Race Teams

 I've been mulling an idea around for a bit, and I think I'll give it a go. Not going to hurt anything; will be more of a curiosity than anything. 

My plan has been to start another championship season. It's been a long time since I did that, and it was such a good way to do things that I swore I would do it again. So here we are. I'll get more into the race setup in a bit, but one thing I wanted to add were race teams. 

Now that I have enough cars to do something like this, I thought I might as well try it. 

The idea will be to have team points, which would basically be whatever points for the race the car made, carried over. So if a car scores 8 points in the race, that's 8 points to the team. There will be a separate standings and scoresheet for that, much like in regular racing. 

Any car that can team up with any other that shares a primary sponsor can be a team. So let's see who's eligible.

Gulf Porsche Team

The matchup that started the whole ball rolling. NSR 917K and 908/3.

Team Sunoco

Should be great competition for the Team Championship. Thunderslot McLaren M6A and NSR Porsche 908/3.

Shell Team

A very interesting combination, I must say. Almost an odd couple. Curious to see what happens with this team. Slot.it GT40 and Revoslot Ferrari 333.

So that's what I have so far for teams. A couple things: I kept the Gulf GT40 off the Gulf Team as it had the dark blue livery, and adding another car to that team would have been unfair. Also, there's a chance that another team will be added, if I buy the next car I'm planning to buy [who am I kidding?]. If/when that happens, they'll be inserted into the championship and start competing right away. But I still have to buy the car first....

Races are going to be like the first championship I ran. It'll be a series of layouts, each one new. Lap lengths will vary depending on factors, like my ability to dedicate the time to it. All cars will compete. Now that I have a clock, I won't stop it, which means that crashes will matter now, as I have to re-slot the car after one. 

I'm hoping to get the first race of the season started soon.
