Season 21 - GT Team ChallengeThis new series will consist of ten races running fortnightly on Sundays. Teams will be made up of 3 drivers and 3 cars along the same format as the fun series eg RED, BLUE, GREEN etc. All teams will have a budget of
120 tokens to allow the purchase of 3 cars and the hiring of 3 drivers for the series. Drivers will be valued in line with their experience and recent history in the GT's (individual values will be published when we have a list of those wishing to compete). The cost of the various cars will be published before the teams are selected. Team Captains will be selected randomly and allowed to choose (and pay for from the budget) fellow team members from the pool of drivers in rotation then 3 chassis will be purchased from remaining tokens. Depending upon the numbers of those committing to a full season there may be a "GREY" team to accommodate part timers which will have 3 cars allocated at the start of the season by the moderator which must be used by the part-time drivers in that team.
All drivers must drive all 3 team cars at least 3 times. At the end of the 10 race championship any TEAM found to be in breach of this rule will have its BEST TEAM points result of the season cancelled. Each driver will drop his worst 2 results, in line with the other championships, this gets over the problem of missed races and 2 man teams looking for a sub at the last minute. There will be rolling starts for all races.
The events will be run on Intermediate damage and allow ONE Shift-R with a compulsory 10 second pit stop regardless of fault. (
This means 10 seconds in your pitbox without moving). Any driver who fails to take a 10 second stop within 1 lap after a Shift-R, will be disqualified from the results. For this division the full moderation of lap one now applying across all divisions will include both the warm up lap and lap one proper.
