RSL-GPL Saison 2008 - Wolfgang Buthe - 08.01.2008 00:56 AM

Dear RSLer,

(Bitte per PN melden, falls der Thread übersetzt werden soll. Danke)
as we have quite a few non-German drivers in our RSL league I prefer to write the announcement of the 2008 GPL RSL championship in my pure English. More important than a perfect English should be that all members and applicants understand the rules for our races. If someone doesn't understand because he doesn't speak English or because my English is that bad ;D, please feel free to pm me or send me an e-mail.

GPL is meanwhile one of the most versatile and skilling simulations in the scene. The release of the 66 GPL mod is another milestone in racing simulations.
We will have most of our races in 66 Mod combined with 65, 67 and 69 Mod. And this will be a great challenge for the drivers.
We should also use the glorious 69 and 65 mod in our championship because none of them should be forgotten.
The RSL Champion and all other drivers will be Masters of the whole GPL spectrum as we have it today.

Generally our RSL GPLRules stay the same. But the 66 Mod needs some special changes because this remarkable season saw a lot of different engines with different capacities and chassis qualities.
According to these circumstances we will have special reglements for chassis choice, Shift-R and a brand-new RSL Starting Money rule. Don't worry please. Every driver receives RSL-Dollars to spend it for a special issue that, will be explained later.

The Chassis
We will have 2 divisions of cars for the 66 Mod and the actual races will be announced for one of the divisions.
The 3 litre cars of 66 will be division 1 and all other cars of 2-2.7 litres capacity are called division 2.
We believe that it doesn't makes sense to have the team restriction for the whole season if someone in a 2 litre car has to compete against 3 l engines.

All drivers have their free choice to sign up for a team before the championship starts.

The selectable "worksteams" are:

Team Brabham:
65 season = BT11 , BT7
66 season = BT19 (only for division 1 events), BT 11 Climax S4 or BT11 BRM V8 (for division 1 and/or 2 events, free choice)
67 season = BT24
69 season = BT26

Team BRM:
65 season = P261 V8
66 season = P83 H16 (only for division 1), P261 V8 2L (division 1 and/or 2 events, free choice)
67 season = BRM P 115 H16
69 season = BRM P 126/139 V12

Team Cooper:
65 season = Cooper t77
66 season = Cooper Maserati V12 (for division 1 and 2)
67 season = Cooper Maserati V12
69 season = free choice

Team Eagle:
65 season = BT7
66 season = Eagle Weslake V12 T1F (only for division 1), Eagle S4 for division 2 or/and 1 events
67 season = Eagle Weslake V12 T1G
69 season = McLaren M7 V8

Team Scuderia Ferrari
65 season = Ferrari 1512
66 season = Ferrari 312 V12 (only for division 1), Ferrari 246 V6 (division 1 and 2, free choice)
67 season = Ferrari 312 V12
69 season = Ferrari 312 V12

Team Lotus:
65 season = Lotus 33
66 season = Lotus 43 H16 (only for division 1), Lotus 33 Climax, Lotus 33 BRM (division 1 and 2, free choice)
67 season = Lotus 49 Cosworth V8
69 season = Lotus 49b Cosworth V8

Team Honda:
65 season = Honda RA272 V12
66 season = Honda RA273 V12 (only for division 1), McLaren V8 Ford for division 2 (looks like the GPL Murasama and fits better to division 2 performances)
67 season = Honda RA300 V12
69 season = Matra MS80 Cosworth V8

Team McLaren:
65 season = Cooper T77 (Bruce 's car in 65)
66 season = McLaren M2B Ford V8 (division 1 and 2)
67 season = McLaren M5A-BRM V12 (Eagle with McLaren skin!)
69 season = McLaren M7 Cosworth V8


Drivers shall choose a team for the whole season because we want to recognize the drivers in their cars and we don't want to have strategic chassis choice for each track layout.

Shift-R rules:

Every driver who takes part in our championship has one
start Shift-R for every race. He has permission to shift-R in the first (start) lap of the race for any reason to get into the race, even if he is involved in trouble during the start procedure or his engine exploded.
If the driver must use the start Shift-R, he is obligated to serve a stop-and-go penalty in the pits exactly at his pitboard position (stopping the car down to 0 km/h and immediately accelerating again to continue racing). This penalty is important to have maximum care for the start procedure.
The start Shift-R can only be used in the lap after green flag for grand prix starts and when we have pacelap starts it can be used for the first quick race lap.

During the rest of the race, drivers have one more Shift-R on the track, but only if the driver can't bring the car safely back to the pits. In the pits Shift-R is free for any reason.

No Shift-R on the track when the engine is exploded. So take care about your shiftings and revs. The only way to repaire your engine is in the pits!!! This means of course, if you suffer an engine failure and you are still able to get back to the pits, it is allowed to shift-R there for a "new engine".

