senses, be on the lookout for flashing beams of white light

________________________________________ ______________________________________

NA Super GT Season Qualifying Process

Determining who gets in to race will not be decided through a 'first-come-first-serve'
basis. Entrants must submit a Time Trial lap. Rules below

Time Trial Qualifying

Drivers must submit an 'Official' qualifying lap by posting it here inside the thread.
You can do this by attaching your replay file on your post.

For Example:

Player 1
Hello everyone! Here is my 'Official' Qualifying Lap Replay Submission

PSN: GTP_Player1
Class: GT300
Lap Time: 1'45.983

Open for review and validation, file below:
*Replay file attached here = OR = Youtube video embedded here*

Anyone of the entrants can review and confirm your lap's validity. Deadline for submitting is
11:59PM PST (GMT-8) Wednesday of the current race week. You can only submit once!
Declare that it is your official lap when you post it!

Rules

Run in Practice Mode! (Clutch prohibited for G25/G27 users)
Use soft Racing Tires, keep the car stock!
2 wheels on (or vertically in line with) the track at all times
Rumble/Ripple strips are part of the track
The green painted concrete next to the rumbles is not part of the track
Runoff areas are not part of the track
No contact with walls or object, visible or invisibile
If you're not 100% sure that your lap is clean, then consider it dirty
Otherwise, if confirmed dirty, a 5 second penalty will be imposed on your lap
You can only submit/post your lap once, make it count!
Feel free to discuss your lap times in the thread

Once the times are confirmed, a list will be posted the next day. There will be 32 drivers in total.
Since we can't race with 32 drivers at the same time, we will split it into to divisions, so there
will be two races per week. 16 drivers in Division 1 and 16 drivers in Division 2.

________________________________________ ______________________________________

How to Save, Copy, and Post your Replay

After your free run in Practice Mode, Select "Save Ghost Replay"
Exit and go to Replay Theater Mode
Select Ghost Replay (Best Lap Replay) and Press Triangle
Select "Export to Save Data"
Exit Game and Plug in a remote storage (Flash/Thumb Drive)
Select Save Data utility and Copy the Replay File to your Flash/Thumb Drive
Copy Replay from Flash/Thumb Drive to your PC
Select Replay File, Right click, and Compress to a folder (You need winRar for this, its a free DL)
Go to "WSGTC" Thread and post a reply with your replay file attached
Drink your coffee and look out your window. Bask in your own Glory!
Wait for someone to confirm that its clean and valid
Alternative - Upload a video of your lap on YouTube and post it here! (Use chase Cam!)

________________________________________ ______________________________________

Setting Grid Positions on Race Day

To stay true to the qualifying speeds, we will run 1 parade lap. After the
race countdown reaches zero, DO NOT MOVE! Hold your positions. Remember your
spot in the qualifying results as well as the person above you and behind you.
Follow the steps below!

Stewards will wear Mics to organize the chaos, in case the mics don't work, follow below..

Do not move when race countdown reaches zero!
Remember your Grid Spot! Remember the names of the person infront and behind you beforehand!
Pole sitter will make his way to the front.
Pole sitter will go ahead and lead the field maintaining a slow pace
One by one, fall in line on your predetermined grid spots.
Pole sitter will lead the whole field the whole lap at 35-55PMH
Field will approach grid markings before making a full lap
Pole sitter will take his spot - P1 INSIDE LANE
Next fastest qualifier - P2 OUTSIDE LANE
Everyone will take their positions one by one, Hold your Positions!
Look at the clock at the Top Right Corner of the Screen saying "Total Time"
Green Flag will be at 5:00'00 exactly! (May depend on track)
Again, when clock hits 5:00'00 its go time! Green flag! Everyman for himself!

________________________________________ _______________________________________

Raceday

There will be 2 races held based on qualifying times on each Race day
Top 8 speeds on each class will be in Division 1 race
Next 8 speeds on each class will be in Division 2 race
So there will be 16 cars for each races making a full divided grid of 32

Division 1 Race

Top 8 Speeds - GT500
Top 8 Speeds - GT300

Division 2 Race

9 - 16 Speeds - GT500
9 - 16 Speeds - GT300

Race 1 and Race 2 will be hosted in the open lobbies. Qualified drivers will be sent a
invited to access the room. Until further notice, only Masi_23 (GTP_Masicampo) will host the
races, otherwise, both races can be held simultaneously with 2 hosts. Volunteers, welcome.

