WLMS - R3 and R1 Class Tournament!

World Le Mans Series (WLMS)

We will be racing against other Members/Teams here on FLR.

We will be racing R1 and R3 Classes on Le Mans Tracks and other tracks.

Hopefully we can get this thing started maybe March? We can plan out the dates and times from there.

The Cars you are using must be BONE STOCK and TUNE STOCK!
* That means absolutely NO Tuning or Upgrading your cars.
Just to be clear with some other people who live in different countries! *

YOU ARE REQUIRED USE PAINT ON YOUR CARS WITH YOUR TEAM NAME/GT/DRIVER #!!
If you don't have a paint with your Team Name, GamerTag, and Driver #, you will automatically be disqualified
from the tournament. IF however you are not racing as a team, you may choose to use a team paint to represent
your team, or you can do something totally different, but the GamerTag and Driver # still needs to be on the car.
I don't want to hear or see any whining or complaining about why you were disqualified. You've been warned.

We will be racing two classes; R1 and R3 Classes in the Same Lobby!
Each class is separated in scoring results, but the same scoring for each class.

Q: How do the teams split into two different classes?
A:[/b] If we have 2 teams, we will have two people in a team race the R1 Series
and have another two members from that same team race the R3 Series.
Same goes for the opposing team(s).

For 4 teams, we will have one person from a team race in the R1 Series,
and One Person for R3 Series. Same goes for the opposing team(s).

Sounds like fun CJ. I hope to be in this!

sounds good, though i think that we should be allowed to tune and that you can change the wheels and put race breaks on the cars

I would like for this to be a close racing instead of someone actually going 100K+ miles ahead of everyone else...

I'm in most likely unless some weird race times. Team needs times before they can confirm, so may be independent racer. Time will tell

Im waiting my number to be confirmed and if dates are on weekends u can count on me

Count me in.....PM me the details when we get close to the time...

One thing....I think it might be being lost in translation...

What's BONE Stock setups? This some sorta Americanism? :-)

It says cars must be BONE Stock or Tune Stock............erm what does it mean?!

I was going to run a car i've built up and bought tunes for....does that count?

No, it means the car must be the same as it comes from the dealer, NO upgrades, NO tuning allowed.

Just quick question i don't see the car on list can i use #16 Porsche Spider RS ?

If it's not on the list, I would say no, but that's up to CJ.

Thx Mako yea probably not because its LB car but of all R1 cars it suits my driving style the best but if its not available will find something else

The spyder is my favorite too!

thank you Mako for filling in for me while i was away...

LissArr, like Mako said previously, it means NO Tuning or Upgrades at all.

GGGSpeed, I'll take a look and see if the #16 Porsche Spyder RS is okay in the Le Mans Series. I'll let you know in awhile..

Just remember, if you are in a team, I'd suggest you could talk to your team members to see if they are interested in this tournament at all. If no one in your team is interested, feel free to sign up independently.

Thanks,
CJ

I am interested too CJ. Mako let me know if we'll have some team practices and qualifying events.

You don't have to take these suggestions, but I have a few as I was trying to do a LeMans series for some time:
1. We may want to consider tunes, but locked tunes everyone has to use for a certain car. This may be too challenging, but you may get some cars not participating. Take the #45 Flying Lizard car. Great car, but the base tune in the game is VERY loose and it needs some work. Just a thought to consider.

2. My idea was originally to have the R1 and R3 race at the same time, together on the track. This makes it more true to life. Only downside is there would be 4 cars from each class on the track, so competition is a bit limited, but there would be more action with the speed difference. But you could still have 2 or more lobbies depending on number participating.

3. Since this is LeMans and then technically endurance racing, I think folks should be invested and the races set up for length of time, not laps. Anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours would really give it a feel like endurance.

Again, just some thoughts, and I'll be interested no matter what.

Metzkill, those are good ideas.

To answer some of your ideas:
1. We can try to get some tunes for the cars that people are using, so maybe have some tuners at FLR try to tune them to make them drivable if they happen to have the cars? Good idea, we can talk about it via pm if its something we both can discuss.

2. R1 and R3 classes are running at the same time, just don't remember if I stated that before or not. If not, I'll add it up there.

3. That sounds like a good idea as well.. Maybe do like 45 minutes for the first 5 tracks, and then do 1 1/2 hours on the next 5 tracks?

Thanks for the ideas, we both can definitely talk about this together and try and get this going while it's still in edit mode.

Im interested, though the no tuning thing kinda puts me off

I just said earlier that we may allow tuning, just wait and see, we still have another month of deciding and testing, updating, etc. until we get this final and ready for March.

also i think that the car list needs to be reviewd, the Corvettes you have in there are GT3 corvettes and one of the vipers is GT1 and the other GT3

All sound's great so far....I'm happy either way on the tuning. I'm pretty shocking at tuning so stock cars suit me great. If not i'll go and grab a tune etc from storefront...

Please not the Lizard Porsche though! It's shocking without a decent setup!

I'd be up for this. Just as long as i can get the time at home to do it xD ..
& I'm guessing that it'll be a weekly thing? 10-15 laps on all those tracks seems like a fair ask for one day of racing >.<

You dont have to enter as part of a team do you?

No tuning please. some of us SUUUUUCK at tuning (me) and i can never be super competitive. im more competitive when im using the same car (which would be stock) I normally do very well but most people tune and test and tune and test and i just cant do it.. frowny face. I would love to do R1 class mmmmmmm im better in lower class cars (then S+) buuuut im good in r1 for some reason (i think its my sensitive thumb movement that gets me the win)

Here's the thing with the tuning. With the stock tunes, some of the cars are vastly superior to the others. Cars such as the Flying Lizard, as already mentioned, are difficult to drive stock. The R1 Audi's are great. SO, with no tuning allowed, you may have to find the car that suits your driving style and abilities the best, rather than the car you like.

I don't care either way myself, tuning or no is fine with me. I do think some of the newer members might prefer no tuning though.

Either way i'll still be entering most likely using the 911 or the Ford GT Mk 7

Okay so no Tuning then, final answer, and just take the
flying lizard out and call it done or should we talk about this longer?
