In honor of the 2011 FIA World Cup,
we are proud to present the first seasonal
GTPFIA World GT Championship!
We will be running 2 divisions GT1 and GT2. All the cars available in this series have been homologated by the GTPFIA and have undergone a fair amount of testing to ensure that they remain competitive. Should there be a pattern of dominance from any car(s), adjustments to the regulations may be required as the season progresses.
Please refer to the last section of this Post#2 for updates, notices, news and other information as the season progresses.
On Track Conduct
All GTPlanet online racing rules and guidelines apply.
GTPlanet OLR Rules
Any on track incident must be reported within 24 hours of the race official starting time for evaluation by one of the Race Stewards and will only be conducted via personal message. If an infraction is found to be committed, penaltie(s) in accordance with the severity of the incident will be applied.
These penalties can range from time penalties to disqualification from a race or the entire Championship.
Proper racing etiquette for multy class racing
Lapped Traffic
With mixed class racing, lapped trafic becomes a concern. When this situation arises, the lapped traffic will hold its line and the lapping car will find a way arround the lapped traffic. Failure to follow this procedure can result in a penalty according to the severity of the situation. (Be courteous, let the faster cars through!)
Drivers' Responsibilities
