CAR REGULATION CHANGES: Regulations have been updated for most GT300 class vehicles. These will be in place effective immediately.

PROCEDURE UPDATES: Pre race procedure has been slightly modified for the likelihood of having drivers not qualify for the race itself.

OUTLYING CONCERNS: I am aware of the GTPlanet Endurance Series and it having a couple scheduling conflicts with our series. If it is deemed necessary, driver substitutions will be made available to those with commitments to both series. As long as I am made aware of who is being substituted, as well as the substitute being up to par on the rules, it can be done. Also, I am very aware of the weather that is going on. While I will not postpone something because of weather, I am coming up with ways to alleviate any massive issues such as prolonged power outages (over 7 days). Again, thanks to everyone for participating thus far and I hope it continues.
 
I know a lot of things are going on this weekend, but please let me know on PSN if you are racing this weekend. It would be great getting everyone we can in before points start to matter.
 
i must say that iam amazed seeing that the supra has lost 10 bhp , thats A LOT in my opinion , i had a great setup and prepared myself for the race , maybe thats why the others couldnt follow me , in the start of the rase i had the BRZ up my rear for some time , and only untill it made a mistake , and i didnt make any mistake , unless 2 small ones , iam feeling this is a penalty too the supra and know its not competative enough , taking 10 bhp from it , is so wrong :boggled:

Before my internet crapped out, I kept up with you for about a lap, then you were gone. By the time I made I made my first mistake, you were already 10 seconds ahead in the span of about 5 laps. 10 hp is good.

I have just seen the first 6 laps off the race and could see you making small mistakes that offcource cost you some time and still you kept up with me , so i will have too disagree with you on that , but its very simple for me , does it stay as it is now i will simply have too withdraw , dont wanna use many hours on something i cant agree with , i would rather rather stay in the series i must say , but it has been fun the short while it lasted .......

I wouldn't say loosing around a second and a half a lap is "keeping up". I was in your draft for 2 or 3 very clean laps on both of our parts and you still pulled away form me like i was 30 horsepower down.

Actually, it's fine. It's a lot closer with the others in the GT300 class. This is meant to showcase driver ability, something that I haven't seen reflected accurately. It's also meant to be competitive for every race, something that wasn't reflected well at the most important venue in our calendar. The regulation changes weren't targetting anyone, half of the class got edited, and I feel that things are now as close as they'll ever be.
 
LE MANS RACE CONDITIONS: The Rolex 300km will run in a day to night transition. The race will start with 18:00 as the track time. The race is expected to last 2 hours in length if it goes uninterrupted. No rain will be applied.
 
To explain why there has been a persistent issue regarding car regulations in GT300, I am to blame indirectly for this. As limited on time as I am, I never tested every car within the same update until recently. So cars that were tested first ended up slower at the beginning. As time drew on, there was another update, folloed by a hotfix, and I had not gone through every car in those periods. Luckily, GT500 bore through with just minor adjustments which I finalized last week, but GT300 was still in disarray. I had most of the recent changes written down before Suzuka, including all of the cars currently registered to drivers. Two cars did not get finished until the day of the Suzuka test, being the silver Audi R8 LMS ultra and a car I eventually scrapped from the list altogether. None of the changes were targetting anyone as I had done all of them on a private account that no current drivers have access to. While I accept blame for this, I will not accept having people leave simply because their car is no longer a super magnificent almighty machine. If you feel like I have targeted you or that these changes 'ruined' your car, suck it up or leave. I've already escorted two drivers out of my series and I won't hesitate to boot more.

I think 1 was with me coming into the hairpin
 
Some things I'd like to address before Free Practice 1 tomorrow...
RACING ETIQUETTE: This should be a relatively easy one to understand, but plenty of people miss it like a bad pun. Don't go around beating on other cars. I understand door to door racing, I personally enjoy it. But don't force someone off the road or into a wall. That simple. In terms of blocking, you get one defensive move. No swerving across the whole track.
CAR SELECTION: As soon as FP1 starts tomorrow, all of the car selections currently listed will be locked in. From that point on, everyone can only make one car change and that is if they switch to the opposite class. Everyone's had ample time to evaluate options.
DRIVER RATING SYSTEM: I've been researching into this since I started this up, and so after Le Mans on Sunday I'll post driver ratings. There are four grades, perhaps the only four ever used; Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Drivers will be assessed based on miles run, sportsmanship, and caliber of driving. Finishing position and qualifying has absolutely no effect on this. It's primary function is to determine which drivers should be allowed into GT500 class and which drivers need to be in GT300.
SEASON 2 RACE DISTANCES: There has been a raised concern about how the race doesn't stop the field after the leader finishes the races in lap based events. This has been acknowledged and I am exploring time based distances for races outside of the Suzuka 1,000km. I'm open to hearing reasonable suggestions on this.
SUPPORT SERIES?: Recently, a couple of people asked me if I would have some sort of support series for the Super GT Series. While I would like to have something along the lines of a Suzuki Cappuccino race car series as a support, I personally am unable to be in anything that doesn't run on Sundays in the mid afternoon. If someone would like to start a support series under the VRR banner for the Super GT events, please let me know. I honestly don't find it necessary to have this until I know what type of attendance we'll get in Super GT. But that window is open for talks.
MAKE SURE YOUR CARS ARE READY: Please ensure that all of you have the correct number decals on your cars. GT500 have Option D, GT300 have option B. I'll be thoroughly checking to make sure everyone has the correct regulations on their cars.
Everyone have a nice afternoon.

You have me down in the silver Audi R8? If so, I'm good to go. Probably not racing this weekend though...

I don't think I have it updated on the OP, but on paper yes. I'll update that now. Thanks for the reminder.
 
CAR SELECTIONS: As of 6:00 p.m. EST, the car selections for the 19 registered drivers have been locked in. From this current point, those 19 drivers have only one class change for the season. Any new drivers will immediately fall into this rule.
FREE PRACTICE 1 OPEN: Free Practice 1 for the Rolex 300km is officially open.
