Spoiler: 'Notes'

If a driver has an incident they wish to report, please send a PM to myself or another steward. The steward panel will then review the decision and come to a decision, handing out penalties or reprimands if required. You will be given 24hrs to appeal if you wish.

Reprimands
If you receive the following penalties on your licence, you will receive the following:

3 Reprimands - Start at the back of grid for Race 1
5 Reprimands - Drive through penalty at the next race
6 Reprimands - 20 point championship reduction
8 Reprimands - Race Ban

Drivers may be penalized for both on and off track behaviour.

All rules are there for a reason. All drivers, including the host, do not receive special credit. Please read all rules before signing up. I was not aware of that rule is not a valid excuse.

Drivers who are AWOL will receive a warning, after this a reprimand. All drivers are expected to notify the host before the race whether they can race or not.

Team mates do not have to run the same livery car.

Yet again, another huge thank you to all drivers who contribute.

The GTTCC is a group of people who enjoy clean racing, socializing and having fun. We try to get every driver involved and feel welcome. Any questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to ask.

CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS​

 

Yep.

 

In.

 

In as a tentative independent reserve (might go full-time once I get things set up after I move)
@Antares26 / The_Noir_Antares / Scorpius Apex Racing / #26

 

@NinjaEvo / NinjitsuEvolved / Independent (TBC) / #76

 

J_Starscream / J_Starscream / Starscream Enterprises/ #3

 

You should know my number by now matey. Wanna team up? Not sure what Filo is doing.

 

I believe @DannyB013 and I were going to team up sorry mate, although if he won't be racing the truckers can have a run out

I think filo has just gone straight over to PS4

 

@Ash9414 @J_Starscream @Antares26 @NinjaEvo (those signed up so far)

@Storm_SP17 @DannyB013 @DeltaJuliet @epic_apri_39 @sibbystiggy @Ives40 @Ares85 @Duker_86 @Draggon @andrew1990 (those who might be interested)

Looking at starting this Wednesday while we have a FGT break and hopefully we get good numbers. There will be 5 team slots and 6 indy spaces

 

Yup sign me up

 

Wow, so soon?

 

Yep. We lost 2 weeks due to GTTCC7 delay. I don't think waiting is a good idea, plus we all want some good racing to get into and not clash as much with FGT

 

I'll give it a shot, and if I find racing at Thursday morning equally comfortable, I might go full time.

 

Count me in as an indy.

 

I'm in
Ives40/ives40/biggun racing/#40

 

I'm in on hols weds after next. Might be able to go full time! Same entry as CRZ champs please

 

Anyone got a setup that will make me win every race?

 

Only changeable thing here mate is the driver, so I think that's where the problem is

BTCC FINALS DAY! So excited and emotional

 

Completely stock?

Edit: Don't worry. I just read the first post for once haha.

 

Just set it up like you would the DC5, and I'm being serious

 

Poor ash, that's why he gets walked over during contract negotiations

 

Vote to remove Willow Springs from the calendar...

 

Counter-vote to keep.

 

Laguna?

+1

 

Laguna Seca it is then!!

 

Monza

 

Eh, not quite as bad as Willow haha.

 

God, Laguna....the last time we were there all I remember was Ash spearing into True braking into corkscrew

 

I can confirm there was no braking on my part.
