Hey guys. This past week and a half has been some of the most fun I've had with a group of guys on Gran Turismo. I can't thank you all enough, for the short amount of time already put in by everybody. I especially can't thank @FootballFan48 enough for standing by my side, and helping me most of all while we branched out and began this wonderful series. It has been a great and exciting week, and it has been great to meet new people and introduce them to the GtPlanet.

It has been a great start and I am expecting to see a good turn out to the race on Tuesday. That is also a reminder. Race dates have been changed to Tuesday and Friday! Race times remain the same! Expect Races to last 2 1/2 hours total, qualifying to the drop of the checkered flag.

Everyone enjoy the weekend, stay safe and have a great holiday! See you all Tuesday!


STAY SAFE EVERYONE!!!:D:cheers:

Hey guys, just realized a mistake I made and am correcting it. instead of one day before the race. I made one final adjustment to the schedule. We will not be racing this Friday. We will only be racing this Tuesday. The weeks after remain the same unless something unexpected comes up. This was expected but it slipped my mind, so my mistake. I'll be out of town for the weekend, the 9-11 for the NASCAR races at Kentucky Speedway, Unless @FootballFan48 would want to run it. Otherwise it is Scheduled for the first Tuesday after this week. Sorry guys, minor slip by me.

A better looking points standings can be found in the OP or on Google Docs/Sheets
Here is the PHPC Driver Points Standings.
Here is the Driver Race Attendance list.
Here is the Driver Finishing Records.
Here is the Driver Entry List for the Midwestern 150.
Lastly Here is the Driver Penalties board. Which is quite empty right now

The OP Has been updated and given a major face lift, in depth things will be fixed or added shortly, specifically the PCS Rules will be revamped and updated. No body had too many problems with them, this will be more for race officials. Also, if you haven't made yourself aware of the PCS rules, please do so.

Something that will be added is do not quit a race, in doing so you will forfeit all points for the race, lose points and could result in a suspension. If you have to go, that is fine. Tell me and arrangements will be made. Consider this your fair warning everyone. Any thing that makes you angry can be sorted out, there is no need to leave a race without saying a word. Not only is it rude and disrespectful, but it shows immaturity. Something this series has no room for.

On to other things, as of now, no penalties have been given, as there was only one caution. There is not much to give. But will be reviewed tomorrow.

The second thing you may notice is that drivers who did not race such as Trobes, Jack, Swift and Yeshi got points. The reason for doing so is because these drivers told me they would not be able to make it, or were there and could not participate. Drivers who do not make any attempt to come, or make notice that they will not be there, receive no points for the weekend, are placed on a watch list and will eventually be banned for lack of attendance. Always make sure to notify me, a race official or steward if you will not be participating in the race.

And lastly going on to the race, a congratulations are in order to everyone. For making such a fun, clean race happen. Thank you guys all so much. A congratulations are in order for the Podium winners of the race.

Congratulations Crystalline_Tear, amdlll, and iWinYouLooz for being the first podium winners and points leaders of the season.

Crystalline_Tear received the Fastest lap of the Race, as well as the Most laps Lead resulting in 4 additional points, while iWinYouLooz received the Pole Time Qualifying Bonus resulting in 1 additional point. The move of the race has yet to be discovered as the race has not been reviewed.

The result doesn't just come with the points and bonus points, but also a succes ballast!
Crystalline_Tear will have 15kg Added to his Ferrari 430 Scuderia - With a pending Horse Power reduction
amdlll will have 10kg added to his already heavy Audi R8 4.2 FSI R Tronic
iWinYouLooz will have 5kg added to his Mazda Rx-8

As of now, the failure ballast will not be implemented as the last two drivers left the race. More about that will be added soon.

With all of that in order. In the coming days, a full race report will be released of tonight's race! Thank you guys so much for your patience, commitment and clean racing! Lets keep it up!!!

Don't forget The Honda Fit 100 is one week from today on July 14th! Don't forget to practice guys! I'm sure I'll see you all around!
 
