SEASON 1 INFORMATION

WHAT IS THE ''MANUFACTURER CHAMPIONSHIP'' ?

THE ENTIRE CONCEPT BEHIND FMCS, IS LOOSELY BASED ON THE FIA SERIES OF THE SAME NAME WHICH SEES TEAMS OF DRIVERS REPRESENT MANUFACTURERS ON TRACK AND BATTLE IT OUT THROUGHOUT THE SEASON WITH ''BUILT'' CARS RATHER THAN USE FULL FACTORY ''WORX'' RACE PLATFORMS, WHILE STILL RECEIVING FACTORY SUPPORT FROM THE MANUFACTURERS (IN REAL LIFE THAT IS).

HOW DOES FMCS FUNCTION WHEN IT COMES TO TEAMS AND REGISTRATIONS ?

UPON REGISTRATION, PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE 3 POSSIBILITIES:

REGISTERING A FULL TEAM OF 2 DRIVERS AND AN OPTIONAL BACKUP DRIVER IN THE CASE THAT ONE OF THE 2 MAIN PILOTS CANNOT BE PRESENT.
REQUEST TO JOIN AN EXISTING TEAM CURRENTLY OPEN FOR A SECOND DRIVER OR EVEN A BACKUP
REGISTER AS A SINGLE DRIVER TEAM

***** IMPORTANT: ONLY ONE TEAM PER MANUFACTURER ALLOWED. UNFORTUNATELY, IF THE ONE YOU WANT IS ALREADY TAKEN, YOU HAVE TO SELECT SOMETHING ELSE *****

WHAT IS THE TCR-P CLASS ?

THE TCR-P CLASS IS OUR VERY OWN CREATION COMPOSED MOSTLY OF SMALL TO MID SIZE TOURING AND SPORTS PRODUCTION CARS RANGING FROM THE AUDI S3 TO THE SUBARU WRX STI, BUILT TO A PREDETERMINED SPEC GRADE:

S750 MAXIMUM PI
FULL ROLLCAGE MANDATORY
REAR FORZA WING MANDATORY
RACE TIRES MANDATORY
NO WIDEBODY KITS
NO DRIVETRAIN REGULATIONS

ONLY ASSISTS ALLOWED: NORMAL STEERING AND MANUAL TRANSMISSION (WITHOUT CLUTCH)

HOW WILL THE LEADERBOARDS FUNCTION ?

THERE WILL BE TWO DIFFERENT LEADERBOARDS DURING THE SEASON:

DRIVERS CHAMPIONSHIP
MANUFACTURERS (TEAMS) CHAMPIONSHIP

DRIVERS CHAMPIONSHIP: WILL USE THE STANDARD FIA 25 POINTS FOR 1ST, 18 POINTS FOR 2ND AND SO ON SYSTEM.

MANUFACTURERS CHAMPIONSHIP: ALL POINTS SCORED BY THE DRIVERS WITHIN A TEAM ADDED UP TOGETHER FOR THEIR TEAM IN THE MANUFACTURERS LEADERBOARDS.

***** IMPORTANT: BACKUP DRIVERS SCORE FULL POINTS FOR THEMSELVES IN THE DRIVERS CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT ONLY SCORE HALF POINTS (ROUNDED UP) FOR THE MANUFACTURERS CHAMPIONSHIP *****

WHAT IS THE RACE FORMAT ?

FMCS WILL USE A HEAT BASED ''SHOOTHOUT'' FORMAT. EACH RACE WILL CONSIST OF 3 HEATS OF 15 MINUTES. THE NURBURGRING - NORDSCHLEIFE RACE IS THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS AND WILL INSTEAD FEATURE 3 HEATS OF 2 LAPS.

DRIVERS WILL SCORE RACE POINTS (RP) ACCORDING TO THEIR FINISHING POSITION OF EACH HEAT. THE DRIVER WITH THE MOST RACE POINTS AFTER 3 HEATS WINS THE ROUND.

THE FIRST HEAT OF THE SEASON WILL HAVE A RANDOMLY GENERATED STARTING GRID BUT WILL THEN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW THIS SYSTEM:

1. HEAT 1 WILL ALWAYS A REVERSED CHAMPIONSHIP LEADERBOARDS STARTING GRID ORDER ( LEADER STARTS LAST )

2. THE HEAT 2 STARTING GRID USES THE FINISHING ORDER OF HEAT 1 IN A REVERSED FASHION ( THE WINNER OF HEAT 1 WILL START LAST ON HEAT 2 )

3. THE HEAT 3 STARTING GRID USES THE FINISHING ORDER OF HEAT 2 IN A REVERSED FASHION ( THE WINNER OF HEAT 2 WILL START LAST ON HEAT 3 )
