Welcome to the official thread for the GTPlanet Production Car Endurance Association! I'm its founder and chief event organizer with my trusty sidekick AllTerainTiger. Below you will see the currently proposed event ideas and rules. They are all multi-class, production car-based endurance events. Nothing ridiculous in length, just long enough to test one's stamina.
With that, I present to you the currently proposed GTPlanet PCEA events.

I'm considering putting the following settings on each championship:

Grip Reduction: Real
Mechanical Damage: Light or Heavy, leaning toward Heavy. This is meant to keep the racing as clean as possible.
ABS: 1 at max.
TCS: 2 at max.
ASM: Off
Active Steering: Your choice
This is a brand new sanctioning body and I'm looking for people to help out with in certain areas, most notably stewarding. If anyone is interested in applying for this position, sound off here.