I left the race because I was on fresh tires, made a pass on the straight, got divebombed and door slammed into the grass, and get bitched at about blue flags. I'm the faster car at this point, and although I was a lap down, I had the lead and had just made the pass. Should I have followed mikkel the rest of the race? Keep in mind the same guy did the same thing to me on lap one entering the tunnel, but twice and then getting bitched at like it was my fault? Call it immature if you want, but investing my time and energy just to get **** on just isn't worth it when the same non-driving jackass pulls the same garbage move twice and finishes 5th that's a clear indicator that it's time to go. And mikkel you got one coming bro.

It was clearly stated at the beginning of the race that Blue Flag means get out of the way. You passed him, broke the rule, and he dive bombed and wrecked you. Should he of divebombed? No. Should you of Ignored the Blue Flag? No. It's immaturity like that that'll get you banned real quick. I'm not Brown, but I know that's how it goes.
 
I was out of the way, I chased him down for two or three laps, caught him and passed him you nitwit, I wasn't in the way at that point. I was the faster car, and since when does being a lap down mean you can't fight for it back? The blue flag in racing is for when a faster car on the lead lap is approaching a slower car that's going/is a lap down, not when a lapped car on fresher tires that has more pace is trying to make up time. Don't be stupid. I realize you were the one handing out nonsensical blue flags, and need to defend your ignorance of race procedure, but if you think you can do so at my expense, you're sadly mistaken.

You must not remember a clue how that went. If you were behind him already, you wouldn't of gotten a blue flag. It was the fact that he was behind you, then passed you, but you still tried to battle with him. He wasn't even the leader, so if you think you had to battle with him, YOU'RE sadly mistaken. I was giving out Blue Flags based on what the SERIES ORGANIZER said to do. Just because you managed to pass him in the Straight with a car that was designed to be a straight line car doesn't make you above the rules. If you think you're can do what you want, and ignore the rules and get away with it, I think Brown will gladly show you the door.
 
I remember exactly how it went, he passed me on my out lap, gapped me, I fought back chased him down, passed him cleanly, got wrecked. Sorry, but you're mistaken, I was in the damned car driving, you were sitting on the other side of the mystic eating Doritos and enjoying your new found sense of authority. I'm guessing by your grammar English is your second language, but if you want to raise your voice like that to my face, grab your Charlie card, I'll get you a Portuguese bus schedule, and you can take a ride over the river and I'll give you a slap in the mouth and some old DVDs of races so that you might actually know what you're talking about in the future. Besides, a blue flag is a courtesy flag meant to have a slower car move out of the way and let the leader pass. I did that, then I ran him down once the heat got into my tires. You literally know nothing, and all the CapsLock and name dropping of the series chief you can muster will not change that fact.

Point out any grammar mistakes, as English is my first language and I'm an American. The fact that you're trying to use grammar, and where someone may be from as an insult, already shows how immature you are. Maybe you should just go back to Dirty NASCAR rooms where you can slam into everyone you want, without a care about rules. Looking back at the replay now, there's multiple occasions where you should of been given avoidable contact and track boundary warnings and penalties. You don't belong here, everyone else is kind and respectful, you're just and egotistical d*** who thinks he's above and beyond the rules. You're attitude AND driving are a joke.

No you won't.

Now how about dropping the attitude and the ridiculous insults and discussing the matter like the mature individual you're inferring yourself to be?
 
Ok, ok, ok. Everyone calm down. Tony, I understand why you're angry. We can work this out. It was a racing incident, and is being reviewed. It was the first thing I watched last night. Trobes, no need to imeiditally shove the ban-hammer in his face. I've been in that position before. We're going to talk about it. But Tony, that latter comment wasn't needed buddy.

Trobes, you can drop it as well. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, its being dealt with, but you're exacerbating things.



Edit: Clean slate was for drivers I knew had a reputation in other series. Tony, I've messaged you. Message me back. We can sort this out.

I wasn't shoving the ban hammer in his face over the incident, I was saying that because of the way he broke GTP OLR and resulted to just insulting me, he's ridiculous.
 
I still think you should still race with us, if my opinion matters LOL
Everyone's opinion matters here.


It's cool, I apologize to everyone for overreacting. I just wanted to defend myself and got a head of steam. Won't happen again.
Tony, everything is fine by me. Like I said, I'll work something out. But I understand defending yourself, I had to do it on a week by week basis. Something I don't want you to have to do weekly. But thank you.
