Practice on Tuesday, Race on Thursday!

The Cars
As of right now, there are 6 cars that I have tested that are close in PP. The limit will be at 501pp, and all of these cars are under that. However, from what I have gathered, they are still very close. Included in the list are the power figures and what upgrades each car has been tested with. All of these cars are relatively inexpensive, and I encourage you to try as many as you can. Once the series starts, you will have to remain in your chosen brand and car for the entire season. Racing Hards only.The Cars

Race Format
We will follow two race formats in this series.
For nights with 2 races:
- Room opens around 11:15pm EST (USA) for practice/tuning.
- Qualifying for race #1 begins at 11:30. Everyone will be on track together for 10 minutes.
- Race #1 starts immediately after qualifying. Race will be 20 - 30 minutes, no mandatory pit stops.
- After race #1, there will be a 10 minute break where you will be allowed to fine tune your vehicle.
- Race #2 will then begin. The starting grid will be in the reverse order of the first race results. Race distance will be the distance of race #1, plus 1 lap.
- Room opens at 11:15pm EST for practice.
- Qualifying will begin at 11:30, same as above.
- The race will start immediately after qualifying. 1 mandatory pit stop will be required. Race will be between 45 - 60 minutes.
_________________________________________________________________
Schedule
Below is the official schedule. Races with one round listed will be endurance races. All other races will follow the two race format. The first race on here will be on February 27th.Schedule
*The race of Apricot Hill will be rerun the week before Bathurst, due to major network issues from the first time we tried to run it.
The calender will be as follows:
Be comfortable driving any course with a time change in both day time AND pitch blackness (these courses are Apricot Hill, Nurburgring, and Bathurst). On tracks where night driving is possible, there will be a mix of day and night racing.

4th – 13 pts.
5th – 12 pts.
6th – 11 pts.

Season end points will be made up of your best 10 of 15 races. Points from the final in Bathurst will NOT be dropped.
Year End Prizes
In series past, we have given prize cars to the top three in final points. However, in GT6, it seems as though the ability to share cars and other things has gone away. This may change in a future update, but there doesn't appear to be anything for that at the moment.
____________________________________________________________
Racing Etiquette
A good guide line to always follow is the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules. To be direct, race smart and race clean. All drivers will be expected to keep two wheels on the track at all times. This certainly includes overtaking. But hey, we're all racers. We know that accidents can happen, even to the best racers. If you feel like you cut the track to make a pass, or rammed into someone to gain a position, you will be expected to give the position back. If you feel there was an incident that should be reviewed, let me know through a private massage with the lap number (and if you can provide the corner, that would also help), and the incident will be reviewed. Point penalties may result.
On Track Penalties
Certain tracks may have penalties on. In these cases, if you do go off track and a penalty does not go off (which can happen), then it is a legal move. If it is for a position, these situations can always be reviewed.
Lapped drivers, or drivers about to lose a lap to the leader are expected to give way to lead drivers in the safest way possible. It is also the responsibility of the lead driver to complete the pass in the safest way possible.
