Welcome! I want to create a fun, competitive and enjoyable race series exclusive to the Formula Gran Turismo chassis. Have a look around and stay a while!
Rules: I want this series to be as fair as possible for all drivers involved. Things like cutting corners, intentionally causing collisions etc. will not be tolerated. These are things that ruin the race for everyone and effectively ruin the driving experience. Drivers will be kicked out of the series with due cause. Use Common Sense! Be a respectful, fair racer, and the same courtesy will be extended to you!
Regulations: Formula Gran Turismo Chassis @ 760 bhp, 690 kg per 2014 FIA regulations
Beyond these specifications, all other tuning or modification is allowed.
Room Settings:
- Tire wear/Fuel consumption on "Normal"
Qualifying procedure: 15 minute qualifier will determine grid order.
Pit Rules: - Mandatory Pit Stop(s) will be enforced
-Pit Lane Exit: No driver will cross Pit Exit Lane! A 5s penalty will be issued by the penalty system implemented in Gran Turismo.
Tyres: Soft/Med tyre arrangement. Each tyre must be used for a minimum of 10 laps per race.
- Arrangements of Soft fr./Med bk. or vice versa are disallowed.
Collision Policy:
Collisions resulting in considerable losses of time and/or positions should be reported to myself via the Playstation Network upon completion of the race, along with the members involved and the accompanying lap number. If the collision is reviewed and deemed deliberate, the instigating party will be disqualified, or at the very least issued a penalty at my own personal discretion. Collisions resulting from aggressive, careless driving could also potentially result in a penalty/disqualification depending on the severity of the accident. I understand that collisions/mistakes are unavoidable in auto racing, and that we are all human. I also know the disappointment/frustration that follows a collision that has the potential to ruin a race. Just be smart! When in doubt, drive defensively.
Lag Policy: Drivers who do not have a reliable connection, or intentionally D/C during a race will be issued 2 warnings before their subsequent removal from the series. Problems arise when people lag during races, so please do your best to avoid this reality.
Caution Rule: If a collision occurs between two drivers in the first lap, both drivers will then pause and type "caution". The field will slow to 120km/75mph and allow for the driver(s) to catch up. They will then assume the positions they qualified in, and the rest of the field will continue at that same speed until the first driver reaches the start/finish line.
Pace Lap Procedure: Drivers will stay in their grid spots determined by qualifying. Each driver will give adequate space to the driver in front of them to avoid collisions. The pack will proceed at a speed of 120km/75mph, until the first driver crosses the start/finish line. Under no circumstances may overtaking occur. Please stay at the specified speed, and avoid sudden starts and stops while the pace lap occurs. Follow these rules to ensure a smooth pace lap and a seamless transition into the remainder of the race.
Point System:
Pole Position: 1 point
Fastest Lap: 1 point
*Final Race will be worth double*
Race Times: 3pm Eastern Standard Time, Sunday (subject to change)
