What is the INTERWAR CAREER SIMULATION?
The INTERWAR CAREER SIMULATION intends to be:
- a role-playing racing universe with it's own story line, spanning from 1923 until 1939, lasting from january until december 2025
- lived and played like an online multiplayer simracing game
- weekly online races with results that influence the story line (platform Assetto Corsa)
- decisions made by the players based on their options in the game that influence the story line
- automatic events based on the races results and random factors that influence the story line
Who can join?
Everyone can join, needing only to register a fictional character and start racing.
Will there be a Balance of Performance?
No, cars will be modded to have the most realistic performance. This mean that we hope to have the best drivers in the best cars, as was back in the day.
Will we race the best tracks in AC?
No, we will race the most period correct tracks and events, replacing only the strictly needed tracks.
Can I race even if I am not very good?
Yes, we will split the field between Gentleman drivers and Professional drivers. If you're not very good, you will race with the rest of the Gentleman drivers.
But I also want to see how I can perform against the best drivers, can I?
Yes, we have races every weekend and the basic calendar goes, week on, week off, like this:
- One weekend with a race for your level (Only Gentleman drivers or Only Professionals)
- The other weekend with a race where everybody races together, to keep the community and benchmark the drivers.
What if, at some point, I want my character to turn Professional?
Every Gentleman driver can turn Professional. This is done only once in the character career and can't be undone. A Professional will never again be able to race with the Gentleman drivers. There are 3 ways for a Gentleman Driver to turn Professional:
- If the "universe" has more Professional drivers than Gentleman drivers, a Gentleman driver turns Professional by winning a Formula Libre event or by winning a Gentleman drivers Competition;
- If the "universe" has 1, 2 or 3 more Gentleman drivers than Professional drivers, respectively 1, 2 or 3 Gentleman drivers can choose to turn Professional drivers;
- If the "universe" has 4, or more, Gentleman drivers, more than Professional drivers, 4, or more, Gentleman Drivers are forced to become Professional drivers, based on the Reputation Index, until the difference is only 3 drivers or less.
What is the Reputation Index?
Is a system that orders the drivers of the universe, taking into account the pure performance (based on absolute race results), the overachieving performance (based on how well a driver performs, given the expected performance of the car he drives), the race distance (based on how much a drivers attends races) and the clean driving (based on how few accidents a driver has). Once you get it, it's pretty straight-forward. It's the character that collects the Reputation, not the player. If your character retires or dies, a new character starts from zero.
So my character can die or retire?
Yes, if you have a very nasty accident your character will have a random probability to dye on track. We believe this honors the names of the great drivers that lost their lives back in the day. You can also choose to retire you driver and restart from zero in the middle of the Interwar period, if you want to for whatever reason (namely because you turned Professional and want to get back to Gentleman races).
How diverse will the INTERWAR CAREER SIMULATION be?
The INTERWAR CAREER SIMULATION will cover:
- 17 racing seasons
- 44 different car models, based on 30 different cars
- 30 different tracks
- 75 different events
- 10 different championships
All this with the closest recreational of real cars, tracks and events from this period of racing History
