It's here.(!) The first Season of the Street Car Racing League(SCRL) is underway. Starting spots remain for season 1, accepting reserve drivers for this season and applicants for season #2. SCRL is about racing your best tuned and fastest street cars, tuned to racing specs at a given PP level. SCRL is open to anyone and everyone. Season 1 began December 9th at 10p.m. EST(GMT -5). Season 1 ends in mid-February, & Season 2 will be slated to start in the beginning of March. SCHEDULE, LEADERBOARD & ARCHIVE RECORDS AT THE BOTTOM, LAST POST, OF THIS PAGE!
Participation in season 1 will consist of 14 of the best street car racers in GT5, racing in 7 teams on 20 different courses @ 20 different PP levels, using street cars tuned to track racing specs'.
Have you been playing GT5 since it came out? Do you love racing street cars tuned to racing specs? Do you like to race online basically every night? Are you fast, but still looking for that great group of clean and fast racers to push you to make you even better? Tired of racing online without a purpose, and with the random jerks you come across in online lobbies? Looking for a street car league that provides excitement and competition, while not being so serious that you cannot miss a race for whatever reason?
If you said yes to yourself about all the above then SCRL is exactly what you're looking for!
The SCRL season 1 will consist of 20 races. Races will be around 50 minutes long, with a different PP set custom to each course. Two of the 20 races will be "bonus" races(race #10 @ Keyring 4.20 a custom Toscana[shared] track & race #20 Nurburgring 24h) lasting a bit over an hour and points accrued in these races will be doubled.
Races will be ran twice a week at night(@ 10 P.M. EST, GMT -5) Scoring will be point based and each racers' three(3) lowest scores will be thrown out at the end of the season, which will provide leniency for emergencies and family outings and such, and/or a bad race or poor car decision.(!)
The league is sure to be a hit & return for future seasons. Season 1 of SCRL will consist of 14 racers in 7 teams all racing in one lobby. Season 2(and progressive seasons) may expand to 30, 45, 100 or more racers, racing in different divisions with more hosts. That is the beauty of this "keeper" league, is that it is sure to expand and no limit to how big it could be in future seasons(for ARCHIVES scroll down.)!!

Team scoring will be a secondary thing(ala NASCAR) and no scores will be thrown out for its standings at the end of the season. Teams' scoring will be the addition of you and your teammates score, obviously. You may pick your teammate or bring a good, clean, dependable racing friend to join your team before the season begins. Name your team any one(or two) word(s) that is(are) acceptable, if not a default name will be assigned to you and your teammates team. If you don't have a teammate picked yourself you will be assigned one before the start of season 1.
*Again, teams(teammates) are in SCRL just to promote friendliness on the track, and give racers an extra incentive to show up for ALL the races. Don't let your teammate down!

Replays will be saved and watched by myself & all other participating SCRL racers. Any complaints or infractions will be reviewed and points deducted at the cost of the amount of positions gained from said infraction and added to the total of the racer(s) involved that lost positions. Warnings/Strikes will be issued and toleration of dirtiness, short-cutting, over excessive blocking, dirty blocking and crashing is zero.

(!!!)Races(Race #'s 10 & 20) with asterisk(*) are bonus races with points being doubled.(!!!)
(!!!!) SEASON SCHEDULE SET-UP WILL REMAIN THE SAME FROM SEASON TO SEASON, LEAVING AN ARCHIVE OF PAST RACES BEST TOTAL & SINGLE LAP TIMES(@ bottom of 1st page!).(!!!!)
Rules and regulations:
Clean, with a three strikes and you're out policy.
Tires: Racing softs(super softs if they become available, you may use any compound you like)
Tire wear/Fuel consumption on.
Penalties will be off(SCRL enforces its own penalties).
Damage will be set to none.
Visible Damage: On
All Aides will be open for use. (SRF is encouraged)
Boost off.
Slipstream strength: Strong
Grip reduction: Low
Grid Start.(fastest first)
Race Finish Delay: 180 seconds(3 minutes)
You are allowed one clean blocking attempt per straight, if that. Two blocking attempts per straight, over use of the one block rule or a dirty block will result in a warning &/or strike(There has been some confusion about what is a clean block, two important facts, you may block with your rear bumper, NOT your rear quarter panel, and you may only swerve one car width to attempt this block. Once a car has pulled along side of you, your chance for a block is over, and you must adhere to GTP clean online racing rules). If you accidentally knock someone off the road or into a wall, the thing to do is wait and give the position back(no wait = no warning, automatic strike). No racing alongside a "Lead Lap Car", if you are a lap down, and encounter someone who has already passed you, you may not fight them... The thing to do is race fast until the oncoming car gets close enough to consider a pass, then you slow down, give up your fast line, and let the lead lap car around clean and without contact or resistance.
Three strike policy will be in effect. Third strike of unclean racing will result in banishment from SCRL. I will be the judge, jury and executioner for all infractions. If you do not want to race clean, I will have no problem replacing you with someone that does.
SCRL Warnings and strikes list(w,x1,x2,x3OUT):
1. zXdanger(w)
2. TeamOrlando(w, x1)
3. francisbailey(w, x1)

Any street legal vehicle is allowed, adjustable front and/or rear downforce is allowed. Tuner cars are allowed. Concepts of street cars are allowed. Only exception is NO TRUCKS! Absolutely NO RACE CARS/Touring/GT300&500/LM concepts/RM/TC/LMP's. No Furai!
Street CARS, not street TRUCKS! A VERY wide range of vehicles(cars) available for racing in races throughout the entire championship! You do not have to match your teammates car in make, model or color. Variety is key here.
Races will begin shortly after everyone has joined and ran a hot lap for Pole Position(fastest lap starts 1st and so forth). Late entries may not get this opportunity. I(or my GF, if i work late) will try to have the room open for an hour or so before scheduled races begin. Room most likely will be ran out of my private lounge.
Prizes for all racers will be on par or better than prizes you see in other similar leagues. Prizes will be revealed at a later date and will include DLC painted trade'able cars, car tickets(any and all tickets), paints, gear(helmets and suits[high end gear]) and RS tires.
SCRL is a serious racing league welcoming serious racers!... This pretty much sums it all up. Any and all questions about SCRL are welcome and you can PM me anytime on here or on the PSN. All interested racers please send messages and friend requests to GTP_Earthbound.
Looking forward to an awesome SCRL racing season, season 1, and many more seasons ahead! Good Luck to all racers & teams!
PROUD SPONSER OF PERSONAL BGM & GT5 RACERS, NOT GTP OVER-POSTERS, like SO many of the other racing clubs, SINCE 2011!
