Porsche Supercup Rules and Regulations

MSA TORA Porsche Supercup

Between August 28th and September 18th the TORA Porsche Supercup will take place. This series will see the first instance of us implementing a PRO and AM split in the category.

The PRO and AM split will be decided by a qualification night on Tuesday the 28th. Everyone will take part in the PRO class car and will compete throughout three timed races around three different tracks. Then the split will be made as evenly as possible. Everyone will get 10 minutes to set their fastest lap around each track, and collisions will be off throughout.

Then for four straight weeks, running September 4th through to September 25th, the racing of the Porsche Supercup will take place. The PRO class will use same PRO cars from the Qualification night, and the AM cars will us ethe older spec GT3 Cup car. Please find the builds of each car below.

Stock tunes (more emphasis on driving), or tuning is required ?

Tuning is allowed.

is there anyway to start off in AM right off the bat even if i do the qualifying, i would feel alot more comfortable starting out in the lower class seeing as im an amateur and know my driving skills aren't those of many of the top guys on here.

Thanks.

nope every 1 will be equal every 1 qualis in the pro car we go from there

No, but if what you're saying is correct, then you will get some close racing with people of similar skill level as there are a wide range on racers here on TORA...

sounds good..i shall pick up the Pro car today and start practicing with it!

You wanna make things interesting? For qualifying do not allow tuning. This will show where the drivers belong, PRO or AM. I know where I'll be but it would be nice to take tuning out of the equation......... thats all I'm saying.

Then you can't have the wide tyres and uprated brakes and driveline though...

"Allow Upgrades" and "Allow Tuning" are separate options.

No they're not. You can either "Force stock upgrades and tuning, On/Off".

Can't it be done where the 750 PI is allowed but changing tire pressure, downforce, gearing, etc. is not allowed?

DeweyTee wrote:Can't it be done where the 750 PI is allowed but changing tire pressure, downforce, gearing, etc. is not allowed?

Should be do-able but you can't, as Beanz said, you cant separate tuning and upgrades.

no tuning is allowed all the time

Rules added about Number box/Window banner.

tl;dr - No boxes, TORA supplied banner.

Can a PRO and AM driver be in the same team?

I vote for allowing tuning... 760 pi and the Same cup car for all...

Her's two more ideas from the old phart:

1. Swap the PI's... give the 724 car to the PRO guys

2. Everyone drives the same car, PRO gets a 5 sec delay from AM.
PRO guys will still catch us, then have to work traffic.

??????? Comments

will the windshield banner be distributed ?

Not sure what you posted is even in English, but I think I agree with it.

Teams can be in AM and PRO but as I said before there is not a teams championship.


CAR PI WILL REMAIN WHAT THEY ARE NOW

It was just a discussion, didn't expect anything to change. "Gee whiz", I'm sorry if I upset anyone.......
