Driver requirements:
Drivers will be sorted into 4 tiers:

Platinum: Top drivers, with much experience in top level single seaters, prototypes or GT.
Ability range: 70-90
Salary : 300 000

Gold: Professional drivers with experience in top level categories.
Ability range 45-75
Salary : 150 000

Silver: Experienced pay drivers which also have some driving skills.
Ability range 35-55
Sponsorship : 100 000

Bronze: Gentleman drivers which lack experience in top tier series.
Ability range 25-40
Sponsorship : 250 000

Driver salaries and sponsorship are multiplies by (Number of Races / 10)

I'll probably let the owners of the drivers decide on the category, but if you try to make Mark Dagnall a bronze driver or something like that, I won't allow it.

Pro-Am (LMP2 and GT-Am) lineups need at least one silver or bronze driver.

[DemocalypseNow]

Are the cars and races chosen so close to real-life because you're using a WEC mod from something like rFactor, GTR2 etc? Otherwise, if there is room for more flexibility away from real life and into fiction, I'd make a suggestion for that.

I'm not using any mods, I'm using basically the same programm I use for alternate 1979. So there would indeed be room for som more fictional cars. I thought about letting teams build their own LMP1-H and LMP2 cars if they want.

[AndreaModa]

As I said in the planning thread I'm interested in this, but would there be the option of teams building their own chassis? Say for example, alongside the current LMP1 and LMP2 options you could have an additional option to build your own chassis and do it in a similar vein to F1RWRS with different stages of RNG determining how good the chassis would be. It would be a fair bit of extra work I guess but it might help differentiate the series from being just a slightly modified version of the real life WEC. Just an idea anyway!

[pi314159]

Added the option to build your own chassis for LMP1 and LMP2. Also, you can build more chassis than you run yourself and try to sell them to other teams.

I think what needs to be considered is the level of canonicity, if that makes any sense. What I would also consider is how this series fits alongside SARS - is it a direct rival? A level above? A level below?

I suppose if you wanted a realistic WEC season you could go down the Klon route and run it as "Alt-WEC", mimicking real life partly but still fictionalised, and not part of RWRS per-se. Almost like the ASO approved version of endurance series going up against the RWRS endurance series.

This might all sound like pointless posturing, but Nuppiz made a good point in some thread in ASMF (don't remember which anymore). As we gain more and more series, we see drivers and teams being duplicated where they really shouldn't. I would consider how this fits alongside everything else so users know what (not) to do when entering.

And another thing - if we are having works teams, that are dictated by the entry list, rather than by any other factor, how will it be decided who gets the coveted spots? I imagine Audi will be highly coveted by many, but first come first served isn't entirely fair, as we have members from all corners of the globe here. At any one point in time, at least some of the regular PMMF members will be sleeping, due to nothing but their timezone.

There are two scenarios possible, depending on if Klon continues SARS. Either SARS gets merged into this one, Alt-WEC becomes a rival series.

Double dutying with other series will not be allowed, apart from Le Mans.

For the works teams, I think you have a good system in RRT, so if you don't mind, I'd like to use that one.

[Aerond]

On the calendar, I would try to include Sebring or Daytona and/or other real world endurance events (Nordschleife anyone?).

I'd be interested in taking a part in this, if it goes cannon

[Klon]

Alright, concerning the relationship of this series and SARS:

The FIA and F1R are basically in an open state of war, drivers doing double duty in SARS and Alt-WEC would therefore be kind of troublesome. Since I openly admit that the best thing about SARS is the name, I would be willingly sacrifice SARS for the greater good - if SARS and this series coexist and basically have the same rules on driver entries with this series having like SARS 15 teams (as my plan for 2017 would involve) across all classes, we'd need around 60 fictional drivers, especially if strict rules for double duty are introduced.

Since the FIA's WEC has died in canon (due to corruption against customer teams), my story proposal would be the founders of this series buying out SARS (with maybe SARS being a minor trophy within the championship - compare the Campionato Italiano Superstars) and maybe SARS teams getting first picks on entries.

[Ferrarist]

Since the Street Racing League is a GT series and since it's canon, I feel obliged to share my opinion.

I don't know if there would be enough teams for GTs. Maybe you should cap LMP1/2 entries at 20-22 users, with the rest going into a pseudo-waiting list that just consists of a GT class? That way, they can get a taste of the series and they'll be ready when they can make the promotion to LMPs.

Sebring and Daytona are part of USCC, and so they're unlikely to become part of an ACO-sanctioned series. But Sebring or Daytona would make a great season opener, that's true. And as fascinating as Nordschleife is, I can't imagine LMP1 cars racing there.

To create a better canon storyline, the series has been renamed ACO Le Mans Cup, to make a SARS buyout more plausible. SARS teams will get guaranteed entries for 2017.

[Onxy Wrecked]

Yep, I will operate a name change and many drivers will lose their posts. Onyx LMP will run on their own chassis available also to other teams come 2018. Simply, Onyx aims for the cheapest chassis and even if it's a backmarker.

[Nessafox]

RonDen might try to do a serious effort in this.

[takagi_for_the_win]

Would Spa be a viable track?

And I'll also confirm my interest in this series.

[FMecha]

I hereby declare my interest, and suggest some old ex-GT300 cars for the GT class.

[SeedStriker]

I believe most of us are interested in running here

[dr-baker]

If it becomes a direct replacement for the Siemens Ausdauer Series (as seems to be the suggestion above), then I'll be up for it with the same drivers.

[Klon]

I hereby declare my interest, and suggest some old ex-GT300 cars for the GT class.

Seeing as the Road Class in SARS are build in accordance with GT300, that would actually be quite sensible.

