Realistic racing, priceless performance.
This is the beginning of the first season (hopefully) of the ICGTT - the InterContinental Grand Touring Tournament. I hope that GTPlanet members will show their full enthusiasm when it comes to this event. This is just a shout out to an idea that I hope will succeed.
My goal is to try to create the best simulation of real GT events from across the globe using the Open Lobby mechanism in Gran Turismo 5. I will match available cars in Gran Turismo 5 to certain specs of the future, the now, and the past.
RULES
These particular rules hold unless I make a decision to change them based on a change of mind or a suggestion from a member of the GTPlanet community.
There shall be two categories of racing: GT1 and GT2. GT1 cars are known for their exceptional top speed yet poor cornering. This opposite is so for GT2 - great cornering but poor top speed. GT1s are usually a little faster on most tracks, but on very tight tracks, GT2s are the faster.
CAR OPTIONS
This is a list of cars available in this championship:
(FYI what I mean by "Spec'd is tuned faster or slower to match a GT1 or GT2 pace.
GT1
Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce '09 (Spec'd)*
Ferrari Enzo '02 (Spec'd)*
Ford GT LM Spec II Race Car
Corvette Z06 RM
GT by Citroen Race Car*
McLaren F1 Race Car*
Pagani Zonda LM Race Car*
Amuse S200 GT1 Turbo*
Ferrari 458 Italia Tuned*
McLaren MP4-12C '11 Tuned*
Audi R8 LMS Race Car*
GT2
Aston Martin DB9 Tuned
TVR Tuscan Speed Six RM
Chevrolet Camaro (Tuned or RM'd - haven't decided yet)*
Jaguar XKR Tuned*
Corvette ZR1 RM*
Lamborghini Gallardo Tuned
Ferrari 430 Scuderia Tuned*
BMW M3 Tuned
Lotus Evora Tuned*
Dodge ACR-10 Viper Tuned*
Ferrari California Tuned
The cars with * by them indicate I don't have them. Big mistake buying the Formula GT car, I used to have 4 million credits. I'm now down to 500,000. But I'll work it out quick. Trust me, with all of the events in the game unlocked except most of the endurance events, I can put together money REAL quick. But I do need admins. Also, you can choose your car and category from this list, but once you've chosen it, there's no turning back on it. You will have to race it for the rest of the season unless you quit mid-season.
_____________________________________________
That'll be it on the cars. The points system is...
1st: 16
2nd: 15
3rd: 14
4th: 13
5th: 12
6th: 11
7th: 10
8th: 9
9th: 8
10th: 7
11th: 6
12th: 5
13th: 4
14th: 3
15th: 2
16th: 1
I just want to keep it simple that way
.To add to that, if you crash someone out on purpose or not purposefully, you shall be penalized 3 points, and the crashed driver (sorry) gets no points more or less than what he finished to.
IMPORTANT: You CAN quit any time through the season, but you CANNOT quit mid race. I won't allow you back if you quit mid-race. Quitting mid-season will prevent from racing any others races in the tournament this season.
All cars need to be on soft racing tires.
The schedule has not been decided at this moment, but the tracks have been set - almost. If you have any suggestions just post them right here on this thread.
The tracks:
Monza (Weather)
Circuit de La Sarthe (weather/time change)
Laguna Seca
Nurburgring 24h (weather/time change)
Fuji Speedway
Tsukuba Circuit
Suzuka Circuit
Monaco
There will be eight races in the season.
If you are interested in this upcoming (hopefully) season, just post your information in this form...
PSN ID: ________
Category Choice: _____
Car Choice: ___________
Time Zone: ________
Hopefully you can get the car you want. I would suggest to add a secondary car choice just in case you can't get your first wish.
The race settings will, as of right now, be:
Driving Line OFF
Skid Recovery Force OFF
Active Stability Management OFF
Tire/Fuel Consumption ON
Mechanical Damage HEAVY
Anti-Lock Bracking 1
Time Progression 1 (on races with time progression)
I shall give a warning that a race is two days ahead on this thread if we get this idea off and running. I'll open the room for those days and post the room number. You can practice there. Qualifying result process is TBD. Tip: try learning the track first with the driving line on and then with the driving line off after about 30 laps.
Races will be an hour long except the Circuit de La Sarthe and Nurburgring 24 races; they will be 2 hours.
WARNING: YOU MUST BE ABOVE LEVEL 25 TO COMPETE IN THE SERIES. YOU MUST ALSO AGREE TO THE HONOR CODE THAT YOU WILL NOT CHANGE THE SETTINGS ON YOUR CAR. If any trickery is detected, you will be disqualified and never allowed back in any of my events.
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free the post them!
BTW I'll edit this particular post when suggestions/improvements come to me.
ALSO, I NEED SOME ADMINS WHO HAVE PORTIONS OF THE CARS ON THE CAR LIST. Cars with * by them indicate I don't have them. I'm not sure how this whole admin thing works yet, but I'll figure it out. For now, start entering!!!
Cheers,
