i know some of you have expressed interest in becoming a driver and joining a team for some of the endurance race series events on GTP.

for the shorter races, AJ has opened up a LOT of room for teams/drivers if you are interested. Just letting you know in case you didn't see it.

FYI: I am not involved in this other than as a driver for GHH and Turtle disbanded our team at the end of last year. This is just an information post for those who have expressed interest.

This sounds very interesting. Can you link for full info?

We have a new series, the TURTLE RACING LEAGUE - RUSH RACING SERIES. The series will be used for special events including championships. What are special events? Well, if you have an idea and it meets the requirement of being brilliant in it's simplicity, perhaps it will become a special event. An example would be Dolph Dragos "VGT" Challenge and of course Race 1 of the series which is the Schmiggz "GT3" Challenge.

I don't think I'd exactly call my idea "brilliant." Simplistic, yes. Brilliant? I wouldn't go that far. Thanks for the compliment though. :lol:

Anyway, this sounds interesting. I'm going to have to take a look at the thread.

You're a genius mate!
 
Alright. I have had a chance to test out the Mini VGT tonight. Personally, it didn't run as fast times as most of the other VGT's. For that reason, I do not believe it will put anyone at a disadvantage should they not be able to obtain the car by tomorrow evening.

Therefore, I say that if you want to run the Mini for one race tomorrow, then go for it. It's eligible. @Psycho Turtle, if you care to (not that I think it will matter), please feel free to add the car to the list of choices. Thanks. :)

I'll run the mini..... haters gonna hate...

Wait, how much slower is it around the horn?
Click to expand...
Well in my testing, the Infiniti was a couple seconds off the next slowest car. The Mini appears to be right there with it. I think those cars could challenge each other. The Mini actually handles great and brakes extremely well. It's just sluggish up the hill after turn 1.

Ok, I added it. Yay!
 
That mini has an awesome engine/exhaust noise. Is this the first car of a new era of decent race car engine sound in granturismo? I hope so. I'm sick and tired of vacuum cleaner type of engine sound.

You know you can set the mic position to the exterior of the car in options to remedy that vacuum sound on other cars.

DRIVERS MEETING​

The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports

"It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free."

Rules

You are expected to follow The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.

"Rubbin"

This is a non-contact sport. Let me put it another way, if you are "rubbin", you ain't racing in this league. We will not tolerate individual drivers taking the fun out of racing for everyone.

First Turn

You are not going to win the race on the 1st turn of the 1st lap. Therefore, it is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1. Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. You must hold your position through the 1st turn and make no attempt to advance it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. Other drivers may draft past you before the approach (braking zone) to turn 1 if it can be done incident free. In other words, if you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn you may.

This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to take advantage of other drivers doing their part to keep turn 1 incident free. Once again, you may not attempt to pass once in the braking zone of the 1st turn of the 1st lap. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.

Dive Bombing

Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in accidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry, so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass him on the low side.

Procedures

Until everyone has accepted the TURTLE RACING LEAGUE "Community" invitation and we have more experience with the "Community" function we will run the races in an open lobby. Go to "Open Lobby" and check the "Friends Rooms Only" box and look for TURTLE RACING LEAGUE - FLEX RACING SERIES and enter. Races will begin at 10pm Eastern time.

Connection Issues

Please follow the procedures below to help minimize connection issues.
Step 1: Reboot your modem/router
Step 2: Reboot your PS3
Step 3: Clear your GT6 in game System Cache

Pit Stops

Drivers need to be very careful entering the race track when exiting the pit. Please look at your map to see if other drivers are near the pit exit. Drivers exiting the pit need to stay in the pit exit lane until the track is clear of cars on the track. Cars on the track have the right of way.

Quitting

Drivers are expected to finish races no matter what position they are in. Rage quitting is frowned upon! :grumpy:

Microphones

Although you are welcome to use microphones during the race, they should only be used to communicate your proximity to other drivers in order to avoid an incident. Otherwise, either mute them or make sure any background noise in non-existent.

Reminders

1: Hold your position and do not attempt advance in turn 1 of lap 1
2: If you go off track make sure the track is clear before you re-enter
3: If you cause an accident you must wait and give the position back
4: Watch for cars on the track coming out of the pit, stay to the inside
5: Keep Microphones muted during race unless advising your proximity
6: Drivers being lapped must let lapping drivers by without contesting

Race Incidents

Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.

Final Note

Race Clean and Have Fun!
