This challenge is based on my K4GP challenge I ran long time ago on GT4 forum so I thought about making another one here with enhanced rules and expanded list of cars.
In short terms, the idea is to run certain number of laps using one car from given class and try to keep your times as close to each other as possible. After all submission arrive, I will randomly pronounce target laps and penalty point per time (margin) which will go into valuation process. The smaller gap between the laps, the less penalty points you'll be given, thus increasing your chance for victory.
Run your laps on Arcade Disc - Time Trial mode. You can also run on Simulation Disc - Free Run mode but you will have to find an event that supports certain circuit and record your laps either by watching the replay or by writing them down manually while driving - because there is no Record option to see list of your laps as on Arcade Disc. While running the laps on the Arcade Disc, please turn off the ghost mode.
After I receive all submissions I will pronounce two target laps and distribute penalty points by dividing higher lap with lower lap. Here is the example how the system works:
Track: Apricot Hill Reverse
Target Laps: 2 & 3
Laps: 5
Cars: Any from 1990-1999
Power: Any
Tires: Any
Downforce: No
Specials: None
Honda Beat / Mazda RX-7
2 - 1'56.879 / 1'29.378
3 - 1'55.990 / 1'26.123
4 - 1'56.889 / 1'31.000
5 - 1'56.888 / 1'26.156
---------------------------
Diff: +0'00.889 / +0'03.255
Penalty points: 3 / 9
Margin: 1 point - 0'00.250 sec.
Even though Beat is much slower car it won the race because it collected less penalty points i.e. it was much more consistent between lap 2 and 3. The measure in this case was 1 point - 0'00.250. This will randomly change per tier but I can increase the range to get more competitive racing if necessary.
You can run the event for as long as you wish and then submit pack of laps but I can only accept subsequent order so do not mix laps. First lap does not count due to poor rolling start so use it as a warm-up lap. As long as the order is correct, assignation of target laps should be easy. Look at the example:
Target laps: 3 & 4
Lap 1 - no
Lap 25 - target lap 1
Lap 26 - target lap 2
Lap 27 - target lap 3
Lap 28 - target lap 4
(...)
Lap 37 - no
Above driver ran 37 laps and he decided that during the period from lap 25-28 he set the most consistent laps. Lap 27 and 28 would go into submission. Lap 1 does not count at all even if he wanted to take first set of laps.
You don't know what the target laps will be so make sure all your laps are as much equal as possible. Do not mix laps. Each round has three tires you have to complete. I will pronounce laps and results after I receive all submissions for tiers. You can join the event anytime but you will get slightly higher amount of penalty points in relation to the worst ranked driver.
Your submission should look like this:
Tier: z
Driver: your name
Car: full car name/power/weight
x lap: x'xx.xxx
y lap: y'yy.yyy
Send your submissions in private via Coversation option with appropriate headline so that I know which messages not to open before it is really necessary.
When you sign up please express whether you own Arcade Disc or not. It helps me plan the event in future.
Avoid hitting the walls and keep two wheels on a track (or rumble strip) at all time.
