Driving Regulations / Lobby Settings

Transmission (AT/MT): Optional
Active Steering: Off
ASM: Optional
TCS: Optional
SRF: Off
ABS: Optional

Grip Reduction: Real
Mechanical Damage: Heavy
Penalty: Off

Rules / Penalties

Simply put, use your common sense when racing. Avoid contact as much as possible. GTP OLR Rules apply here. I would however, like to omit one rule:
4D

If you are caught cheating, you will be punished accordingly. Depending on the severity of the misconduct, 1 to 15 seconds will be added to your time as a penalty. Continuous cheating will result in you getting kicked from the championship. Racers may PRIVATELY report to me about any cheating.

NOTE: Only when you damage somebody's car, does it count as a hit, and therefore you WILL be given a penalty.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Racing Schedule

All races are on Saturdays! Lobbies open at 4:00PM Pacific Standard Time. Qualification rounds start at 4:15PM and will end depending on the length of the track. Races start at 4:30 PST and end at around 5:30 PST. The races themeslves should be around 45 minutes long.

Pre-Season Race (July 2): Nurburgring GP/D - 20 Laps
Race 1 (July 9): Suzuka Circuit - 18 Laps
Race 2 (July 16): Nurburgring GP/F - 20 Laps
Race 3 (August 6): Laguna Seca - 28 Laps
Race 4 (August 20): Cote d'Azur - 26 Laps
Race 5 (August 27) : Nurburgring 24H - 6 Laps

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In The Lobby

As usual, all drivers are expected to treat each other with respect. No mics will be allowed at any times, so it is recommended that you have your wireless keypad for quick typing. Drivers are not to enter the track until they receive permission from the race steward (me).

Drivers are also to return to the pits prior to the start of a race. This reduces lag before the race.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Racing Configuration

1. Practice Rounds
Until the race beings, you may practice for a little while in the lobby.

2. Qualifying Race
This is a race that determines your starting position on the grid. The number of laps depend on the length of the track. If you are absent for qualifications, you will grid last.

3. Race
The first lap will be a parade lap where you can warm your tires up. Maximum speed is 120 km/h (~75 mph). The lead car will act as a pace car. Therefore, a 18 lap race for example will be 19 laps long. After the first lap, the race is on! There is one mandatory pit!

Should anyone get disconnected from the race, here are the procedures on what to do:
1. Drivers are to exit the race
2. When the person returns, we will begin the race again from the top! Therefore, if the race has been on for more than 10 minutes, you will have to miss the race, unfortunately.

Results

To clarify, being the heat winner does not mean that you will win the race. I will review the races myself afterwards and check for any misconduct. If you place 3rd or above overall, you will receive a prize.

The winner of the entire championship will receive a [CENSORED] ;).

Just curious, why no oil changes? At some point the cars will start losing power because of that.

Really? I'd imagine that breaking in the engines will increase the horsepower. Plus, if they do an oil change, the car might exceed 405 HP. That said, you are allowed to change the oil before/after each race.
 
Oh, well you're going to end up with the same power either way, so doesn't make any difference.

Morbo, you still haven't added me on PSN. Please do so ASAP.

Also, to all competitors, there is a possibility for a 45 minute delay due to personal reasons. I hope this hasn't caused any inconveniences for all of you.

Strange. How much HP did you start out with, before breaking the engine in?
 
If it was anything like my '08, it started at ~403 and then broke in above the BHP :(

Last I looked (worried about the race BHP restriction) I was around 409BHP. I have had to detune to meet the 405BHP/525PP.

Perhaps just go with a PP restriction based on your tune items rather than both?
 
Brand new 350Z with all mentioned mods and not many break in miles has 399 HP.

Still trying to tune out the last bit of understeer on the car.
 
Who else has HP over 405? I will raise the limit to 410 HP. I personally only have 397 HP.

I'll think about the limiter.
 
right now i have it engine limiter to 405hp and 525pp

if i go standard intake manifold instead of sports, and zero engine limiter, i get 398hp and 523pp

Would you mind doing that just for today? It's not gonna affect the results. I just need some time to think of a solution.
