Series Information and General Rules
- All six races will be run in Arcade Mode and each will last one week, with a submission deadline of Tuesday at 11:59 PM GMT.
- The cars used will be a variety of Hondas, mostly road cars on standard (N) tires, but with race cars appearing as well. Make sure you have all Hondas, used and new, unlocked in Arcade Mode, because few of the cars I will use are available from the beginning.
- Standard OLR cleanliness rules apply: Two wheels must be in contact with the track at all times; rumble strips are part of the track; no contact with walls allowed at any time.
- Discussion of times in the race thread during the week will be limited to split times (T1, T2, etc.). Final times are not to be discussed and must be submitted to me by PM before the week's deadline.
- Please save your best lap replay just in case I request proof, which is unlikely but possible. Generally, no proof will be necessary for the winner or for anyone else; however, I reserve the right to request a photo of a time if I am suspicious of it.
- Each race will award points towards the overall championship standings to all who submit a clean lap/race time, with the winner receiving 10 points, second place 8, third place 6, and fourth on down each separated by 1 point (5, 4, 3, etc.). No points will be awarded to a non-submitting driver. You do not have to announce your participation in the championship beforehand: anyone may participate in a race and be counted into the championship points, even if you do not plan on running all the races; similarly, there is no obligation to participate in every race. The driver with the most points at the end of the six races will win the championship.
Given the general dislike of Twin Ring Motegi, of N tires, and of FF cars in general, this combo may look unappealing at first. However, I encourage you to try it for yourself, because this car handles very well for its drivetrain, the N3 tires are fairly grippy, and the East Course is vastly more fun than the full road course. There will be no points awarded for this race, but if you're interested, I encourage you to give it a try. It's really pretty addictive.
Have fun! Leaderboard

) and on the ones that involve just a single, fast corner (e.g. A3 and A4). Plus, there's the odd one that just totally confounds me (57th on IB1 and 66th on IB12
