GT5 National Karting Gold Cup


Our Mission
We'd like to introduce clean and competitive racing in an organized event. Simracing can be difficult and there's a big difference in running a hotlap and a 20 minute incident free race. This is racing and not bumper cars. Patience is required and the intelligence to successfully set up a pass is satisfying. Learn braking points, racing lines, leading, losing, drafting(bump drafting), and how to run in the pack. The skills you learn here will be a valuable asset to advancing your simracing career.

But don't beat yourself up! Remember mistakes happen and the most important part of all this is to have fun racing with others. :)

You're in, just simply add me on PSN Rsection8. Times are still to be determined. As soon as we get the numbers to race we'll give it a go.

Problems with Sunday Night Racing?

The website is still under construction but gives you an idea of what to look at.

I'm open to running an international league. I work a split shift most of the time and it's possible for me to do 11:00am PST which is probably 6 or 7 pm your time? If there's enough international racers I will host two leagues.. Start recruiting. :)

I'm in if the time works out for me.

I think that's how most everyone feels... I know I'm doing some other leagues as I'm sure conflicts will arise. I'd like to do something on a Sunday or maybe Monday Night Race Night or something... but I'm open... I'm on the West Coast and a lot of you are on the east coast... What works for you I haven't got feedback from anyone yet regarding time..

Part of my problem is that I am in the process of changing jobs and hopefully setting up my schedule to have nights free instead of how it is now with me working nights. If all goes well though, I will be free after 6 or 7 EST.
 
I work construction and as of right now, I am off for the winter. So I am available anytime, but thats subject to change anytime the phone rings.

As long as I am off work, I would be up for the international event too if it needs people to get it up and running.

Yeah, left coast is a bit hard to coordinate with uk/eu people. All my leagues intented to include UK/EU people start at 2 pm EST, which according to most folks work best for them.
 
I'd like in too, but I'm not sure I'll be able to make it this Sunday, a house full of football fans wouldn't like it if I switched over to race for a bit. If I can get in, I'll join the second session.

Thanks!
