F1 Rejects Super Touring Cup 2016-2017
The F1 Rejects Super Touring Cup was founded by Vincent Lilley and another man,whose idendity remains unknown, last year. They set off for your usual nine-race series across the world,but this was not any other normal racing series. Instead,classic touring cars from the 80's and 90's were restored,refurbished,and,most importantly, raced. After Martin McGovern won the championship in breathtaking fashion at Bathurst earlier this year,the F1RSTC continues on into a second season. A season that is sure to live up to the excitement of the past season,and hopefully one that will go down in the history books as one of the best.
Ratings
Once again,this series is using xkoranate,that has three ratings parameters: Speed,Cornering and Reliability. The car you choose will provide 60% of the ratings,the remaining 40% of ratings will be provided by driver ratings. The rules and guidelines of driver ratings are as follows:
--Each driver is allowed to use 13 ratings points maximum on Speed and Cornering.(Not Reliability,that will be covered later)
--Speed and Cornering each have a max rating of 10.Anyone who sets these ratings higher than that will be asked to redo their ratings.
--Reliability will be mostly dependent on your car choice. Only a maximum of 2 reliability points can be added or subtracted to the car's value,and is exchangable with driver points.(eg.Chris has 8 Speed and 5 Corniering points,but Victor has 7 Speed,5 Cornering and one additional reliability point)
Teams & Drivers
Teams can once again be in the form of one car or two carm teams. And,just like last season,only one model of car is allowed per team.The models of cars will be listed below.
Drivers of any nationality and age are permitted,as long as they are above 15 years old. However,drivers competing in F1RWRS,F2RWRS and IFRC full-time are not allowed to enter.Part-time entrants in F2RWRS and IFRC are allowed though.
Teams are to sign up using the following template:
Tracks & Calendar
As this series is using xkoranate,this series will,like the now defunct Big Car championship,allow users to submit their own tracks into the F1RSTC calendar. However,there are some rules pertaining to track submissions this year:
--Unless otherwise stated, only ONE track per user is allowed. Subsequent tracks will be ignored.
--Road courses are preferred to street circuits,though that doesn't mean street circuits are banned from being submitted.
--Fictional tracks that have been featured previously on the F1RSTC calendar can be resubmitted by anyone (e.g. Akrotiri Bay,Clyde River,Holy See),as long as the layout remains unchanged. Stats need not be sent in for these tracks,though if a layout change is present,the original creator of the track must resubmit the track with new stats.
--Any resubmission of a track as stated above will count as your track in the "one-track per user" rule.
--Only tracks from Europe,Asia & Oceania are allowed,as the calendar below states.
--Tracks must have Speed and Cornering figures,distance and lap record. (Explained below)
--Tracks must be submitted with the template below:
Track Image:(Images if possible,though an URL is also allowed.)
Track Name:
Location:
Length:
STATS
Speed: (Determines how much speed is a factor. E.g. A fast circuit like Monza has a high speed value,8.5 for example.Twisty tracks like Monaco has a low speed value,like 2.)
Cornering: (Determines handling needed. Twisty tracks like Marina Bay have high cornering figures,plain fast tracks like AVUS have low cornering figures)
Lap Record: (For reference,Norisring is around 54 sec,Brands Hatch is 1:30 and Spa is 2:30)
The provisional calendar has also been set,with some tracks and the remaining dates being announced. The tracks that have been confirmed is the season opener at the Spa SuperPrix,the F1RWRS support race in Buenos Aires,the season closer at Bathurst and,finally, the race at Durham Tees Airport,as Jutti777 won the Track Design Competition with the prize of that track being in a F1RSTC race. Also,the date fits perfectly,as it (almost) supports the RRC's race at Croft,just five miles down the road.Admittedly,there are some scheduling conflicts with major events,so please be wary and take note of any clashes in schedule as mentioned in the calendar below.
F1RSTC Calendar

Cars
The main reason why the F1RSTC stands out from the rest is the cars. The co-founder of the F1RSTC has had to restore and recreate each of these cars to their peak condition for racing in the F1RSTC. And some cars have their features and their flaws. The Alfas and Lancias have less than dependable reliability,while the BMW M3 can run for ever. However,it's speed is at the lower end of the range,compared to the Commodore,with its HOLDEN POWER to blast past others.However,it handles worse than an eight-year old gherkin,allowing the more nimble cars like the Lancias and the Alfas to gain an edge. This year sees two new addition to the car range:the Mazda 323,used by Mazda's rally team,is recreated,bringing reliability and handling into the F1RSTC. The second new car,though,is a tad bit more desirable. The Jaguar XJS makes its debut in the F1RSTC this year,having proved its worth in both Bathurst and Europe.It's speed certainly shows,with almost average handling and reliability.
Like last year,only two teams per car,primarily to conserve these machines and to make sure the field is evenly spread.Each car has it's own stats and figures,which,as mentioned before,is vital to both a team's and driver's success.Choose wisely,as you cannot change cars midway through a season.
