Update Oct 2,2025

Grid filled for 2025, thanks everyone. Here is your initial update involving some work/communication amongst the teammates before we go ahead mid October 

 - 24 Teams = 48 players…. See all Players/Teams on blogsite https://lmesteamevents.blogspot.com/2025/09/lmes-team-event-12.html

Kindly revert to me until Oct 8th with the Team names you want to use and your pick on chassis/engine/tires per rules for Round 1 below. Once I have all Team Decisions, www.random.org will decide the groups.

The series will have 5 seasons this year and it covers all 4 classes. We start with GTS class, followed by GT in Round2. Five seasons in such a competitive grid is a tough challenge, each point counts. For the fun to play, the series will differ a bit from standard LMES and not allow standard car/DC choices. All suppliers and DC must communicate by PM to the host before season starts. This should prevent some teams waiting to see choices of others

1. First 4 rounds are Qualifying for The Final. Starting Groups will be chosen via www.random.org

2. Point system: Standard LMES Points, aggregate count of Rounds 1 to 4. The Final (Round 5) will start from scratch, each team will have 0 points at start

3. Car options for classes

Note: each TEAM has ONE single WILDCARD option to replace the given chassis, when used it is ticked off!

- Round 1 in GTS: Each team MUST use LODGE or LANTORINO chassis (Wildcard: TOYOTA)

- Round 2 in GT: Each team MUST use BMW 03 or BMW 04 (Wildcard: LANTORINO)

- Round 3 in LMP1: Each team MUST use DANOS or LEICESTER (Wildcard: AUDI or TETLEY subject to availibility)

- Round 4 in LMP2: Each team MUST use HELTER/POGO or TILLGREN/MANTRA (Wildcard: XITECH)

- Round 5 The Final in LMP1: Each team MUST use DALLAMA or XITECH (Wildcard: McGUNNAGE)

5. Tires: You MUST use different tires in each round! Teams can decide WHEN to use WHICH!  Options are Llanelli, Coco, Mitchell, Donelap, Yokouno. Rounds 1 & 2 will be without any Wildcard! For Rounds 3-5 each team has a Wildcard to use GOODYEAR tires oNCE)

6. Driver Characteristics: The game offers 17 different DCs, but THINKER and CHARISMA are both unavailable in the whole contest! The remaining 15 different DCs must be used ONLY ONCE across all Seasons! This means ALL remaining DCs must be used, even Bender and Lucky

5. Groups/Teams per class - Groups for Rounds 2 to 4 will be re-allocated by ranking - at season end the lowest ranked teams on aggregate count will be knocked out (regardless of group)

 

	No. of Teams	Groups	Teams per Group	Teams eliminated
Round 1 GTS	24	3	8	0
Round 2 GT	24	3	8	3
Round 3 LMP1	21	3	7	5
Round 4 LMP2	16	2	8	6
Round 5 LMP1	10	1	10

 Worth to note:

DRIVERS title is not your key target; you need to rely on your teammate. If someone really has obligations outside of BAT and needs a sabbatical during the series, please inform your teammate and the host. I will ensure that a replacement will be found swiftly. Team names should be unchanged throughout contest and at least one driver must finish all 5 rounds (if both drivers need to be replaced, the team will be kicked from the game).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The LMES Team Event will be back for season #10. Starting marketing well in advance to give you time to reserve a private slot for start around OCTOBER 10th and allow for 5 months of play. Aiming for a grid of 20 teams (#9 started with 24 teams)

 

This year, the series will have only 4 seasons and it runs through all 4 classes. We will have a mixed mode this time, starting with LMP2, followed by GT and then LMP1 for the 3 qualifying rounds. We never had a Final in GTS, so it is time for that. As usual, the series will differ from standard LMES by restricting car choices, DCs and knock-outs. Detailed rules will be communicated after grid is filled.

 

As mentioned above, first 3 rounds will serve as qualifying for the Final. Those first 3 rounds will be calculated on an aggregate basis Standard LMES count. Round 4, the GTS Final, will be played by the 10 best teams after Round 3. On the way there will be eliminations in order to reduce the field to the target number.

 

Worth to note:
DRIVERS title is not your key target, you need to rely on your teammate. If someone really has obligations outside of BAT and needs a sabbatical during the series, please inform your teammate and the host. I will ensure that a replacement will be found swiftly. Team names should be unchanged throughout contest and at least one driver must finish all 4 rounds (if both drivers need to be replaced, the team will be kicked from the game).

If you are interested to participate pls negotiate with a teammate of choice. At this point in time I’d like to exclude double accounting (may not be the final word on it). If someone doesn’t have a teammate pls take a look at my blogspot where you can find other players looking for teammates

Looking forward to a great winter challenge
