Car Assignment List:

Drivers will be assigned cars according to this list,
based upon their finishing positions in the previous race.

If a racer did not participate in the preceding race,
car assignment will be determined by their finishing position in the last race they did finish.
If a new racer joins partway through an event or the series,
they will be assigned to drive the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale '63 to start off.
And be allowed whatever position is given them in Reverse Grid Order.
Any participant who finds at the time of racing they are missing their assigned vehicle or it does not meet the regulations,
will be given a 1 time waiver to participate using the next car up in the list than their assignment.
(If their assignment was the Spitfire, the waiver is nullified.)

Big THANK YOU to snowgt who helped pick out the cars to use based on testing, and to Audiman2011, jackargent, doodlemonoply, MarkB75, & Coreyb who helped test the cars in test racing. 👍

Rules:
Drivers will follow the GTP OLR Rules
Please familiarize yourself with these rules prior to the event.
More info on rules & guidelines are specified below to clarify expected track etiquette.

• You are expected to race clean & fair, and to behave like sporting gentlemen at all times.
• Dirty driving is absolutely forbidden.
• Please freely ask questions if you are unsure about any of the rules & guidelines.
• What is "clean" or "dirty" driving? : "Driving in an aggressive manner where your intention is to collide or distract the opposition is considered "dirty" driving. Driving in a manner where you have respect for other drivers on the course and avoiding body contact wherever possible is considered "clean" driving." - MSTER232.
• Post-race penalties may be issued for rule violations, in order to preserve clean racing and fairness - you have been advised.
• If you cause a contact, you must make contact concessions. ie: no bump-passing! This is NOT a hit-to-pass derby. Bumping another car off their line to take their position is considered DIRTY.
• Failure to make contact concessions will result in a post-race penalty concession. (ie: you will be placed below that racer in the results - or be demoted in finish position otherwise accordingly)
• "But it wasn't on purpose." is not a valid excuse for failing to make contact conessions. If your mistake, or your car's movement, caused the collision, you must make the contact concession, or you will receive a post-race concession penalty.
• "I didn't know it was my fault." is not a method to avoid penalty. The only exceptions to contact concession rule is if the car you hit was already spun out, improperly re-entering the track, or if you hit the ahead car because you were hit from behind. If you are not certain about the fault and choose to not make concession, and it is determined you were at fault, a post-race concession penalty will be imposed.
• Caution must be exercised when re-entering the track after an off-road excursion caused by any reason.
• Careless driving, recklessness, & aggressive risky maneuvers may result in post-race penalties, and will certainly result in your fellow racers being ill tempered. Everyone makes errors from time to time -- but repeated excessive aggressive or sloppy driving that is frequent or persistent is entirely avoidable by even the least skilled of drivers. It takes no special skill to slow down & get your car back under control. (If you are making contact often when you're near other cars on the track, or bumping often in the corners, this is a good indication that your driving may be considered reckless, & you'd best reign it in.)
• Retaliation, "payback", & monkey-see-monkey-do rule flouting will not be tolerated.
• The in-game penalty system is switched to off to prevent ghosting, with the understanding that GTPlanet racers do not need the in-game penalty system to follow posted track rules.
• Shorting the track is strictly prohibited, must have 2 wheels on the tarmac (or rumble curbing) - this includes "going wide", off-roading in the grass or dirt, or using tarmac outside the parameters of the track, is forbidden.
• Excessive horn beeping is forbidden. Horns should be used in the manner they are intended only - for civil communication purposes. Using the horn to distract another driver, or to annoy them to give up position is considered "dirty" and absolutely prohibited.
• Cornering Rights must be respected. Consult the GTP OLR Rules for specifics on cornering rights. For example, you are expected to hold your line through a turn, and allow space for another car who had overlap before the turn in point. If you do not have overlap on an ahead car before the turn in point, you do not have the right to force into their line.
• ONE blocking maneuver per straight is the maximum allowed. NO weaving to block on straights.
• Prohibited Maneuvers include (but are not limited to): riding another car through a turn, using another car as a brake, shoving another car off track, dive bombing the inside of corners, nose clipping by diving abruptly in front of another car, rear clipping - with or without pit maneuver, cramming into a space that does not exist to force a pass, punting, inappropriate blocking, wild weaving, brake-checking, slamming, ramming, parking inside the track boundaries or near traffic during a race, driving backwards.
• Turn #1 Incidents: Harsher post-race penalties are imposed for violations occurring on Turn #1 of any race. Patience should be the top priority at Turn #1 of any race. In some cases, special Turn #1 race procedures will be implemented. Always review the "Race Procedures" section of an event description. (It should be noted and accepted as fact that "Turn 1 Drama" is a particular pet peeve of the race director, and Turn #1 of every race will be scrutinized in replays.)
• All rules & general track etiquette, is to be exercised during any Qualifying Period. "Informal Qualifying" means there will be no roll call, and no one should expect to have the track to themselves while others wait. However, drivers are expected to spread out. There should be no "pressuring" during qualifying as this is NOT racing. Leave a gap during your out-lap from the car ahead of you, so that you do not disrupt the ahead car's timed laps, and will not be accused of taking advantage of someone's slipstream draft. Courtesy should be exercised when you finish your timed laps, to allow others to finish theirs. Park well away from the racing line, preferably in a spot that is significantly apart from the racetrack boundaries.
• Bump drafting is widely accepted on ovals, and is sometimes used on straights. However, drivers should exercise caution and thoughtful judgement before employing this in technique in regular race tracks. Bear in mind that not all of your fellow racers may be of the same mind when bump drafting is appropriate, and some might find it distracting or unwelcome. It should never be done near a brake point. When in doubt, do without!
• Text chat during races is to be restrained so as not to distract drivers still racing.
• In case of any incident involving a crash or rule violation, please review the replay before drawing conclusions. Note the time and location of the incident. Try dialogue with the other driver first with Private Messaging. You may report the incident via Private Messaging, with details, in a timely manner (ie: soon after the race), if warranted, so an appointed steward &/or the race director may review the incident.
• Any overtly dirty driving should be reported immediately after the race. You should also always report any driving you see that appears to be deliberate rule violations or persistently disruptive, so the driver may be reminded & warned of the rules & post-race penalties, and for the preservation of enjoyment for all participants.

