BMW M3 GTS Spec-Series

Ok so I have decided that I wanted to make sure that I "redeem" myself from the incredibly bad Blancpain Endurance Series back a few months ago. So I have decided that this series was going to be easy, simple and fun. So I present to you, the BMW M3 GTS series.

In case you don't know, the BMW M3 GTS is basically a lightened stripped more powerful BMW m3, which as well all know is a stripped down, more powerful BMW 3 series. The M3 GTS was unveiled in 2010 with a limit production models of 250, by now BMW claims that they sold all of the models and will be making no more, well they are right, because I bought 249 of them(1 drug dealer in Compton bought the other), And since I am gracious, I have decided to let you guys drive them in a series I am hosting on my home planet to have some fun.

I have the build already completed, but if you wanna build the car yourself once completed, the good stuff should look like this.

Spoiler:

Here is the build for this car.

Spoiler:

Gearing Setup: These are required, they CANNOT be adjuusted

Spoiler:

The racing format will be setup similar to how we ran the German SuperCar series, with a big race on the full track, with them a sprint style race on a shorter track, here are the tracks I will be running. There will be a pit window for the big race, however there will be no pit window for the sprint race. Lobby order will be reversed for the sprint race as well.

I will gift out the number board and tunes to anyone who wants to enter, there will be a main tire sponsor(Dunlop) so please make sure to have a Dunlop logo, I will also supply that logo on the car, other than that the car is free for you do what you please to it.

I will host the US/NA lobby, if anyone would like to host the EUR lobby, please let me know, I will graciously allow you(and slide some cR your way as well)

what are the chances of pushing back the NA start time 30 minutes?

Looking great! I'm in even if i will not race them all cause of others engagement i have on wednesday

Great job on organizing this Bobbo I'm in

Tunes have been sent out to everyone who has said "yes" so far, that includes everyone in this list. You can adjust everything on that car, EXCEPT for the gearing of the transmission, they are set to the real life specs of the GTS, you MUST keep them the way they are, if not.

1st offense: Warning

2nd offense: DQ from previous result, automatic last qualifying spot, 5 spot penalty on your finish for next race.

3rd offense: removal from series

You know if you go by your build it comes out as a:

S609

450hp

321lb-ft

2885lbs

Front: 51%



Just saying

LOL, ill have to adjust it then, because that was going to be the original build, but I re-tweaked it because A class the car felt more comfortable, ill send you the build in a bit

Got it, I was so tired yeterday. Went to work at 8:30am on Mon and didn't get off till 2:30am Tue morning. Got some good hours in. But I drop the weight to a sport weight, did the job. Now start playing with the tune.

This car/build is a little bit of a handful out of the gate. Given that it's weight is 3257lbs. I have found somethings that have helped being able to get back to the throttle sooner on corner exit without hazing the tires.

I am sure like always my laps times are going to be way off from everyone else but right now I am consistant in the 1:55 with a best of 1:54 and change...

Wish we didn't have to use these stupid Forza Wings, it makes it look ricey

Indeed it does MSMX6.....indeed it does......

oh well, if you dont like it, then dont race it XD

Please remember that organising an event is alot of work and stress. Please respect the organisers rules and regs and if your not happy pm them privately or dont participate. No one is obligated and it can be frustrating when criticism is cast for all the effort and work thats done behind the scenes.

Bobbo today you said the series starts 'this Wednesday' but the start date is the 19th correct?

Yes, I made the error earlier today, it is the 19th, not the 12th like I said previously

So, after much thought, I decided to spice this up a little bit by doing the following tournament as well.

"The Tire Manufacture Challenge"

Basically, it will be Dunlop drivers vs Hankook drivers, so Private message me which manufacture you will wanna represent. There will be a reward to the winning manu, so please make your choice quick.

Note: I will make this even teams(4 v 4, 5 v 5 etc) so if you join and there is an odd number, I will add you to the other team.

Team Hankook

Team Dunlop

Note: Captain's really aren't really captains, just a fancy name lol
