Sorry I had to retire. Think I was shunted up the rear into turn 1 first lap giving me full damage so I immediately went a lap down. The car was a beast I needed far more practice driving it, not used to doing endurances races so my feet were starting to hurt lol
and I was making more and more mistakes.
Great series though, thank-you for even allowing me to participate at such short notice. Hopefully I can make the next round with a lot more practice under my belt:tup:

Sorry but I'm going have to leave this championship as a. Mum doesn't agree me doing a enduro b. I ruined 4 peoples races in 20 minutes and c. I really don't enjoy driving these things.

Sorry to see this but we understand that real world commitments take priority.
For all other drivers, can I get PM's of your incident reports, even if it just reads 'clean race'. Thanks

Championship Standings
Stewards Report: Daytona
Lap 1 (Pace Lap) - duke_adam46 - Not keeping up with the pack *1
Lap 1 (Pace Lap) - memto89 - Not keeping up with the pack *1
Lap 2 - oalithgow - memto89 - Avoidable Contact
Verdict - +60 - Despite the fact that the damage sustained by each car is only quite light, we have warned you about first lap incidences before and you were significantly later on the brakes then the cars around you.
Lap 2 - Sig1611, duke_adam46, boy-wonder_2000 - davidb_165 - Racing Incident
Verdict - NFA - While the damaged caused by this incident was substantial, there was no way that Adam, or the cars that followed could have reacted differently.
Lap 2 - ZovomirVanBasten - boy-wonder_2000 - Avoidable Contact - Driving Standards 1/3
Verdict - +60 - I appreciate that you wanted to recover quickly, however you cause significant damage to a car that had successfully managed to avoid the incidences of T1. To all drivers, if you sustain damage you must make sure you are driving at a speed that allows you to maintain control of your vehicle.
Lap 2 - boy-wonder_2000 - Sig1611 - Avoidable Contact
Verdict - +60
Lap 3 - boy-wonder_2000 - memto89 - Avoidable Contact - Driving Standards 1/3
Verdict - +60 - This is fairly inexcusable, made more so by the fact that you keep your vehicle under control for the cars before memto89's.
Lap 5 - memto89 - Pit Exit Line
Verdict - +10
Lap 5 - boy-wonder_2000 - Blue Flags
Verdict - +60
Lap 10 - chozza_32 - Pit Exit Line
Verdict - +10
Lap 10 - boy-wonder_2000 - Driving Standards 2/3
Verdict - Warning - Given that you have already caused a significant accident on this exact same piece of track trying to drive too fast with damage; the fact that you then have a second spin which indirectly causes another car to sustain serious damage is unacceptable.
Lap 31 - memto89 - ZovomirVanBarsten - Avoidable Contact
Verdict - +60
*1 - Due to several incidents that could have occured on multiple occasions in the past, we are making a revision to the pace lap procedure. If for any reason during the pace lap a driver is unable to remain in formation, they are to pull off to the side of the circuit and when they are able to continue they are to rejoin in the position that they have fallen to. Do not use the pause menu. If anyone is caught doing this, stewards will call you out and you will be forced to start from the back of the grid.
*2 - There were a lot of cases of cars either being driven too hard with damage, or drivers trying so hard to stay off to the side of the track that it meant they were unable to control their vehicles. You only need to leave a car's width of space to let people passed so if you need the extra space use it.
*3 - As a Final point of driving standards, when letting cars lap you, the place to lift off is significantly before the braking zone, not on the apex or exit of a corner, not running the corner deep to leave space on the apex. If you're going to do anything that isn't simply following the racing line until the next straight, then just stay to one side of the track and only use half throttle. Rant over.

One last thing is that while this is not a full championship, it's not an unfair expectation to assume that if you put your name down for a race that you're actually going to show up. I understand that some of you will change your minds but at least have the decency to tell us you won't be attending.

Good news! I am please to announce a slight re-branding of the organising body of this series, in order to avoid confusion with the FIA WEC and for series, such as this, that don't use similar vehicles or rules, but are run to the same high standards as you've come to expect from us.
So without further ado, welcome all to CORE
Wherever you see this name or logo you can expect to find some of the best racing on GT

Awesome logo!
I found that race to be absolutely thrilling! It took so much effort to get back into the zone after taking it so easy during the middle of the race! Well done everyone who raced, it was a great and fairly clean race from everyone!
Its a shame some of the usual suspects had bad races (Chorzza/Ninners) as I was seriously worried about both of you from your practice times.
Also looking back at the replay, at the start of the race the Mazda had worse tyre wear than the Nissan but by the end it was better... Surreal

Ah, my pedals were jumping mid-corner pitching me sideways sometimes, this meant that I was very slow on power trying to make sure I didn't face the wrong way, Le Mans I should be good since I know what I'm going to run there, I suck through the chicane at Daytona, you guys carry 10mph more and I can't do nothing about it, it was the same in the WEC earlier this year.

I am so looking forward to the Le Mans, I [think I] currently hold the WSC lap record and pole record so I'm hoping to carry on a good record around Le Sarthe. I don't know if I can overcome you, Matt and Jonny in the race but I will try my hardest to do so...
As I said on Saturday, I think the biggest decision will be high downforce or low downforce both have advantages

I did that in WSC (where we had SS tyres) and it was fast but scary as hell

Pulling out of this, didn't realise it was a monthly thing... Plus there's no way I'll be coming back to GT5 one December 6th rolls around (unless the game breaks on me or something) 
Best of luck guys 👍

I have just done some testing and found very little difference in lap time between high and low downforce. With low downforce, what I gain on the straights I lose in the corners. Unless I'm missing something?

I don't know exactly for these cars, but in WSC it was worth around 1.5 seconds per lap to run low df

I'm glad you brought that up, I was under the impression we would convert this series over to the GT6 version and finish it there?
Stewards can I get an answer on this idea? It sounds like it would keep some drivers from the looks of it'

To quote the OP "Note: this championship was devised to be run solely on GT5, however as demand and opportunity arise it may be moved to Gran Turismo 6 after its release."
Due to the closeness of the 2nd race (Dec 21st) in the series to the release date of GT6, it is unlikely that Le Mans would be on GT6. The final round might well be so long as the entrants have the game/cars.

JB, its safe to add Me & TnT to this list from here on out now! 👍
I;m hoping so at least too. We already put in the work and damn sure don't need any license challenges to prove we can drive Turismo. I need them to let us pick up were we left off, Tracks & Garage!!!
