Hot-Lap Qualifying, 6 Lap Sprint Race and 9 Lap Feature Race
Sunday, October 7th @ 8:00 pm EDT (24:00 GMT)
Round 1 at Mid-Field Raceway saw 19 drivers giving their all to prove they had what it takes to stand atop the podium and lay claim to being the best. We move on to Japan and the Suzuka Circuit for Round 2 and see if the podium finishers can maintain their standing and who else can step up to the challenge and take their places.
Located in Suzuka City in Mie Prefecture, Suzka Circuit is the home of famous races like the Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours motorcycle endurance race, the 1000 km race in the JGTC/SuperGT Series and the home of the F1 Japanese Grand Prix until 2006. This figure-8-like circuit designed by John Hugenholtz in 1962 for the Honda Motor Company was originally a testing track for their cars and motorcycles. It may look somewhat unique, but don't let it fool you. This is designed to really test your driving skill. It's no wonder this difficult course is loved by many drivers and spectators alike. Suzuka is truly challenging and provides for many overtaking opportunities.
All rules, regulations, car specifications, and races are controlled by the GTP Clio Cup officials. Any and all questions should be directed to the GTP Clio Cup officials(CAMikaze and RACECAR) and they will do their best to answer in a timely and accurate manner.
All drivers must run at the specified Tires, Top Speed, Weight and Horsepower settings for each round.
All Other Standard Online Racing Rules apply.
- No Cheating, Hybrids, or any funny stuff like that. Run the car according to the Specifications please.
- Try and keep two wheels on the road at all times. No shortcuts.
- No wall-riding. It slows you down.
- TCS and/or ACS is allowed IF DESIRED, but NOT mandatory.
- Discussion of the split times is allowed but the full lap and race times are not be mentioned in the thread until the results have been posted and made official. Doing so will subject the driver to a time penalty to be added on to the qualifying and/or race time.
- Times must be submitted by PM to CAMikaze and RACECAR by the Deadline listed. Otherwise a time penalty of 1 second for every minute after the deadline it is sent in by will be assesed to the Qualifying and Race times. Should the time submission not be sent in to the GTP Clio Cup Stewards by 2 hours after the deadline has passed, the times sent in after then will not be counted in the results.

- Some Ground Rules: At 130R(just past T2) there is a tarmac runoff area so that you would be able to go off course if you took the turn too fast. Should you go on there and you were making an attempt to pass, you're to let the AI car(s) you were passing get back in front of you. Failing to do so by time you get off of the patch should be considered a dirty lap. If you were forced off, you're allowed to maintain position at your own discretion and get back on the track as soon as possible.
- There are also some green turf strips that run along the side of some of the rumble strips. These are considered to be part of the track and inbounds.
- On the outside of the Spoon Curve, there's also what appears to be alternating red and white rails right by the rumble strips. They're inbounds as well. But exercise caution should you go along them for you might lose control very easily and go off into the gravel trap.
- Again regarding submitting your times, for the Clio Cup Season once you have submitted your times, they're locked in and can not be changed. If you believe you can do better, hold off on sending the times in until you believe you cannot do any better or don't think you would have any more time to try to set a faster time. And make sure you PM your final times to myself(CAMikaze) and RACECAR before the race deadline so that you don't get asessed any penalties. 👍
And with all that said...
Good luck, and good racing to all of you!
👍
👍
6 or 9 lap ok!
👍
I noticed I wrote out something about the lap time discussions twice.
I'll take care of it...
This I found out when I was doing some test racing for the series with the AI at +4.
:tup: As for my racing, I didn't do much improvment on the DTM round taking place at the Test Track this week. It's pretty much top priority that you get your car in a draft as soon as possible. Otherwise, you'll most likely be far behind in the results.
