Racing Spirit!
Welcome one and all to race 16 of the Weekly-ish Endurance Series!
This one is going to be a little different from the norm, as I am trying to set a dual format race.
For those that dont have the glory that is a PS3 & GT5P, the race will be set up as normal. With tyre wear, pit-stops and the usual strategy.
For those that do have GT5P, there is also the opportunity to do the same race, with the same car and specs.
But as there is no tyre-wear yet in GT5P, the settings will be adjusted to take this into account.
The different versions of the race will be completely separate, as far as results go.
So if you wish to, you can enter both versions of the race and gain points for both, or enter only one. Its up to you!
Settings!

Race type : SINGLE RACE

DEADLINE :

Midnight GMT+1 SUNDAY night, APRIL 20th
RULES:
You must use the settings laid out above at all times.
You must try to keep 2 wheels on the track at all times.
An occasional off is to be expected, but use your judgement and morals to decide if you have gained from it or not. If you have gained, or feel that you have taken an advantage from the off, then please bin the race and re-start.
A.I. contact is allowed, but NO penalties are allowed(GT4).
In the case of the GT5P version, you must use your judgement & morals to decide if the contact was fair, err on the side of caution and stay as clean as possible please, until PD get pens added to the arcade section of the game.
Slight bumps into walls/barriers that DO NOT pull a penalty are allowed (GT4), but in the GT5P version NO wall contact is allowed.
All podium times will be verified by the posting of either a replay or a photo of the screen showing your final time AFTER the deadline is past.
Any suspicious times will be investigated by either myself or where appropriate an NTSC user of my choice.
All decisions of the Administrator (me) are final, any cheating of any kind what so ever, will be dealt with in the appropriate manor.
You may discuss any splits or individual lap times, just not your final times.
Times should be sent to myself (Tyre King) via PM by the above deadline, as marked by the GTPlanet PM system time stamp.
Replays and screen shots should be posted in this thread after that time has passed, if asked for by myself or just if you want to.
Time sending format:
