This is a championship series based around 1990s GT racing cars that raced worldwide, with a globe-trotting calendar to match. Setups will be open and the weather and time of day will be an added challenge. All races will be an hour in length allowing for a test of endurance.
​
Calendar
TPC GT Calendar.png


The lobby opens for free practice at 16:30 EST for all events. The lobby time of day is then reset at 17:00 EST for qualifying, which will last for exactly 10 minutes. The race will begin immediately after qualifying under the same conditions. If you need to adapt your setup to changing weather conditions, do it during qualifying.

The Spa-Francorchamps event will not count toward the championship and is not required for people to participate in, it will be a separate 90-minute endurance race with slightly different regulations and setups. A separate race thread will be created for that event to allow others to participate.

The calendar is subject to change if I have any career or life events that interfere, but everyone will receive adequate warning ahead of time. Gaps in the calendar will allow us to push events forward or back one week if necessary.

The best 7 results will be counted toward the Drivers' Championship, allowing people to miss at least one race if necessary. Teams' and Manufacturers' Championships will score all events. All entries will be scored in the Teams' Championship, while only the highest-scoring entry for each manufacturer will score in the Manufacturers' Championship points.

Not sure I'll be able to make the January rounds, definitely won't make Nurburgring GP but should be good for the others.

Test lobby is open tonight for a few hours, will be using Catalunya National Layout for testing purposes.

Plan to have another test lobby tomorrow at an earlier time.

Remember, lobby is friends only, so please make sure you add me.
 
Thanks for the practice session on 2 completely different tracks. I could see where the vet stands now. My setup is adout the same as the endurance event. If I can find more pace, that would help to closer to the front. I don't know what the other guys had for setup, but the gap was way more than I expected. The vet needs some more straight line speed. Has any testing been done to close up the BOP?
 
When I personally tested all five cars they were within a second of each other, on multiple tracks. Some cars are going to be better at some tracks by default because of how they are laid out, but they should all be capable of similar numbers.

Double check your power and weight are still correct as well. In fact I added weight to the Porsche so it should be slower now.
