Team Racing
« on: February 21, 2016, 09:21:40 PM »
We have been doing some hour long endurance races where we have driver changes.

We have been using fuel stops as the time to do driver change...and creating a combined driver profiles.
This has been working but now we think it could be expanded

What we would like is:
-Single driver profiles with their normal options for throttle map etc (with RCS knowing the drivers are teamed)
-RCS showing which driver is in the car with personal lap count and how far minimum and maximum number laps they are (this is mentioned later, it prevents a team from running the strongest driver for 90% of the race)
-RCS having options to force driver change by number of laps (so we don't have to use fuel burn)  or manually while in pits (when using fuel burn + so a team can choose to double stint)
-RCS having options for forced alternation of drivers to maximum stints together (in double or triple etc)
-RCS having Min and maximum number of lap rules so one driver doesn't do all the driving
-What also would be cool is during a series put a pool of drivers together and randomly team them (team changes randomly each race) the driver gets individual points awarded which would make a fun variation to a race series

We have been doing this too at our race nights. It would be great to have these team features.

The New Oxigen version we are working hard on will have this.

Good to hear Martin. The guys at my race nights agree, the team racing enduro makes for an excellent format! I usually have 6 to 12 guys and with running teams of two and people switching drivers every time they run out of fuel and marshalling when they are not driving, it keeps everyone involved and the down time at a minimum.

Thank you guys so much for your hard work on this system.

Sounds good, do you already have the Oxigen system?