[Hermann95]

I would also be very interested in this series.

[pi314159]

Calendar extended to ten races, now includes the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 6 Hours of Spa.

[V8fan12]

I would be interested in this series.

[AustralianStig]

As will my team, Himalayas Racing.

[Peteroli34]

I too am interested in this series. it should include GT classes especially if is merging with SARS which has a GT class plus you cant have Lemans without GT cars

[pasta_maldonado]

Some team of mine will be contesting this If there's one thing I'd like to see, it's another 24 hour event. 6 hour events just don't compare to the 24 hour ones.

[Salamander]

Equipe Gauthier will take up the option of a guaranteed 2017 entry, since this buying out SARS is what is seems like everyone's going with.

[pi314159]

It will have a GT class.

[kevinbotz]

Commonwealth Racing expresses its interest.

[go_Rubens]

The Henri Racing Team has expressed interest in this new series for sportscar racing.

[FantometteBR]

Équipe Fantomette (Euromotor's sportscar/endurance's arm) is interested as well

[go_Rubens]

There is one suggestion I will make, and that is rgarding the length of the races, like what Pasta said. Pasta has said that there should be another 24 hour event, as a suggestion. But I am one who likes to see diversity, while still keeping Le Mans the race of the season (a creative way of saying there shouldn't be another 24 hour race). There ahould be a few races that are a set distance, like revive the Monza 1000 km or maybe make Spa a 1000 km race like it originally was. Another 12 hour race may be good, but maybe not. But I'd like to see a race that's well, say 8 hours or 10 hours to try and keep focus less on 6 hour events, and increase diversity. The WEC calendar in real life suffers the issue where there is a lack of diversity in terms of the length of the races, and that, in my opinion, shouldn't be a prominent issue in the virtual world of F1 Rejects, or an issue at all.

As for the tracks, they're all fine in my opinion.

The WEC calendar in real life suffers the issue where there is a lack of diversity in terms of the length of the races, and that, in my opinion, shouldn't be a prominent issue in the virtual world of F1 Rejects, or an issue at all.

Now the class structure and the calendar are finished, you can apply for the works teams. The following manufacturers are looking for teams to run their works effort:

-Audi LMP1
-Porsche LMP1
-Toyota LMP1
-Nissan LMP1

-Porsche GT
-Aston Martin GT
-Ferrari GT
-Chevrolet GT (*)
-SRT GT (*)

The SRT and Corvette works teams only take part at Le Mans and Indianapolis.

Just post the name of your team and why your team should be picked as the works team. You can apply for up to 2 teams, but then tell me which one you would prefer.

Deadline for applies is 1st January 2014, 10 PM CET.

After the works teams have been picked, former SARS teams have time to join until 6th January, and then the entry list will be open to everyone.

Himalayas Racing currently have an engine deal with Hyundai in the SARS series to go with their in-house chassis. Is there any chance that the engine deal will be carried over or is it a fresh slate for this series?

The GT class works quite different here compared to SARS. The teams don't build their own cars, but, more like in reality, but the GT cars from the manufacturers. So no Hyundai engines, at least not in the GT class.

Loyer Racing Technologies would like to apply for the Porsche LMP1 project or the Aston Martin GT project.(Porsche prefered)
LRT has a very big facility based in Austria. We are very close to many raceing tracks(f.e. Red Bull Ring) which allows us to test regularly.
When it comes to experience, well we don't have much in top level racing. But with our 2016 efforts in the RRT series and our effort in F1RSTC we are already on the way to gain experience. Until now, we didn't had the oportunity to realy show our capabilities.
Last but not least, i would like to mention the frienship between Hermann Loyer(team owner) and Ditrich Mateschitz(Red-Bull owner).

BOSS Automation, a current Porsche Reject Cup team, expresses their interest in running the factory Porsche GT effort. BOSS Automation is based out of Switzerland and is a young team. By the time they begin competing in this series next year, they will have completed the Fall Season of PRC. To compensate for their lack of experience, they have created a technical alliance with American team Ambrose-Milan Autosport, famous for their race wins in Alt Cart as well as Prost GP. Ambrose-Milan is currently fighting for the Independent Trophy in GT-R World Championship, recently securing a win at Paul Ricard.

BOSS Automation for Porsche GT for 2017!

Union Saver Developments, following our racing programme with Chevrolet in the GT-R, wishes to run once again the factory Vettes in Le Mans and Indianapolis. On the other side, we'll like to run the other rounds of the series with Nissan in the LMP-1. Our expertise in endurance racing, as can be see in the GT-R, is a priced factor.

The Plus One Group would like to apply to become the Works Toyota LMP1 squad. Since the foundation of the group in late 2014, our teams have already competed in F1RWRS, F2RWRS, F3RWRS, IFRC, F1RDS and GTR-WC, having grace dot he top step of the podium in F2 and F3RWRS, along with F1RDS. We have also competed in the now defunct Rejects Of LFS with race wining success, and had a short but fruitful spell in the F1RICS. By the start of 2017, we would have started our PRC and F1RSTC endeavours. Despite being quite a young organisation, I feel we have established ourselves in the upper echelons of Motorsport, and proven we have what to takes to compete for titles and victories.

A partnership with Plus One will allow Toyota to compete for outright victory in capable hands, working from our state of the art facility in Essex, finished midway through 2016. Not many teams can rival us in terms of experience, facilities, and desire to succeed.

RonDen will try to get the works Ferrari, after getting some experience as Scuderia Belgio in the GT-R WC, and the historically good relation between Ferrari and Belgium (see ENB) + we need yellow Ferraris!

Second choice is SRT. Because Vipers kicks ass.
