League Start:
29th January 2017
League Format:
The league will spread over 8 weeks. There will be 2 races per night. 1 x 15 minute race and 1 x 40 minute race with a compulsory pit stop (You must change all four tires). This may change depending on the round. Qualifying will start at 7.30pm TTR time with the first race starting around 7.45pm.
Cars:
All cars will be available however if one model is dominant over the rest in practice that car may be dropped or weight added (Based on majority vote).
There are around 11 manufactures with some manufacturers having more than one model.
Once you have chosen your car and skin, you have to use that one for the entire championship.

Round 3 - Bathurst Enduro 12hr (19th Feb)
Round 4 - Symmons Plains (26th Feb)

Round 7 - Hampton Downs (19th Mar)
Round 8 - Highlands Motorsport Enduro (26th Mar)
Weight Penalties:
None
Practice Night:
We will be having a practice night before the league starts.
Teamspeak:
It would be appreciated if all drivers could at least be in listen mode on Teamspeak, for the safety of all.
Please refrain from talking or chatting in game during qualifying. This can distract the other drivers who are trying to set a lap time.
Qualifying:
There will be qualifying for the first race. This will be a 10 minute open session.
You will be allowed 4 laps to qualify. Lap 1 to warm up, 2 x flying laps and a cool down lap. If you go over the 4 laps you will be put to the back of the grid.
The top 8 cars that finish the first race will be reversed for the second race, however to mix it up we may run a reverse grid race, or a random draw. Details on the night.
Warmup:
Yes. This will allow everyone a few minutes to cope with anything unforeseen. If drivers are ready warm-up will be by-passed.
Starts:
Standing start
(There will be no race restarts - but this is at the discretion of the organisers or if the majority rule)
Aids:
Traction Control: Low
ABS: Low
Auto Clutch: Yes
(TC and ABS are on low for beginners. It is recommended you turn these off).
Setups:
Open
Tires and Fuel:
Set to 2x
Penalties:
This is racing. Accidents will happen. However dangerous driving, driving causing accidents and not redressing etc will not be tolerated. The harshness of the penalty is at the discression of the organisers.
If you want an incident reviewed please PM the organiser with the relevant details.

I'll be doing my best to get to these rounds, I quite enjoy the GT3's even though I get my backside handed to me fairly regularly in them. Looking forward to it!

From last time I used these they also have launch control, I'm assuming it has to be turned off/not used as it is very effective

Poor attendance! Thanks to those who did turn up.
Admittedly I didn't post up details of round 1 in time, but I did have the start date above.
For this reason I have postponed the start of the league until next week. Lets hope for a better turnout then.

Will be definitely there next week though and looking forward to this series.

I would suggest doing a fresh install of rFactor and installing the mod into that.

Re: Australian GT3 Championship 2017 CANCELLED
the only issue im having is whenever i go to download something from here, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, id say 8 times out of ten, i will get server not found, so the download bar doesnt even come up,
though i thought i got the fuel patch yesterday, but when i went to install it, the download had failed, and i couldnt get back on here to try again,

Re: Australian GT3 Championship 2017 CANCELLED
Sorry i didn't make it either. I was in the shed until about 7:30pm, an hour after qually. Daylight saving makes it very hard for me to run with you guys on a Sunday night. I should be OK in winter though...

It must be something on your side ?
Maybe your browser or something ?
Clear your cache maybe or reset your DNS ?

Re: Australian GT3 Championship 2017 CANCELLED
Guys - due to the lack of numbers I have decided to cancel the rest of the league.
I don't know what more we can do to get more people back racing here...

Re: Australian GT3 Championship 2017 CANCELLED
Yeah no point running a series for 4 people !
I had a run at JFF Racing last night (Monday), they had the RSM V8 Supercars on rF1.
Was the first time I had downloaded, installed the mod and my thoughts was that it is awesome !!
Very drivable with the default setup and the changes that I made to car setup were very noticeable.
Ill be definitely going over to JFF for more of that as they run it fortnightly.
Another good thing was that there were actually people to race against !

Yeah I'm not sure what to do either Growler
Its very disheartening when you've gone to all the trouble thinking up a series, finding a mod and tracks, then testing the mod or a couple of mods on those tracks.
Coming up with what you think would work..... Then no one shows up ! for whatever reason !
At the end of the day if people wanted to race here, they would make the effort to turn up on race nights.
There's normally 5 to 6 people tops that turn up week in, week out, the rest if any are completely random...
I'm sure if we had someone promoting around the other clubs and on Facebook, that would help.
But if Growler drops out, then that's another regular gone....
The only things I can suggest is to go to rF2 permanently on Sundays and chase new people.
It may take a couple of months and promoting it will be key...
Other then that, I don't know ?
I suppose we'll be all done here and time to shut it all down ??

Re: Australian GT3 Championship 2017 CANCELLED
Sorry, lads. Moved houses and reality has kept me well busy for a good while now. Bloody sad to see that we're not pulling the numbers for a series anymore...
Anyone still kicking around? Got a G27 and I'd be keen to even just cut some fat laps in the good old TCL or LoB cars sometime.
Hope you're all well, anyway. Hopefully I'll catch you round sometime

Re: Australian GT3 Championship 2017 CANCELLED
HI Dave,
Yeah unfortunately we haven't run anything since this GT3 series due the numbers on race nights.
There's just not enough racers at this club keen enough to show up week in week out not matter what at this stage.
There has been discussions behind the scenes about why and what could resurrect TTR Racing.
When I first joined TTR, there was a team of dedicated guys that were running the club and then there was Benny (the creator of the club overlooking the whole thing).
This seemed to work very well and if you look at other clubs around, they run things in a similar fashion.
A dedicated team running a club will / should attract dedicated racers.
Over time those dedicated people slowly dropped off and TTR went from running 4 race nights a week down to 1.
This created less exposure to the club to attract new dedicated members.
1 race night can still be enough but would still need a dedicated team behind it !
The main thing TTR is / was missing is the advertising and promoting of the club around the traps.
Another issue was no one dedicated enough to take charge of kicking off rFactor 2 on a second race night per week.
If anyone's keen to run a night or get Sundays back up and running again, then just let me know !
Ill keep the server setup to how ever you like, whether its rF1 or rF2...
I know ill show up to anything that's going and I'm sure there're a few others keen as well.
You would need to come up with something to attract new people !!
So who's going to stand up & commit ??
Whats the worst that can happen ?
