Surprised that the AM class in the Porsche Supercup counts to be honest.

How exactly is this going to work, what sort of format will it be run in?

by Ax4x Chaddy Sat 13 Oct 2012 - 9:52

Well its alot like the Real ROC, drivers take each other on the track, going different ways then come back to the start/finish line then have to do a FULL 180 spin with ALL FOUR wheels crossing the line and then race back to the line again to see who wins (so your basically doing 2 full laps). As far as im most assists are off, and think off the top of my head on are left on. Would like to see ALL assists off but thats Chuckys call.

The cars that will be used will be kept under wraps untill at least the end of our 2012 racing season.

Champion drivers will be 1st asked if they can attend then the Enduro winners and then finally the winners, till we have 32 drivers all comfirmed. Then the most likely event would be to pull names out of a hat for doing the draws. Chucky (and myself) would like to see this done over a live podcast!!

oh and its ghosts so you wont crash into each other as you cross the line!

This is last years table

and this is a grid of how the laps work

BG Chucky 82 wrote:Both cars will line up on the starting line facing each other on the starting grid. When the race timer reaches 1.00secs. Both cars will then race around the track one going the forward way and one going the reverse way. When you reach the start finish line you will have to turn your car around making sure all 4 wheels go across the start/finish line then go back around the track in the opposite way.

So you will have to have gone round the track in both ways to complete 1 lap.

So in basic.

Cross the start line going forward round track, cross the start line after that lap turn round the car and then cross the start line to head in the reverse way around the track cross the finish line to finish the race this will be classed as one lap.

In the heats and quarter finals there will only be one race to advance to the next round.
In the semi finals, you will have to complete 2 laps (forward, back, forward, back) and only one race.
In the finals, you will have to compete in 2 laps and best out of 3 races to become the champion.
There will also be a shoot out race for third and forth place what will be 1 race 2 laps.

(Car shown will not be a car for this year) This is classed as 1 lap.

Should get some real close racing with the cars for this year.

Once again this is last years stuff for info

by Ax4x Chaddy Sat 13 Oct 2012 - 10:09

Ah last year where i really screwed myself over! but man it was fun, Ben was on fire! Hope I can make it 4 TROCs in a row this year!

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Sat 13 Oct 2012 - 10:18

If Dan wins again next years event will be called the "Race of ATR Dan"

by Ax4x Chaddy Sat 13 Oct 2012 - 10:26

It would be something if Dan pulled off again but theres lots of very quick drivers who could spice it up. Id love it if we can pull of 32 drivers racing in the event might become a long night but we'll have 1 lobby racing while another is having fun and relaxing before they race. Think the cars could stock a few drivers like last year!

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Sat 13 Oct 2012 - 20:08

I will be online this evening, if anyone would like to have a test for this event send me a message

Sorry for taking so long to get back. AM and Pro are different classes like in ISCC having P1 and P2 they have there own championship and own winners so they get in, its a chance for the little guys to get in the big spot light and who knows cause some upset too by beating someone lol. The competition has stepped up big time this year, would you believe I have been able to take part in this in the last two years as a race winner and a champion due to low attendance and not alot of fast drivers

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Mon 29 Oct 2012 - 9:36

Its nearly the end of the month so updates applied. Last two rounds of ISCC and JR TCC added and the last round of GT added.

Only 8 events left now

just an idea, if you haven't gotten the cars picked yet, why not choose cars from the manufacturer champions from this year??

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Sun 4 Nov 2012 - 15:16

We have pretty much picked the cars and they will be revealed in the coming weeks

by Ax4x Chaddy Sun 4 Nov 2012 - 15:38
