Hello and Welcome to the first round of the D1GTP.

I know GT5P makes it harder for us drifters but hopefully you will have fun.
The system may change for next rounds if people want to.



Yes I took this shot

Round 1 SUZUKA

The course being used is the D1GP course, so reverse from Dunlop to S-Curve.
The judging criteria used is going to be exactly the same as the D1GP.

JUDGING:

Here is a video for details (I know it's in Japanese but it's quite clear, ask me any questions for further judging criteria):




The video clearly explains the lines you should take and the clipping points, I will also be looking for stylish switchbacks after turn 1 and dirt drops are good for style here as well.

Noise is also important, through turn 2 there must be a smooth sound, throttle blipping may reduce your chances of getting a perfect run, smooth sound.

One wheel on the inner curbs at turn 2 and 3 are necessary for a perfect run.


RULES:

Here is the course:



You must start from a standstill just before the Suzuka West section.

To get to the course don't go the normal way, drive in REVERSE to it as the camera angle for judging is much closer to the real thing.

You can run this event in either Suzuka RWD Expert and then Free Trial mode or Arcade Time Trial, but with Arcade you will have to use a stock car.

You may do as many runs as you want and pick the best one to enter.

Physics MUST be Professional.


CAR SPECIFICATIONS:

You may choose any car apart from Concepts and the F2007.

Drivetrain is up to you, if you wish to drift in a 4WD or FF car like some people do in the D1SL, Divisional and MSC in Japan then its fine, but same judging criteria applies.

Max tires S3.

Any other modification allowed.


SUBMISSIONS:

To submit you must film your run in two views from start to finish:

Normal Replay Cam

Roof Cam with HUD

You can then upload your video to youtube or vimeo and post it in this thread, then a subsequent for judging will be made where each person can judge the other entries.

All submissions must be posted by the 14th of November 2009 at 23.59 GMT.

If there are any details missing don't hesitate to ask. This is a learning curve for me aswell.

Remember, this is just for fun!

Mmmm, this might work pretty well, but since the vids are going to have to be uploaded to Youtube, we might as well make it a poll between drifters on who has the best run. This, I think, will make the judging much more fair, since it's a vote from a bunch of people, and not simply you.

PS. Loving the Team Orange picture

[articzap]

You either need more judges or a public poll. Maybe DK(rl9010) will help out with that. There are a lot of other knowledgeable people who can judge too.

[balang_479]

If each person entering judges each others videos based on the criteria shown thats fine. If you havent watched a D1GP round at Suzuka it would be good to do so, I think there are some on Youtube.

Made changes to original post.

What's the best way to capture the video? Just record it with a digital camera or something?

Yeah, unless you have a DVD recorder.

[articzap]

I use a capture card.

[white2abbit]

Anyone have any runs up yet?

[rofajole]

Ive got a couple done actually, I just didn't upload anything yet, and probably won't until like...next week or so

[articzap]

Won't submit anything till deadline.

[white2abbit]

I'm probably just retarted but was still confused as to where to go in the game.

Suzuka or Suzuka East? Still a little confused as to where you start also.

Drift mode? Arcade race? The event races make you have R3 tires, etc.

Online Suzuka RWD 550PP and then Free Trial or Arcade Time Trial at Suzuka.

If you look at the map of the track in the first post it shows you were you have to start and other instructions.

[Goracle]

so no online tandems or anything? Just replay judging?

[white2abbit]

^ pics of your 240?

Here's mine:

[balang_479]

are those 18s? I still dont know what size wheels I want to go with. I keep thinking that 17s will be better for track use but dont want to regret getting Works in 17, thinking that it would have been much better in 18s.

[articzap]

I had 17's on my 240 and would never go bigger.

[articzap]

Do we post runs here or PM them to you?

[balang_479]

Post em as every one is voting if they want, ill make another thread for voting and put them all together in one post.

[lildomplaya]

I'm down for this. =D

[articzap]

I'll wait till just a few minutes are up before deadline. ;-)
