Rules:
  1. GTP OLR Rules Please familiarize yourself with these rules prior to the event.
  2. There is 1 mandatory pit stop, to be taken at driver's choice.
  3. Pitting should also be done in the case of severe damage that's causing the car to be a nuisance on the track. ie: damage is not an excuse for reckless driving, wild weaving, nor neglecting track etiquette.
  4. If you cause a contact, you must make contact concessions.
  5. If your fault in a contact incident causes another car accident damage, you must follow into the pit with them.
  6. Failure to make contact concessions or failure to concession pit, will result in a post-race penalty concession. (ie: you will be placed below that racer in the results)
  7. Retaliation, "payback", & monkey-see-monkey-do rule flouting will not be tolerated.
  8. Rule violations or race incidents should be reported to the stewards via Private Messaging.
Stewards:
cc570 / cc570
jackargent / jackargent
watermelonpunch / wat3rm370n


Race will be hosted in the VCRC Lounge, add PSN: VCRC
Note: The VCRC account is just the club lounge account. It will rarely be signed on.
Get the FR in a.s.a.p. to assure acceptance in advance of racing.
In order to check the league lounge, you must click on the coffee cup,
and wait for the room content list to present.
No yellow people icon will show, even when the room is full.

Also please note that all club communication should be done through GTPlanet,
and not directed toward the PSN acct VCRC, as nobody checks messages there often, if at all.

i think i can make this one. just waiting on the_saint8 to confirm if he is available then we will team up 👍
 
Forgot about this, put me down.

Will most likely go with the Abarth, wish we had an Abarth 500 in the game. :indiff:
 
I think I can make this. I have the Civic already, but I'd prefer the Abarth so I'll try to get that instead. I'll let you know when it gets closer.

Ditto, we have 3 or 4 old Fiat 500s but no Abarth, oh well.

My PSN is Ryoku 75.

I'll join whichever team needs an extra spot, for now I'll go get some practice in the Civic and see how it is.
I remember the '83 being surprisingly fun stock.

Zorrin and I would like to sign up as Team Canada, Red cars with white wheels of course!!!
 
I'll be on team canada

You'll have to be on Team Canada 2, just like in the Bobsled...lol. Team Canada 1 is full but if there's an injury or unexpected withdrawl....:sly:
 
But here's an experimental paint scheme:idea:

The suspension's so soft it lifts the inside front! It's like a dog cocking its er front leg to er pee?
 
Ryoku75, no spaces or underscores. Sorry about that.

I'd rather take the Civic, but I'll drive whichever car isn't being used on a team.
 
Official colours are in: GT Polarised #4 (Red) with White wheels.

As it stands it should be a case of JP driving the almighty 80+ HP Civic, and I'll be trundling along in the 70+ HP gravity defying Autobianchi.

:D Yay, I get the "fast" one...:lol: Thanks man!!:bowdown:
 
In my testing, red is good for at least 7/10ths per lap:sly:
 
I was born in '79, so I'm definitely in. Gotta find a partner.
