Back by popular demand, Brad N and Eric M will be hosting another Forza Motorsports 6 online racing series. Instead of a mini-series, this will be a full length series running over the course of 16 weeks from Late July 2016 - October 2016. This series will be based on the American LeMans (now IMSA/Tudor) Racing Series. Specific information and rules for this series can be found below.
All races will be around 15 laps including a championship race (See Schedule [below] for details)
Same points structure (2009 F1 rules) and base rules as the original series.
Participants in this series will be partnered up into Four Teams (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow) and will compete for individual driver points as well as Manufacturers (Team) Points. Each Team will select from a predefined list of <R-832 PI R-Spec Race cars. (See Lottery Section below for details)
This is a Team series, Manufacturer (Team) points will be used in addition to Drivers Points to determine the overall (prize) winners. Since the FM6 system limits us to a maximum of 4 Teams, we have learned that the best option is to use the Average points calculation method that the system offers -- this will allow us to stretch/shrink teams from 1 (solo) or 3 players per team, each team will have a minimum of 2 drivers assigned to it. Manufacturer (Team) points will be awarded as follows: 5 pts for 1st, 3 pts for 2nd, 2 pts for 3rd, 1 pts for 4th. If a team happens to run with a solo driver for an event they will be awarded +1 constructor points regardless of the teams finishing position. Team points will not be affected by the passing penalty rule only individual drivers.
Tuning of the R-SPEC cars by the team, or by the driver will be permitted so long as the PI of the vehicle remains unchanged from original. This should provide an interesting dynamic to the racing as drivers will be able to adjust the car to their driving style and to each track.
Team** makeup will be as follows (in order):
| 1st Round: Yellow Team Vehicle: McLaren 12C
| 2nd Round: Red Team Vehicle: BMW M3 | 3rd Round: Green Team Vehicle: Dodge Viper | 4th Round: Blue Team Vehicle: Audi R8 |
**team assignments were calculated using past performance and trending data; reach out to Dave S for details.

- [R-814] Corvette C7.R
