i can join this league only if it's on sunday but i don't like assists such as TCS, Breaking Line, i think that only ABS should be permitted
 
Welcome to ther series everyone I have updated the OP with your Names in the drivers section.

Also I added some info to the qualification section of the OP as well as some new rules.

I will be keeping TCS and the Breaking Line as I want Amateurs,Beginers and Seasoned Racers to have fair and equal good racing experiance.
 
It is alright I will switch up into the Calsonic IMPUL welcome to the series
 
would love to join up if you will take me :) psn. midi458 car lexus sc430 red denso one sry cant remember number as im typin this through the ps3 :p
 
Ok Great I have the OP updated with the current drivers list. Welcome to the series.
 
Welcome to the Series I have updated the OP with the revised Drivers list.
 
I'll give it a try, I'll have to look at my cars and let you know which one I'll drive.

Question: you have a 502hp limit, but a lot of these Super GT 500 cars are a little more than that stock, are you expecting us to "detune" the cars to meet that limit?

psn: boshuter
car: TBD
 
Yes, I have been using the power limiter to keep my car in the HP range for the series. Welcome to the series.
 
I would like to give it a try.

PSN: RFLX_Niop
Car: #16 Castrol Mugen NSX '00
 
At this point I am going to have to say no. I would need to do some testing to see if they can keep up or if they will be too over powered.

I think I'll have to pass on this. I'm sure you have your reasons for changing the cars, but I like racing super gt cars as they are meant to be. Good luck with your series 👍
 
Thank you for taking in intrest in the series. But The cars aren't being changed they have to remain "stock" the settings can be changed ie suspension camber gearing etc. Due to the HP limit I set keeps all the cars with in an equal balance of each other.I also based the HP cap on the cars base HP when bought in the dealership and assumed most would do an oil cange on the car bringing most to 502HP.
 
I am actually looking for a weekend GT500 style race.

My PSNID is NotSoSilent
Car: Calsonic Impul GT-R '08

I understand where you are coming from, it's just that some Super GT500 cars can not make your rules, even stock and never having had an oil change. I have 3 that are over the 502HP limit and none have ever had the oil changed or any other mods done. The car I run would not make your weight limit, it weighs 1080kg and it is completely stock with no mods, oil changes or anything else. A Super GT500 car has a HP and weight for a reason, changing it to suit artificial rules is going to hurt some people and help others. As an example, most of them weigh 1100kg, but some will be 1150 or 1170kg, those will have slightly higher HP than the 1100kg car, forcing them to adhere to an artificial HP limit is basically going to kill that car from competing.

We are just finishing up a 6 week Super GT300 series on another forum and we considered trying some kind of HP and/or KG limit because there seemed to be a fairly wide spread of HP between the various cars; we found that it was better to just run them stock, it seems like the people who do the rules for the real cars were better at it than we were. :)

Anyway..... I do wish you luck with your season. I wish there were more SuperGT leagues to race in. 👍
 
Whoa! This is looking more like a GTR cup than a SuperGT series! I'm going with the Petronas Lexus, just to see how competitive it can be!
 
Ok Great welcome to the Series!!

As we have over eight drivers the Practice Session will take place on Sunday March 20th 2011 at 12:00pm EST 9:00am PST and 5:00pm GMT. The First Race in the series at Fuji Speedway on Sunday March 27th 2011. So if you haven't got your car choice nailed down March 20th is the deadline before the test session.
 
I have Updated the OP with Date and times of the test session and first race. Also I will be updating my Wall in GT5 with update info on race times etc as well as here... Now to get back to testing my car.
 
I have to change the date of the test session as I have a pror engagement on the 20th and won't be able to run all the races so we will have the test Session on Sunday March 13 2011.
 
Welcome to the series the OP has been updated with all the new information
