GTP Online Racing Bureau (GTP ORB) Now Hiring!

[TimberW]

My League, Legend of the Streets is an odd one, will it fit into ORB?

 

[JLawrence]

Let me take a look at it. I'd be more than willing to bet that it is.

 

[TimberW]

My league has drivers of many different levels, and it doesn't really matter. But my league has generated many clean racers and many exciting races!

 

[JLawrence]

I personally think it'd be great for the ORB. Looks like a Tier 2 quality as well.
Lets wait and see what Cam and R1600 think, but as far as I'm concerned your series would be welcome.

 

[CAM]

It's good with me. I'll do the license thread later tonight, I need a break. Too many stressful people up here.

 

[TimberW]

Let me know what requirements are needed to get the orb approval.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hard to say since it's really different than what I thought we were looking for.

I say T2 also.

Could someone make a thread in the social group specifically for the tiers, and the series that are a part of the ORB.
It would explain all the requirements.
Maybe one post for each series with a short blurb about each?
That may be a lot to keep up with.

 

[CAM]

Yeah, I'll do the licenses and a list of all the people with each, and JL can do the tier thing since he seems to know them all so far.

Can the people who run each of our series give me a list of their drivers for my License thread please?

 

[JLawrence]

Sounds good to me. i will get on it
There is a thread up for the license testing. Post there.
I will make one more for the description of the Tiers and what not

 

[gogatrs]

Yeah, I'll do the licenses and a list of all the people with each, and JL can do the tier thing since he seems to know them all so far.

And can you guys look into setting the requirements for each level sometime soon? Hate to be pushy like that, I'd do it myself, but my PS3 is being prepared to get sent in for repair.

 

[JLawrence]

As in obtaining the licenses?

 

[TimberW]

Hard to say since it's really different than what I thought we were looking for.

That's what I thought as well, once you guys can decide on what to give my series, it'll be great if you could post it on the league thread. Sort of official stamping.

 

[CAM]

As in obtaining the licenses?

Yeah, that's what he meant. Is there a way to find all the drivers? I wanna get this thread done.

 

[Ruta]

I've been following this thread for a while, and I really like what you guys are doing with it. I like the licenses idea because it will give people a better sense of who is on their level racing-wise, and should lead to closer racing (which I like). I also really like the idea of the racing school - as someone who is still a young racer in Gran Turismo but is more than willing to take the time to learn, I'll be looking forward to this.

 

[JLawrence]

Well, we had decided on Trial Mountain in a Cobra for the Intermediate track correct?
I would suggest 1:27.000 as the goal time or 1:26.800.
I don't know for the Advanced, as I am not Advanced myself lol. R1600 what do you think? Maybe an Enzo on Laguna looking for a sub 20? That's quite a feat I think

 

[CAM]

While everyone is working on giving me the names of all their drivers, I'll try and set some License Test time trial times. For Intermediate I'll go about 90% of my ability, and for Pro I'll go all out. Do you guys have any car/track suggestions? I'm only gonna use Recommended Online Cars. I need those driver lists too!

EDIT: Looks like you guys have it covered, go for it. Just make sure you guys can give me your driver lists.

I think it should be a Golf on Monza.
Maybe a GTR on Trial Mountain or Grand Valley.
And the Cobra on Laguna Seca.
Up to you guys though.
Then we need to think up the 1v1 challenges.

What driver lists CAM?

 

[CAM]

Are we sanctioning your ALMS series gatrs? I'm trying to find all the series we have. I don't know which we officially have, I need them all.

I'm trying to make a thread in the group that has all the drivers in all the series we have, and what license they have (Amateur right now). So I'm trying to get all of our series leaders to give me a list with all of their drivers in it.

 

[BrandonW77]

Are you good with helping out with the license tests?
That, and I think you'd be the right guy to help decide on tier ratings.

Sure, I'm fine with both. Just let me know what's involved, you can PM me the details to keep the clutter down.

 

[WRP001]

I think what you guys are doing has some real potential. I know you want to keep independent from the WRS, but if you wanted some pretty solid times for your time trial licenses you could use data from a past WRS event. The archived results from a past week on an arcade time trial (which would eliminate tuning) would give a good range of times to shoot for. i.e. pick a Division 3 Silver/Bronze Par time if you want to make it somewhat difficult and a division 3 gold par time or better if you want to make it more exclusive.

for example:

GTP_WRS Week 18 : Official Results - Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 @ Monza​

e.g. Division 3 Bronze par time of 1'53.995 would be a pretty decent time that wouldn't eliminate too many or pick any par time to adjust difficulty. There are many weeks/combos to pick from and you probably a more solid idea of difficulty versus just trying to run a few combos yourself in a few minutes. Just a thought. Good luck.

Edit: a few other arcade trials from WRS:

GTP_WRS Week 17: Official Results - Takata Dome NSX @ Tokyo R246

GTP_WRS Week 16: Official Results - Dodge Challenger @ Laguna Seca​

 

[JLawrence]

I just threw out Trial Mt for the Cobra because I know I'm pretty fast there with it, and a 1:27 is a dang good time in it. But, I'm game for anything. Just tell me what and I will enforce it

 

[CAM]

Not a bad idea . And if you haven't received a PM from after a few minutes and you run a series that we sanction, please PM me .

Okay, I've sent PMs requesting lists to: disinfected, EliteDreamer, JLawrence, R1600Turbo, StigsHero, and TimberW.

I've received lists from: JLawrence.

Did I miss any series organizers in my PMs?

This season of my ALMS series is coming to a close in two weeks iirc.
So we'll sanction the next season. 👍

Sure, I'm fine with both. Just let me know what's involved, you can PM me the details to keep the clutter down.

PM coming your way.
Watch for a social group invitation.

That's a VERY good idea, but that's in offline mode, so the physics will be different.

 

[CAM]

Okay, updated list situation.

Okay, I've sent PMs requesting lists to: disinfected, EliteDreamer, JLawrence, R1600Turbo, StigsHero, and TimberW.

I've received lists from: JLawrence, R1600Turbo (no list available yet), disinfected (series won't be used), TimberW.

Once again, if you run a series and want to be sanctioned, please notify me and send me a driver list .

UPDATE! I only need StigsHero and EliteDreamer's lists to do the thread .

 

[Downhill Dino]

Hold on... I'm getting to it.

 

[gogatrs]

Cam, StigsHero is going to do license tests and be part of the group that assigns tiers.
Please add him to your list.

 

[CAM]

I have everyone's except EliteDreamer's! Am I missing any series, or am I good to go to make the thread after I get that list? That will be a grand total of 4 series sanctioned: TimberW's, EliteDreamer's, JLawrence's, and StigsHero's.

Links are now in my sig .

EDIT: Just received ED's list, and I'm on it gatrs .

And eventually mine and RT's.
I think this should be in a GoogleDoc, not a thread...
Eventually it will become VERY large. :/

 

[Downhill Dino]

Your using a spreadsheet right? That would work well. 👍

I could do it if you want. Maybe... not at the moment though. Busy.
