For its fifth season, the Rei Sportscar Championship moves from Project Cars 2 to Gran Turismo Sport. After several RSC drivers capturing multiple track records in PC2, the move to GTS provides a lot of excitement. We're currently heavily recruiting ahead of our shift to this new platform and hope to find some clean racers of any calibre to join our league.
We race on Mondays at 8pm (UK/IRL) - 3pm (US EST) and operate eight-round seasons with a bye week after Round 4. The best six results count towards your championship total, so there's even some wiggle room if you miss a round or two.
If you hold the same nostalgia for losing hundreds of hours to older GT games, you'll like our league promo video.

1. Each round will be scored as the following:
10-6-4-3-2-1

3. Points are awarded to full-time competitors only, with a “full-time competitor” defined as someone who is registered from the start of the season.
4. The countback procedure in the event of a tie will be whoever held the lead of the championship at that respective points total first, i.e. to get first place, you have to beat the current championship leader rather than simply tie with them. A tie will go to the person who held the championship lead for the longest consecutive period of time counting backwards from the end of the championship.
5. The best livery in each class for each of the four themes (regular, otaku, midnight run, throwback) plus the single best livery will receive one championship point. The maximum number of points on offer for this category is five.

1. All drivers should report to the race lobby at least five minutes before the scheduled race start.

3. In the event of technical issues or a major accident involving multiple cars (more than two), a race session may be restarted at the discretion of the league manager.

6. You do not have the right to take a “qualifying line” when dealing with other cars. You must consider other cars around you while navigating a track.
7. The car which previously held the higher position should be given right of way in overtaking situations, such that, you must pass cleanly and entirely, and anything that would be registered as “fifty-fifty” will give priority to the driver who held the spot before the sequence of events took place.
8. One move is allowed in a braking zone by a leading driver. They may take an inside line all the way down a straight, then use their one move to either stay on an inside line for a hard defense, or move back out onto the standard line provided that it is clear.
9. It is possible that drivers can potentially avoid a penalty by “redressing” their action on track after contact with another car by slowing down and pulling fully behind the wronged driver. This should be done with car and handled safely and not create a situation which may cause further incidents. Depending on the severity of the initial offense, this does not guarantee a driver to be absolved of their dangerous driving, but will be taken into account when assessing an incident.
10. Racing incidents carry the following potential penalties: Warning / 10 seconds / 30 seconds / 1 lap / 1 race ban / Season ban.
11. Previous penalties will be taken into account when assessing current penalties. Repeat offenses are subject to increase in severity.

1. The aim of ballast is to equalise all competitors over the course of a season. The aim is not to punish winning but to ideally give every driver in the field at least one race where there is an opportunity to run at the front of the pack.
2. Cars must run the GTS default BOP percentage weight for their cars at all times.
3. For every 10 championship points you gain, you will be docked an additional 1.5 percent of power output from the maximum permitted power of your car.
4. You must reach full percentage increments before you are required to deduct from your power total. E.G. 10 points = 1.5 percent ballast but requires just 1 percent to be removed. However, 20 points = 3 percent ballast, and so the full 3 percent must be deducted.
5. The minimum power output allowed to be incurred by any car is -10 percent from their GTS default BOP setting.
6. Ballast will be calculated and published in weekly tables.
7. Ballast will take into account a single dropped round for points after the first four races of the season.
8. Ballast metrics may be adjusted if the entire field incurs a minimum amount, and will focus on keeping the last placed regular competitor on their standard GTS BOP power percentage even if they gain enough points to incur ballast.
9. Ballast metrics may be adjusted at any point during the season to allow for closer racing. Rates may increase or decrease if ballast appears to have too little or too much of an effect on the race outcome.
