Black 'n' White Blowout!

[Baxie]

So. This is a new form of racing. Well... it's not THAT big a change from ordinary racing, but instead of regular racing this is a teamsport.

 

Two teams. Various cars needed.

 

So this'll be a versus-match with one type of car on one side and another on the other. Two teams of four on each will go head to head. Points given from 8 till 1 and in the end, a winning team will be crowned.

 

I am sure we can find some even teams. And yes. The Saleen head to head against the F1 GT might seem a bit unfair, but remember. This is a team effort. So while Slacky and Nipper might be good in the Saleen, they have three team-mates they need to get to the goal-line as well.

 

It might even be racing with collisions enabled to make it a little more... tactical.

 

It'll be divided into several arch-enemies and will take place on the ever popular "Makapu's Beach Race".

 

First Showdown: The Italian Job

 

First tier: Blast from the Past

 

On the red team: Ferrari 250 GTO

 

On the white: Lamborghini Muira

 

Second tier: 80's Icons

 

On the red team: Ferrari 288 GTO

 

On the white team: Lamborghini Countach 25th edition

 

Third tier: The here and now

 

On the red team: Ferrari 430 Spider

 

On the white team: Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

 

Second showdown: For Queen and Kaiser

 

First Tier: Risen from the rubble

 

On the white team: Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG

 

On the black team: Lotus Elise R

 

Second tier: GT-Gunmen

 

On the white team: RUF RGT

 

On the black team: Aston Martin DB9

 

Third tier: Never have so few....

 

On the white team: Mercedes CLK GTR (Which we will hopefully have gotten by this time.)

 

On the black team: Maclaren F1 GT (Or whichever will be closest, when the CLK is released.

 

Third Showdown: "Colonial Crash-test"

 

First Tier: Pavement or sidewalk?

 

On the white team: Chrysler 300C

 

On the black team: Lotus Esprit

 

Second tier: BHP (Bloody Hell Pardner!)

 

On the white team: Ford GT

 

On the black team: Jaguar XJ 220

 

Third tier: Independence Withdrawn

 

On the white team: Saleen S7TT

 

On the black team: Maclaren F1 GT

 

The cars chosen are pretty equal, and with teams of up to four, it will never truly be down to the car, but will be more of a team-effort.

 

If anyone has any ideas as to make it better or more even, then by all means. Let's hear it.

So. This is a new form of racing. Well... it's not THAT big a change from ordinary racing, but instead of regular racing this is a teamsport.

 

Two teams. Three or four racers on each team. Various cars needed. Winners are decided by either first man across the finishline or the total of each members times added up.

 

So this'll be a versus-match with one type of car on one side and another on the other.

 

It'll be divided into several arch-enemies and will take place on the ever popular "Makapu's Beach Race".

Second showdown: For Queen and Kaiser[/size]

 

First Tier: Risen from the rubble

 

On the white team: Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing

 

On the black team: Jaguar E-type

 

Third Showdown: "Colonial Crash-test"

 

First Tier: Pavement or sidewalk?

 

On the white team: Chrysler 300C

 

On the black team: Lotus Esprit

the E-type and the Mercedes are in a totally different league.

 

and the Audi RS4 would be better matched to the 300c

[Baxie]

How about:

 

Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG

 

Lotus Elise R

 

Instead of Gullwing and E-type.

 

I'll go look for a better match for the Esprit.

 

Problem with the Audi is, that it isn't an english car, and so it falls out of the theme.

[Baxie]

Another Problem has arisen.

 

Damn Ferrari wont let anyone paint the 288 GTO anything but red.

[GameConsolesMad]

Having to race against a team of Saleen S7s wouldnt be that fair either...

 

I wonder who would end up driving them.

 

*cough cough* Slacky and Nipper *cough cough*

 

:whistling:

[Marc_CRX]

Im Confused....is this just a Team Race where one team has to use a certain type of car and Vice Versa?

[xslackyxS7TT]

yh im abit confussed i cant grab the concept of it wether im thick or not is another story lol

[FA430RGT]

Wha ever it's about I'm in, alot of planning has gone into this!

[neil12345]

I'd be up for this!

[Baxie]

I've updated the post to make it easier to understand.

[xslackyxS7TT]

well wot ever this is sounds gd to me ill take the saleen of course

[Baxie]

haha. nono.

 

Ok. Let see how I can make this clearer.

 

Each showdown consists of THREE races with two competing teams.

 

Hopefully four on each team. Each in the teams designated car.

 

For instance Me, Slacky, Lws and F430 in The ferraris against Nipper, Gamesconsole, Neil and Marc in Lambos.

 

Race ends:

 

Slacky

Nipper

Neil

Games

Marc

F430

Lws

Me

 

Then we go to the next.

 

Order shuffles:

 

Lws

Nipper

Slacky

Neil

Games

F430

Marc

Me

 

that means, that Scores are:

 

Slacky 8 + 6

Nipper 7 + 7

Neil 6 + 5

Games 5 + 4

Marc 4 + 2

F430 3 + 3

Lws 2 + 8

Me 1 + 1

 

Making it: Ferrari Team: 32 vs. 40 For Lambo team.

 

Then comes the last race. (430 vs. Gallardo) etc. etc.

 

So far there are three showdowns, so that teams can be shuffled around. I didn't plan this for set teams of four. Plus more can come around or teams can shuffle. The teams however are stuck with each other for the showdown and stuck with the opponent.

 

 

Clearer?

Lost me...

[xslackyxS7TT]

ahhhhhh i get u so the team with the most points out of the 4 people in the teams wins

[Baxie]

F430: The first number is the score after the first race. For instance the race with the 250 GT vs. the Miura.

 

The second number would then be for the second race. The 288 GTO vs. the Countach.

 

First place in all three races of "The Italian Job" would give a total of 24 points to the team, making it hard to beat but nowhere near impossible.

 

It's sort of like Formula 1 races over a season. Although these are just three race seasons and I thought it'd be fun to make it a team thing.

 

Slacky: Yes. Team effort.

[neil12345]

When are you planning on holding this event

[Baxie]

Well. It can either be held on a weekend-day. Sunday afternoon / evening, as an entire Showdown requires three races on Maka'pu.

 

Or we can do it over the course of a week.

 

I'll let this be up to people.

 

Once we find out who is in, we'll make teams. Seven more people are needed. (As I am one) and we'll run the "Italian Job" when we get all settled.

 

So lets hear it. Who's up for it. When we get eight people, we'll vote on team structures and in the end flip a coin to see which team has to drive what.

[YeOldeTDUMan]

up for it in theory ... as always depends on when you're hosting it

 

Stock cars I presume?

[Nipper]

ill do it, i think i grasp the concept

[Baxie]

Sofar the team-pool is:

 

Nipper

Hybrid

Neill

Marc

Slacky

FA430

Me

 

So one more spot

[Nipper]

Sofar the team-pool is:

 

Nipper

Hybrid

Neill

Marc

Slacky

FA430

Me

 

So one more spot

 

make sure to split me and slacky into different teams

 

other wise watever team we are in will win LOL

[Pherelas]

If you still need someone to take part I will. Im not a great driver but im working on getting better.

[Baxie]

So we got two full teams.

 

How about these teams?

Team 1

Nipper

Hybrid

Neill

Marc

 

Team 2

Slacky

FA430

Pheralas

Baxie

 

We'll have the first showdown next week. Might have to split it over two nights.

 

I can't monday, thursday and saturday. How about the rest of you all?

[Pherelas]

Can do most days but if at all possible can you not make it friday. Can make it if I have to but would prefer not to.

[Baxie]

Let's try to make it tuesday night then.
