Alright ladies and gentleman, as promised... Here is my GTPlanet forum post. I've been hosting and doing competitions for a while now and have been told numerous times to post on the forums and make my competitions wider known. Hopefully this will help spread the word and generate more interest for future competitions I will be hosting.
But first, a little about myself. I'm a long time friend of a few of the D-Spec guys, specifically RockstR as he was one of the first drifters I met online and became friends with. Throughout my GT5 Drifting days I've made somewhat of a "business" you might say out of tuning people's cars for them. I offer to tune someone's car for Grip, Drift, or Time-Attack... They send me the car, I tune it and send it back... All I ask for in return is that they send me a second car to keep. I never put an actual "price" per say... But if they felt like I did a great job and it was worth a nice car, so be it... If they sent me a poopy-car? (FF? I keed I keed) Then Hey, I got another car. I've gotten a pretty decent garage because of it... Mostly because I dupe the car I tune for them, and I get an extra car out of it usually. But enough about me for now.
I run my competitions in a D1GP "Touge" style, where I pick a section of track usually 3-5 turns in length to Drift across. Drifters do a solo qualification run in a "Down and Back" style for a total of 20 Points. (Subject to change before the next Competition) Which basically boils down to two chances to get a 20. The 1st run (Down) is scored on a possible 20 points, and the return trip (Back) is another chance if you didn't get a 20 the first time. At this point Drifters are paired with each other based on a High Scorer and Lower Scorer with the Lower Scorer starting in the front to set the pace that the Higher Scorer has to match. The Tandems are no longer a points system, but an "Advantage" system. If a Drifter runs a better line (Cleaner for instance) than the other, he'll receive the "Advantage" on the return trip. On the return trip the Leading car becomes the Trailing Car for his chance to get the "Advantage". In the event both drifters end up with a "+1" we do a Sudden Death / "One More Time." At this time they swap places again for the Higher Scorer to now lead on the "Down" trip. Spins count as an automatic loss, Stall's will give the other drifter the "Advantage," and contact is to be avoided at all times although Judges will be the final determination whether some instances of contact are illegal. Rubbing is racing after all and we encourage close Tandems, but if you hit the guy hard enough to disrupt his line and/or drift -- You're out. If you manage to pass without making contact at all, its an automatic win.
Also, as a side note... As a prize for all of my Battle-Tuned D1GP Competitions I put up a "Battle-Tuned" car as the prize... Tonight's prize was a Battle-Tuned Aston Martin DB9. Previous cars have been an Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, a Chevrolet Corvette (C2), a Fairlady Z (Z34), etc.
Also, 99% of my competitions are streamed live on Justin.TV courtesy of UKO_Driftninja. His page is at this link http://www.justin.tv/uko_driftninja? and tonight's entire competition was recorded and posted for viewing pleasure, here -- http://www.justin.tv/uko_driftninja/b/286404997, again... Courtesy of UKO_DriftNinja. Part 1 is Qualifying and the start of the Competition, and Part 2 is the finish. Please feel free to watch and get an idea on how I run my competitions and to spectate from UKO_DriftNinja's Livestream page if my Competitions are full. If we can garner enough attention and interest in my competitions I fully intend to start doing these competitions more often and even do a Championship Tournament with qualifying and lower brackets during the week with the Quarter, Semi, and Finals of .... for instance the Top 8 Drifters of the week.
And now... On to tonight's event! EDIT: 5/25 D1GP
