PRIZE A SELECTION
Ok gents, so I have done a lot of testing on it. I chose the combo for it's fantastic fun factor, it's break from the norm, it's mega technical driving challenge (requiring non-stop focus for 10 minutes!!) and for it's great overtaking possibilities due to numerous super late apex corners:
20 Laps - Kart 125 on Kart Space 1/ Reverse!
There is ONE CAVIAT to this that I ask the SNAIL community to support, else I recommend that we don't run this combo: We turn penalties OFF for this race.
Justification: The penalty system is broken on this track. You will get numerous penalties for "shortcutting" corners when, per OLR rules, you are not shortcutting them, not even close. You can barely have two outside wheels on the inside rumble strip, some times not even at all, and get a 5 sec penalty. I promise that it will RUIN the experience of racing here and turn what will be a fantastically fun racing experience in to a very sour, angry and bitter experience for guys that get penalties and say "WTF?!?! I didn't even cut the corner!!" ALSO- cutting the corners isn't even worth it! They are self-policing; if you take too much curb or cut completely your cart gets launched in the air and you plow in to the wall. There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for penalties here and will ONLY HURT THE RACING EXPERIENCE.
I am so adamant about this that I feel the need to state it, despite me more than likely not being able to race this Sunday to enjoy it!
Anyway, that's that. If not, I can think up another combo. I have some in mind, but meh you get the idea.
Let me know what you think and if not I will come up with a combo by tomorrow night that won't require turning penalties off.

You may not have seen it but a few posts up, it was stated that Spa and Kart Space weren't in the PS Store. I don't know for sure but you may have to rethink.
Kart Space has not.
However, that one is available here. This means that DLC tracks are now available for prize selection again!
As the Prize B winner, my decision is to take the Lexus IS F Racing Concept '08 to Tokyo R246 for 6 laps.
This car really forces you to have some throttle discipline and so do a few corners at this track. You may now being to practice then tell me how awful my choice was.

Hehehe. Way to be humble, Weaver. 👍
Thanks for making your Prize A and Prize B selections!
The December 2nd lineup has been posted!!
PLEASE NOTE THAT PENALTIES WILL BE TURNED OFF FOR ROUND 2
Does the Kart also need to be broken in?
💡
JobyoneIs the racing kart 125 a DLC?
Not sure - Please let me know if you find out.
I don't believe so - you can buy them in the NCD under the "Gran Turismo" dealer.

Thank you for the laugh weaver, you have no idea how much I needed it 👍
Hey nice to see you forcednduckshn, it's been a while since we raced together, like a year an a half with the RX-7 at trial mountain.
Back on topic, I totally approve, Kart Space penalties are broken. You're right a 100 % and that combo could be a lot of fun.
I really hope this isn't true, info here leads me to believe that the 125 is DLC. We may have to go with the 100.
Ah. Ok. Well, let me/us know. I got the 125 SPL somehow, forget where I got it though?
EDIT: Nevermind, it looks like it's DLC. Dang it!
So what do we do?
