GT2 Historics Sportscar Racing - SSR5 Clubman Reverse
 

Welcome another running of the Historic Sportscar Racing Series for the GT2 platform. This series is in its seventh season, and has been my favourite GT2 series. The cars are incredibly competitive and we have been lucky enough to have some of the best drivers, and closest competition around.

Many drivers in the past have chosen to drive multiple cars, with multiple nicks. Feel free to do so here, but just clearly mark what your ‘alter-nick’ will be so nobody is confused.

Perhaps GT4 will see the historic cars added again, and hopefully with an even greater selection

General Guidelines and Rules

We expect everybody to race cleanly, and within regular OLR guidelines. The series, including any protests or time inquiries is being run under granturismo.com race guidelines. If you are not familiar with these, please read the OLR FAQ at granturismo.com http://forum.granturismo.com/showth...?threadid=46235

Lack of knowledge of rules is not an excuse to break them.


While this is not a dex certified series, you should be prepared to defend your times with a detailed RTI (I'll give you a format), and in extreme cases, we might require some type of save. While I would like to believe that everybody is honest, a select few have proved me wrong. I generally run most of the cars at each track that is run, and have a pretty good idea of what is possible. I would not recommend trying to pull a fast one here, you will be spotted.

There will be random requests for a detailed RTI, or dex save. The placements of these random RTI will be determined before the start of each race.

I am looking for a couple of volunteers who are PAL users, who can check DEX saves, for those who prefer DEX over RTI.

Save your runs I would highly recommend that you always save your fastest runs, so that you can provide details later on.

You must have two wheels on something paved at all times. This includes the curbs, rumbles strips and the two paved sections on the inside of the curbs at Rome Night. For the purpose of this series, if you can see more than two wheels off the track from the above replay view, the time is invalid. ANY touch of any wall, guardrail, building.. regardless of how hard will rule a time invalid.

Please note that there has been some adjustment of the schedules, moving submission dates back to Mondays, Noon Eastern Standard Time, to allow those who only have internet access at work to submit from work after the weekend. Some of the tracks have been adjust as well, to ensure that both the cars that have great power, and those that handle well can be competitive.

This event is at SSR5 Clubman Reverse, that is the short track of SSR5.

Note: I've posted this for PSonefreak, as I haven't seen him here in the past couple of days. We need to get the show on the road, so here it is.

It is a normal part of the race discussion to talk about your Sector 2 times, that is the time the flashes on the screen as you go through sector 2. (The total of Sector 1 & 2)

As this championship is being run on 5 different sites, I'll try and reserve this space to update people on the times at other sites.

Sector 2 summaries

Playing around a bit with be Penske Camaro, and just clocked a 22.8 Sector 2 time. That was without the Performance Chip, and NA Tune 2, for 371hp. I will have to run a few more laps to see how much more there is in it.

Note: These changes in the Camaro are only for me, if you've chosen the Camaro, you do not need to detune it.

Hey GTP boys, where are you at?

I'm gearing up. One thing I like about GT3 over GT2 is ONLY ONE DISK!

I'm gathering up my cars and will be testing them out on the spot race. I don't expect a great time since I'll be spreading my racing to only a few laps per car to get a feel for them all. By the time I narrow down my cars, the deadline will be upon us.

i've been around... but not back to this because the spot race end wasn't until May 24.

How is everybody making out? Times due Monday at noon. Good Luck

A couple of hours left and I must say that there has been some close racing.

There are 12 submissions so far within half a second, now that's some close racing.

Yeah, my cars amounst themselves were very close. Now that I think about it I probably could have gone faster in my #2 car. I drove it first and didn't come back to it after all that practice.

Where's the other sites this challenge is posted? I'd like to see some of the conversation that goes on.
