At this current time, the TCC is no longer active due to diminishing interest over time. If someone would like to continue this competition contact me, as I'm more than willing to transfer over any and all needed information, as well as mailing lists, email account, etc and so forth.
Outline:
On the 1st of the month, The chosen Car, Weight, HP & Tires shall be posted publicly. (Decided by vote)
By Midnight PST on the 15th, all tunes for the car need to be submitted. (11:59pm PST on the 14th)
By Midnight PST on the 16th, all tunes are distributed to the test drivers via e-mail in an unidentifiable manner. (11:59pm PST on the 15th)
By Midnight PST on the 29th, all driver lap times must be submitted via e-mail to gtplanet.tgb@gmail.com. (11:59pm PST on the 28th)
By Midnight PST on the 24th, a new poll will begin for the following month's: Car, Weight, HP, Tires & Tracks, will be created. (11:59pm PST on the 23rd)
By Midnight PST on the last day of the month all results will be posted publicly for viewing. (11:59pm PST on the 28th, 30th or 31st)
At which point the process will repeat itself on the 1st of the following month.
Rules:
Entries: Both Drivers and Tuners are requested to join by sending me an email with the name you'd like used to represent your Tuning Garage, Team or Individual Self. Drivers will be entered as their GTPlanet ID. Entries will be accepted throughout the process of this battle, for both drivers and tuners.
**The new Performance Point system may be used in the future, but due to it's unproven track record we will remain using the required weight & Horsepower system to prevent any issues for the current time.
Horse Power: Two power options will be up for vote, Moderate or Max.
Max horsepower will include all available upgrade options.
Moderate power will vary from car to car.
Car: Once a car is decided upon for a month, it shall be the only car allowable. This excludes any variations of the same car. The exact same make, model, year, edition etc. must be used throughout all tunes. A poll may offer two(2) options for each car listed, one of moderate HP, one of Maximum HP. Combined votes will decide the car, as well as the HP. No single vote goes uncounted.
Weight: Weight will be a required amount, as drivers are unable to install/remove weight reductions. Most cars will receive maximum weight reduction allowable, but in some cases a limit will be set for online class restrictions. E.G. 1000 or 1200kg
Tires: Tires will be a set standard. Sport Soft for all street cars, Racing Soft for any race cars.
Assists: Driving aids will be restricted to ABS @ 1 and driving line optional.
Tracks: Track will be decided at random and remain concealed until all tunes have been submitted. This is to avoid tuners making a track specific tune, requiring them to take many aspects into account, helping provide the community with quality tunes that are successful at many tracks and conditions.
Timing System: All laps run, must be ran in an online 'Lounge'.
Tire and fuel wear: Off
Grip reduction: Real
Each driver will have a full 15 laps with each car. This includes 5 laps to familiarize yourself with the car and the following 10 laps to post your best time. If your best time happens to come from within your first 5 laps, it will still be accepted. Your three(3) best laps from each tune shall be submitted. All drivers times will then be averaged together to create each tunes official 'lap time average' to be be used for ranking.
*Laps are subject to change based on the track chosen.
*Since the transition to 'online' testing the 'red laps' are no longer able to be used to disqualify a lap time. Due to this, we must rely on drivers to fair and honest. Please do not take advantage of this new feature, as we're trying to supply the online needs of people as A-Spec slowly fades from the main focus of GT5.
Point System: Based on the ranking of your average lap times, you will be rewarded points as follows:
1st: 30
2nd: 26
3rd: 23
4th: 20
5th: 17
6th: 15
7th: 13
8th -18th will continue to drop at 1 point per position
20th and beyond will be rewarded 0 points.
Note to Tuners:
Please take into account that we are attempting to reach a broad spectrum of both drivers and readers. I'd like to ask that you use multiple measuring systems to explain your settings. In specific, this is referencing Kilometers an hour vs Miles per hour, as well as HP or PS or KW ratings. As to avoid confusion for drivers, it's in your best interest to be as specific and thorough as you can be, ensure that you've written + & - correctly.
Note to Drivers:
Please take into account that these tunes will greatly vary from one to the next. Take all precautions when ensuring that you have applied all of the settings correctly. Pay close attention to -/+ signs. On the subject of cars, you must also understand that by volunteering as a driver you fully understand that you will be responsible for purchasing each car and the parts equipped on it, at your own cost. Over time, this may become a substantial amount of in game money, please be aware of this fact. More than money, this will be far more taxing on your time. Take this into consideration, but rest assured you may withdraw from the competition at anytime.
I wish you all the best of luck!
** Rules are subject to change. Any issue that may arise will be decided upon as I see fit to moral justification.
