INTRODUCTION

The International Supercar Challenge (ISC) was created with the intentions of gathering the best GT drivers in the world and pitting them against each other in a variety of highly tuned, exotics supercars, on some of the worlds greatest, most challenging race tracks. The Championship will take place at 8 different venues, using 8 different highly modified supercars for each race. Not only will this bring a high level excitement and unexpectedness to each upcoming race, we will also find out who truly is the most adaptable and universal driver when it comes to getting the most out of all these various supercars, whether it be a modified supercharged RWD V8 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, or a highly tuned twin turbocharged AWD V6 Nissan GTR V-spec. All 16 drivers will be using the same make/model of car during each particular round, but will be allowed to fine tune such variables as: suspension, brakes, transmission gearing, ballast and the differential/s to maximize the cars potential, and to adjust the car to their particular driving style.

Please take the time to thoroughly read through the rules, details, and regulations of the Championship. Thanks for your interest!

RULES & REGULATIONS

- Each round will have specific details on what modifications. HP/TQ, weight, and PP competitors will be allowed to use for that rounds specified vehicle. We chose to leave the area of HP/TQ, weight, aero at a set requirement to ensure that there are no large discrepancies between the cars straightline or cornering performance (due to major power/weight ratio & aero differences).

- Lobby settings: No aids allowed except for ABS. Tire wear/fuel consumption on, damage set to limited, grip reduction off line: real, penalties turned off.

- No mandatory pit stops.

- Run off areas may be used unless specifically stated otherwise.

- The first violations of any rule relating to car specification or allowed mods will result in a warning.. A second violation will result in a 20 point deduction and starting from the back of the grid in the following race. A 3rd violation of the rules and requirements will result in termination from the Championship. We take the rules seriously! More importantly to try and promote fair play and fun for all! Thank you :)

- Last but not least, clean racing please! At this level you should know the code of conduct! Any issues or incidents that are not resolved between drivers shall be reported to the race stewards (myself or Piket) for further review.

RACE FORMAT

- Races will most likely be held over the weekend (most likely on Sunday), somewhere around 8 PM GMT. if the weekend does not work for the majority of entrants, we will vote on a race date/time if necessary.

- When race day comes around, the host (GTP_timeattack or tony1311) will open up the room ~ 30 minutes before the scheduled qualifying time. Qualifying will be 20 minutes in length. During qualifying please be careful not to hinder other drivers on your outlaps or if you have made a large mistake.

- 2 separate heat races per round, with the first race being the main event and twice the number of laps as the 2nd heat race. For the 2nd heat race, starting order will be based on a reverse order of the previous race results. Generally the 1st race will be roughly 35-40 minutes in length, while the 2nd race will be a shorter sprint race lasting only 20 minutes approximately. The final round of the Championship will be just 1 race (the length of 2 normal heat races) but with an increased points allotment.

- Standing Starts for both heat races.

HOW TO REGISTER


We have created this Championship with the interest of attracting drivers with a high level of skill in order to promote the highest quality, most exciting and competitive racing possible. If you are interested in joining and think you have what it takes to compete in this demanding and challenging series, you will want to contact either me by GTplanet PM (PSN GTP_timeattack) or Piket (PSN tony1311) to schedule a date to run the open qualifier, which will be held in a online room/lobby hosted by either Piket or myself. During the qualifier you will be given just 7 flying laps in all to meet the target time of 2:00.00, which is roughly 2-2.5 seconds off the theoretical best time possible. Before you try the qualifier you will want to make sure that you have gotten enough prior practice in, to ensure that you have a good chance of meeting target time!

Dude this looks amazng. As a fellow F1 super fan. %lm in :) 👍
 
Thanks for the interest Wardez :cheers:

Send me a PM when you get a chance, with times you would be available to run a open qualifier 👍

I'll have Round 1 info posted within the next 24 hours, as well as a good bit more polishing up.
 
Will do - thanks.

I just love the rule set you two've come up with. Simple and concise. I like the added touch of GP2 style two-part race format. Interesting tracklist, it's just a grand tour of the best of everything GT5 has to offer.

