I'm writing the results massaging module for DeMONS/3, and one of the features of the module is that it allows you to pick your own favorite points schedule to use for scoring races. This also includes coming up with your own custom poinst schedules. The module will come with as many pre-defined points schedules as I can find, and so far, I have schedules for the following series: NASCAR IRL CART F1 IROC CASCAR I was looking around for a points schedule for Austrailian V8 Supercars, but apparently they have some new super-secret way to award points, and I can't find it (or the prior points schedule) described anywhere. If you know the points system for V8 supercars, I'd like to know what it is. If you know of a real-life racing series that has a different points schedule that you think is suited to Nascar Racing sims, let me know.
This link http://www.v8supercars.com.au/technical/rules/v8sspoints.htm will give you the points system for V8 Supercars, Konica Series, Technical rules and other info. Hope this helps :) Sid. "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Christ almightie! Each event could potentially have it's own points schedule? No wonder the superceded that (and people think Nascar points system doesn't make any sense). Well, I think I'm gonna use the one used by most of the tracks. 1st= 80, 2nd=64, and so on. If anyone wants to add the others, they can be my guest. Thanks for the info. :) In article <3e13711f$0$22505$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says...

Can you also set it up like the FIA GT series where the 24hr race at Spa counts for Quad points? Points are awarded every 6 hours as if a race had been completed. If you are leading at each of the four 6 hour marks, it's like winning 4 races back to back. :) dave henrie --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
