Season 23 - Porsche Super Cup

Welcome to the Porsche Super Cup which will be based on the GT Mod but will use only the Porsche.
This will be a team based series, and the championship will be based on the results of the whole team rather than the individual drivers. The drivers table is unofficial.

The best driver from each of the 3 classes will be honoured as members of the "Season 23 Porsche Dream Team".

Please check the Season 23 pages for details regarding rules and the Porsche Super Cup pages in particular.

We want to encourage more drivers to join our UKGPL teams or create new teams and so this series will aim to do that.

All drivers have been rated according to ability as either: Pro; Amateur or Novice. New drivers will be assigned a group by the Moderator.

A team consists of 3 drivers with a maximum of 6 drivers points.
Pro driver -> 3 points
Amateurs   -> 2 points
Novices    -> 1 point

There is NO other handicap in these races.

Please ensure that you comply with this rule. There will be no exceptions made!

NB: Teams that do not comply with this rule will have ALL of their
drivers disqualified for each race in which the rule is not adhered to

Please give me the missing names as soon as possible.  
With 23 drivers registered yet there will be only one grid, priority is given to the registered FT drivers!

Soooo, I take it that this means no overtaking, must hold a steading speed etc until we reach the end of the Red Zone ?

Don't you think there is something strange in this highlighted or may I understood bad ?
If there is not reset (in Pro mode) who blows his engine should leave the race as soon as possible, does it ?

Rolling start is good and safer (I've raced with this rule in GPFun67 since 4 years) but personally, the normal start sequence is more exciting but usually it has to be used with disciplined drivers that don't think to win a race at the first corner but...at the last one. A drawback is, since the rolling start will end at the last corner and usually the start/finish straight is a long straight, at 1st corner can happen a heap as well as in a normal start considering in a rolling start the slipstream is strong and you will have the savage crowd directly behind....who will miss the brake point will make the ...YahooOooOOo. LOL
Maybe a normal start with only one reset during the 1st lap could help avoiding frustration to throw a race like at Salzburgring with also a S&G to be served at the discretion of the driver before the finish line.

Last but not least,
what about Teams and drivers exceeding the slots allowed ?

Do you mean about the front grid drivers that leave the other drivers alone or because a possible incident ?
Anyway it is obvious that a way must be taken, I hope it will better than the last year for all of us.

Damn...guys I'm in trouble to find out any post in which I've wrote something. Is here any possibility to keep my posts highlighted so I will not loose 1/2 of an hour anymore to get there !?!?!? 
Thanks.

Yes mate - the download off the GPL tracks database gives the wrong D/L module. The link on the calendar should take you to the right one...

Let me know if it doesn't.

oops, not sure where my reg went but should have been for supercup!!
Hope you wll accept
