The Group Key:
(open) = Available slot in a group. The next highest ranked driver from the lower group will take this slot when he confirms particpation
(pending) = Saved slot in group. Waiting for reponse from driver on whether or not he will participate in this particular tournament. If no response or declines then the next driver in line is given the slot the day before the tournament when the groups are finialized.
(A name) = slot is taken by a confirmed driver

The Rules

(1) - YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR CAR TUNED TO 498PP or you will be DQ'ed from the event.


(2) - First place gets 10 points, second 7, third 6, fourth 5, fifth 4, and sixth 3 and seventh 2. Points are not determined by your finishing position overall, but by your finishing position according to other GTP members. So you can win and get 10 points even if you finish 3rd, as long as there is no GTP members ahead of you.

(3) - If the host quits the race then that race is cancelled. Wait for the next one. Do not try and restart the race as my not have enough time to finish it and make it to the next race on time. Wait for the makeup race time.

(4) - If you get put into another group with no GTP racers then you will be awarded 3 points. If there is at least 1 GTP member in your group then points are rewarded normally.

(5) - Whoever accumulates the most points over the 5 races is the champion. Tie breaker goes to who won the most.

The drivers are grouped according to their performance in each tournament.

After each tournament this is how it will go:

Say group A runs their 5 races and the points look like this:

Driver A - 39
Driver B - 38
Driver C - 36
Driver D - 35
Driver E - 35
Driver F - 34
Driver G - 25

Say group B runs their 5 races and the points look like this:

Driver H - 36
Driver I - 32
Driver J - 30
Driver K - 26
Driver L - 15
Driver M - 11

Drivers H and I would move up into group A and drivers F and G would move down into group B because those were the lowest and highest scoring drivers. This goes down through all the groups, top 2 drivers move up, bottom 2 move down.

Newcomers will be added to the bottom group and they will have to work themselves up from there.

(6) - At the end of the race just write down your finishing position compared to the other GTP members. If you finish up front use the extra time to write down the finishing position of the others to ensure everything is recorded in case they don't see the results.

[Vaxen]

in

 

[OrangeR]

In again, and again, and... Orange Lotus for me.

 

[Chadwicksracing]

Lets do it.. I am in..perhaps I can get back into CUP A

 

[L_Hamilton]

I'm in....

And if someone picks the Daihatsu ....they're getting a bullet in the kneecap..

So do the noble thing..and pick the Mine's BNR34..= )

 

[Noah]

You can count me in. I made a name change by the way.

 

[Heli-Eric]

If there's room ... I'm in.

 

[Threshold]

I want in. GTP_Brakefade

 

[Earth]

Since we are running 500pp and on Saturday mourning it should be empty so I'm bumping the # of cars per group to 7. Maybe even 8 if there is demand

 

[91hondawagon]

In.

 

[wrcsti]

I will try to join this after I go and get a NTSC version tomorrow.

 

[Noah]

I'm sorry, but I just found out today that I actually will not be able to do this event, because I have to work all weekend.

 

[NapoleonMikey]

sorry guys cant participate in these anymore. new job keeps me busy :'(

 

[cudadude2]

i'll play

b

 

[L_Hamilton]

i'll play

b

Noooooooooooo!!!!

 

[wrcsti]

Noooooooooooo!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Darn from what I see cuda is real good

 

[Biggles]

I'd really like to run the Lotus - it's a fun car to drive. BUT I'll be at a wedding on Saturday.

 

[vukmeister]

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could please help me out with the tune for this car? I haven't the slightest clue about tuning however, I tweaked the suspension a little bit ,shortened the final gear and I was able to get a 1'09 in London, and a 2'39 in Suzuka, I don't know if you can even call those times "competitive" (you guys are probably hitting 1'03s and 1'30s). I'd appreciate any help you guys can give. Thanks much in advance

 

[vanos2990]

NOOOOOO!!!!🤬!!!!!!! I have to work that Saturday ... and just when I finally got into cuda's group! ... oh well, guess I'll have to win all the races in the next tournament to stay competitive good luck guys

 

[bbcnascar2]

Put me in please,GTP_bbcnascar2

 

[Noah]

Under total points could you please change my name from GTP_Noah to NCD_ because of my name change?

 

[Vaxen]

Under total points could you please change my name from GTP_Noah to NCD_ because of my name change?

Out of curiosity, why the name change?

 

[Noah]

Out of curiosity, why the name change?

Honestly I guess just because I feel like GTP_Noah doesn't really go along with other games. I only like having one account on my PS3 as well. I don't really know I'm kind of confused on what to do right now. Stick with GTP_Noah or NCD_. I don't know. Do you not like NCD_?

 

[L_Hamilton]

London 1'06.537

Suzuka 2'38.5xx

What's everybody else's time?

 

[L_Hamilton]

How about GTP_NCD? 👍

You are free to pick whatever name you like -- one of the benefits of an online community! 👍

I was curious why you'd dropped the GTP_ tag, as it has value in that in most cases it's a badge which indicates at least an intention to race clean. (This doesn't always pan out, but is more true than not.) I'm glad to hear that you weren't dropping the GTP_ tag because you didn't want to be associated with it anymore!

I can understand wanting to consolidate around one online persona on the PS3 for all games, as each account has it's own friendlist and so on.

For me: I added the GTP_Vaxen sub-account for GT games, and still have my master account as Vaxen for other stuff.

1'05.1 London..I know I can get 1'04..
2'36'1 Suzy

 

[Earth]

Well, once again my participation in this week's tournament is in severe doubt.

The DVI cord and HDMI adaptor I have were cheap to begin with, and now the DVI to HDMI adaptor has completley failed as in broke in half.

I went to a couple of stores today looking for the $5 dollar adaptor but only found full $40 DVI to HDMI cables. Tempting to buy, but why do it when the adaptor is only $5 on eBay?

That's why I missed today's Nissan meeting as well.

 

[Threshold]

2:40s in Susuzka
2:07s in London

Still got some work to do, but this little car is fun to drive.
