Cars:

10: Mazda 6 5-door ‘03
Those are the cars I'm currently testing. Some may or may not survive the process of elimination. Italicized cars have a premium interior view.
Important note: do NOT install stage 3 weight reduction in SEAT Ibiza Cupra. You will be asked to remove it. Even for testing, I can guarantee, it will not work for the full season.
Aerodynamic note: All cars must have the rear aerodynamic spoilers fitted. All other aerodynamic parts are optional. Teams with the Ford Focus ST '06 shall use the same "aero package" on both team cars (meaning flat floors and bumpers as well as the wings) for a uniform appearance. Drivers from each other manufacturer may install any "generic" rear wing.

Race days/times:
Series races will take place on Saturday @ 8:30 GMT-0. Qualifying may be called an hour early, in the case of 30-40 needing to qualify.
Race Lengths:
Sprint Events
5 minute qualifying - mandatory participation - no late arrivals accepted
Disconnect procedure in place
50 km. Race 1
50 km. Race 2
Total = approximately 100 km. per race day

10 minute qualifying - mandatory participation - no late arrivals accepted
Disconnect procedure in place
25 km. Race 1
75 km. Race 2
Total = approximately 100 km. per race day
Qualifying System:
In ITCC 4, there will be no maximum number of entries. Anyone and everyone will always be allowed to join, except as penalized for poor conduct. However, in case more than 16 drivers register, only 16 of the fastest drivers will be able to participate, following a systematic qualifying race group.
For events with more than 32 entrants (however unlikely,) three lobbies will be opened. The fastest 5 from each will automatically advance. It is expected that all drivers will attempt to evenly space out the lobbies. The 16th fastest driver will also get in to the main lobby, behind the fastest 15 from the three lobbies.
For events with 16 or fewer entrants, there will not be go-or-go-home qualifying.
With no points scored for not qualifying, all drivers will be forced to push themselves to the limits to qualify or be sent packing with no points - in a championship, a 0 point DNS is a big loss.
Disconnect procedure:
- Inform the Race Director of the disconnect via PSN PM
- attempt to re-join
- Type in GT6 CHAT BOX "D/C"
- If all 3 steps are completed satisfactorily within 3 (three) minutes of the race start, the race will be restarted.
Invisible Competitor Procedure:
Prior to the start of each Race, all drivers will be asked to note the number of cars they see on-track, and compare to the number of people in the lobby. Take note of any discrepancies. If the driver who is NOT visible on track is tuning, spectating, or otherwise visibly doing something else, then there is no problem. However, if you see 15 people on track, and there are actually 16 people on track, this is a serious problem. You could end up inadvertently taking someone else off of the circuit. In that case, you must state "I do NOT see - and I will re-join quickly." If you return and the problem is settled, the race will start as normal. If you can not see the driver, it is caused by Error 697, and you may want to consider following Error 697 procedure to solve it.
Anyone who experience invisible competitor procedure MAY be allowed to race under the following conditions:
- the series host MUST be able to see you and all other drivers. This is highest priority.
- You must only be invisible to one driver, and you must not be able to see that same driver.
- You must continue to adhere to all driving standards as if you could see the other driver. Yes, you will not see the other driver who is invisible. You can not be involved in a crash with someone you can't see, as long as they can't see you.
Error 697 procedure:
In the case of a driver receiving the "Error 697: Host Incompatibility" message, the driver will PM the Series Director and will ask to receive points for that round. The round will continue, and the driver will score last place points for the races. There is currently no solution for Error 697 except port-forwarding and DMZ.

Team of Stewards:
For ITCC 4 and every subsequent season of ITCC, the following rules will organize an application process for ToS:
- Have a clean record with ITCC (no penalties in the previous six months)
- Have completed at least one season
- PM @ITCC_Andrew with Subject: "ToS Application"
- Join the team
The ToS will function as our official replay review committee, as well as help to test cars evenly. The ToS will receive insider information about the upcoming events and seasons, as a bonus. Any ToS member who finds an incident in a replay should report the incident to @ITCC_Andrew and the other ToS members. Each ToS member will be designated with a short segment of racing to review. The typical segment of racing to review will be one race length. We ask that the ToS members review replays of all viewpoints of the first lap, and all subsequent laps as necessary.
ToS will be called upon to act in the decision making process, regarding penalty-situations.
Late Arrival procedure:
- Sit out of the race until the next race
- Lose points
Sorry, if you're late, you're late.
Server Problems procedure:
"If PD/GT6 servers crash/experience difficulties/go down for maintenance during or immediately (36 hours) before races, races will either be re-scheduled or skipped, pending on situation. During preseason, the races will be immediately skipped, but during normal season, races will be re-scheduled to happen the following weekend, thus shifting the remainder of the entire schedule by a full week."

Driver Biography:
Andrew is a very fast driver in open air and traffic. Consistency is the name of the game, and aggression is minimized in order to continually prevail with a podium finish. Although Andrew lacks the pace of the faster drivers, he can quite often make his way through the field by taking advantage of errors of the other drivers through his own consistency.

Driver Biography:
YaShoe is very similar to his teammate, except in terms of consistency and aggression. YaShoe is much more likely to dice with his competitors, almost as if to say "all or nothing!" Fast off of the line, and talented, he can make up positions quickly. He aims to win races, and certainly does, on occasion.

Driver Biography:
Nas is an aggressive driver. He will find the limit of his cars and tires, and will reach beyond it, with some sort of driving wizardry. He can pull off highly aggressive passing, but simply doesn't have the pace for wins against the fastest. His main talent is in using his AWD to make excellent race starts and propel himself into the Top 5 within a lap... All without causing crashes.

Driver Biography:
Buck is history in the making. She was ITCC's first race winner, and was part of Team Toad & Toadess when they won ITCC 3's B category, making her a champion of sorts, as well. Her well-balanced approach to the track shows an inner charisma and a well-thought out plan. She plans her races from flag to flag, and executes well. Although she doesn't excel in any particular area, she does everything well.

Driver Biography:
This British kart racer is fast. He and his teammate use excellent teamwork to their advantage to get the most out of their cars. Although qualifying and consistency are not the strong suits of Dano, his pace can usually keep him near the front, especially when he has the help of his teammate.

Driver Biography:
The epitome of speed, Caine brings relentless pace to every race, every lap, and every corner. He drives with a mystique, with complete control of the car and an in-depth knowledge of the circuit. His fast laps are admired by fellow competitors. The only area he could improve is working through traffic. Slow reflexes and low aggression normally means that he doesn't take the chance to make a successful pass when his competitors make mistakes, which often sees him shuffled down the ranks.

Driver Biography:
Blake is a jack of many trades. His reflexes mean that he can take advantage of the most minor of bobbles from his competitors, easily finding his way past other competitors. Although his driving can be slightly inconsistent, he has proven that - when it really counts - he can keep it on the island and take the checkered flag.

Driver Biography:
Ciro is the most well-rounded driver in ITCC. He can do everything slightly above average. Whether it be qualifying, race pace, consistency or tricky overtakes, he can do it all. He and his teammate can certainly contend the championship, as he proved by narrowly losing 2nd place in the ITCC 3 overall standings, and being ITCC 3's Rising Star. He has a trophy cabinet for ITCC successes already, and he's just looking for more.