Any driver who pulls out from Division 1 will be replaced by someone from Division 2. Cut off for
replacements will be 2 hours before actual race time. Anyone who pulls out further down the
speed chart (Div 2) will be replaced by someone from the waiting list. Otherwise, if any Division 1
race was held without a full grid, official results from Division 2 will move up depending on the
number of empty spots in Division 1

Note

A replay of the whole race will be saved and reviewed by race stewards!
Incidents must be reported 24 hours after the race. Appropriate penalties will be applied
and announced along with the official results.

am i too late?

Masi_23 · Dec 22, 2010

Both are in.

Your Quali Lap replays should be submitted to me via PM.

Wardez · Dec 22, 2010

Hey I think I've got a good system we can use. It involves making a check and balance system.

There's two models. Pretty much the system involves giving or taking away a certain amount of "infraction points" or "IPs"

So, first model, you do something stupid on track. The stewards judge the infractor by watching the replays and give him an IP point. Say, just for an example, we set it so that if you get something like 6 points at any point in the season you either lose championship points, get disqualified for a race, whatever seems to work best. Getting 12 points will be bad enough for disqualification or something major. Everyone starts with zero.

Second model is something more in line with the idea of checks and balances.

So everyone starts out with like 10 points, for example. If you do something bad, you gain points, but if you have a whole race without hitting anyone or having any major contact with other racers you take points off. Have ten good races without much incident and you will have the best possible reputation, which is zero.
If you get too many points, maybe 20? You get penalized. Maybe something like at 15 points you get a slap on the wrist penalty (time penalty or a delayed start or something) and 20 points will disqualify you from the next race.

This system would be a deterrent to try and keep guys serious about staying well in the league.

Let me know guys so we can discuss!

I like both ideas but the second one, Rep counter, will be implemented right away

Ok lol how do u send a save replay?

Hi Masi,

Can you give us a brief guide how to do this for us with more average PS3 skills.

We are supposed to do our qual lap in practice mode. When I have a qual lap I'm happy with, do a save it as "save replay" or "save fastest lap as ghost"?

With the qual lap saved on the PS3, how do I get it to you as a PM in this forum from my computer?

I probably just missed something but I might not only be me who doesn't know how to do this.

Btw, I saw in the latest GT5 update we can now set the time the race finish. Before it was 20 sec after the winner, but now it can be extended. Great improvement, so now the GT300 cars can race to the finsh line.

Cheers

AesopF1 · Dec 22, 2010

Just go your message, I am certainly in. How do I send you my replay file? Will be using the Taka Dome NSX( just bought it the other day actually) on a Logitech G25.

Paggydaggy · Dec 22, 2010

I'm in too.

GTP_PaggyDaggy
Yellowhat GT-R 08'
DENMARK
G25 or DS3.

But the laptime, do you want the replay file so you can watch it on your PS3 or do you want a recorded video?

dantedani36 · Dec 22, 2010

Replay File:

step 1: Save the replay/ghost replay

step 2: Go to replay teather in GT-Mode

step 3: Choose your qual replay and choose the option export replay file (or was it data file)

step 4: Exit GT5

step 5: Go to your saved data folder and copy the saved replay to memorystick for example

step 6: Put the memory stick in your PC and find the replay folder

step 7: copy the replay folder to PC

step 8: Now click on the folder with right mouse button and choose compress folder (I think it's called that, I have a Finnish Windows so..) anyway, RAR the folder

step 9: Send the compressed replay folder to Masi

DONE!

Masi_23 · Dec 22, 2010

Ok sorry guys... Ill have a step by step instruction about the qualy/replay thing in a few minutes.

Edit: owp, dante beat me to it

Although he forgot something. Its the ghost replay you must save and copy, not just the replay. This way you only get the fastest lap, not the whole practice session itself.

Ill have to put this in post 1.

Baker-36 · Dec 22, 2010

Hlazor · Dec 22, 2010

Masi_23 · Dec 22, 2010

Next Preseason race is Cote d' Azur (Monaco), so you need a quali lap from, well... Cote d' Azur

Masi_23 · Dec 22, 2010

Posted a step by step instruction about sending replay on Post 2.

Also posted up a Poll, just for fun

Dragonistic · Dec 22, 2010

Quick question, is there a reason why I'm not on the list of entrants? I don't mean to be impatient, just clarifying

Masi_23 · Dec 22, 2010

ah... sorry, i must've missed you.

Can you post your specifics again if you don't mind?

Masi_23 · Dec 23, 2010

Update:

Prize for the winner from both classes (GT500/GT300) of Winter Testing Race 2 will be the Ferrari F10

Note: This will only apply if we get at least a minimum of 14 cars on the grid on Division 1.

Paggydaggy · Dec 23, 2010

When was the first race on Fuji held?

filphil89 · Dec 23, 2010

I've got to put a hold on this series. Put me on the pending list and have another lucky guy go in for GT500.
