GTMSA Presents
GTPLMS Season 5

Information & Signup



Welcome one and all to the 5th season of GTPLMS, GTMSA's fastest and longest race series! This season there are 3 classes to choose from, LMP prototypes, GT1 and GTS. With all the cars in all the classes capable of over 200mph the racing will be fast and furious!

I would like to take this oppertunity to thank oldmodelt for his invaluable help during testing for this series 👍


General Information and Regulations

As with last season there will be two types of race event during the season. There will be 5 Standard rounds of 135km and 2 Enduro rounds of 250km.

Week starts on Monday, with times to be sent via PM by 11.59pm GMT on Sunday


There is NO HP penalty for joining the series part way through the season.


All rules, regulations, car specifications, and races are controlled by GTPLMS sanctioning body, GTMSA. Any and all questions should be directed to GTMSA officials (namely me ABud or oldmodelt) and officials will do their best to answer in a timely and accurate manor.

All drivers must run at the specified weights and horsepower settings provided by GTMSA for each round. Horsepower and/or weight settings are adjusted for competitive reasons each round based on finishing positions from previous rounds.

  • Standard Online Racing Rules Apply.
  • No Cheating, hybrids, etc. You must run the car specifications I give you
  • Try keeping at least 2 wheels on course. Long races = small mishaps, but absolutely NO shortcuts
  • No wall-riding as well. Combined with penalties, this will slow you down considerably, so don't do it.
  • All decisions by GTMSA officials are final
  • The race track for this season will be defined as the area between the white or yellow lines. This means rumble strips do not count as track.

My LMP and GT1 entries will just be on an as I have time basis. GTS is my main target this season. I know I won't be competitive, but at least it's something to do.

Here's to hoping I'll have time to do this!

oh, and nice trailer.
 
Good job as always ABud! This should be a ton of fun!

Hi Racecar, affraid the Toyota GT-ONE has been bumped up to an LMP entry so could you pick a different car for GT1?

Cheers.

Great trailer ABud!

I would like to dip my toe into the shallow end of the LMS pool and drive a car in the GTS class.

However, I haven't test driven any of the cars yet, so here are my T-cars:

Time permitting, I might drive in the GT1 class, but I'm not sure at the moment.

Thanks,
GTsail

Just out of curiosity, and for the sake of clarity, can I enter one car in each class for the entire season? Or will I have to pick one car for the regular season?

If I am correct. You may enter one in each class. And then drive those cars for the entire series. Once the series starts you may not change your choice(s). You are not obligated to drive in all the races.
 
alright, thanks. Also, I suspect you guy will put up the lap numbers when it's time for the rounds. I know a few racing games that will allow you to choose laps or length or time, but GT4 isn't one of them.

actually, you can change the number of laps in GT4 by going into the options menu, then into "arcade". there you can change the number of laps, among other settings that need to be chosen in this series.

Edit: just realized I read his post wrong.
 
you know, if this were really in line with current ALMS/LMS classes, it should be LMP1, LMP2 and GT, But I'm just nitpicking. :P
 
I've done some testing in my four T-cars in the GTS class and narrowed down my selection to either the Dodge Viper GTS-R Race Car or the Pagani Zonda LM Race Car.

Respectfully,

Bah! I tried to make the classifications like they were when the cars raced at Le Mans - the GT1s are so different to LMP2s.

If any of you people are interested i've planned this so that our trip around La Sarthe coincides with this years 24hrs of Le Mans :)
 
Yeah, but in the ALMS, the Corvette team was running by themselves in the GT1 for like two years (with Aston Martin being the only one willing to put up with them) but last year, Corvette decided to drop out of GT1 and start a GT2 team. So this year, there wasn't any GT1 class, so GT2 became simply GT. However, I believe, when they get to 24Hours of Le Mans, there will be a GT1 class, but none of the ALMS teams will be in it. (I think it'll be mostly Audi, Lamborghini and a couple other teams from the other Le Mans series)

I tuned this car for 1/4 mile to run fast in a straith line.
Now the car must tune me to think I'm fast. :lol:
