Welcome to the March Cup, here on the one and only GTPlanet! The March Cup is an exclusive one-make series based on the popular Nissan K12C Nissan March/Micra! The schedule is broken down among the East and West divisions respectively. Each division will run five races simultaneously, and the top drivers from each division will meet in the final showdown, the Champions Cup, at the end of the season to determine who will take home the top prize!

The Car:
Nissan March 125R '07 from Nissan Premium dealer.

How to Register:
Each Division is eligible for 12 Primary and 4 Reserve Drivers. The number of drivers will be broken into teams of two, so if there is someone you'd like to race with, grab them and fill a spot! Remaining drivers will be teamed randomly.

GTP Name/PSN ID/Nation Represented: (If running as a team, information for both drivers.)
Team Name: (If registering two drivers.)
Car Color/Wheel Color:

General Rules
As always, standard online racing etiquette is required. No wall-riding, no intentional crashing, and two wheels must stay on or above racing surface. Some contact is expected, as in the spirit of the touring car sport.

Aids: TCS/AS/SRF/ASM will be off during the events. ABS and Racing Line are legal per driver discretion. AT and MT are legal, though MT is preferred.

Secondary Information
Awards/Prizes - The top two teams from each division will be invited to participate and receive first car selection on my next series, the Japanese Touring Cup, featuring cars such as the Honda Civic and Nissan Primera.
Points Champions from each division will receive a to be determined Prize Car. Champions cup winner will be awarded a Prize Car as well. Both drivers from each top division team will receive a to-be determined standard prize car.


I've put a couple weeks of thought and some good time into this, and I hope drivers will share the same enthusiasm. Good luck to everyone!

Sounds like fun, might be interested depending on schedule. Races run during the week would be awesome since I already have a full weekend, however I don't get home until just before 7pm Pacific, 10pm eastern.
 
Sounds interesting will stay tuned for days and times
 
No pit stops unless to fix damage. There will be a mandatory pit stop during the Champions phase.
 
I am still debating it, actually. The number of small tracks makes it a bit easier to use full damage. No one wants to limp around the Nurburgring with a bum wheel. What do you guys prefer? Keep in mind I am also open to some suggestions.
 
I'm in, sounds like a lot of fun. I will be running on the weekend division

reiwon32 / reiwon32 / Mexico. Running solo
TBD / TBD
 
I am most certainly interested.
I like weekends kind of. And nights during the week that are not Tuesday.
Keep updated when times are more settled please, I will be watching.

I don't mind full damage, the only problem is if someone lags at the start of the race or forgets that they have brakes in turn 1 will ruin the race for everyone that they hit.

Edit: By the way, is the racing exhaust annoying or does it sound good enough that we can tolerate it for numerous laps on end? :lol:

You read my mind! lol
But I would've never actually came out & been the 1st to ask.
(though if I were to ask the question, I'd have just asked if it sounds like a weed wacker. haha)
I'll be setting one up soon, so I'll report back with a noise assessment. ;)

Definitely interested. Personally I do not care for full damage. I am all for driving a clean race, but it is frustrating as heck when someone else hits you and now you are penalized. I think if we get a good group of guys who understand how to race respectfully, the drivers can monitor themselves.

Any thought on doing the sport suspension to eliminate any tuning? Might provide for closer racing.

Will the 5 rounds all be run on the same night?

TrackBound7/TrackBound7/USA
TBD/TBD
 
Five rounds will NOT be on one night. The two final heats will be on the same night though.
 
I am leaning towards "limited" damage.
 
How does a Saturday night and a Wednesday night sound?
 
Currently working settings out for a second option, the used dealer Micra/March.
 
There's the mm-R cup car which is basically the concept car for that generation of March.
 
It is basically the same car. It's a rare find outside of one certain color, though.

We're not using the one I posted if that's what you are thinking.

It's going to be these, if I can get them level. If anyone wants to help, let me know.
Nissan March 12c 5door '03
Nissan MICRA '03
And possibly Nissan March G# '99, a next to impossible used car to find.
 
Sounds interesting. But I would like to know a definite schedule. I cannot race on Saturdays as I have my own series to maintain. I am also not available on Tuesdays and Fridays. Still, sign me up.

I think one race a week is enough. People may want to prepare themselves and stuff. If that's the case, I vote for Wednesdays.
