Wow. When i came back to see how things was going I was surprised that I am still on the drivers list.
But, Due to the fact that I am now working a full time job that requires me to close shop almost everyday I will not be returning to the League. The job along with a change of interest to playing guitar and online pc games was the main reasons. This extends to not only the Enduro but also to the Flex, F1, and Nurb league. I will also be selling off my G25 since the only reason i bought it was for the league and turns out I suck at the wheel XD. Better on the controller.
Anyhow just wanted to drop by and let y'all know so that I am not taking up a color combo and number that someone else could use more then me. Hope everyone past, present and in the future enjoy the league. I know I did

I can't find a copper paint color. If you send me one I can dup it and send you 5 at a time. It would take a few days to do.

Kinda curious myself. What is the name of this copper paint chip? 2,488 paint chips and I didn't find one with "Copper" in the name. Couple of Coopers, but no copper.

Special Class Race: Tokyo R246 / Reverse
Car: Toyota 86 GT '12 | Scion FR-S '12 | Subaru BRZ S '12
Laps: 43
Tires: Sport Mediums
Date: May 4, 2013
Prize: Nissan GT-R SpecV (GT Academy Version) '09 0/0/0
Rules
You are expected to follow The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.
"Rubbin"
This is a non-contact sport. Let me put it another way, if you are "rubbin", you ain't racing in this league! We will not tolerate individual drivers taking the fun out of racing for everyone.
First Turn
You are not going to win the race on the 1st turn or the 1st lap. Therefore, it is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1. Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. You must hold your position through the 1st turn and make no attempt to advance it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. Other drivers may draft past you before the approach to turn 1 if it can be done incident free. In other words, if you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn you may. This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to take advantage of other drivers doing their part to keep turn 1 incident free. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.
Dive Bombing
Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in accidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry, so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass him on the low side.
Procedures
Division 1 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division1 lounge
Division 2 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division2 lounge
Division 3 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division3 lounge
Connection Issues
Please follow the procedures below to help minimize connection issues.
Step 1: Reboot your modem/router
Step 2: Reboot your PS3
Step 3: Clear your GT5 in game System Cache
Pit Stops
Drivers need to be very careful entering the race track when exiting the pit. Please look at your map to see if other drivers are near the pit exit. Drivers exiting the pit need to stay in the pit exit lane until the track is clear of cars on the track. Cars on the track have the right of way.
Quitting
Drivers are expected to finish races no matter what position they are in. Rage quitting is frowned upon!
Microphones
Although you are welcome to use microphones during the race, they should only be used to communicate your proximity to other drivers in order to avoid an incident. Otherwise, either mute them or make sure any background noise in non-existent.
Reminders
Hold your position and do not attempt advance it in turn 1 of lap 1
If you go off track make sure the track is clear before you re-enter
If you cause an accident you must wait and give the position back
Race Incidents
Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.
Final Note
Race Clean and Have Fun!

Check the vettes and the Lexus in the ncd. Seems like I saw a copper type color offered on one of those two. The vettes have metallic colors

Nothing with copper in the name in either of those.
Went here and the only found two with the word copper in them. Both off Mazdas that, according to this list, can be found in the NCD. Gonna go have a look at them shortly. Copper Red Mica is the name and it ain't copper colored.

Ok. Found a Copperhead Orange in this list and have confirmed it's available from the Dodge SRT10 Coupe '06 in the NCD.
It's almost a copper color. Since I was an electrician for over 25 years I feel well qualified to assess this particular hue's real life comparison. Hope this is the one you're looking for. Already burned my paint sends for the day so will probably buy this car and start duping the chip tomorrow. Want to try it on the wheels with my Sapphire Blue Pearl cars and see if I like it.
Update: Bought the car but no paint chip was acquired. 👎

Fun race last night having everyone in 1 room 👍. To bad Juan got disconnected somewhere around lap 30 👎. He was running a good race, had a good battle with him early 👍. Also to bad to Garage-father. I think we have all run out of fuel and I know how it feels. It's happened to me more that once, twice in one race in fact when I was in second place(Subaru TC at Grand Valley).
