Official JGTC S4 Sign Up Thread (Deadline To Join Sunday 10/22)

The time is finally here, the birth of a new JGTC season. Let me introduce to you JGTC S4.

"And the crowd goes wild!" :D :D

S3 will run on a similar system as S2, with some minor & major tweaks here and there. This is the general overview of what it should look like.


10 rounds
1 week qualif
1 week race

Week starts on monday and ends on sunday night




Qualif :

10-15 mins
No penalties based on performance
RM tires only
No tire wear
Default weight in effect, weight penalty is dropped
Air restrictor in place (if any at that point)
AI @ +10 on RS
Speed limiter penalty

PTS : 4-3-2-1-1
Fast Lap : 1 pt for the fastest
+10 secs penalty on race time for missed qualification for EVERYONE



Race :

40-45 mins
Penalties based on performance
RH-RM-RS tires
Heavy tire wear
Weight penalty in effect
Air restrictor in place (if any at that point)
AI @ 10 on RM
Forced pit in entry penalty system for EVERY track

PTS : 14-11-9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Fast lap : 1 pt for the top 3 (1-1-1)



Weight penalty :

1st +5% 2nd +3% 3rd +1%
4th/5th/6th : 0
7th/8th : -1%
9th/10th : -2%
11th and lower : -3%



Air Restrictor :

The winning driver will have a -1% hp air restrictor penalty in place for the next round. This penalty will be in effect for the next 3 races and then dropped after that determined period of time. Exp : A driver winning R3 will get -1% hp for rounds 4-5-6 and on R7 he'll see his power come back to normal. A driver winning again in that 3 races penalty period will gain another -1% hp but the 3 races period won't be resetted like in the past to 3. The longest a penalty (-1%) will hit will be 3 races.





JGTC S3 FACTS


Sandbagging will be looked at closely. If spotted and flagrant the driver in question will receive a first warning. On the second time pts will be deducted from the standings.


At this moment I can't tell you guys if S3 will run both GT500 & GT300 or only GT500. The final decision will go directly in relation with the number of racers we can attract to start the season.


No part-time or full-time status this season. You race when ever you want to race (but do not forget the 10 secs non qualif penalty in place for everyone). With now a fixed weight penalty system and not an entrants dependant system like last season, drivers racing only from time to time will affect alot less the long term weight settings for the rest of the group.


The lineup of cars will be very similar but a drop will be made for the '00 models. Each car will be up for grabs multiple times.


Teams, this will also be in relation with the amount of people interested to join. The final system will be layed out once I get the general idea of how many drivers are looking to race. If a team system is to be used it'll be the drivers choices to pick their partners.





Application form I'm looking to get (here in this thread) :

Welcome and enjoy S3. :)

Hey Eats, I've known mullen_power13 for quite awhile(from another site), he's a very good ,honest and reliable driver. He'll make a good addition to the series.

Ditto! He's a good guy and would be an asset to the series.

GT OLR Expirience: WRS Since Week 66, Some spot-races. Currently participating in ARC 6, and No Rules Brand Racing.
Reference: Saw it in some signatures, liked the concept.
Ambitions: No DLBFs for the whole season.


And may I suggest something? Don't make weight-penalties. They are NOT check-able in the replay, so I can run -10% weight, when others run the -1% they need to, and nobody knows. Replace them with power-penalties...
Simple - trust works, sometimes. But when it gets competitive, it's over. GT4 OLRs can't be ruled through weight, that's why the WRS, and some others, always run at -10% weight.

GT online racing league experience : Been in WRS since week 66, I'm a high performing Div 2'er, on the brink of going up to Div 1. Running in NRBR, and some spot races every so often too.
Reference : Saw it in the Race series forum, I've seen older JGTC threads. Interested then.
Ambitions/goals : To have fun, to improve my skills and to aim for somwhere not DLBF :P .
 
Am I the only one who prefers GT300? I'll do GT500 if needed, but GT300 is much more... Human. Like the cars better, too.

Nope, JGTC as always run with that system and it will continue to be that way. We run on the trust system, we all know our guys and we all know what's doable and what's not based on their individual skills. If you feel in peace with yourself not running the penalty weight good for you, but never forget that if you fawk up once with me you're done and out right on the spot, for ever. I'm sure that in the last 3 seasons some passed us a fast one here and there but the general group of people we had were serious and honest people. There's a reason why I ask the age of the drivers looking to join, and now I see alot of very young people. I don't want to make any generality here but bs and problems tend to come from the younger drivers. Different bracket of age and different mentality at the same time. On the other end I know quite well you can get very dedicated and serious young teens also, and those are the ones I'm looking to get in my series. Weight penalty system is still on for S3.

This is a fairly small community here, and we do all 'usually' trust each other. Replays are more-or-less mandatory or expected, and the honour system is used.
Most, if not all of us, have raced together for at least a full season, and we trust that if we are given a weight penalty then we use it!

There is no honour in winning a contest by cheating yourself! (An old Scouse proverb)

And also, youngling..........

If thoughts, enter your head, like that.................Come and play here, not!

Enough of the WRS play in here,to usually spot when a guy is peforming 'outside the box', and we don't appreciate it! AT ALL!

Neil
 
eats although i am young i am a real race car driver(i race go karts) i would never and have never cheated in the real racing world or on GT planet or any other online racing i am a trustworthy person keep the wieght system its good and most people on here are trustworthy
 
Neil, I thought you were younger a little bit...you old fart. :sly:

Young, virile, and competative at heart...........old, knackered and creaky in the knees & back! :ouch:

Doesn't mean I won't give anyone a damn good run for their money tho!:sly:

Get a job! You've got too much time on your hands Kiddo! :lol:

Neil

I've got 7 days of school left! (Which begs the question, why aren't I there now...Because it's boring, that's why)

I need something to do with 4 months of holidays! :lol:
 
Well, if you can't fill your time with the gorgeous, sun-kissed gals, the rampant tourist trade providing work for even the most slothfull of idiots, or just plain and simple graft...........

Don't know what to suggest bud! ;)

Maybe you should propose a study of the increase of hand-eye co-ordination & observation with prolonged use of driving based video games, on the young driving population. To your local Uni's science dept?
You might get paid? Maybe?

Mind you,
You should probably get them to exclude reversing out of your own drive from the study!:sly:
Especially if the applicant's name is (Hypothetically)Greg!

Neil
 
you know what's really sad ?

I've still got a jacket I bought in Hong Kong while on leave, that is older than most of you ! :ouch:
Bought the jacket in 1978, a Levi denim, and yes the thing still fits :sly:
I'm old, not dead ! LOL .... still wear a 44 jacket and a 30 waist :)

J.R.

and Brad ?
It would be nice to see you stick around this season. It would've been nice to see you run against these guys 👍
