Triathlon postponed indefinitely until further notice



gttriath_zps1e807e6e.jpg

​
Monday nights at 8 PM Central (9 Eastern, 6 Pacific, 1PM Sydney, 2AM London)

A triathlon is a Road Course, Dirt/Snow/Rain, and a Speedway. (Can vary) A league more so just for having some good racing fun. Provides a somewhat realistic approach to some incredibly uncommon circumstances.

Room Rules​
  • Roughly 30 Minute Races
  • Custom tracks are allowed and the courses are voted upon.
  • Damage is always on heavy (Unless it is a track with no pit stops)
  • Real traction reduction and Fast Tire/Fuel loss is also on
  • Weak draft mechanics
  • Lenient on car tunes...(If it fits the PP it fits)
  • Bonus points for the people that come up with crazy color combinations (Points don't matter, but it makes for more fun)
  • Must be sociable. You don't have to have a mic, but it is preferred.
  • Expect the unexpected. Some cars will have a better advantage in some situations over others. Just the nature of the beast (Car switches will be allowed though if the difference is too drastic)

This usually lasts for about 2 1/2 hours with a lot of good jokes made on ugabugaz :sly: All around good fun...Especially with more people.
If you feel up to trying something different and unique. Add me jomama2010 :)

Just remember for you visitors...just because the triathlon is up and running now does not mean you can't join in. Just PM me on the PSN (Same ID) and you'll get in no problem.

Right now we are averaging about 7 guys.
 
Just an update on the triathlon...Lexus IS-F is a choosable car.
Thank-you
 
Too many cars for me to pick (head explodes). Someone recommend something to me lol
 
Next Tuesday will be Muscle Cars 455PP

American Heavy Metal Power cars from the 50s, 60s, and 70s

Chargers, Challengers, Camaros, Corvettes, Chevelles...etc..

Super Speedway
 
Thanks to Viper4505 We have our rally course!
For those participating go to my shared courses and download it right away!
It may not look like much for a rally course, but you'll have to drive it to find out why it is chosen for the Muscle Car triathlon.
 
Moved because it isn't exactly a series...entirely new challenges await every week.
 
Was gonna compliment Jo on the banner, and then I discovered it was from Cheese, so nicely done Common :P

Try centering the banner Jo :P
 
What tires for Muscle? And is it snow or dirt? I haven't checked the course yet but you should clarify what it is here (you've listed dirt in some and snow in another post)

Looks great - That banner is sweet.

I'll try and make some tracks - Hopefully some get included in future triathlons :)

First order of business is a much shortened "Curves" track - Please put it on share so I can grab it.
