Rules:
GTP OLR Rules
  • Please familiarize yourself with these rules prior to the event.
  • You are expected to behave like sporting gentlemen at all times. Dirty driving is absolutely forbidden.
  • If you cause a contact, you must make contact concessions. ie: no bump-passing
  • Failure to make contact concessions will result in a post-race penalty concession. (ie: you will be placed below that racer in the results)
  • Caution must be exercised when re-entering the track after an off-road excursion caused by any reason.
  • Carless driving, recklessness, & aggressive risky maneuvers may result in post-race penalties, and will certainly result in your fellow racers being ill tempered.
  • Retaliation, "payback", & monkey-see-monkey-do rule flouting will not be tolerated.
  • The in-game penalty system is switched to off to prevent ghosting, with the understanding that GTPlanet racers do not need the in-game penalty system to follow posted track rules. Shorting the track is strictly prohibited, (must have 2 wheels on the tarmac)
  • In case of any incident involving a crash or rule violation, please review the replay before drawing conclusions. Note the time and location of the incident. Try dialogue with the other driver first with Private Messaging. You may report the incident via Private Messaging, with details, in a timely manner (ie: soon after the race), if warranted, so an appointed steward &/or the race director may review the incident.
Race will be hosted in the MCRC Lounge,
add PSN: MCRC_Lounge

Note: This account is just the club lounge account. It will rarely be signed on.
Get the FR in a.s.a.p. to assure acceptance in advance of racing.
In order to check the league lounge, you must click on the coffee cup,
and wait for the room content list to present.
No yellow people icon will show, even when the room is full.

Also please note that all club communication should be done through GTPlanet,
and not directed toward the PSN acct, as nobody checks messages there often, if at all.

Welcome!

I didn't see that it came in a gold! And I ran 2 practice area 1-make races to take some photomodes & try it out.
I wonder if anyone will go with the stock colour of Pale Rose Metallic Opal.
(Which looks rather like silver to me.)
 
I'l try to make this since I love the track. If it gets full then remove my name as I would say there's only about a 60% chance I can make it.

I think it does :scared: let me go check it.

EDIT: Yep, it's called Yellow Mica Metallic.

It looks like gold ;D

Maybe it's the Vitz?
Though I think the Vitz comes in the same colours as the Yaris. Not sure about that though.
To be honest, these are NOT favourite cars of mine. :lol:

BUT, test racing, even without yet an engine break-in... It was a nice ride @ Deep Forest. 👍

Not as terribly understeery as the Suzuki WAGON. :ill: :lol:
(Though not many cars, thankfully, are as understeery as that kei car. :boggled:)
 
But I'm going to use the Vitz since it's not 0/0/0. (It's 1/0/0 :P)

The Vitz is Silver, but I'm going to be painting it. Something shocking. ;D
 
I'll run Red with black wheels like my Fiesta.... Pity that the black with red outline wheels aren't available to standards..

CAR SPECS INFO

I'm using the Yaris.
It was a fresh prize car @ 0miles.
Did oil change and it went from 84hp to 88hp.
It now has about 180 miles on it.
Didn't need an engine refresh yet.
Did an oil change.
Now @: 91hp / 335pp

DECISION TO BE MADE ABOUT CONCRETE:

I don't care either way. So I'll go with the most popular choice. 👍 👍
2 wheels on TARMAC?
Or using the concrete completely like a part of the track?


My thinking is that maybe there's less incidents in that area if the track is "wider" and people use the concrete if they're going in there 2-wide.
However, my husband (bender2011/miata_1) claims that when people know they can use the concrete wholly, they tend to go into that part of the track "too hot" and wind up causing incidents in that general area and into the tunnel.
I have to say that from what I've witnessed, I can't argue with that point.

So I guess the question comes down to:
HOW "PROPER" DO WE WANT TO BE ABOUT THIS?

If you have a preference, let me know, if you have no preference, let me know that too. 👍

Again, I can easily race either way.
I generally watch the replays anyway, so policing it is neither here nor there to me... and I don't think anyone signing up for this is going to be even interested in trying to pull a fast one anyhow.

But I think this is something that should be clear sooner rather than later since it will effect lap times.

(My car at Knockhill race track :sly:...)

You keep rubbing that in everywhere. :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I would much be very interested in joining. I think I might already have this car, let me check.

EDIT: I can confirm that I own this car, so I might as well sign up.

No concrete would be fair for everyone, it will make passing in that section harder as well. Most people I met online on shuffle tend to dive bomb there or brake very late while going wide through the concrete, and when many cars around, it ain't pretty.

I nearly forgot about that concrete section. But who is going to watch so that people don't cut the corner? Anyone willing to help as a track marshal?
 
I will be joining, it's too much fun to not join. (fiancee have not yet approved but it's only wheel noise that is disturbing and i also have a ds3 ;) )

About the whole concrete thing, I vote for at least 2 wheels on asphalt. I trust people to do as they're told and if they don't someone will probably notice and be mad and complaining about it and that guy will probably not be racing with us again. :)
 
I'm 50% | 50% , because should be as a normal corner , soo only 2 wheels off or as that part of the road is a bit thin for many players allow to go through it.

You're a girl :dunce: ? I didn't know that. And for the concrete, I say ban it altogether because it wasn't there in GT3 and previous games. GT4 introduced the concrete, which was really a bad idea.
