Rules:
GTP OLR Rules
  • Please familiarize yourself with these rules prior to the event.
  • You are expected 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)
  • 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)
  • 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 will be hosted in the MCRC Lounge,
add PSN: MCRC_Lounge

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.


Note: If you want to race but don't have the car, let me know! I have extras! 👍

LOVE IT!,

I will have to check all the dates I can do, but
Tuesday & wednesday seem the most likely 👍
 
I like that you always go for the low powered and unusual cars, those are my favourites. Have to wait with the signup though, got to check the dates. :)
 
I can definitely make it the 28th, possibly the 26th or the 29th. My Cube is Beam Gray Pearl.

And melon, if you want nostalgia for GT4's missions, why not try out Magic Lap? It might be kind of late for you, but it's on Fridays at 10PM EDT.

It's not so much a competition because we can't get the delays perfectly accurate, but it tends to be quite fun. You'll probably need to ask for a friend request for the S.N.A.I.L. division 3 lounge in the S.N.A.I.L. thread if you are interested.
 
Yes please Melon, will have to download the track, not sure if I have this:dopey:
 
Ah, those days of Gran Turismo 4. I'll sign up for this for the 25th August 2012, if someone has a Cube I can borrow.
 
Welcome everyone!
It's going to be an entertaining race event!

Be sure to tell your friends who might be interested! :D
(translation: pester your friends to join in the fun :sly: :lol:)

Oh yeah, we talked about that before! I thought that was a darn cool idea.
But yeah, 10pm Friday is late for me... if I'm awake then I'm not really fit for racing... and even if I am, the ps3 is usually not mine to commandeer at that hour. ;) I'll let the other ps3 user in the household know about the magic lap thing though - he might be interested in joining in.

I was so glad when Motegi DLC came out. Got me back into racing. :) It was the tracks I missed from gt4.
Of course I wish they'd get back that one driving park track too. The one where in the 1-make lupo race all the AI cars would fall into the pit by accident because there was a hinky turn at that point of the track. That track was simply awesome for low power cars.
I also miss Seattle.

I'm trying to pick a car for the Motegi Road Course. If you have any ideas of cars to test there, let me know. 👍
 
:lol: This looks amazing.

"Probably" for all non weekend races. Not sure on car colour, don't think I have one.
 
I will definitely try to make at least one of those times.
 
This is probably the most stupid race idea I have come across in my GTP life.

So I will do everything in my power to be a part of it.

After I made the Jensen Interceptor event post, bender2011/miata_1 implied that I'm the pied piper of GTP. :lol: Saying I'll somehow round up people to race just about anything.
Then I saw bender2011/miata_1 in a shuffle room last night where people I don't even know where recommending "watermelon's shuffle rooms"
So I figured why not cubes @ ovals like the gt4 driving mission? :lol:
I can pull this one off! :D

Draft battles with low power cars are surprisingly fun actually!
Check out Oval Racing Series|Miata TC
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=262039
That's going to be a hoot if the Low HP League oval races that Aceboy127 has had are any indication! :D

I've never managed to pull off a Tank Car race. :lol: (Even jackargent thinks that's just wrong. ha ha) But I saw that the CRAP people have raced it apparently! :) And I think universally that's the one car a great many people believe is absolutely stupid to race. :lol:
 
I'm not going to be able to make it Tuesday, but put me down for a definitely on Wednesday, as I still want to participate.
 
Okay so a few people have yet to specify some possibles on the proposed possible schedules. ??
Let me know.



Still waiting for some interested parties to give me some possibles on their schedule:

I was just thinking about the 1st time I saw a Nissan Cube like this.
It was turquoise like this one:
http://www.carpages.co.uk/nissan/nissan-cube-review-part-1-12-04-10.asp

One of my neighbors where I used to live got company that arrived in one just like that. What was astonishing is that when the people got out it was like a clown car! So many people got out of it, it didn't seem possible they fit. But instead of clowns... they were all pretty young women. :lol:
 
MY aunt has a red Cube (a newer one like that picture), and it's astonishingly roomy inside. In fact it literally feels like a room. But it's a little scary because the "walls" feel like they're paper thin. Very comfortable though.
 
Ah, why not. I'm always up for something oddball and these 3PMs work well for me.

25 August Saturday NOT possible
26 August Sunday NOT possible
28 August Tuesday NOT possible
29 August Wednesday NOT possible
31 August Friday definitely
1 September Saturday NOT possible
2 September Sunday NOT possible


That was probably the single most convoluted way I could have done that…

My schedule has been set. The above is the updated plan.

Green Go's always my color. :)

:lol:
And I made the thing there so that it could be easily quoted and you could just bold the choice, or delete out the not choices. :lol:

Alas, no matter what I do thinking I'm making things easier, people wind up having a harder time. :lol: :scared: :boggled:

Like when I've had track votes, and I say "order them in order starting with your most preferred at #1"... and then people rate 4 tracks, 1, 2, 3, and 99, in order to try & skew/cheat the way I do the math to decide the most popular track. :lol:
 
Hehe. No problem. The way that I did that wasn't your fault. I went in with a plan and halfway through realized it was stupid but plugged away, anyway. I've always been rather stubborn. :rolleyes:
 
Probably should decide on times soon, at least decide if you're doing it today or not ^^
 
Yes, we'll give it a go today, see if we get at least 4 drivers, and at least it's a test run. :D
I cut Tuesday because the list was identical to Wednesday.

So here's the proposed tentative line-up. (I don't mind doing it several times, that's for sure. :lol: More chances for hilarity!! :D)