Race Director: watermelonpunch / wat3rm370n

Car Aquisition

These cars are PRIZE CARS:

Triumph Spitfire 1500 '74
Aspec Professional Series British Lightweight
Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale '63
Bspec Amateur Series Festival Italia

Meaning if you haven't won it yet, you can do the Aspec/Bspec events to get them... or if you've already modified your prize car irreversibly, you can win a brand new unmodified one by creating another PSN account and doing the aspec races, and gift them to yourself.

Spare Car Gifting Waiting List:

• .
  
  People with spares they can gift:
  watermelonpunch / wat3rm370n
  jackargent / jackargent
  MarkB75 / GTP_MarkB75

Please let us know if you have spares of any of the cars you're willing to gift to other interested drivers. 👍

All 5 cars will be ON SHARE on PSN: VCRC

Meaning if you want to use "Borrow Glitch" to get the cars, you may do so that way.
I have no idea how to do that, and you do it at whatever risk there is to messing something up or however much time it takes to complete that. (I never tried it so I can't say much about it.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bit of a chance I'm coming on Sat. (both Saturdays)

I will pencil you in for them. 👍

Lol not sure about this one. I don't have any of those cars..... I think?

Look at your garage & find out.
I have spares of them all. I don't know what's wrong with everyone else.
I have 7 extra Spitfires, 6 extra Alfa Speciales, 5 extra Cosmo 67s, 3 extra Fairlady 68s, and 9 extra Spider 66s!!
You should get in the habit of shopping the lovely & wonderful Online Dealership.

All these times are for good for me. I will come to all of them. I have the Cosmo and Alfa Spider, meaning I will need the Spitfire, Giulia Speciale and Fairlady 2000.

I'm making a waiting list in the 2nd post.
Cars that are PRIZE cars will be lower in the priority waiting list. Because you can essentially just make a new account and go win the prizes in aspec & send them to yourself. I'll update the OP with the prize car information.

I can make all the Wednesday events, but I will need a copy of every car.

I've put you down.
But check & see if you have the Spitfire or Alfa Speciale because your game progress is pretty high I've seen And those 2 are prize cars you've probably won at some point!

I guess I haven't checked. I used to have all of these cars but my game data got ruined last week and I hate admitting it but I had to cheat my way back to level 40. I only have about 130 cars now and I've been working hard on buying cars.

Oh! I hadn't noticed that! That's crappy! And it reminds me I need to do another save back up of my game data. mine is many weeks out of date. (I have this terrible habit of backing up my game save only when someone else mentions they lost their game save! )

Ok, I just checked my garage and I do have Spitfire and the Speciale. But instead of sending me the other cars, do you mind If you put them on share so I can 'borrow glitch' them? It only takes about 2-3 minutes per car.

Even better. 👍
Will put all 3 up later tonight & then you glitch away!
(I won't have access to the ps3 again until about 10pm tonight.)

EDIT: They're all up on share on PSN: VCRC 👍

Abso-bloody-lutely up for this.
Wednesdays for me.
spares of all cars available.
nice to get back to some good old cars again.

hee hee It's not like for months now I've been running nothing but events using DLC 2012 cars.

But yeah, these are some of my very favourite cars in the game.
I love the vintage sports cars.

