GTMSA Announces SuperGT - Interest and Signup (Non-Penalty Deadline Nov 4 6p GMT)

eatsviper4lunch
Now in it's 5th season the JGTC series is looking for another successful showing. Built with a good core of veterans sticking season after season, the administration is also always looking for new rookies and prospects. Very challenging series with a highly skilled field of drivers, this is the main and only place to test your competences in GT4 online racing. The pace of the top players will make you a better driver by stimulating yourself to get closer and closer to the top each week and shrink the gap between you and them. Looking to face a tough competition? Looking to improve your skills? Looking to have fun with a bunch of good guys? Then look no further the JGTC series was custom made for all your needs.

EV4L hasn't been seen in quite a while, so I'm looking at re-branding JGTC as the SuperGT series for the time being. Right now I'll be using most of what EV4L has put up in terms of rules, regulations, "air restrictors", schedule, etc. Most of this was taken from his JGTC S5 Interest Thread and try as much as possible to keep intact the feel of the old JGTC series while adding something different. So without further adieu...

Gran Turismo Motor Sports Association
Presents

The SuperGT Racing Series

10 Rounds
1 week for qualifying
1 week for main race

Week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday night @ 8:00PM EST

Unlike GTMSA events of the past, there will be no allowance for late-time submissions in this season. Timestamp will be GTPlanet PM delivery time, and it will be final.

Deadline for signup without penalty is Sunday Nov 4th, 6pm GMT. GTMSA always accepts late entries, but any entries after Sunday will incur a 5% HP penalty for the first 3 races.

QUALIFYING
  • 5 Laps Single Race
  • Air restrictor (HP Penalty) NOT in place
  • Weight penalty in effect
  • RM tires or any combination ONLY
  • NO TIRE WEAR for qualifying
  • AI @ your choice from -10% to +10%
  • AI tires always set to RS
  • Forced Pit Entry penalty system always.
  • Points will be handed out as follows: 3pts-2pts-1pt
    Fast Lap: 1pt for the fastest.
    Submission: 1pt for submitting a time or advance notice of no-time VIA PM ONLY.
    +10 secs penalty on race time for missed qualification for EVERYONE.

    Fast Lap: 1pt for the fastest.
    Submission: 1pt for submitting a time or advance notice of no-time VIA PM ONLY.

There will be no Team Championship in SuperGT unless there is a HUGE outcry for it. Also, there will be no Manufacturer's Championship as well. Every man (or woman) for themselves.

WEIGHT PENALTY SYSTEM
Weight Penalties will occur and will be used in RACES AND QUALIFYING. Weight penalties will be accrued only in the RACES.
1st +5%
2nd +3%
3rd +1%
4th/5th/6th : 0
7th/8th : -1%
9th/10th : -2%
11th and lower : -3%

AIR RESTRICTOR
The winning driver will have a -1% hp air restrictor penalty in place for the next round. This penalty will be in effect for the next 3 races and then dropped after that determined period of time. Ex : A driver winning R3 will get -1% hp for rounds 4-5-6 and on R7 he'll see his power come back to normal. A driver winning again in that 3 races penalty period will gain another -1% hp but the longest a penalty (-1%) will hit will be 3 races.

If EV4L comes back, I will gladly hand over the series, as Neil has mentioned. I'll also PM all above interested drivers as well as the ones who didn't get a response after signing up. For now I'm looking to start the series 1st Monday in Nov. Might have a test-session or two in the meantime as well. Hopefully this will be what people are looking for.

No replay. I strongly suggest saving your replays though, as i have asked for verification in the past, either hp/weight settings, time verifications, etc. most of which can be done w/ a digital camera (or cellphone) too...

Not sure Flag .. my guess Shotgun will race .. though ive employed him to wash my cars after each race :ouch:
 
I plan on letting Neil and Del watch my tailpipes all season long. and i figure i'm throwing so much dirt onto Del's car, i should at least wash it too. :lol:

I'm in process of seeing which cars fit my style, but i'll be racing both classes.

I think we have all been testing cars GT4 defistation. I can't decide between the Mobile 1 NSX and the Motul Pitworks Z. I have a couple more tests to do on both of them before I decide. but I am about 90% sure I will run the NSX. If the races were shorter I would definately run both GT300 and GT500 but that is okay because I like longer races.
 
I'll tell you all, my testing in GT500 says that the Supras are faster, but go through tires quicker, while the NSX's are slow, but get GREAT tire wear, at least to my driving style. I'm leaning toward either the au Ceramo or the RX7 LM (sentimental), but the Takata NSX is up there too. Nissans just aren't for my driving style.

GT300 has a tossup. I'm not (gasp) going for the S2000 this time, although the little bugger has seen me through a lot. It's either going to be the Amemiya RX7, the Celica, or maybe the Garaiya, although the ASL is weird with it's powerband. I think i'll have 1 more track to test the cars on, and i'll have my decision soon.
 
Last season when I drove the NSX, it was a bit of a tricky beast at times. But I was doing the driving with a DS2 back then. Since I've gotten the DFP, I feel as though my driving style has improved quite well. :sly:

I plan on running both classes as well. For GT300, I'm sorta leaning towards running the Subaru based on driving it in the GTPLMS S2, but I'll have a look at the other cars that I hopefully unlocked in the time I've played GT4 in GT Mode. Provided I did unlock them... :embarrassed:

In GT500, I may consider racing the TAKATA DOME NSX again. But I'm also considering the RX-7 LM on the basis I got 2 class victories w/it in GTPLMS S2. The other option I'm pondering is the Nissan Motul Pitworks Z '04 which I nicknamed the "Racing Devil Z".:eek: I call it that because I got the car by winning the JGTC series in GT Mode and recieved it on Day #666. :P I've gotten to like this car with the chances that I raced with it and think it could be my weapon of choice for this series. But that depends on some testing with the cars. BTW, I dunno if you got the Wangan Midnight based reference there.;)

As for the start date for the series - be it for testing or the opening round - any idea as to when it may be?
 
Test drove the Amemiya RX7 and fell for it straight away .. smooth as silk .

Going to do some more thorough testing in GT500 though .. the Woodone is slightly faster than the Pitwork , but the increased tyre wear does not make up for it .

Ive never enjoyed racing any NSX , though havent tried driving one in Arcade Mode .. so will do so tonight .. will all cars in GT500 get the same PTW ratio Chris ? ..
 
"For now I'm looking to start the series 1st Monday in Nov. Might have a test-session or two in the meantime as well. Hopefully this will be what people are looking for"

I'm one that would prefer a test session or two 👍
 
It might be longer than Nov. 1st for the real season to start, but i'll probably have a short test-session then. I don't really wanna give the car-stats away too soon by having too many pre-season events.

Qualifying will be 5-lap sprints. 1 week for Qual, 1 week for Race.

Both classes are available. I'd like to see 8 competitors / class, but we'll see how it goes.

Yes. It's back from the shop, cleaned and ready. and if something does go awry, I have all the threads pre-made, and my other files ready for transit to somewhere, or someone if it comes to it, who can take over if necessary. I hope to have a smooth season this year.
