Ok, so it was a great idea, but headed in the direction the WDS seems to be headed.
Well I like both ideas, if no more new ones come up we may have a vote and try to get one going, at least for a little while.👍
EDIT: Well that was strange, I don't think i've ever seen that happen before.

After watching some d1gp, I have come up with a few suggestions concerning D1gp/Formula D style.
It appears that TIRE SMOKE and a clean line, are most important high HP cars, such as: FC, FD, s15,S!4,S13, rx8, soarer/chaser, supra, s2000, and two 300ps Hachi Rokus
A good line is required for low HP cars such as: Miatas, most Hachi Rokus including one160ps one, and other small cars.
A line is the 100% most important part in judging, followed by angle compared to power, and finally, crowd appeal. Im telling you this so we can have the most realistic judging, and a real fun time
I only saw a few cars up over 500PS, and one spun out on its first turn. Most cars had 400-450.
EDIT: one 800ps s15, was shown too :| unthinkable (jk)
Suzukua, TC, Infineon, Fuji and a few othr courses are ACTUAL d1gp ones, so were gonna have to improvise with traack segments that seem to be like they could be D1gp. ONCE again, this is general info, and not meant to be offensive (if it is) or some crazy kid's rules...

We'll all posted at the exact time, thats never happened with me before.
As Drift King and nk4e has said, its just not going to work for some of us. For one, I don't have a tv right next to my computer, and I'm not going to move it every night and have to deal with a laggy game. Also, I have dial up so it would really be laggy for me.
Now that I've seen all the rules and requirments for the GTPDC, I'm not so sure about it anymore, do you think we have enough people to do this?
Right now, I'm more in favor a D1GP style a contest. But thats just my opinion.
EDIT: Would y'all like for me to make a poll, asking which people would like?

If I didn't live in Europe I probably would be (PAL version incompatible.. plus high ping)... Although I prefer drifting tuned cars to be honest.
Here's hoping that there'll be proper online functionality in the next GT, but I suspect I can't race you even then because of PAL/NTSC incompability (which I'm sure they'll keep implementing)... unless somebody wanna send me an NTSC PS3 anytime soon

Let me get mine first, then we'll talk.
i like the d1gp idea, but why would you want to limit it to d1gp tracks only? thats lame. there are tons of good sections in the tracks we have.
but we would need some judges who know what they are doing and looking for in a drift. We would need to find some RELIABLE judges(another problem with the gtpdc), and the participants would have to enter in every event, or things will go downhill fast. There will need to be some simple sections, and some harder ones to show that the driver can make their car compete everywhere and to also show their skill.
but the thing is, everyone will say they will be committed, but when the times comes, they wont be. i understand that if we have a points system and they miss an event then thats on them, it will mean they fall behind.
if everyone will actually commit themselves then it could turn out pretty good.
well those are my jumbled thoughts on this.

Yeah, I'm not sure limiting the tracks to just D1 will be good, because as you said there are a lot of good tracks to drift.
Instead of having a panel of judges, we could keep it to votes, and whatever place you come in is how many points you get, like in D1. I think that will solve the problem of people not entering.
How do y'all feel about anonymity, should everyone know who's who.
And if we go with this idea, how long should the season last?

well, the only bad part of everyone knowing who everyone is we will have to watch the voting(easier to cheat, IE: hey X, do me a favor and vote for me every week! ok? thanks!). i know someone hates me for something(thus they will try to make me lose if im close to winning), but i dont think they are still on gtp. but besides that, i dont care really if anyone knows who i am.
maybe we should limit the votes to who is competing? or like who is competing + a few seniors who arent competing.
season length... say 5 sections? that would be a max of 100 points, but i dont think anyone would come too close to it.
what about the tracks? will it all be in a schedule? like First Week of June we will be visiting Suzuka, Second week Fuji, etc. maybe we could vote for tracks/sections before the season starts.

How about restarting the photo comp because not everyone can afford a digicam, so taking a snap and putting it on a computer via a memory stick is much better. just my opinion

It would be easier for people to cheat but, its not anonymous in the photo competitions, maybe we can try it here. If someone wins that shouldn't stand a chance then we'll know. Limiting the votes to entrants would work i think. 5 sections a season sounds good enough. I'd like to have it be a schedule, that's how it is in D1, they know what tracks and sections to expect. For each new season we could make a poll with all the courses, those 5 with the highest votes will be used.
It is restarted, check in the photomode competition forum.👍
EDIT: Ok, the poll for the 2 major contest ideas is up. Go ahead and vote just so we can be sure that most everyone is cool with it.

The thread title caught my attention from the main GTP index.
A very big problem a few months ago in the WDS. A community poll to determine running order works well if everyone can be trusted to be honest and impartial - unfortunately not everyone has the dignity and scruples to do so in an environment so impersonal and free of penalty as the internet.
I really did like the sound of the team idea that surfaced early on in this thread. That would be something this forum never really saw with GT4 (minus 1 GTPC team battle, if memory serves). Teams haven't been as influential in GT4 as they were with driftng in GT3, so it might be something fresh. Not everyone belongs to a team so it might spark the creation of some new ones.
I know at IDM when things were busy and bustling around the time of our second video release, there was a pretty large feeling of comraderie and accomplishment when it was done. That project was a great way to bring back some old faces and get everyone interested again - so maybe a little more team spirit and rivalry is needed around here to perk things up.
The use of teams might also keep the number of participants consistent. You could limit things to two entries per team, with each entry necessarily originating from a different member. It would allow the individual members of each team some down time so they wouldn't have to participate every week to maintain a high ranking.
...maybe it'd work, maybe not. Depends how many teams are formed and keep active.
oh, and tournaments!
That was something I'd always wanted to bring in before my PS2 expired. Something fairly short... say four events over the span of a month seemed reasonable to me. Quick turn-around means a lot of title defending and opportunity for new entrants to get in at regular intervals.
For judging, I had thought 3 judges could rank the videos from best to worst, then the average placement from the combined lists would determine final positioning and points payout.
It wouldn't require any sort of real scoring like the GTPDC did, just 3 impartial guys with the time to watch 10 or so short videos every week and order them, and one head judge to do 5 minutes worth of 3rd grade math.

A pretty good work-around if you have a decent number of entrants and insert the stipulation that they may not vote for their own performance.

Aww, man. When I saw you were in here I started jumping for joy.
I remember that, WDS 12 I think i was, I could be wrong though. Maybe we should start handing out free bannings to anyone who decides to cheat. Thats how it is in the WRS isn't it, could work here I'm sure.
Yup, that was an idea I brought up to try and get the ball rolling. And you hit the nail on the head with what I was hoping for from this idea. A big majority of the regulars here are on a team, those who aren't may strive to join one, or team up with others to form new ones.
Also what I was thinking, that way those who couldn't or were burned out didn't have to enter, and most teams have a decent number of members.
Another good idea, the only thing I'm concerned about is having the people to judge it.
And one question, whatever competition we decide to set up, is anyone wanting to be a host? Because if not I'll do it. But if someone else would like to give it a go, fine by me.
well, if it has a big turnout, i would be willing to be a judge.
i dont really like the idea of bringing the gtpdc back. everyone complains about the sections being too long, so a whole track would give a few people a heart attack. plus we could use something new around here. so ill vote for d1gp type competition.
