Welcome to the second official season of the Ultimate Race Manager. It's time to battle for the prestigeous title of URM. There are a few changes from the first season, but mostly everything has stayed the same.
CHANGES
1. When managers from the same team pit in the same lap, the manager behind has to wait until the one in front has made his pit.
2. Overtaking is still possible only on easy overtake tracks, but the difference needed to overtake is normalised to 0,4s/km on easy and 0,2s/km on very easy tracks. This will make overtaking very slightly more difficult compared to earlier arbitrary values picked by me.
3. As changed already in the end of the last season, if you have different tyres (rain/inter/dry) compared to your opponent you will pass if you are 0,4s/km faster.
BASICS
Basically this game is simplified GPRO, where strategy is the only important factor. No randoms, no spins, no random weather, and as this will be all about strategy, hard or no overtaking. Also, this does NOT require your real GPRO race strategy and races will be held in different tracks. The season is 12 races long. 1 Race per week which is run every Saturday, while the deadline for sending strategies is 23:59 CET Friday.
Qualify
Starting positions will be decided from your qualify tyres and starting fuel choise. In case of the same time, the one who sent it before will be in front.
Race pace
From each lap you get a lap time. This laptime is affected by the base laptime of the track, your fuel, tyre wear and a collective random effect, which is same for everyone, but changes from lap to lap.
Pitstops
Pitstops happen when you don't have enough fuel or tyres for another lap. On pitstop you will change tyres and fuel to the amount you have specified. If you pit with more fuel, it won't be removed. Pitstop time depends on fuel you add to the car. (Pitstop time = Time in/out pits + 0.12 * Fuel you have specified). Time doesn't depend on how much fuel you have when you come into pits, so if you specify 80 litres, you will have a 9,6s stop regardless of how much fuel you have when you come to pits.
If you pit on the same lap as your teammate, you will have to wait until his pit is finished.
Overtaking
Overtaking is possible on easy and very easy tracks. On easy tracks you need 0,4s/km pace difference to pass and on very easy tracks 0,2s/km. Also, if you have different tyres compared to your opponent, you can pass if you are 0,4s/km faster.
WEATHER
Each race has it's unique weather forecast. It consists of
a) Temperature
b) Humidity
c) Rain intensity
given for 1-3 periods. If rain intesity changes between periods, track wetness will change too, but not instantly. The track will get more wet quite quickly, but it may take some time to dry.
COMPETITION
Season standings
Main competition is the season standings where scoring system is 15-12-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 for each race.
Individual Cup
After two race 32 best managers will be seeded into cup competition consisting of 5 rounds with 2-2-2-2-2 races. In rounds with 2 races the winner is who
a) Won both races
b) Won a race by more positions than he lost
c) Won a race by more seconds than he lost
d) Scored more points over those two races
e) Was seeded higher
Missed race counts as number of participants + 1.
One Big Race/Qualify/Fastest lap
All season times are added to one big race/qualify/fastest lap as in GPRO. Missed race equals slowest time of that race +20s for one big race, slowest time +0,5s for one big qualify and fastest lap.
Teams
Two players per team. Teams can be only of past or present F1 teams. Collaboration between different teams is not allowed.
Team orders: Never let through/always let through.
Teams participate in team standings (As in F1) and in Team Cup where 16 teams are seeded after race 2 into four rounds which last 2-2-3-3 races. Team cup works in the same way as individual cup with average position and race time.
You can pick background and text colour for your team from this table (or specify a colour otherwise):
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO RACE?
Just send me a message with tyre and fuel choise. For example:
Soft tyres and 70/70/70 litres of fuel.
There are 7 tyre compounds: H.Soft, E.Soft, Soft, Medium, Hard, Intermediate and Rain. Harder compounds are usually slower, but they last longer, Intermediates and Rain tyres are used on wet track. If needed, you can specify different tyres for qualify, start and each pit, but you can use only one dry compound.
Fuel is from 10L to 180L.
Deadline for sending strategies is on Fridays at 23:59 CET.
Data storage
If you want to win, you should store a bit of data. For example if you use 200 litres of fuel in low fuel using track, you can count your fuel consumption and be ready when another low fuel consuming track comes. However it varies from track to track and in different conditions so the more data you store the better.