That, with the added element of being able to draw the best of the best, is just going to make this a killer series.

Race on_
 
Hey guys, just want to let you know i'll be available for Qualifying session pretty much everyday between 16:00 and 19:00 GMT. Feel free to shoot me a pm if you have a specific request for the time and date or any questions regarding the championship.
 
Looks like an interesting series. But I got one question: Grip reduction OFF line: Real? What does that say? We can't race off-line, right? So will the gripreduction be set to real but with no tyre wear or what?

I'm guessing it's a typo. Grip reduction will be set to Real. Qualification procedure will be done online. The contestant within the 8 lap race has the opportunity to do 7 flying laps by himself with no tire wear. The race will be watched by either GTP_Timeattack or me to make sure evrything is clean. The replay of the race will be saved in case there is a need for a more thorough examination.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. So the qualifier will be run without tyre wear, but the races will have tyre wear set to "on"?

Exactly. The qualifier is run with tire wear off in order to ensure the contestant has 7 equal opportunities to break the target time.
 
I'm very interested, what days are you planing on runing the events?
 
Yeah RT, that's right. Sundays around noon for us on the West Coast.
 
The races are most likely to take place on the weekend and probably on Sunday. As for the timezones: 8 PM GMT is 3PM Eastern time.

Exact dates and times will be decided later on, when enough people have joined so that we can finalize the program depending on everybody's preferations.
 
Yeah I guess that works for me I guess. I usually watch the NASCAR races on Sundays, but at the moment I have to stream them over the internet so hopefully my connection will be ok while doing that.

Edit: Also depends on how I do in Silverstone...

Actually you would be right 50% of the year. I live in ET zone and we are now -4 because of the "summer time". So it would be at 4:00PM ET.

By the way seeing how this looks official, I truly regret to see that freaking little yellow light flashing on my PS3, as I would like to get involved in this.

I will get involved as soon as I can, if this is possible and believe me: I will watch every replay posted online 👍

This is because GMT is often mixed up with BST. BST is the same as GMT during the winter, but +1 hour during the summer.

So my guess is that tony1311 talks about BST (Brittish Standard Time).
 
That would make alot of sense.. any of you guys online now? im looking to do some racing?

Oh, it could be, but if he was talking about GMT, in this time of year, ET is GMT -5 👍
 
Hey guys, sorry for the late response! I didn't realize so many people had posted in here over the past day...I thought the thread was sinking like a ship :lol:

Those who are showing interest remember that the qualifier must be done first in order to sign up . So until you have qualified unfortunately I can't add you to the definite entrant list. Just a reminder to shoot either me or Piket a PM when you feel you are ready to run the online qualifier 👍

I'm going to do some last minute testing in order to finalize the rules and regulations for Round 1. Expect to see info posted regarding Round 1 within the next 2 hours or so.

Of course the date for Round 1 won't be announced until we have the 16 entries, but for now you will at least have time to test and work on a setup. We may also have a pre-season test in the not too distant future, so keep your eyes peeled for new updates.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. So the qualifier will be run without tyre wear, but the races will have tyre wear set to "on"?

This is correct (I apologize for the typo btw). I have corrected my OP to be a bit more accurate regarding the room settings during our races.

Yeah I guess that works for me I guess. I usually watch the NASCAR races on Sundays, but at the moment I have to stream them over the internet so hopefully my connection will be ok while doing that.

Edit: Also depends on how I do in Silverstone...

That would be GREAT if you could join! We need as many fast guys as possible...and you would certainly fit the criteria :)

I'm online right now if you want to test or try running the qualifier (if you feel you are ready). Shoot me a friend request @ GTP_timeattack.

3pm EST may not be very handy for most folk even though it is a sunday

Unfortunately it might not be, but that is the problem we face when trying to organize a race with players from all around the world :indiff: Depending on who signs up, it might be possible to shift the times around a bit. Personally Sunday is a pretty free day for me, so I'm quite flexible! I just need to get some opinions from people so we can work together to come up something 👍
