This season has concluded. GT500 will return in 2021.
The Turn One GT500 Cup is an 8-race weekly series using the Gr.2 GT500 cars in Gran Turismo Sport (PS4), competing in races across different circuits in game. The series has two championships: the Drivers Championship, where drivers compete to score the highest amount of points in the season and the Teams Championship, where drivers pair up in teams, and the pair that scores the most points wins the championship. A maximum of 7 teams of 2 drivers can enter.

The GT500 Cup is sanctioned by the SRF (Sim Racing Federation) and will follow the “GT” ruleset of their current regulations (v2.0). The full document can be seen here.
Alongside the SRF rulebook, the GT500 series also uses their license tier system. The system works by earning/losing points on your license, determining your driver tier. All new drivers in the SRF start in the Amateur tier, with 35 points to start. Drivers earn points by finishing in higher positions and by racing cleanly, and lose points with unsportsmanlike behavior or incidents.
The series uses a system sometimes known as “first, second, third offense, etc.”, which means that penalties will be greater if a rule is broken several times. Example: Driver 1 missed one race without notifying the admins, and was given a warning. Later in the season he missed a race again without notifying the admins, and on this occasion was given a drive-through penalty.
Drivers will face post-race penalties awarded by the Stewards in case of them causing an incident. Incidents that occur during Qualifying or the race can be reported to the Stewards, via a message presenting the report like shown in the example below:
Incident Report
Lap 1, turn 7
Driver that caused the incident: Driver X
Other drivers involved: Driver Y, Driver Z
Description: Driver X left the track to overtake me and forced me off the track. He then went for a divebomb on Drivers Y and Z, crashing into both of them.
This format is used to simplify the process of finding the incident on replay.
The penalty awarded and how many penalty points are awarded is decided by the Stewards, depending on the severity of the incident and the amount of drivers affected.
Actions that can be penalized include (these are not all of the actions that can be penalized):
Note: To serve a drive through penalty, the driver must go into the pits at the end of the first lap, without changing tires, refueling, or repairing the car.
This list does not cover all offenses that can be penalized. It is up to the Stewards whether an incident is penalized or not.

If a major incident occurs on track during the race, the Full Course Caution will be used. This procedure consists of the entire field lining up behind the race leader and driving at a reduced speed until the Race Director signals for the green flag.
Each circuit is assigned a Restart Zone, which is an area of the track in which a race can be restarted, with the leader deciding when to accelerate.
If a driver is involved in an incident and believes an FCC is necessary, he/she must type “VD” (which stands for vehicle damage) in the in-game chat. If multiple drivers send this message and/or show to have significant car damage, and/or the race director deems it necessary to call for an FCC, he will do so by typing “FCC” (standing for Full Course Caution) in the in-game chat. The race leader must then slow down to a maximum speed of 80mph/128kmh and allow the field to form up behind him/her. When the Race Director calls for the FCC to end, all drivers will continue driving in a line until they reach the circuit's Restart Zone, where the leader will choose when to accelerate. Overtaking is not allowed until the timing line is crossed.
The pitlane remains open for fuel, tire and/or repair pitstops during an FCC period.
If a driver drops down the order during an FCC period, be it for a spin, crash or another reason, they cannot return to their own position.
Drivers must maintain a minimum distance of one and a half (1.5) car lengths between each other.

Each circuit is assigned a Restart Zone, which is an area of the track in which a race can be restarted, with the leader deciding when to accelerate.
The in-game grid start option will be used, with the drivers driving in a single file for one lap, in the same way as in a Full Course Caution, following the leader. Once that lap is concluded, the green flag waves and the race begins. Each circuit is assigned a Restart Zone, and the leader can choose to speed up at any moment inside this Zone. Overtaking is not allowed until the timing line is crossed.
Drivers are only allowed to make a pitstop at the end of the Formation Lap to repair car damage. Pitstops for fuel and/or tires during the Formation Lap are not allowed.
The maximum speed allowed in the Formation Lap is 80mph/128kmh.
If a driver drops down the order during an FL period, be it for a spin, crash or another reason, they cannot return to their own position.

If a server disconnect occurs, drivers and staff will attempt to restart the race in the running order before the disconnect to complete the remaining laps. The red flag restart begins with one lap under Formation Lap conditions. After that lap, the remaining laps are raced.
