Automation World Racing League - Entries open

[Hermann95]

Ok, the system is already in planning and i will explain it once it is finished.
The first season will be a testing season with 5 races. By now i only have 3 tracks,so if someone made a cool track please submit it.

Calender proposal
1. Automation 500(500km race on the Automation Test track)
2. TBA
3. 6 hours of Paul Ricard(6 hour race on the paul ricard circuit i made)
4. TBA
5. Green Hell 24(24 hours race on the Green Hell track by Der Bayer)

Sounds good

[OCAdam]

Well then, I might have to get my Bristol with a track map at the very least to allow for testing, but I've got a Road Atlanta nearly done... just still feel like the slopes and bumpiness are off. I should probably have Bristol able to run 2 laps with a sector time for the start of lap 2.

New track submitted. Still in tweaking phase, but should be good for now.

Swanson Proving Grounds - 3.85 mile road course

I would love to help Build up a racing league! What would you like me to do?

[Hermann95]

So here is the finished calendar:
1. Automation 500(500km race on the Automation Test track)
2. 12 hours of Atlanta by Swanson(12 hours race at Swanson Proving Ground by 07CobaltGirl)
3. 6 hours of Paul Ricard(6 hour race on the paul ricard circuit i made)
4. Yunque 1000(1000km race at Qunque Raceway by Razyx)
5. Green Hell 24(24 hours race on the Green Hell track by Der Bayer)

Announcments

Each race weekend will constist of one qualifying session and the race. The qualifying will determine the grid slot and won't take drivers into account(to see who built the fastest car)
The race will take drivers, tyre wear and fuel consumption into account.
There will be 3 race classes, Automation Prototype 1(APT1), Automation Prototype 2(APT2) and Automation GT(AGT).

Rules
1) Each member is allowed to enter ONE car per class.
1.1) Each entry has to be handed in by PM.
1.2) Each entry needs to be in a .zip folder(only one per user with separated folders for each class) named after the user(f.e. mine would be Hermann95)
1.3) Each file has to be named like this: Username-Class-Type of file(engine,platform,model)
1.4) Braking one of the rules 1.1-1.3 will lead to a 25 points penalty in the championship.
2) Each car will have 2 fictional drivers.
2.1) 3 Tiers for drivers are available. Tier 1: Speed(high speed value, low consistency value), Tier 2: Consistency(low speed value, high constistency value), Tier 3: Allrounder(avarage speed value, avarage consistency value)
3) Each class has it's own technical regulations which can change over the seasons. For the exact technical regulations look at the opening post of this thread)
4) Each class will have its own championship.
4.1) Championship points will be distributed like this: 25-20-16-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

I've read the rules and i have noticed two things: The manufacture year is missing (2014 or 2020?) and MTBF is given for the engine only. I'd like to see that for the whole car because of cooling.

The rest should be good, I'm looking forward to how it will play! I'll probably join all classes.

I'll fix the manufacturer year. It will be 2014. I'll also put in MTBF for the whole car(this will also determine reliability).
I went the way with engine MTBF to prohibit 0.0km engines

In the AGT class the monocoque can be made of carbon fiber?

[Hermann95]

In the AGT class the monocoque can be made of carbon fiber?

Yes. Everything which is not prohibited is allowed.

Btw. the system is now finished and entries are open now.
Please use this entry form in the PM:
Username:f.e. Hermann2000
Nation: f.e. Australia
Class: f.e. APT2
Driver line up: f.e. Driver 1: Tier 2; Driver 2: Tier 1;
and that the .zip file with everything in it as stated in the rules.
if you enter multiple classes please rpeat the entry form for each class and put the .zip file at the end.

I'll tell you if your car has passed the technical inspection or not. If it didn't pass it you'll get ONE chance to revise the car in order to suit the rules. If it again fails to suit the rules your car'll be disqualified.

Deadline is Saturday 26th of April 15:00 CEST

What confuses me is the different MTBF's, engine mtbf is 20k but in model 30k? The engine designer automatically lowers mtbf assuming low cooling, so this doesn't make sense to me.

The engine has to have a certain MTBF, this is mainly to prohibit 0.0km engines.
The MTBF in the model designer changes with the cooling of the car. This is to prohibit no cooling cars.

I think you misunderstand how it works: the Model MTBF is always smaller or equal to the engine MTBF, so indeed a engine limit of 20k and a model limit of 30k doesn't make any sense. Just remove the engine MTBF rule and you're set. 0 MTBF engines give you 0 MTBF models.

Maybe my game has a strange bug but look at this:

You are building the engine not from the model designer (i.e. there are no size arrows). Our arguments stand
