Aaaaaannnd we're back again. TGC3 is working out the same as the previous two in structure and form, but it would be nice to have a new discussion thread since the last was crowded with two series' worth of jumbled info. 
So here's the release of info:
The cars oil must be changed prior to tuning.
Cars with factory-adjustable downforce may not be used. (E.g.: Merc-Benz 190E)
FAQ #2.: All of the cars will have WPR's of 4.6 or higher, run on N2's and must be able to be bought (No Concept Cars), right? Or do you have to get permission to use certain cars (Like, say, the Pontiac Solsitce Coupe Concept or the Acura HSC)?
Answer: Correct. Certain cars, such as the Viper GTSR and the Suzuki GSXR4 have a serious performance advantage over normal vehicles. The Suzuki is the LM-Car Killer; the Viper with superior downforce values. Also, the Opera S2000 is not ellegible for its inhuman grip, as the R390 GT1 and the NSX LM Road Car for their amazing downforce.
However: If there's a concept car you really want to try out for competition, and it (as in this comp) exists in your or your proprietor's garage, you can ask and I will weigh if there's a specific vehicular advantage. I see personally no issues with the aforementioned Solstice or the Acura.
FAQ #3.: To top it off there will a seperate "Privateer Class" for people who aren't affiliated with a Tuning Garage and want to compete with cars of they're own creation, correct?
Answer: Not correct. You can pick a garage to run with as last time, just your points will be allocated differently.
So here we go again.
So here's the release of info:
WHAT IS IT?
This racing series deals with top tuning garages of GTPlanet and their competition against each other. It is to be run as a six race series.
This racing series deals with top tuning garages of GTPlanet and their competition against each other. It is to be run as a six race series.
WHAT ARE THE CAR SPECIFICATIONS?
All cars fall into the power to weight ratio of 4.6 killograms per horsepower. That means, if a garage is nuts enough to enter a 500 horsepower car, it will have to weigh 2300 killos. Alternately, a car that weighs 700 killo's can only generate a maximum 152 horsepower. All cars will be run on N2 ("Comfort") tires. Spoilers and nitrous are NOT allowed.

EXPLAIN MORE RULES
It works as thus: Each tuning garage supplies two vehicles that are to be shown within this post. The car has to be pre-existing within their garage prior to this competition starting (Monday March 29th).

Pre-existing cars may be tweaked from their counterparts in horsepower and weight only but! Suspension/ Transmission settings are to be left alone, as this is the search for the best All Around vehicle. Also, if the car was pre-developed with a spoiler, you will have to remove it.
(Example: M.F.T. has their Grim R34per as most of us know. It could presumably be used, but the weight/power must be changed to adapt to this competition as well as the spoiler must be stripped, whereas the suspension of transmission must remain as first developed.)

Cars developed for this competition must be hosted in the garage to be elligible.

Race Cars, The Opera S2000, Amuse S2000 GT1, the R390 GT1 Road Car, Honda NSX LM Road Car, The Viper GTSR Concept, Cadillac Cien, and the Suzuki GSXR4 are not elligible for competition. I'm looking for built, not bought.
Track Listing will Not be revealed until the starting day of that race week.
Privateers may not enter their own car. You must be associated with a garage or the creater of a garage.
Privateers may not be allowed cross reference between garages. However, either of the two garage rides are at your disposal. You may use either one to get your best time.
There now are three systems for points. Points are awarded for: the top Garage Owner/Proprietor's placement, Privateers, and individuals.
Example for Privateer/Garage Owner Points
1st: Smallhorses-------(Privateer)-----20 pts
2nd: Austin343--------(Privateer)-----18 pts
3rd: Greycap----------(Owner MFT)---20 pts
4th: Jetboy-----------(Owner JHoS)---18 pts
5th: KingofWeasels----(Privateer)------16 pts
6th: TheStig13--------(Privateer)------14 pts
7th: sejtur------------(Privateer)------12 pts
8th: Leonidae---------(Owner MFT)-----0 pts
9th: shoman----------(Owner SPM)----16 pts
Individual Points
1st: Smallhorses-------20 pts
2nd: Austin343--------18 pts
3rd: Greycap----------16 pts
4th: Jetboy-----------14 pts
5th: KingofWeasels----12 pts
6th: TheStig13--------10 pts
7th: sejtur-------------8 pts
8th: Leonidae----------6 pts
9th: shoman-----------4 pts
1st: Smallhorses-------(Privateer)-----20 pts
2nd: Austin343--------(Privateer)-----18 pts
3rd: Greycap----------(Owner MFT)---20 pts

7th: sejtur------------(Privateer)------12 pts
8th: Leonidae---------(Owner MFT)-----0 pts
9th: shoman----------(Owner SPM)----16 pts
Individual Points
1st: Smallhorses-------20 pts

5th: KingofWeasels----12 pts
6th: TheStig13--------10 pts
7th: sejtur-------------8 pts
8th: Leonidae----------6 pts
9th: shoman-----------4 pts
Notice the difference from the last series. Instead of a garage having a "hired gun" to make them look well, this system shows the abilities of the garage's owner/tuner. In the Garage Owner Standings, notice Leo as the second Owner get no points because MFT's other owner finished ahead of him.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ #1.: If a garage doesn't want to participate can the member(s) of said garage drive for another?
Answer: I have no issue with this. I ask, however, that the participants stick to one garage as they do this.

I really don't envision that interest would suddenly appear from out of thin air near the start of the competition. It's too bad, but I think that many people either are bored of TGCs or have been scared away by the N2 tires.
