Introduction
PURE's first ever series using the popular Stock Cars of NASCAR is the first ever NASCAR series for Gran Turismo 6 on GTPlanet.
Tracing its roots to the old GTP Nascar Sprint Cup series for GT5, hosted by @MustangRyan, this is intended to serve not as a continuation, but as a refresh; with more efficient regulations (but not any more strict), and an emphasis on fun competition, with zero tolerance for drama.
Unlike the aforementioned series, this series is open to anyone who wants to join, with no "team owners" and sign-ups will remain open throughout the entire season. Anyone who is a clean driver can join, even on a part-time basis.
Races will be hosted in a lobby hosted by me. Make sure that MULE_9242 is added on your PSN friends list.
Race Start Time

Car regulations
- Only the 2013 "Gen 6" Nascars will be permitted for use
- Cars will be restricted to the following horsepower limit and tire compound for each different type of track
- You may NOT use any other tire compound (softer or harder) other than the one listed for that specific track
Racing Rules
- NO CAUTIONS - use this as an extra motivation to RACE CLEAN
- Two tires must remain in contact with the track at all times.
- At Daytona and SSRX, the "apron" (area between the bottom yellow line and the grass/paved runoff) is NOT track and you may NOT run on it to make a pass.
- On road courses, curbing/rumble strips and most hard surfaces attached to white boundary lines are track; different considerations may be made at certain tracks.
- Concrete patches, "greencrete", or turf and other run off is not considered to be track.
- When exiting pit road, you may merge onto the racing line as soon as it is safe to do so. You must make certain that you will not impede any other cars while merging. Harsh penalties will be applied to those who cause an accident while exiting the pits.
- The same thing applies for drivers rejoining the track after spinning or otherwise leaving the racing surface.
- Lapped Drivers may not impede the progress of the lead lap cars. They may, however, choose to help a lead lap car by bump drafting, etc.
- Bump drafted is permitted on all tracks, provided it is safe to do so.
- If you cause an accident for any reason that causes another driver to spin out, you must wait for all affected drivers to rejoin the track, and allow them to overtake you before returning to race speed. Doing so proves it was unintentional, and will lessen any penalties applied to you.
- Slight bumping and rubbing is inevitable and permitted, but intentionally punting a driver out of the way ("bump-and-run") to overtake him, or worse, intentionally spinning him out, is strictly prohibited. Penalties will be applied for any and all punts, and there will be zero tolerance for dumping another driver.
- If you have any issue with another driver, either send that driver a PM, or send a PM to @Müle @Niop or @Wardez
- Any insults or drama that are brought to the main thread will be reported, deleted, and participants ejected from the series without hesitation.

Teams

Rolling Starts
- Every race (Except SSRX) will have a formation lap and rolling start.
- The formation lap is used to sort all cars into proper grid order before the race
- The pole sitter chooses which lane he wants before the race starts. The 2nd place car will lead the lane not chosen.
- All other cars will be in their assigned lane regardless of which lane the pole sitter chooses. Odd numbered cars will start on the inside, Even numbered cars on the outside.
- The start is not staggered; 1st and 2nd will start directly beside each other, as will 3rd and 4th, 5th and 6th, etc.
- Maintain a pace speed of 60 mph / 100 km/h
- Absolutely no weaving on the formation lap; it does more harm than good
- Unless otherwise noted, the start line in the game will be where the polesitter accelerates
- You may not attempt to pass any car in your lane until you cross the start line (don't jump out of line except to avoid a wreck)
- Races at SSRX will start at the 1000 meter line.

Retirements- If a driver wants to give up, under a non-emergency situation, they should find clear track (no cars) and proceed safely to the pits.
- Park your car in the stall by pushing "start" as you're entering pit lane.
- Do not simply push start after you decide to quit and leave it be.
- This causes your car to become a potentially dangerous moving obstacle. This will be grounds for a disqualification for the race and possible follow up penalties.
