Sounds good
About that FF car... only one I see at mygranturismo that might even remotely is the Alfa Romeo Brera (http://www.mygranturismo.net/car_sheet.php?id=20) but I dunno, I don't think it qualifies May I suggest the 8C Competizione as it's quite similar to the ISF (at least in the numbers) and it looks/sounds awesome?
The car list looks like the typical NRL race by now
Not a bad thing at all.

Tuning prohibited or a PP limit?
Trial Mountain Vs Race
<IMAGINE A PIC HERE>
Everybody is welcome to join.
BUT: practice and make sure you know the track and the car before the race, clean racing is a must in the weekly races.
Race starts in:
Allowed cars:
Tyre Selection
Race procedure:
Additional rules:
Standing start
Always make sure at least one pair of wheels are inside the white lines! Using the run-off areas as "long-cuts" or short-cuts is not allowed and will be strictly enforced. Missing a brake point and thus overshooting into run-off areas is ok, but when you rejoin the track you must wait until cars close behind you has passed. Missing a brake point is a mistake and should lead to you having less speed out the corner, not more.

So sorry about the last race, been a long day ended up in the wall in the first lap thanks to my brother and I couldn't be bothered to finish the race with so many distractions. Completely my fault for thinking I can take up Sunday night on the main TV in the living room. Not sure I can race this week.
By the way can someone please upload or PM me the replay for the last race. Would be much appreciated.

The cars are pretty much not at the same BHP / Weight, but IMO they have different advantages and should make for an interesting race. I'm pretty sure I'll use the Fairlady, but haven't decided yet.

Does a first oil change count as tuning?
In the OP two different time formats are used am/pm GMT and 24hrs CET ( with 1 hour difference between them) ,perhaps only one could be used to help avoid confusion?

Racing Hards? Don't we normally limit it to Sports tires for street cars? The Nissan Z is going to get chewed up, it's too underpowered and is hurt the most by the terrible transmission gearing on stock cars.

Pointless. paskowitz and Ashk will still be 1st/2nd (not in any specific order).

Not a good idea in my experience. We've had a lot of practice races before where the fastest players start in the back and it only adds unnecessary confusion and frustration during the first lap as fast players try to overtake slow players and slow players get nervous and make mistakes. And it really wouldn't have any effect on the result either.
I liked the idea we were throwing around a while back, where the top finishers would get a weight penalty. Say +200kg for 1st, +100kg for 2nd/3rd.

Not actually that important
WTF why am I so late?Angst said:
reserve spot.
M3.
The only problem I have with top 3 starting from the back is wtf am I supposed to do during quali I agree that in ideal circumstances those 3 will most likely end up at the front quickly, but it adds a bit of uncertainty in the form of potential damage while fighting through the field, and I guess it makes things a bit more exciting at the beginning.
I liked that one event we did where we had two races and the second was reversed grid of the first one's results. But maybe this would take too much time if we have two 45 minute races and I wouldn't really want to make races much shorter.

I like it too. Maybe we could even do a 1 lap race/quali in which we finish like in the last race and we do reverse grid order or something like that... I'm not sure it can be done though
Doing it only for the first 3 guys leaves them at a disadvantage... against me, lol.
If we didn't use Tuning prohibited we could also use ballast, which I think would be the ideal thing to do.

Im ok with reverse grid order... GP2 had something like that, right?
Even random grid order is acceptable... But penalize 1 or 2 guys just because they are good enough...

I don't like the reverse grid thingie at all. I think it would only lead to more confusion on the few first corners with average drivers making more mistakes and potentially damaging other cars. I also don't see the point, after a couple of laps the fights would still be the same as always only with ashk or pasko maybe switching positions based on how much luck they had with colliding newbies and such.
Super GT's rules (ballast) would be much better but of course you'd need to allow tunining and hope everyone is honest about it

It is possible to use ballast penalty and monitor it. We just set the minimum weight at for example M3 weight + 100 kg, then the guy with 100 kg ballast enters the track. After he has passed through requirements check in the game we lower the min weight to normal M3 weight and let everyone else enter track. Lowering the min weight won't boot the guys already on track (as long as they're not in a lighter car than the min weight). It's a bit of a pain with more than one car type though and I'm not sure it's worth the hassle.Dash Kappei said:I don't like the reverse grid thingie at all.

put your car in one of the corners and watch the quali?ashk said:The only problem I have with top 3 starting from the back is wtf am I supposed to do during quali

I'd like adding ballast to make races closer but yeah, it can be a bit of a pita.
