Automation World Endurance Championship - 1991

[3rayman3]

Automation World Endurance Championship

The year is 1991 and the world is set to see a brand new race series.
AWEC

The series is loosely based on the FIA WEC. There are 3 classes that you can race in. LMP the almost anything goes class, GT1 for those supped up 911, GT2 only the chassis can be touched class. This series will combine the thrill of coffee, oil and petrol with an advanced R&D mechanic to create intense in your face cross season racing.

R&D System

The R&D system works by giving you R&D points which can be spent accordingly. You obtain these from your final race position and your final championship position. These R&D points are worked out by (Production Units *50). If decide to invest in developing your chassis or engine you use work out the difference in points from the previous iteration of the chassis/engine to the developed chassis/engine (e.g. (275PU – 250PU)*50 =1250R&D) The R&D costs in the rules are what you have to spend to develop the first vehicle in each class. At the end of each season you will earn extra R&D which can be either put towards a new chassis/engine or developing the existing chassis into a better one. There will be a 4 day window after each race in which you can spend your R&D points and make any setup changes. I will also include bonus R&D points for the best fuel economy and the fastest lap time.
1000 R&D = 20PU

The Championship System

There will be an overall team championship and a championship for each class. Point system TBD as I need a general idea of the number of people entering.

How the Racing works

The races are 24hr long endurance races so certain factors are taking into consideration when working out the results on my fancy calculator that I made on excel. The first of which is lap time your vehicle runs on the track, as it is an endurance race there needs to be pit stops so I generalise that everyone has a 100lt tank of fuel on board and I work out how many laps are needed before a pit stop is needed using the distance and the fuel consumption. I then add 1minute 40seconds to the time for the pit stop. Through my calculations i work out how many full laps you complete (including pit stops) before the 24hr time limit.

I have one question: is there a limit on production unit for the first vehicle?

[3rayman3]

if you divide the R&D cost in the rules for the class of vehicle then you'll have the limit for the first iteration of your car in production units. For the LMP and GT1 this includes the engine aswell

And for the GT2?

[3rayman3]

As it is using a production engine the R&D costs aren't implemented.

[3rayman3]

for the engine not the chassis
R&D costs are for the chassis in GT2

[np1993]

I'm slightly confused (It might be something super obvious but I don't watch FIA WEC and Google wasn't very helpful) but GT1 is for Porche 911's?

[3rayman3]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_tour ... sification this should provide you with the clarification you need. I've adapted the class GT1 and GT2 to an easier to implement system.

Ok, but how much production units can i use for the engine in GT2?

[3rayman3]

as long as it uses 95 RON fuel doesn't use race tubular exhausts and is a production engine that can be deemed an engine sensible enough for a road car then it should be fine

[np1993]

Ok, so from what I gathered GT's are (more or less) just race versions of production coupes

[3rayman3]

yeah pretty much

[np1993]

any sort of hp requirement? min/max?
