Something you should know about the horsepower!!!: Some racers and I have recently noticed a little issue with the hp. For example: If you tune your car up to 591hp, then when you enter the time trial, the hp will show up with a bit higher amount of power. Do not worry about what the time trial says about the hp, just worry about the hp when you are in the tune shop.



Race Specifications:


Your Run must be completely clean at all times.
{Stay on the track}
{No more than 2 wheels on the grass/dirt, with the other wheel(s) on the rumbles or the track}

Standard Clean OLR Rules:


* 2 wheels on (or vertically in line with) the track at all times
* Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
* Runoff areas are not part of the track
* No contact with walls, objects and non-gravel terrain (with all 4 wheels), visible or invisible
* If you're not 100% sure that your lap is clean, then consider it dirty

Thread rules:

The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed on MSN or via other private conversation methods):

Why is GMT important?

GMT is World Time and the basis of every world time zone which sets the time of day and is at the center of the time zone map. GMT sets current time or official time around the globe. Most time changes are measured by GMT. Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.

Good Luck to everyone, and have fun!

Week 13 is closed.

I have decided to close the GTP_WGT3RS. Since all the rush over GT5 is going on more than ever, and people not wanting to race in GT3.
So, I am closing the series for quite some time. Until sometime next year.
Sorry for the bad news everyone, but we are not getting hardly any racers for this week and won't be for the next week probably.

 

[apemax]

ah ok then. no problem.

 

[MadMax]

Even thought I was ready to tune another car , I agree that putting the series to a halt is the right thing to do.

I've enjoyed the chance to use GT3 for weekly competing. Something I had missed.

Ditto what MM said. I enjoyed the chance to play a game that I had unfortunately passed over on my way to GT4.

 

[Eric Demory]

I will continue the series sometime next Summer, after GT5 has been out for a while and people may want to revisit the GT classics.
