So I've wanted to do another car scavenger hunt now since it's been several years since we last gave it a go and because it was a ton of fun last time we did it. Participation sort of waned a little bit towards the end, so I figured in order to keep interest up I'd offer up some prizes.
How Does it Work?
We will be using a 2017 Golf R MKVII 5-Door for our unit of currency, also know an GAP (Golf Adjusted Price).
1 GAP =
In USD: $39,375
In GBP: £32,965
In EUR: 40,675€ (price based on German Golf R)
In AUS: $58,522
In JPY: ¥5,499,000
In HKD: HK$328,740
If we have members join from other countries not listed, we can do some adjusting. For countries that never got the Golf R (I couldn't find any) we will convert all 6 listed currencies into the member's native currency and take an average of that number.
Final Stuff:
This isn't associated with GTP in any way and is unofficial. Prizes are considered gifts.
How Does it Work?
- 5 categories plus one bonus will be released every week on Sunday and the competition will run until the follow Sunday at 23:59 GMT.
- Categories will be picked by the winner of the two weeks prior winner (so Week 3 would be picked by Week 1's winner).
- During the week you will have to find vehicles that match the categories and post a picture in this thread.
- 1 point will be given for each category a member wins and everyone who completes the bonus will earn a point. In the event of a tie for a category, each member that tied will be given a point.
- Categories must be objective, not subjective.
- Categories that rely on the finding the most expensive car will use @Famine GAP formula (albeit updated for modern day). For used models we will use the price when new.
- Categories that rely on power output will have a vehicle rated at the lowest output engine by the manufacture unless the photo specifically show a model in which a bigger engine is present
- Example: If you are tasked with finding the most powerful red car you can't take a picture of a BMW 3 series and say it's an M3 unless there is a way to show it's an M3
- Categories that rely on distance will be determined from a state, territory, country's capital city unless otherwise proven different
- Example: Find the car with a license plate that's traveled the longest to be in your present location. So if I found a car from Michigan, I'd calculate the distance from Lansing, MI to SLC, UT.
- Categories that rely on color will use the basic color palate unless the categories specifically say you need to find a vehicle in X color from a given manufacturer.
- Example: Plum Crazy on a Dodge Challenger is just purple.
- Categories that require you to find/park next to the same make/model of your personal vehicle are allowed, if a member doesn't have a car they can also use their motorcycle or bicycle. We will also allow parent's cars if you drive them regularly. A standard can of beans will be required though if we think your car is questionable.
- If you are found to be cheating, it is an immediate disqualification and ejection from the competition.
- If proof is asked about when a photo was taken, the burden of proof is on you, the member. If proof can't be shown, that entry will be disqualified
- You can change your entry anytime up until the cutoff date and time.
- You can not use your own vehicle as an entry.
- Please remember GTP is a global site, pick categories that can be obtainable by anyone.
- The competition will start Sunday July 2nd and run through the summer until September 24th. That's 12 weeks.
- From not until July 2nd, we will do a pre-season of sorts to work out any kinks.
- First place will be gifted a copy of the GTPedia & GT6 Player's Guide Bundle (e-book) plus a year's worth of Premium Membership
- Second place will be gifted a copy of the GTPedia & GT6 Player's Guide Bundle (e-book)
- Third place will be gifted GTPedia (e-book)
