Look at it this way, gents:

With the sign ups we've already got, all of which are people who support or have supported the Cats, we have 14 drivers accepted, meaning we're already 2/3 full on a 21 car grid.

These are the numbers I'm looking at that prompted my re-opening of the expansion question.

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

In this case I would be for expand that numbers in my opinion

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I'm still not going to do it right now, but I do want to keep you lot in on my thought processes as this is your Club and League as well as mine, and any decisions made will affect us all.

I do want to stress again that expanding the mod size will have no bearing on my approval policy, and Cat Club supporters will get first preference for a League seat.

 

[Gary Lennon]

Im for sure going to be in for this,im just working out a cunning plan i.e. (waiting for a team m8 to declare himself team leader and sort everything out)....... >

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Attention skinners

I will be supplying some League logos, numberplates, font specifications etc over the weekend, which must be used for your League vehicles.

The numberplates (ie your competition number - NOT the registration plates) must be located on the rear bulkhead and the top surface (engine cover or nose) of your vehicle, but as long as they are visible, placement on there is up to you.

The series logo must be visibly displayed along the sides of the vehicle between the front axle and the rear mudguards, but again the final location is up to you.

I'll be supplying a couple of versions of the league logo, one with predominantly black text, one with predominantly white, so it is visible on both light and dark cars.

All skins within a team have to be differentiated by the drivers Competiton number, but there is NO need to differentiate beyond the number if you don't want to.

As there are two nominal BVM teams (Gold & Silver) please make sure that you clearly differentiate between the liveries of each Team.

I'll be contacting the nominated team leaders with a very small questionnaire that should hopefully make everything nice and simple for you all. I'll want a description of all teams racing colour schemes (included in the questionnaire) returned to me via PM please, so I can inform you all - and any future teams - if there are any colour clashes as soon as possible.

That way, no-one gets nearly finished and finds out that another team has an almost identical livery.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Gary Lennon]

Just pick a number?,nowt to do with standard game skins and those numbers then eh?.....i would like my usual race number of 31 if possible.

Ecurie Ocelot Unleashed!

​

Ross McGregor #32 Wayne Reed #25 Stuart Thomson #55​

Tonight i can exclusively reveal the livery Ecurie Ocelot for the inaugural RaceDepartment rFactor Caterham league season.​

Painted by the skilled hands of Stuart Thomson, the three liveries are distinguishable through flashes of colour on the front headlights and body, (silver in my case) and personalised with custom number plates and driver-specific emblems. (As well as flagrantly advertising my motorsport photography site)​

Representing Scotland with a Saltire plastered on the side of my Cat will be me; the St. George's cross of England emblazons Stuart's car; and rather diplomatically, Wayne has opted for a Union Flag to adorn his vehicle!​

All three of us are looking forward to a quality season's worth of racing, and have raced each other fairly and competitively for many months in GTL and rFactor, with very similar pace, hence the decision to become team-mates. As the youngster of the trio, I will be expecting to learn a lot from my co-drivers over the coming season, (no pressure guys!) while Stuart and Wayne also dovetail RD Admin & Media committments alongside their sim-racing.​

Thanks for reading,

Cheers!​

Here's the pack contents

2x League logos (1 light, 1 dark) for the car sides between the axles
1x Avon Tyres sponsored number plates - one goes on the top surface of the car (nose or engine cover) the other on the rear bulkhead
1x font to be used on the numberplates (VAG Rounded BT)

Anyone have any new thoughts or feedback on the possibility of grid slot expansion to 30 after Friday's event, and the speed of this week's sign ups, at all?

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

I think we could try increase it in the club racing for first, I think we will have full grid even maybe today

i would increase it and see how we go, you could have ran 30 cars at Phillip island without probs as its such a wide open track and the only bottleneck was at the hairpin. not tried fridays track yet, but i have every confidence in you Stu, so if oyu think we can handle 30 cars lets do it baby

 

[Stuart Thomson]

OK - keep 'em peeled for an update :good:

We'll try it out over the next couple of weeks, and see how we go.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Just so you all know up front, if we do go to a 30 slot League, there will be a few knock on effects:

1. points will expand down to 20th place - This is the format I've been using for a couple of years now in GTL for the RDHGP (some of you may have heard of it ). Putting the scores down to 2/3rds the grid allows people further down the table to get into some rivalries with people of roughly their pace, plus - as it is a Team Competition - allows them to scrap it out for those last few points that may make all the difference over all. The scoring goes 25 points for 1st, then 22, 20, 18, 16, then in 1 point decrements down to 1 point for 20th.

2. The number of Race 1 finishers reversed for the Grid of Race 2 (in the 2 race sprint events) will increase from the original 6 to the top 8 places.

This is only, of course, if we do go to a 30 slot League.

I am on holiday from Sat 14th - Fri 20th, so I won't be able to respond to queries between these dates

Please could you use it on all your screenshots, videos etc from the season.
