November 5th Finale Update!!
With T- 8 days until the finale, I decided to construct a list of what cars we will most likely be using throughout the day. This should give everyone ample time to create their rides and prepare so we dont have people hopping in and out getting new cars.
Car: Chevy Camaro IROC-Z Concept '88
HP: 220
KG: 1468
PP: ~418
Wheel: PDI P525N
Why this car?: Over the time of Fun Runs, this car has been the best superspeedway car I have ever seen, with properties of sidedraft somewhat implemented, the ability to make the high line work, and the closest thing to real life GT6 can ever create.

View attachment 601477
Car: 2013 NASCAR Car
HP: 800
KG: 1565
PP: ~612
Why?: NASCAR GOES LEFT!!! But for real, on Indy, Motegi, and High Speed Ring, these things are fun as hell. Also holds the record for closest finish ever with a dead heat between @nascarfan1400 and @GranTurismo916
View attachment 601480
Car: Ayrton Senna F3
HP: 150
KG: 455
PP: ~540
Why?: The best sounding, and most fun formula car in the game. Enough said.

WEIGHT BALANCE: -30%
LSD: 60/60/60
DOWNFORCE: 500/1000

-INDY TIRES: RH-

PSA: General Rules of the Road for 11/5/16 Finale

View attachment 601540
THE SAFETY CAR / CAUTION
We may or may not have an actual Safety Car, but whether we do or don't, Safety Cars are bound to be called during the course of the day. Its quite simple: If i call a safety car over mic or text, slow down. The leader will set a pace (Typically 62mph/100kph), and the rest of us catch up. There will not be any Virtual Safety cars, as a local yellow will do the job fine enough. Typically it will take the following to trigger a SC:

1-2 car crash on Ovals
2-3 car crash on Road Course
Extreme accident (I.E. Slamming the pit wall on accident)
Poor Weather

A red fllag may also be called if the situation is major enough. If this happens I will walk you all through what to do as it happens.

And in general, please listen to me. I am a total goofball, but I have been around long enough to know what to do when certain things go awry on the game. If I tell you clear your cache, please just do it. If I tell you not to, as it won't help, please don't do it. Believe it or not, after 3 years in total on GT6, and ~2 years of Fun Runs, I know what I'm talking about.

GENERAL RACECRAFT AND SPORTSMANSHIP
It's Fun Runs. It's laid back. It's okay to mess up. It's not Burnout. I run by a "as clean as you can" type of protocol. I am okay with a bump-and-run in the final laps/corners of a race, as well, but that doesn't mean stay full throttle at the end of Nurburgring and plow into the entire field. Am I going to kick you? Most likely not, but please drive smart. You can be ambitious, you can be aggressive, but don't be stupid. Aggressive =/= Dirty.

If you are a regular, you know this already, but if you are new, while we do not follow the AUP in our lobbies, and often swear like sailors, we do NOT tolerate derogatory names toward anyone regarding their sex, race, gender, sexual orientation, whatever. If you cannot handle racing with people from all walks of life, then don't bother joining. 👍



------------------------------------------



Also, to the people tagged, if you haven't yet be sure to look at the car list a few posts above for all the things you'll need come next week. I will also happily answer any questions you may have. With that said, see you all next Saturday!! :)
Interest Check
Keep in mind I am willing to reschedule to fit what people prefer, and can and will post pone if needed. Please add your name to this list (copy paste the whole "Interest Check" section) with your PSN, And @GTP_TAG

Just an FYI, like previous years, the lobby will be a WHAM-FREE ZONE. Playing the song into the mic or through any other form will result in a Suspension from all RACE affiliated activities for an undetermined time. Lets not worry about getting Whamd five days in, and rather worry about giving Fun Runs a good send off! :)

I probably won't be on until ~4pm (Central Time).

Hopefully it's still going then, which it more than likely will be.

:cheers:
 
I'm half and half on coming as of right now, I need to leave for an event in 3 hours so with all the prep given I really don't know. If I don't come then I hope you guys have fun :P It was a blast playing with you guys.
