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

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.
