Just another Forum Game, this one with strategy involved.
Its time to be your own pit boss/crew chief.
Each person has one post per lap.
In that post you can either:
BLOCK
MOVE HIGH
MOVE LOW
SLIP STREAM
DROP BACK
PIT :
Put # Tape on Grille
Re-Fuel
Tires last the whole race.
Pit Window is 45 - 50 Laps
A running count will be kept on the positions and location of each driver on track, each driver's fuel, tape, engine temp, and "Cards"
Random Cautions will be thrown at anytime.
Starting Grid Based on order of those who reply to this thread "Qualified"
Engines blow up at 285°F, you are OUT
When you have 0 Laps of Fuel Remaining you are OUT
If you move up into someone else, a wreck will occur and both cars will goto pit road to be auto repaired and restart at the end of the field.
If you are involved in more than 5 wrecks, your car cannot be repaired and you will be OUT.
Not posting during a lap will result in nothing happening to your car, though you will be affected by other drivers actions.
Engine Temps will rise whether or not you post during a lap.
Green Flag Pitstops will result in you being put one lap down, laps can be regained by passing the leader under green, or by taking the "Lucky Dog" during a Caution Flag.
Example:
SPEEDSTER0595
Position: 5th
Line: Outside
Fuel Left: 43 Laps
Tape: 2
Engine Temp: 214°F
BLOCKS: 20
Slip Streams: 37
Tape Remaining: 4
Davexen
Position: 6th
Line: Middle
Fuel Left: 47 Laps
Tape: 0
Engine Temp: 200°F
BLOCKS: 24
Slip Streams: 32
Tape Remaining: 6
fnord
Position: 7th
Line: Inside
Fuel Left: 30 Laps
Tape: 5
Engine Temp: 220°F
BLOCKS: 15
Slip Streams: 39
Tape Remaining: 1
During Caution Flags:
You dont lose fuel (Fuel Remaining stays the same)
Engine Temperature decreases by 10°F
You will lose a spot if you pit, depending if the cars behind you do not pit.
You can remove Tape from grille at no charge, but cannot put that piece back on.
Each pit boss/crew chief has # amount of "Cards":
∞ MOVE HIGH/LOW (changes line in draft)
∞ DROP BACK (loses 2 spots)
40 Slip Streams (Gain 2 Spots, must use a MOVE HIGH/LOW to pass car infront, or else you will push your line up 2 spots)
25 BLOCKS (Stops driver behind from advancing position)
6 Pieces of Tape for the Grille (Gain 1 Spot a Lap, Engine Temp rises 4°F each lap, 1 piece = 4°F rise, 1 spot gained; 6 pieces = 24°F rise, 6 spots gained)
I will start the race by saying
GREEN FLAG
LAP 1/500
then a driver will post their action
SPEEDSTER0595
" Slip Stream, MOVE UP "
Cautions will be displayed as:
CAUTION FLAG
LAP 2/500
Start qualifying!
Its time to be your own pit boss/crew chief.
Use strategy, and some teamwork to win
