As we all know Gran Turismo 6 is just around the corner (ermergerd new cers! ermergerd new trercks!), and GT5 is heading toward its end, I thought we should have one last huge hurrah!
As some of you in Europe may know about the Gumball 3000. For those who don't it's a huge rally where people are are supposed to race for 3000 miles. And there are many fun stops along the way. The most recent one (2013) ended at Monaco in time for the F1 Grand Prix.
So for GT5, I was thinking we would go to each race track and race for x amount of laps. We'll go to each track in order of their location (i.e. Daytona then Laguna Seca then Fuji then Suzuka then etc etc). You must choose one car for the entire event, it is recommended that you pick your favorite car, not just the fastest car you have in your garage (read the quote above, if you haven't already). I'll be doing some math(s) to see how many miles are there for each track and try and make it a so there's a "good" amount of miles (100, 1000, 2500, etc etc).
In between races, we'll drive around the track admiring how PD made the tracks and cars so "purtty". I hope everyone will have a fun time saying good bye to GT5.
When:
It'll be some time around Thanksgiving vacation (November 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st). The time will be decided. I'm hoping to make it so its friendly to ALL continents (except Antarctica, because no likes you).
If you're interested please post below. If we have a good amount of people signed up, I'll make a more specific post in the Clubs & League section. Since there'll are only 16 people per lobby, it'll be a first come first serve basis (depending on the amount of people signing up, people in my club [WHaT's Cops and Cruise Club] may have early access).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumball_3000Gumball 3000 is not a serious race in the traditional sense of rallying races - there are no prizes for being fastest and neither is there any official timekeeping of any sort. The organizers emphasize that it is essentially a road trip adventure and not intended to be a race.
