Submission And Participation:
When you have verified your lap is clean and the best you can do, visit http://frs.atspace.co.uk/submit.
Fill out each field and click Submit at the bottom to complete the process.
This week's time needs to be submitted before May 14th by 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time. This is GMT -8 or -7 depending on daylight savings time.
If you encounter any issues with the submission form or process, please send a PM to Terronium-12 or Jump_Ace.
Feel free to post your best times in this thread. You can compare how you stack up with other participants throughout the week by visiting the FRS Weekly Splits Leaderboard (which can be found here: http://frs.forzaplanet.net). Also note the following:
- You can submit only ONCE (be sure to give it your best effort)
- Please give it your best effort as sandbagging is highly frowned upon in the Forza Planet community.
Please refer to this Time Calculator Website to properly add multiple times together (when necessary) before submitting your time.
This is a friendly competition open to drivers of all abilities, so start racing and we'll see you in the results
👍FRS Point System:
We have compiled a point system for the FRS organized by division:
Below are some key points on how it works:
- Divisional Points are as follows:
1st Place - 8 points
2nd Place - 7 points
3rd Place - 6 points
4th Place - 5 points
5th Place - 4 points
Participation - 2 points - You get 1 point just for submitting the qualifier run and 2 points just for submitting a time for that week. The better you place for that week, the more points you will receive.
- Your points will get reset back get 5 points total for being promoted to a higher division.
- The points will reset every 4 months, completing a 'season'.
- Once a season ends, the point system will reset back to week 1 using the following week's FRS combo.
Time Verification:
SPECIAL NOTE: When running your qualifier time. Please restart your session every 15 or sooner (10 to 12 laps depending on the track). FM4 will stop recording your replay after (roughly) 15 minutes. Thus, if you run your best lap after it stops recording, it won't count as you can't provide the replay.
Save your replay and keep it at least 6 weeks after submission:
- Top 1-3 fastest times from each division will be required to submit a replay for verification
- Any submitted time is subject to a time verification request
- When a time verification has been requested, the concerned racer must provide a replay within 3 days
- Failure to do so will result in the submitted time being ignored for official registration
- Video replays are not accepted (i.e. using camera phone, camcorders, etc.)
Submitting And Verifying A Requested Replay:
If a request is made for you to supply a replay, look in the results thread for a "(Replay Required)" to appear next to your name and submitted time. You may also get a PM if a replay hasn't been promptly provided.
Many hands make little work and if you can assist the Race Stewards in verifying each others lap times, it won't go unappreciated. Follow The Guide To Managing FM4 Replays to verify another drivers submitted time.
Remember to mark whether the replay was valid or not in the results thread:
The code to insert a flag is. Remember to wrap them in an Image Tag;

Race Stewards Comments:
This is stage 1 of a regional elimination, best in class (Class A) tournament.
The car that gets the most submissions for the week ('Vette or Viper), wins this round. Then that car advances to round 2 to face the winner from the European regional champion. That round will happen in the next couple weeks.
You can choose to drive the that is car is faster (in your opinion) to build up your FRS Series Points, or you can drive car that is the most fun that you would love to get behind the wheel again in later stages.
Feel free to share which car you will be submitting for your time, if you want.
Pick your poison and Good Luck!
Here is an overview for the Best In Class (Class A) Tournament:
USA:
'Vette vs. Viper
Europe:
Car A vs Car B
Japan:
Car A vs Car B
Wild Card Car:
Car A vs Car B
Then we do elimination -
USA vs Europe
Japan vs Wild Card Car
USA/Europe Champ Vs Japan/Wild Car Champ - To Crown Our Class A Best In Class Car
Remember to keep at least two tires on the rumble strip and/or within the white lines on the tarmac. Taking a turn too fast that causes you to go into a run-off, dirt, sand, etc. will invalidate your lap.

) about how the Z06 sounds, it's crazy cool. Reminds me of an MX-5 in a way with the..... ticking sound, I guess, at mid to high revs. That's not the best word for it, idk.
