Competition:
To add a small level of competitiveness to the Festival - we have added a small competition area where prizes can be won. During the event, we shall take images of your vehicles and note down which vehicle belongs to who. Then we shall post the cars into a thread with a poll. The Cars that win in their respective categories then go onto a Final - where we set up another thread and poll - and you vote for your favorite. At the end - we release which car belongs to who within the Community. Anybody from the GTPlanet Community is allowed to vote on the poll - so therefore, the images shall be kept anonymous so that only the car is focused on - and not the driver.

The winner of each category shall win a prize; and then the Top 3 results within the final shall also win prizes. The prizes are as followed;

Category Winner: Car Worth 50,000Cr.
Final - 3rd Place: Car Worth 250,000Cr.
Final - 2nd Place: Car Worth 500,000Cr.
Final - 1st Place: Car Worth 750,000Cr.

Competition Rules:
1. Do not indicate which vehicle is your vehicle.
2. Do not vote for yourself in the poll.
3. Do not reveal the identity of other people's vehicles.
4. If you don't get through to the final - don't start going off at people because of it.
5. This is all for fun - and should be kept that way.
6. Anyone can vote on the Poll.
----------

Hi,

Thanks for showing interest in the GTFest; just send me a PM when you know what you'd like to do! Getting online for a chat sounds a good idea - as I'm trying to lay off the Coffee and am rather busy at the moment!

Jason.
 
Dates have now been published within the GTPlanet Calendar; and Program Guides shall be published next week...
 
I'd love to be in all categories, cars TBA. Are we required to be there at the start time, because I can't be.

As close as possible would be appreciated (10 minutes late is a maximum).
Take your pick on some of the later events if the Time Zone Differences mean you'd be up at stupid o' clock! :)

Guys, I'm sorry to say this - but if we cannot at least get 50 applications overall for the event; I'm not prepared to run it! Sorry!
 
I hope more people join! I love Rally, and people seem to not have much interest in on GT5. :(
 
I'm sorry to announce, but due to a lack of entries - GTFest will be unable to take place. Thanks for those who have shown interest!
