Car regulations may change, but we'll post in this thread if anything does.
Qualifying:
- You can qualify with any car you like, but once you qualify, you MUST race with that car.
- You can qualify at any time until 2 hours before the race begins.
- Qualifying ends in
- Notify any of the race officials on PSN or on here that you want to qualify.
- The qualifying room must have the same settings as listed under "Room Regulations"
- The race official will check room settings and car settings.
- You will do a 1 lap "grid start" race to qualify and only 1 person is allowed on the track for each qualifying session.
- You can only qualify once.
Pre-Race Car Checks:
- Before the race can begin, I must check that everyone's car is the right horsepower and weight.
- Please do not access your garage or tune menu when your car passes.
- Anyone accessing the garage or tune menu will be penalized at the race officials' discretion.
Rolling Starts:
- After car checks, I will type out the grid order. Please remember the order you need to be in!
- People that did not qualify will start in the back.
- I will then hit "Start Race".
- Once the race countdown timer reaches the end, everyone will slowly form up into the order that I typed out.
- When everyone is in order, I will tell pole position to begin a pace not exceeding 60 mph / 95 kph.
- Pole position will then break pace abruptly (floor it!) to signal the start of the race.
- This is NOT a pace lap! Please start the race as soon as you can (after two or three corners).
Caution Policy etc:
- There are no cautions, race restarts, drive-through penalties etc.
- Just because it is light damage does not give one a license to drive into people. Be respectful.
- Do not start spamming the chat window if an incident occurs. Save the replay and report it to a race official.
Prizes:
- There are no prizes as of this posting.
Other Notes: The GTPlanet Online Racing Rules & Guidelines applies with some changes/additions.
- If you decide to allow the other driver(s) to pass because of a collision, be absolutely sure that you will not be in the way of other drivers.
- There will be no race restarts for people that disconnect, unless something extreme happens like half the room disconnects at the same time. Common sense will dictate what's appropriate.
- Anyone found violating the car regulations will be harshly penalized. "I didn't know" is not a valid reason.
- Track boundaries are generally the same as those enforced by the GT5 penalty system and as defined by section 16: Offline Racing in the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules & Guidelines linked above. In short, always try to keep a set of tires along the rumble strips/white lines of the track.
How to Sign-Up: Just post your GTPlanet username, Playstation Network username and car you'd like to use. You can change cars at any time until you qualify.
Current GTPlanet Participants:
"#" indicates the person is a race official and can qualify other people. Whatever is in "[]" is the driver's PSN name.
