Rules:
GTP OLR Rules
  • Please familiarize yourself with these rules prior to the event.
  • You are expected to race clean & fair, and to behave like sporting gentlemen at all times. Dirty driving is absolutely forbidden.
  • If you cause a contact, you must make contact concessions. ie: no bump-passing
  • Failure to make contact concessions will result in a post-race penalty concession. (ie: you will be placed below that racer in the results)
  • Bump drafting is widely accepted on ovals, and is sometimes used on straights. However, drivers should exercise caution and thoughtful judgement before employing this in technique in regular race tracks. Bear in mind that not all of your fellow racers may be of the same mind when bump drafting is appropriate, and some might find it distracting or unwelcome. It should never be done near a brake point. When in doubt, do without!
  • Caution must be exercised when re-entering the track after an off-road excursion caused by any reason.
  • Carless driving, recklessness, & aggressive risky maneuvers may result in post-race penalties, and will certainly result in your fellow racers being ill tempered.
  • Retaliation, "payback", & monkey-see-monkey-do rule flouting will not be tolerated.
  • The in-game penalty system is switched to off to prevent ghosting, with the understanding that GTPlanet racers do not need the in-game penalty system to follow posted track rules. Shorting the track is strictly prohibited, must have 2 wheels on the tarmac (or rumble curbing) - this includes "going wide", off-roading in the grass or dirt, or using tarmac outside the parameters of the track, is forbidden.
  • For a comprehensive look at what is generally considered good track etiquette, check out "The Good Racecraft Guide", for a more detailed explanation of guidelines GTPlanet members have in mind when we say "clean racing".
  • In case of any incident involving a crash or rule violation, please review the replay before drawing conclusions. Note the time and location of the incident. Try dialogue with the other driver first with Private Messaging. You may report the incident via Private Messaging, with details, in a timely manner (ie: soon after the race), if warranted, so an appointed steward &/or the race director may review the incident.
Race Director: watermelonpunch / wat3rm370n
Race Steward: Phouchg / xNikodemusx
Race Steward: YOU! (we all should be stewards of good racing & rule adherence!)


Race will be hosted in the VCRC Lounge,
add PSN: VCRC

Note: This 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, as nobody checks messages there often, if at all.


Be sure to check out our Vintage Car Race Club (GTPlanet forum social group)
to suggest event ideas and see what's being planned. 👍

Well I'm not scheduled to work at the moment, so yes. :D
 
I should be able to make it again. :P

Phouchg / xNikodemusx / probably some kind of yellow..
 
I shall come along once again. I will need the car though as I don't have it.

pop me down for this please

I will let you know my colour scheme shortly

I have shared Targa Florio part 2 on my account if anyone needs it

AudiMan, add me as a friend & I will send you a car
 
I have decided to return to my classic colour scheme:

Raspberry red pearl/Lime green metallic
 
TyrrellRacing/TyrrellRacing/Some sort of blue, probably erring toward the darker side

Will check if I have the car some time soon, although I'm fairly sure I do.
 
@ tezgm99
I'm about to do the Fiat 500 series race today, hopefully I will remember to look for the car & send it afterwards. 👍
edit: If someone hasn't sent one first


UPDATE: @ Tez - I SENT YOU THE CAR. 👍

:D Great!

Now, if someone does some testing, I'd like to hear some ballpark lap times from people!
(So I can get a better idea how to set the laps for time restraints.)
👍

And thank you jackargent for sharing the track.

You can get both tracks now...

Just a funny thing... turbogeit was calling Hellhole Raceway "Hellhouse Racetrack"... and now I'm planning to make a track & name it that way. But I think a track has to have some diabolical aspect in order to earn that name. :lol:
 
Welcome!
Basic black for the classy looking car.

I did some practice today with Audi, before getting waylaid that is...
Hellhole Raceway is DIABOLICAL. (But fun.)
The hook turns (all 3 really but the middle left-hander is the worst) can steal away great swathes of lap time with a too-wide line!!

I think the best time in the practice room was 2:11.7 - and I'm pretty sure that was Audi, because the last I remembered was getting 2:14 I believe.

I went even faster in that test room and actually did a 2:11.429 as my best lap.

I stand corrected... must've happened after I got waylaid I assume.

Now, can I have your entire stock of Deep Pink Metallic paint chips? :lol: ^^ :D
/end off-topic tangent :guilty:
 
Had a go at the track, you will really need to practise at the hellhole.. after three laps i got 2:15.6

Sure, you can have them. I have no good use for my pink chips anyway.
 
With a little practise I did drive round the hellhole in 2:11.7.. should have done 2:11 dead though, just kept messing up the last sector. :P
 
Got a different colour to try for this car; Bordeaux Pontevecchio which is a dark red/maroon from the looks of it.
 
welcome nictune!

Who put down a 43 @ Suzuka today...

I couldn't break 49 with 4-5 laps!!! But miata_1 jumped on and was able to do a 46 on the first lap(timed)! *sigh*

I really stink at Suzuka. :scared:
