Thanks to asdfg11 for the countdown timer!
​

General Info About Races: Our goal is to provide a racing simulation experience for everyone. Real off-road grip, weak slipstream, tire wear on, and yes, heavy damage in longer endurance races (light damage for sprints)! ABS is optional.

The potential for damage encourages respect and sportsmanship among everyone, making penalties unnecessary -- GT5's penalty system is easily gamed, often penalizes the victim and does nothing to further the "racing simulation".

Endurance races are usually long enough to require at least one pit for tires and/or gas depending on the car. We also enjoy racing real life cars, and offer a wide range of racing experiences, from VW Buses to F1's, some tuned, some untuned, you name it. Feel free to check out the Facebook page ( http://tinyurl.com/GT5-LPP ) to post race suggestions and say hello!

Other Notes: The GTPlanet Online Racing Rules & Guidelines applies with some changes/additions.

1. Bump drafting is allowed where it makes sense.
2. Keep racing on the track, regardless of incident, unless cars behind you are approaching. If you decide to allow the other driver(s) to pass because of a collision, be absolutely sure that you will not be in the way of other drivers. When in doubt, keep racing.
3. Drivers that are to be lapped are under no obligations to move out of the way, as long as they are not intentionally blocking. Most tracks have many sections to overtake. If you're faster, you'll find a way to pass.
4. There will be no race restarts for people that disconnect, unless something extreme happens like half the room disconnects at the same time. Common sense will dictate what's appropriate. People that disconnect will still earn points (where applicable) depending on when they disconnected.
5. As this event is in a public room in the Open Lobby, non-GTPlanet participants will be free to join, and patience may be needed at times. Drivers are asked to call out unruly drivers and the room host will eject drivers who are not clean and do not respond to warnings (including mid-race in extreme cases).
6. Track boundaries are generally the same as those enforced by the GT5 penalty system and as defined by section 16: Offline Racing in the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules linked above. See the illustration below. Occasional unintended infractions will be tolerated, particularly if you visibly attempt to correct a bad line by braking, etc. or you have lost control of your vehicle. Patterns of abuse will not be tolerated, and complaints will be addressed as noted in #5 above.

How to Sign-Up: Just post > GTPlanet username (Playstation Network username)

** This race is open to all Real Racing Sim regulars and past participants on a first come basis. New sign-ups are welcome, but signing-up on this thread does not guarantee entry if the room fills up. Please be on time. **

Please remember that this race will be in a public room and uninvited walk-ins will be able to join from the Open Lobby.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

*** Reserved for Notes and Results ***​

You do not have to purchase a car this week...

For those not familiar with them, the Recommended list of cars is available in unrestricted on-line rooms. The Recommended tab will appear below the Standard Car tab in the Garage and all Recommended cars are available to all drivers and cannot be tuned other than basic settings, like Tires, ABS, Brake Bias ("in race" only) and Front/Rear Diff ("in race" only on some 4WDs). During the race session, the room host will set the room to assign everyone to the same car.

You can test drive the Recommended HPA Audi TT by going into your own private lounge or any unrestricted public room, and selecting from the Garage. Recommended cars are also available in Arcade Mode. They are not available in Practice mode, though purchasing a stock HPA Audi TT should be pretty close.
