This would be designed to mimic the Ultimate Street Car challange that Sport Compact Car runs or the Grassroots Motorsports yearly challange.

The format would consist of a top-speed test, quarter-mile run, two best lap events at the beginner circuits and a photo-mode competition to represent a concourse.

All events would be a best of five format. You'd get five top speed runs, five q/m runs, five TT laps at the beginner circuits...But you can only submit one photo for the concourse.

Each event would score points towards the total. Points awarded would depend on how many entries.

Say there was ten entries. Points could be as follows

1st 20pts
2nd 16pts
3rd 11pts
4th 9pts
5th 7pts
6th 5pts
7th 4pts
8th 3pts
9th 2pts
10th 1pt

Cars allowed would be any street or tuner car. Mods would be restricted to a sports suspension. No driving aids. No Full Customize Trans or Full customize LSD
Nitrous, wings and stage 3 weight reduction I am not decided on yet. Also am not decided on if exotics should be excluded, though there may be a price cap for total cost of intial purchase.

The core concept here would be to put your car selection and modification skill to the test in setting up an all around performance car that would mimic something that is actually street-able. The two beginner courses would provide a chance for driver talent to make up for car selection. This would also be a good way to competatively compare cars, though I'd like to keep things civil of course.

TT laps would adhere to the standard WRS rules but I won't be requiring any verification beyond T-times and your honesty. ;)

Open to suggestions about points format, tuning options, etc, Not anything I want to start until there is plenty of interest and a good set of rules laid out. This could easily be ran a few times with variations on car selection allowances and budgets.
 
This sounds like fun; if there's enough interest, I'm definitely in.

One of my favorite parts of GT4 is going down the road of things that are actually feasible, not just fantasyland. I spend a lot of time running cars that are minimally tuned or stock. :D