I'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow after school. I forgot to look.

I really want to join Don't think I should though.. too much **** going on but at least I've got all the cars so I could be a late joiner if i change my mind.

Of course I will. Mark me down for Wednesdays, please. Hope I can make them all.

Actually, put me as a "maybe" for the April 20th event. I just realised I'm going out later that day for the birthday of a family member and racing at that time might be cutting it a little close for me.

Got my brake pedal fixed, I'd love to join the Saturday series. I'll check the garage for missing cars - I know I've got the Alfa Speciale and the Mazda, and I'm pretty sure I've got the Spit and possibly some others on another account I can transfer.

Maybe for the Wednesdays and definitely for the Saturdays.
I know I have all the cars, but I do not know if they are all untuned. I will double check that later.

Welcome Everybody!

Yes I very much hoped you could!

BIG BIG THANK YOU to snowgt for immense help in choosing cars & making the car assignment. Snowgt's testing of the cars was very crucial to even begin choosing cars & ordering them. 👍

As always, I can never make these events without the help of others. (You know who you all are. )

And thanks too to those (some who are not around anymore ) who had helped me organize the Vintage Mixer (& Luxury Mixer) last year, as that was informative to organizing this.👍
I think I have addressed all of the small shortfalls we found in that system.
This time:

• less cars to acquire & prepare
• accordion car assignment system, depending on amount of participants
• cars of fairly equal handling (same type of cars, same drivetrains)

I will be scheduling some testing sessions for anyone who wants to show up for that.

You won't need to have ALL the cars to help test either. I would just like to test various cars with at least 3-4 people on some of the tracks we're slated to race.

It will involve test racing on some of the custom tracks scheduled... so if you want some 'seat time' on those tracks, it will be beneficial as practice too. ^^

In particular I want to test more with these 2 cars:
Mazda Cosmo Sport (L10A) '67
Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto '66
As GTsail290's testing conflicts with my own and Snowgt's.

So I would like to have some "live testing" to better estimate these cars.

If anyone wants instead to test these 2 cars on any of the tracks scheduled, and submit your lap times to me (here or in PM), that would also be helpful.👍

My suspicion is that they are simply "too close to call" for SOME tracks.
And that the Cosmo might be a bit faster on LAP TIMES on SOME tracks... but it is also more vulnerable to mistakes and inconsistency. It's also less able to handle small bumps with other cars compared to the Spider.
But I really need the estimation of more drivers.
So in the end, one of these cars MAY be cut from the car assignments.

@ MarkB75 & aceboy127
Let me know when you've confirmed which cars you have ready & which you don't, and we'll make sure everybody gets the cars they need. 👍

@ doodlemonoply
I'm just going to leave all 5 cars up on share on VCRC so you can get them whenever over the next days, and so can anybody else that wants to do that.

Well of course I orchestrated this specifically to be a bad influence and lure the Swede away from work.

But really - of course you can pop in if you find you have the time.
See instructions under "Car Assignment List" in the OP.
I have made provisions for people to join partway through an event or partway through the series. They will have just a slight advantage in the race they start, and that's okay since they will start behind in points anyway.

@ AudiMan2011
I marked you down in pencil for 20th event.

Note: I made a mistake on the UTC time - it is 15:00 UTC (Saturdays) 19:00 UTC (Wednesdays)
(grrr daylight savings time makes the difference between my time only 4 hours and I went the wrong way when I did the math )
(all the other times listed were/are correct for time zone - only the UTC was incorrect )

I'm just missing the Nissan in the end, and I'll keep an eye out for the testing sessions if I'm available.

TESTING SESSION TOMORROW:

Friday 5 April
In VCRC Lounge (PSN: VCRC)
Between 18:30 UTC - 20:30 UTC
US PDT = between 11:30am - 1:30pm
US EDT = between 2:30pm - 4:30pm
BST = between 7:30pm - 9:30pm
CEST = between 8:30pm - 10:30pm

Drivers may show up in the lounge with however many of the cars you have. 👍

Again, if anyone has any spare cars they will be willing to gift, please let me know. Jackargent & I are booked up on car gifting for the next couple of days.

I am scheduling to send you the Fairlady '68 on Saturday. 👍
Make sure I'm still on your friends list! (PSN : wat3rm370n)

The Fairlady '68 seems to be the most uncommon, which many people don't have.
Probably because it's not a prize car, it's never been in the OCD, and it's usually high mileage when it shows up in the UCD. And that's a shame because it's a wonderful fun little car!!!

I've decided to pull my finger out and I've managed to acquire the Triumph and Alfa Giulia prize cars. All I need now is the Fairlady 2000.

CORRECTION:

I was referring to the pull my finger part... "out" doesn't change that really.

perhaps this is not a universal joke regarding poots?
