GT5
Hi GTP, I've decided to run a challenge series which is a tournament where you can fight for the top of the league. First of all, yes I'm an GT5 Fanboy. But I hope this will satisfy both fans of the series and racers alike.
How does the GTCR set itself apart from other series:
Tyres Restriction:
This challenge adopts the concept of street racing. Therefore, there will be a tyre restriction of Sports Hard and below. Why Sports Hard you ask? Everyday street cars don't run semi-slicks on the road! There's a couple of threads discussing about tyres here in GTP [1] [2] [3].
Restricting to Sports Hard Tyres will level the playing field of between the low powered cars and high powered cars. Therefore, with limited grip, the big horsepower cars would need to learn to adjust to the limitations.
Weight Restriction:
Street cars have to be roadworthy. Weight reduction will be one which is restricted*. However, weight reduction will be allowed in certain challenges!
Weight Reduction Description from GT4:
Stage 1: Remove back seats, upholstery, sound insulation
Stage 2: Replace the material of the bonnet, front and rear wings, boot lid and other parts with aluminium, titanium and carbon.
Stage 3: Not only replaces the material of the parts but also installs carbon monocoque shell similar to race machines to lighten the car.
In many racing challenges, we tend to lighten the car as much as we can. But can you still handle a car which didn't go for a diet?
Tyre Wear:
Tyre wear has always been an important point in Initial D. Therefore, all challenges will have the tyre wear simulation. All races to be done in 'My Lounge' online to simulate tyre wear and fuel depletion. I've tested that in "My Lounge", the tyres warm up a lot slower.
Damage:
Heavy damage is implemented to simulate the risks of pushing a car to the limit! With heavy damage, you'll find that each mistake will be fatal and how far are you willing to risk it! But You should Not cause a damage because that wouldnt be fair to the others.
Tracks & Shortcuts:
Shortcuts are not allowed. That's why this will tie in with heavy damage. In the future, tracks from the course maker 'may' be adopted, depending on how things goes.
Consistency & Adaptability:
In time trials, we are willing to drive with everything you've got to get 'that best lap'. But here, with tyre wear and damage, you'll need to be able to adjust to cold tyres and tyre wear. You'll find that the challenges here will involve the total time of the race and not 'the best lap'. Therefore, you'll need to be consistant and have the endurance to last the whole race.
Creative Challenges:
There will be 2 types of series running. One will be a fixed time trial leaderboard. The another will be a series running for a season with certain restrictions and conditions. I'll try to keep the series be based around the Anime/Manga. I've got a few creative challenges in planning already.
Car Restriction:
- Car allowed to 500 hp.
- Car can be tuned.
- all sort of Cars are allowed but it needs to be 500 HP or less.
Tracks:
Nurburgring
Suzuka
Fuji Speedway
Laguna Seca
Special Route 7
Rome