RSL Starting Money
For each race that a driver joins, he earns 1 RSL Dollar after minimum 40% completed laps.
The starting money can be spent for...

...a bonus Shift-R which costs 2 Dollars and can be used for any reason on the track without penalty ! ( Drivers have to confirm to have enough RSL-Dollars before the race. Using an unallowed shift_R leads to DQ!)

... buying a division 1 car in a division 2 race at a cost of 3 RSL- Dollars. ( If a driver wants to spend his starting-money for a 3L car, he has to buy it until one hour before the monday practice begins-latest time= 19:30 CET-. by posting it in the announcement thread for the actual race.)

Fuel strategies

Drivers are also free to have a fuel strategy, if they think it might be more competitive for the race. Fuel stops are only allowed in the pits exactly at the pitboard position to force the driver to pit cleanly.

RSL Safe Pitstop Patch

GPL normally puts the car back on the track if Shift-R is used in the pitlane. Our drivers will get patches for each track to stay in the pits after Shift-R. You will leave the pits on the normal exit to get save back to pace and into the race!
We recommend to install this harmless patch for safety and authenticity during the race and possible pitstops.
Pitting is always to be announced by the drivers using the chat macros PI and PO.

Race length

All races will be 70% of the Grand Prix distances.

Race modifications

There are two kinds of race modifications during our RSL season.

Grand Prix: GP races will be started with a standing grid after green flag.

Race Of Champions: ROC races will be started after a pace lap and after the polesitter spotted "GOGOGO" while he is crossing the S/F line. No overtaking before the S/F line.

I have Bruce McLaren for teamchief smile

Does someone have a setup for the Cooper T77 for me? Or can i take my setup from the Brabham BT7? shy

Also many thanks to Wolfgang for his perfect work to manage this season supisupisupisupi

P.S. what a wonderful picture at the newspage!

P.P.S. really fine to be a member here and also to have Paul and all this fair driving friends to drive with Anbeten

RE: RSL-GPL Saison 2008 - BLY - 08.01.2008 21:32 PM

Hi Wolfgang!

Vielen Dank für die unendliche Mühe supi, alles bestens durchdacht, feine Streckenauswahl noch dazu, was will man mehr zwinker ?

Ach ja, das Team.....schwierig, schwierig, aber ich nehm dann mal:

Team McLaren:
65 season = Cooper T77 (Bruce 's car in 65)
66 season = McLaren M2B Ford V8 (division 1 and 2)
67 season = McLaren M5A-BRM V12 (Eagle with McLaren skin!)
69 season = McLaren M7 Cosworth V8

...hauptsächlich wegen dem geilen Sound des 66er McLarens, da könnt´ ich stundenlang fahren Rofl ! Obwohl so richtig "competetive" ist der ja nich.....Heul2

Für die 67 er Rennen dann einfach den Eagle nehmen, oder? (McLaren BRM V12 ist ja nur ein Grafik Update....)

Cheers

Ulrich Schwartz

Bin mal davon ausgegangen, dass man aus dem Eagle Ordner die Datei " Player drives the McLaren car " (oder so ähnlich ) in seinen Eagle Ordner zieht . Dann müsste auch online der rote Mclaren BRM V12 erscheinen. Wenn nicht fährt man halt den Eagle, aber schöner wärs wenns der McLaren aus 67 wird.

So oder so, viel Spaß dabei!

Wolfgang.

RE: RSL-GPL Saison 2008 - ACHIM KRAFT - 09.01.2008 09:37 AM

Hallo Wolfgang !

Ich mache es kurz:

Ich melde mich für diese Saison mit dem Lotus "Paket" an.

Nach heutiger Sicht werde ich allerding nur an 3 Rennen "außer Konkurrenz" mit dem 69er (Österreichring), dem 65 (Clerm. Ferrand) und dem 67er (Salzburgring '76) teilnehmen. Die Teilnahme am Abschlußrennen wird nach Bekanntgabe des Mods fallen. In Rennen mit dem 66er Mod (Schwerpunkt des Jahres 2008 bei RSL) werde ich nicht antreten.

Grüße

Achim

Noch schwanke ich zwinker, eigentlich möchte ich auch "Brabbeln", aber die Aussicht, in Hockenheim und Spa mit dem überlegenen Cooper anzutreten, hat was für sich. In sofern finde ich, dass die Chassis-Vorauswahl an diesem Punkt einen kleinen Hänger hat, denn der Maserati hat 100 PS mehr als die Mitbewerber in der Division 2. Aber ´ne bessere Idee habe ich auch nicht.

Uli

PS: Pauls Wahl ist etwas "gewagt" grinz.
Paul, your choice doesn´t fit the rules.
