2017 Rejects World Motorcycle Trophy - Round of France

Pointrox · Post by **Pointrox** » 09 Apr 2014, 13:36

Hello guys

It's been a while since I've done one of these, so I'll try to put everything in as short a post as possible.
Basically, we have plenty of series going on right now, and this got me thinking...
Throwing another 4-wheel series for good measure? Nah, we have too many of these already!
Maybe three wheels will do? Been there, done that - rubbish!
Well, that leaves us with just two wheels then, and we only have the Cycling Challenge. Ha!
And that's where the great idea starts.

Rejects World Motorcycle Trophy (RWRT)
This is going to be the first motorcycle series in the RWRS universe, based on Microprose's GP500.
In it's first season, 22 riders will battle it out during 8 weekends, on various tracks around the world, to win the trophy.

Race weekend
Race weekend will start with a training session, followed by qualifying runs, concluding with a race.

Points
A scoring system from late 80s/early 90s will be used to award points to best 15 riders:

Code: Select all

20   17   15   13   11   10   9   8   7   6   5   4   3   2   1

Motorcycles
I don't want to mess too much with the files, so I'll keep the original 1998 500cc bikes. You can choose from:
- Honda NSR500/NSR500V
- Yamaha YZR500
- Suzuki RGV500
- MuZ 500
- Modenas KR3

Entry rules
Team can enter the competition with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2 riders, both using the same machinery.
Every team must submit their entry, including:
- team's name and nationality
- both riders' names and nationalities
- bike manufacturer and model, if applicable
- bike livery and riders' overalls, or an accurate description of such

Templates are available here: http://www24.zippyshare.com/v/84092118/file.html

Mid-season changes are welcome, but the rider has to enter a minimum of 2 weekends before he can be either switched back to the regular rider, or replaced with yet another one. There is a limit of 2 changes per season. Switching back to the regular driver, signed in the pre-season, is not counted.

Provisional 2017 calendar
4-5 February - Round of Japan, Suzuka *
11-12 February - Round of Malaysia, Johor *
25-26 February - Round of Australia, Philip Island
4-5 March - Round of France, Circuit Paul Ricard
18-19 March - Round of San Marino, Imola
8-9 April - Round of Czech Republic, Brno
15-16 April - Round of Benelux, Assen
22-23 April - Round of Spain, Catalunya
Rounds with an asterisk are subject to change.
An additional non-championship round is also planned.

Nope - numbers are given in order of submission, so you will get #2 and #3 for your riders.
But it's up to you who gets what number

Bike: Yamaha YZR500
Livery: TBA

Post by **Ataxia** » 09 Apr 2014, 19:42

Here's the final bits for the Alvarez entry. I'll be happy to help out with other requests too.

AndreaModa · Post by **AndreaModa** » 09 Apr 2014, 20:55

Yes! All over this.

I'm assuming this is going to be a canon series (can't see any reason why it wouldn't) so Jones Racing will establish a two-wheeled arm - Jones Motorcycle Competition.

Team: Dunlop Jones Motorcycle Competition (GBR)
Riders: Steve Watson (GBR) & Filippo Corsini (ITA)
Bike: Honda NSR500

EDIT: Can I just confirm, that in line with the actual real world bikes, that the NSR500 is the main V4 factory bike, and the NSR500V is the V2 privateer bike?

basically a BMW-Sauber knock-off, but with Gazprom stickers everywhere

Team Name: Québec Équipe de Moto (CAN)

Bike Model: Yamaha YZR500
Livery: Colors of the Quebec flag on the bike, with the fleurs-de-lis on the sides. For overalls, make them mainly white with blue fleurs-de-lis on them. A yellow stripe or two for either overalls or the bike would be nice.

AndreaModa · Post by **AndreaModa** » 09 Apr 2014, 23:20

Right, here's my poor attempt at a livery: https://www.mediafire.com/?6t46owtbk1od5qc

At some point I'd appreciate a preview in-game please Pointrox as I don't think I've got the placement and colours quite right.

Oh and kudos to anyone who can guess which real life MotoGP livery this was based on!

AxelP800 · Post by **AxelP800** » 10 Apr 2014, 02:37

Btw Pointrox, I will try to do my own livery

Hermann95 · Post by **Hermann95** » 10 Apr 2014, 12:33

Would it be possible to change my bike? There are already much Honda entries and i'd like to change to Yamaha if possible.

Was the Manx TT track an optional track in this game?

Post by **Nuppiz** » 10 Apr 2014, 17:25

Here's the rest of Mr. Ngendandumwe's bike.

Well, that was really inevitable. Why you keep asking for Manx TT track on nearly EVERY series here? :roll:

That aside, Victory will run a livery based on this:

The text "Victory" shall be written in the fairing with a serif font with gold color. Also, put as well a Hong Kong flag and an Air Asia logo somewhere.

Overalls are TBA.

Pointrox · Post by **Pointrox** » 10 Apr 2014, 18:14

Okay, we're full! Thank you all for this overwhelming response.
I will try to sort out the liveries, fix the ever-breaking GP500 and keep updating the thread with screenshots, some testing will be done and then we're off to the races!

FantometteBR, you will have to choose one of the two riders, since this season only 22 of them will compete.

Because it is the longest race track in the world and up until the mid 1970's, it held a round of the Motocycle World Championship.

Plus I would like to drive the circuit virtually at some point, not just in real life when I happen to be there in person...

The problem is, it's so long that most simulators simply can't handle it...

It's what I've been told. Maybe in 10 or 20 years' time?

The second Tomahawk Team Racing entry will go to 22 year old Macedonian Vlastimir Brankovich

Pointrox · Post by **Pointrox** » 11 Apr 2014, 19:35

Well, I did some alterations here and there and it seems I have one free entry left!
But instead of giving it away to one of the existing teams - I will let someone else take it for another one-bike entry and form a Lone Rider Cup, awarded to the best one out of those five single-rider entries.
Sign in while you can

RWMT Jarama Testing Day One - Lopez tops the charts
For the first time in history RWMT bikers could be seen hammering down the main straight of the Jarama circuit.
It comes as no surprise that Lopez went fastest, as he is a local boy, but half a second of difference between him and the second-fastest Strapoc is nonetheless staggering.
Especially if you take into account that between the fastest and the slowest time there's less than a second of difference, with Thomas Fuchs clocking 1:36.164, just a thousandth of a second behind Argentine Felix Villanueva.

AndreaModa · Post by **AndreaModa** » 14 Apr 2014, 21:02

Any chance of that preview Pointrox? My livery wasn't in that folder when you posted the link to it and I can't seem to see it at all now in your posts above?
