I don't like the pp system at all for leagues...I really want to use my celicas and integras...maybe a 300hp 1000 kg weight limited for one...but I'm down for 3 races with 5 laps with different classes
 
Hey all I just did some tests in my online lobby with a couple of different cars to test for the league. The test was done at Tsukuba. I used a 450PP limit with a variety of different cars and they all ran very close (mid 1:06 +/- 0.300 seconds). So it seems the PP system does a very good job and it will let us run a wide variety of cars against each other. Below are the cars (with specs) that I ran. Again all of them ran VERY close times.

Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept '10 - 450PP / Sports Hard / 280HP / 1000kg

Lotus Elise Sport 190 '98 - 450PP / Sports Hard / 163HP / 670kg
(NOTE: I had to use the HP Limiter to get it below 450PP and I could not keep the Elise on the track with the Sports Hard tires. Good luck to anyone that tries to run this thing. LOL)

Mazda Eunos Roadster '91 - 448PP / Sports Soft / 201HP / 850kg

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI GSR '99 - 440PP / Sports Hard / 295HP / 1360kg

Honda S2000 '06 - 450PP / Sports Soft / 240HP / 1245kg
(NOTE: Added wing set to 17. Increasing downforce will increase your PP)

Mazda Roadster RS (NC) '07 - 450PP / Sports Soft / 216HP / 985kg
(NOTE: Ran a 1:05.6 with this guy. Keep in mind that this was the last car I tested and I was getting much more used to the track)

I'm gonna go do some more testing, but the PP system seems to work very well so far. Any input from you guys would be great.

OK so here is what I am thinking for the next series after some PP testing.

Races will be run on shorter courses (~2 miles per lap). ~10 mile races (4 - 8 laps depending on course)

Race 1 - 500PP Classic Cars (pre-1980)
Race 2 - 400PP Roadsters (Miata, S2000, Z3, Solstice, Elise '96, TT, Speedster, SLK230)
Race 3 - 450PP Unlimited (Anything goes under 450PP. No Race Cars. No Concept Cars.)

We will run a qualifying session for the first race, but subsequent races will be slowest first. Points will be awarded for each race. No pole position bonus.

Also note: This is meant to be a "daily driver" type series. No race cars and no concept cars.

Let me know what you guys think! 👍

Looks like a fun series...

Finally have a chance to run that Jensen Healy I got as my birthday car. If Top Gear is to be believed then it should take the classic car series and/or blow up trying, either way sounds exciting...
 
OK so I need everyone to post here on if they can make it TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, or BOTH for this week. If we can get 5 people in on one of those days we will run the final race.

(Please quote reply.)

Post updated with responses below.

Myself (battman23) - Both
smokedogg (tr1mble) - Tuesday
rynedee (rynedee) - Both
xisco44 (xisco44) - Both

OK, I'm going to go ahead and say lets run it tonight. I will try to get in touch with ppark as he is the only other person that has not responded that has been with us the whole time. I will send confirmations through PSN when I get home from work ~6PM EST.
 
the race will be as 730pm as usual can we push it to 8 pm :nervous:
 
OK, did the final race of season 2 last night. Results below:

1st - tr1mble
2nd - battman23
3rd - xisco44

We will start the next series either next week or the week after. I would really like to have at least 6 people for each race and I am recruiting other people I have met online. Regardless I would like to run a practice sometime in the next week. Let me know when you guys are available and we can set something up.
 
I'm sorry for my half-hearted participation in this league guys. Thanks for all your efforts battman, but I must withdraw my interest. Thanks again.
 
No worries scuudz. You were there for the 1st 8 weeks pretty regularly.
 
pleasure running with you guys count me in for the test :D
 
Sorry I missed the race last night guys, yesterday felt like a monday...

I'll be on the lookout for the test time, hope i can make it.
 
sorry i missed last race. I was extra busy this week and on top of that my computer died and for some reason I can't download the new GT5 patch...

I just hope I get the patch settled this weekend.
 
Final standings are updated and xisco44 placed 2nd with myself (battman23) winning! xisco, let me know what car you want as your prize. It can be any premium car up to $100,000 in value.
 
How do I join the league for the next season?
 
Are we racing tonight?

Have we decided on our three classes?

I have been pretty busy the past week and have not had time to thoroughly test, and the 1.07 update that took tire class out of the PP calculation kind of screwed things up as well. I am going to postpone the next race to next week. I am also still looking to recruit some more people through playing online.

Sorry for the lack of updates here.
 
Id be interested in racing im with another league wednesdays and Sundays so if it's a differnt day i'd love to try
