I'm in as well, definately agree with the idea of same car racing even just for 1 round to try it and see what its like. Would it be suiting to start with an all Scoob round of racing?

fritz 20 July 2007 11:08 AM

I'd be up for this. I've only just recently got the game so i'd be pretty crap against some of the more experienced among you.

Nametag MJFREETH (if i can recall correctly).

I assume we are talking evening racing here?

WRX_Dazza 20 July 2007 11:16 AM

guys, we are doing this in the Essex section.

Started off with Ford Focus (up to 600 PI)
made for interesting racing!!!!

the more heats, the leveller the playing field...

leave collisions on though ;)

enjoy

Dazza :)

Fritz... It usually starts off as evening, but ends up into the early hours!!!! - believe me!!

RB5-Black 21 July 2007 07:26 AM

700pi any scooby you like (not the R4 one)

Sounds good to me :thumb: When? I haven't raced on line for weeks and have withdrawal symptoms!

RB5-Black 21 July 2007 09:12 AM

I'm at work so I'm out until next weekend anyway. I'm sure you guys will get this setup and running before I join in :)

Andy T 21 July 2007 10:41 AM

Xbox has died :cry:

Gonna have to sit these out for a while :mad:
Was so looking forward to some real racing not this boring ole TT stuff :lol1:

Neanderthal 21 July 2007 10:52 AM

Must be something in the Northampton electricity Andy! :(

Mine has come back to life, although when playing this morning it froze up again. Waiting till it completely dies before phoning up MS.
Really not looking forward to being without it for 25 days! :(

Neanderthal 22 July 2007 01:04 PM

Here's my 700PI Scoobynet Champ Class Scooby all ready to roll :D

RB5-Black 22 July 2007 01:26 PM

Nice :)

I'll get a car together when I get home ... I think my S204 is setup to B700 as it stands :cool:

JackClark 22 July 2007 02:55 PM
