Post by: Phil Thornton on December 21, 2020, 08:00:35 PM +0000
Season 38 – Mixed Open Wheel championship

Please check the Season 38 details (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=1262&theme=6) regarding rules and the Mixed Open Wheel pages (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=1302&theme=6) in particular.

This season, races are to be run at 60fps – please use this patch 60fpsV2newmod (http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=4584#entry33919). If you have issues read festers post (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=12905.msg232771#msg232771).

Drivers must complete 50% of each race to score.

The races will be run as follows:

Car set: 1965 F1, 1966 F1, 1967 F2, 1968 F1 (early) and 1969 F1 Extra.
Date: Every second Tuesday from 19th January 2021

Race Length: 50 minutes
Damage Model:  Intermediate

IMPORTANT
All drivers who enter this series must chose a 'team'. The teams are mainly based on the F1 team, with a few minor changes. Details are shown in the Mixed Open Wheel Series page (see link above). We have created 9 nine groups. The only restriction is that Pro / Works standard drivers cannot select Groups 7, 8 or 9. There is a great deal of choice where some teams had a fairly poor car in some seasons but a much more competitive car in other years. Once you have selected a team / group you must stick with it for the whole season. When voting can you please indicate which team / group you will be driving for.

Lots of Matras this time. We need a few drivers to go for Groups 1 to 4 in order to keep a good variety of cars on the grid. There are some excellent cars amongst them, it would be nice to see some McLarens on the grid.

A brave choice, the 69x races will be tough.

I reminder that montjc69 caused a few disco's, during final pre-release testing, when using 69x mod cars.

I wasn't aware of that. Should we revert to the original Montjuich? We didn't have any problems with that version.


Title: Re: Season 38 Mixed Open Wheel Championship - Registration
Post by: maddog on December 29, 2020, 01:59:11 PM +0000
Without a fix, disco's are a serious possibility.  I've made a much shorter draw distance, but that's a stab in the dark.  69x carries a heavy graphics load.  V1 is your safer bet unless a fix comes first.


Title: Re: Season 38 Mixed Open Wheel Championship - Registration
Post by: Phil Thornton on December 29, 2020, 02:08:17 PM +0000
OK, we'll have to swap to v1. I wouldn't want to change tracks, Montjuich is such an iconic venue for the 69s.

Group 6 please. This is amusing. I've driven Japanese cars most of my life but I've never owned a Honda.

Hi Phil,

My son William would like to sign up as well but he's not got an account yet. Sorry, I've tried sending you a PM but they just won't go. What should he do to sign up?

Good choice Axel, the inclusion of the 69x cars this season makes the Matras a bit more appealing.

I hope you wear Jackie Stewart tartan for the Montjuich round  :thumbup1:

I guess I'll be able to race only the first two race this season. After them my holidays will be over and unfortunately my schedule will clash with Tuedays races.
I choose group 5 for me

Yes Group 8 will be fine.

Requesting a late entry for some remaining races, if grid space available near the off.  Group 9 preferred to avoid blocking the track. :angel:

Registration processed Martin. You are the 22nd registered driver so you may have to wait on race nights to make sure there is enough space for you. You should be OK but we've had 16,16,19,18 drivers on the grid this season so far, so it is quite a popular series.
