Well, folks, we're finally here - week 1 of the GT Racing League. It's been a bit of a hard slog for me, but I made it.

I thought you all might like to start off with a fairly easy track, just to get you into the swing of things.

THE RACE: Trial Mountain - 5 laps. Enter Single Race mode, then Hard, and choose Trial Mountain.

THE RULES:

1. No hybrids
2. No wall riding
3. No shortcuts
4. No cheating
5. Save your replay
6. If possible, upload your replay onto the forums
7. A photo of your time is not required, but can be added if you like.
8. Please, NTCSers, don't use any of the 900hp + monsters
9. Hitting the wall is allowed, but obviously it will slow your time.
10. Running wide is allowed, but obviously it will slow your time.
11. The rumble strip is considered part of the track.
12. Have fun.
(If you think any more rules should be added here, PM me.)

THE DEADLINE: The dealine for your time to be in is Sunday, midnight, your time (meaning that you can race til 11:59 your local time then give me your time). To help you - although I personally have no idea how to use it - you can use www.worldtimezone.com.

Testing will be held on the Free Run version of the course, with the actual race being held in the Hard Single Race mode. You can run the race as many times as you like to get the best time possible.

Testing officially starts now, and will finish on Friday, with racing time being all weekend.

In this competition you will be allowed to discuss your T1, T2 and T3 times but not all of them together.

"Nothing shakes the mountain like V8s!"

Sorry, couldn't resist. Let's see how many Aussies/Kiwis get that. ;)

Have fun!

Nah, we all use the 829hp F1s, and testing is now til Friday, with racing time all weekend.
 
Anyone else interesting in running the F090-S (NTSC folks)?

It's the lowest HP (690, 725 once it's run in), but the best lookin' :lol:

I know I'll get slaughtered, but it'll be a more enjoyable drive. If someone else would like to drive the F090, I'd love some even competition. :trouble:

Who's game?
 
Im runing the Fo9o/s do i have to run the qualifier?
can i jus race this? Sand?
 
Roll and eyes.

I'm going to try out the F094/H, it seems very simmilar to the P001 anyway and has the same power.
 
well, I currently only have one f1 in myu possession now due to a mem card corruption. . . it is the F 688 I believe, I'll check its stats, if not time to get another one.

ok it has 789HP so looks like I'm in, but not going to be too competitive :lol:
 
Have you done the qualifyer yet?
 
I got 1
poly 001
poly 002
and another poly 001
they are 813 for the first 001
812 for the 002
and 813 for the other 001 ( doh obviously ! ) I have ran over 500 in each of them - Wheres me 829 monster ?? think I might need to do an enduro !! shudnt be much in it though 829 over 813 ? I mihgt need that extra BHP though - you never know !!

U r UK right ? How come you have F094/H and not the Polyphony ones ???
 
OK I just ran the course to see how it is - very very quick but the point of my post is this
rules 9 and 10 :confused:
on the last and first couple of corners you can actually skip the grass if you go straight over it - I just want to be clear that that is allowed ?
I wudnt want to be trying to make the turn if others are skipping the grass ( not saying here that anyone does but I spose u can see where Im coming from ?? )
Any thoughts ??

Well if you have an X-Port you can access those cars, the only problem with them is that they are without a body. So I just put the P001 and P002 on the respective F0 whatever models.

I will be posting my replays anyway (because I am not cheating) and if anyone wants my save they are welcome to use it. I'm just kinda sick of using the 2 same F1 cars over and over again.

These rules seem to contradict each other. I would ly more on the side of no shortcuting 2 wheels on the track.
 
How fast are we getting some hotlaps everyone? I finally got under a minute at this track but its hard to consecetively hit good laps. I think trial mountain is one of the hardest f1 courses due to all the elevation changes and banking. Still things are coming along ok here. I'm running the 94s with 829hp

By the way if someone only has an 86M or 87S I think we should let them run it with those cars. Even with the added hp they have worse handling and even acceleration, the only tracks they can beat the 94s on is super speedway and test track.
 
Damn... still need to register :( I think I'll be able to get in by the next race.

Hey, can you keep the first couple of races in the first couple tracks avaliable in one player mode? I'm still working on obtaining these coarses :P

Hey, I think it would be more realistic if we got one shot of the actual 5 lap race... We could do the 5 lap race as many times as we want, but we only get one try on Sun, kind of like the actual qualifying in Formula 1. Were one mistake will screw you up... It would just make things more interesting...

And did you consider my way of organizing the driver classes?

Yep, that's it - two wheels on the track at all times.

I've seen a bit of confusion here. I'll check out the QnA thread, but remember it's there if you have any questions.

Thanks for your help, but, not to be rude or abrupt with you, I've already got what I want. Thanks anyway!
 
There you go, read the thread again, concentrating on the red bit.
 
Is anyone up for posting some settings? I see some amazingly fast times here.
 
I ran this last nite and was scared bt how fast it was - Not sure if I'll be able to break the minute barrier but then again I only did 5 or 6 laps
Im not going to post any times I dont think - Might just sit back and amaze you all when I post me final time !! (not)
But then again I might not be able to resist posting !!
this is gonna be FUN !!!!
 
James, you're not allowed to post actual lap times or total times. You can post sector times, though.
 
oops I meant pm my lap time to you when I finish !! Not to post it !!!!!
this needs soo much concentration - Its so quick ! Im determined to break the minute barrier though !
 
OK so we are in F1 cars right - week 10 is monte carlo right
So why not change the order of the races so week two, next week, is at monte carlo - why I hear you ask ???

Because F1 for real is at monte carlo next week !!!! we could simulate an actual race on the sunday !!!!!
Wudnt take much sorting - just swapping week 2 with week 10

What do you reckon ?
(lets beat schumys ass!!!)

and it will add to the real life effect of the F1 championship intended by Storm with the testing in the week and racing at the weekend !!!
 
Great idea, James.

Please, please, please can we race Monaco next week?!
 
I think I might give up on the F090-S, I just took the F094-S out for a spin (It's been in my garage for awhile, but I've never really driven it) ... very nice, very nice..
