GMT is based off Greenwhich time... which is in England - so you're at 11 in the morning.

Just wanted to say that, as it stands, this time of 11:00 GMT would be absolutely perfect for me.

Love Super GT so you can count me signed up. Let me know if there's anything further I'd need to provide.

Entry Slip:
PSN: GTP_Neg
Class*: GT500
Team Name*: Carbon 5
Car**: GT-R Motul Autech Super GT '08
Team Members*: None yet

Oh, and Artmann, you can join my team if you'd like.

Also, I think it's best to just make this GT500 only Marfy. Go ahead and add me on PSN if you can btw, I can help with testing. I'm usually on from about 7pm to around midnight EDT most nights, that's Australian Eastern to be precise.

And a question.
I'm a bit confused about the race schedule. A and B race - are we doing two heats/sprints in one day, how long will the races be, and can we please turn penalties off during the race at least (lapped cars become ghosts). Other than that, I think the regulations are great. Thanks, take care.

Tracks are set to A and B for the moment but will not be like that when the finalized calender comes out.
I am on around 7pm to 11pm AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) for weekends and 7:30pm to 10pm AEST week days.

so when is testing?? Have the tracks been finalised yet??

Tracks are finalized but the calender isn't. Testing will be Friday night for me. Friday afternoon for you.

11 in the morning? that won't work for me I go swimming about 12ish can't we move it till 8 at night?

I can't move the time to suit one person. The time your suggesting would suit UK drivers but make it a horrible time for Australia (Me) and American racers. It has to be a compromise among everyone if it changes.

The times I have free to race are, Tuesday - Friday 5pm to 12am PST in Washington State(West Coast). Wife gets home a bit after 1:30am.
Let me know if this isn't going to work.
Thank you 👍

After the first testing we will work out times. I just want to see a couple of things first.



Does everyone agree that we should drop GT300 class and make it a GT500 series?



Neg, since you have answered you don't have to worry about it.

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
 
Sounds great Marfy, thanks for the update. I'll look for you online in the coming days.
 
You can drop the GT300 Series if you want. 👍 Probably easier to run one series.

Going to send you a friend request tonight for the season. It will be from T-n-T-2000. I'll chat with Sinladar to have him send you one also. 👍

When I get I'll try and add you all.
I've already added you though RodeRuner1967 :P
 
*IMPORTANT*
All cars must run a MID-RANGE Turbo for parity reasons. High and Low-range turbos are banned!

PROPOSALS
Scrap Nations Championship in favor of Manufacturers Championship (eg: Nissan v Honda etc).
Manufacturers limit to mix up the grid (eg: 4 of each brand).

Group decisions.

I'll check the RodeRuner1967 account today. It is my account where I have all my goodies the game give us. helmets, suits, tickets(I think I have most of them now), paints, parts and cars. If you do prizes each week, I can help with that from the RodeRuner1967 account. My T-n-T-2000 account is where I race from.
I forgot to send you the friend request from T-n-T-2000 lastnight, so I'll send it as soon as I turn on th playstation.

Scrap Nations Championship in favor of Manufacturers Championship (eg: Nissan v Honda etc). Sounds good or do both. 👍
Manufacturers limit to mix up the grid (eg: 4 of each brand). Can you let teams drive the same cars so we can work together? Sinladar and I like working with the same car as team mates. :)
Scrap standard cars and make it Premium Cars only. Having both makes for a larger choice. Toyota for instance would only have one car if you went premium only.

Just my 2 cents. lol

Team mates are meant to use the same car ;)
Good point. 2 Toyota's is a bit unfair.

I added the T-n-T-2000 account is what I meant.
 
What's the idea behind making all the cars run a mid-range turbo? Are you going to specify different power levels beyond that or are you expecting them to all be on the same level?

I like the idea of a manufacturer's cup, Nissan Vs. Honda Vs. Toyota

Each manufacturer has enough cars, Toyota has the Supras and SCs so I don't get what you guys mean by saying there's only one premium Toyota.

And seth, I believe those two SCs are pretty much the same, the Petronas might edge it out just a little tiny bit, but that's it, nothing significant.
 
I'm thinking running in this with maybe the Denso SC430. There should be enough entries for everyone to use a different car but if people want to go manufacturer championship I'm not sure how that'll play out.

The time suits me just fine. 👍

Just one question:
Perhaps missed it when reading the OP, but I did not see anything about how to qualify. Are we just running a 15ish minute session prior to the race or will there be week long qualifying?

cheers
 
But which one is better, the DENSO or the TOMS SC430?

I'm quicker in the DENSO but it's minor.

So people don't get a benefit from running different turbos for different tracks. Try and keep it level.

I only said 2 Toyota's because I was separating Toyota and Lexus at the time. I am aware the Lexus is Toyota's luxury car brand (eg: Infiniti to Nissan) but I was intending on having 4 of each to keep it even.

And seth, I believe those two SCs are pretty much the same, the Petronas might edge it out just a little tiny bit, but that's it, nothing significant.

Lexus and Toyota should count as one manufacturer imo.

I agree to an extent.

It will be a 15 minute qualifying session immediately prior to the sprint race and then reverse grid for the feature.

Time to start some racing. :)

11 A.M. GMT would be 3 in the morning western time in the U.S. wouldn't it? That's a little too late for me.

Haha. Since all the best, and only series are American suited times, i have to do this every friday, otherwise i can only get 1 series in.

I would love to join, but, it has to be before 17:00EST, and after 22:00EST.

Started Friday Night practices last week.
If everyone wants to start then we will get this show on the road. We can gather more people during the season but I was hoping for 12 people to join before starting.

Friday practices sound great. Give me a shout when you sign on.
 
Hahaha!!!! I got out the homework! I am online now if anyone wants to pop on.
 
Yes I believe so. I doesn't seem to have gotten anymore interest.

It could be the time frame. tell your friends to join. I have one of mine here, but most of my friends don't like to race in season races. I'm still staying, just need to know when you want to start.
Have a great weekend. :)
 
Time testing will be Thursday and Friday this week starting at 6:30am GMT (approx) and will finish between 6 and 8 hours later. I will pick the time that most people are online and that will be the time we race at.

The first race will start on Friday the 18th of May 2012. The race will be at Suzuka in changeable conditions. It will be held in a private lobby (lounge) hosted by me. Any other people that you can invite, please do, otherwise it will be a small field.

Any questions, post below.

Matt
 
6am a bit early for practice, i'll probably join a bit later around 11 or noon, please post room number here when on. Will send friend request sometime today.
