Race Clean, Race Hard


Standard Clean OLR Rules:

• All GTP members in the race lobby are still required to follow the Acceptable Usage Policy and conduct themselves in the same manner as posting on the forum.
• All Hard Surfaces are considered Track Surface. This includes tarmac, red and white rumbles, and concrete. You are expected to drive clean at all times as if you are racing in the Weekly Race Series. All participants are required to follow the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules & Guidelines. Do take the time to read it as all participants will be held accountable for their actions.
• Race Stewards reserve the right to boot any driver from the Race Room for driving offensively. If you ignore any warnings from the Race Steward and are booted from the race room, you will receive 1 Infraction Point which will get logged at the GTP_Registry Disciplinary Log. Three strikes are you are banned from the GTP_Registry.

Why Use GMT?:

GMT is World Time and the basis of every world time zone which sets the time of day and is at the centre of the time zone map. GMT sets current time or official time around the globe. Most time changes are measured by GMT. Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.

• You can also view is a visual layout displaying the different time zones here.

Race Incident Reporting:

The Race Stewards will save each and every race. However any disputes between drivers must be dealt with via PM. If a resolution is not found, then PM the Race Steward who hosted the event.

All complaints relating to a racing incident must follow this procedure:

1. Contact the driver concerned privately (GTP_PM or PSN_PM)

Dumb question. Why are you not allowed to tune the car before the race? What if i want to practices with the car a couple days before race day? Or did i read the rules wrong?

[Vezella22]

Thank you very much! I'll give it a try.

Cheers

You are welcome to try out the combo of course, we want the series to be a competition on driving skill, not tuning ability. But I posted the race specifics early so practice up

Hi Jerome.

Vezella22

Thank you very much! I'll give it a try.

Cheers

I see you are a new member Vezella. In order for you to compete in the OMRS, you will need to get entered into the GTP_Registry which the details can be found here. You will need to use your GTP_Account to race with, better get on it!


Thanks for your support GTP_Eriba Phillip, sorry still getting everyone's names right

Jerome

[Captain Roh]

Softs!? Light damage!? Bahh!!

M3 brute force is best experienced on hards. However thats just my opinion. I guess other people may be able to race better on softs. Either way, I'll be there

[Jump_Ace]

You are welcome to use any Sports tire compound

But I was on the fence about using a different compound for the next event and you just convinced me, haha.

Jerome

[Captain Roh]

Umm.. glad to help lol

I'll go buy my M3 right now complete with BTCC colours!


Bagsy Laurence Bristow's Labatts liveried motor Blue/gold

[Jump_Ace]

You know I have to be honest, I never thought much of painting a car nor cared for the color (except yellow, I love using yellow in LAN racing for some reason) but it's really fun especially when I have over 1,000 to choose from. I'll paint my M3 before race day.

Jerome

[Supra_Skills]

I can't wait!!!

[BlacqueJacques]

I'll try and be on track Saturday

The car used for this race is available for purchase in the New Car Dealership Under The Acura Manufacturer.

!

[Jump_Ace]

/\ Thanks for that

Jerome

[Sureboss]

Sounds good, have to make sure I'm around.

[Crispy74]

I'm definitely going to be joining in this month after completely missing last months races

Not sure what livery I'll be sporting as yet though...do we get extra points for having an absolute abomination of a paint job that others may find visually offensive? If so I have the perfect colours...anyone that saw my poor Swift will vouch that when it matters, I have really horrific taste!

[pyxen]

Hopefully I can make Small_Fryz's race. I'd be interested

[Supra_Skills]

Are we allowed to purchase different wheels for the car from GT auto?

You will be rewarded much respect for such paint jobs. Maybe whoever has the most offensive paint job can pick the next track to use next month

Sure, knock yourself out

I will try to make this, have my little boy for the day and it varies what time he leaves. I hope to make it but if not will try to make the next one.
