Congratulations to Brian van Beusekom for winning round 2 of the Champion Motorsports 8 Round Championship for e-Sports Time Trials! Round 2 was contested with Race Room Experience and an amazing Historic Corvette at Suzuka West! Brian layed down a smoking time almost a second faster than what was a very quick field of drivers entering. A shout out to Jon Uyan and Bailey Lagstrum for rounding out the podium!

Also since we had 15 drivers we earned a bonus race with this car and track!!! Details will be posted soon on the race. That will be an additional opportunity to earn bonus points for the contest!

Since Brian also shared a video of his hotlap on youtube he has also received 2 bonus points!

I am happy to announce the next round of the CMS Time Trial Championship!!!! We will be using Automobilista and the Formula-Vintage (F-Vintage 1967) F1 Cars! Your challenge this round will be to use any of the F-Vintage 67 vehicles to turn your best lap at Johanesburg Historic Layout (aka Kyalami South African GP). This is an amazing car, and an amazing track for them, back to the glory days of racing and very GPL like! Again you may use any of the 1967 F-Vintage cars for this contest!



You have until end of day May 15th to get your lap time in!!!

We will be using the following ongoing leaderboard
http://virtualxperience.net/leaderbo...urg-historic/1

This is the way it works with Automobilista

Launch the game, and select the F-Vintage 1967 cars.
Then click on Time Trial
Choose the Track and start lapping!
your time will be automatically added to the leaderboard.

Important note for this round. Automobilista displays your Steam name in the leaderboard, and I don't know everyone's steam name, so please as you post a lap or improve a lap share it here with your Name, Ranking position and the laptime and I will go validate it. If you improve it please update it in this thread. The accountability will be on every driver to post here so I don't miss anyone.

Last but not least, if we get 15 drivers in the contest I will host a bonus race on this track/sim for extra points!!!

Congrats to Mihaly on a very impressive win and a great drive by Matt late in the contest to clip Michael for 2nd, in the first event of our CMS e-sports Time Trials Championship!!! The first of 8 rounds was organized here on the CMS forums and hosted in Assetto Corsa with the NA Miata street car at Donington. Mihaly was fast early over the two week time period and was never lower than second place in the standings. Michael Kolar would hold on to a podium after leading for a while as well as this driver of the real car was very impressive as well. Late in the contest CMS Historics and iRacing regular Matt Geddes came in for a 2nd place run to be on the podium as well.

Here is a look at the fastest time from Mihaly and because he has posted a video from youtube, he will gain 2 bonus points for the effort!

Provisional results and points after round 1 of the 8 round championship ...

As you all are seeing I am starting to host some time trials and e-sports events here at CMS! Sometimes, they will be stand alone events just hosted by us and sometimes they will tie into an ongoing larger e-sports contest hosted by a provider. As we do these I want to conduct a Championship. I am planning on it being at least 8 events, with 2 drop events -- so best 6 count. That way if anyone has missed our early contest they will not be penalized.

Points will work really simply and will be tracked here. The points will be distributed from first to last with the winner receiving the same amount of points for the entries. Then down in reverse order. So if we have 15 drivers, then the winner gets 15 and the 15th place driver gets 1, and everyone else the corresponding points in between.



Also for each event hosted, if we get 15 drivers to participate then I will setup a private, and exclusive race for those drivers to participate in on the same car and track with bonus points ...

The first 2 events have been launched

1. Miata NA (Assetto Corsa) at Donnington - Ends 4/16/2017 -- still time to get in!!!!
2. This is not your Mothers Miata at Suzuka - Corvette - Race Room Experience Ends April 30th

Come in participate, have fun and enjoy a little different format!!!

In Sum ...

8 Events
2 Drops
15 or more drivers and each time trial gets converted to a bonus race with extra points ...

We will be using a variety of sims. I expect Assetto Corsa, RaceRoom Experience, Automobilsta, rFactor2, and / or iRacing ...

So this will test your versatility as a simracer!
