What did the DLC add? I'll be honest, I haven't fired up GT5 is a while. I'd like to join in for Season 3, but don't have the time to practice and race each week. If the format works that I can race every other week then I'd love to join a team.

With the addition of new tracks and possibly new SGT cars, I am definitely in for season 2. Any chance of adjusting the start time of races? Still Saturday 4pm EST?

I´m all for it.
Just need to sort out moving to another city, but that´s about it.

I hate to be annoying and all, but how are we going to do this?
We have to make a decision soon, so I'll put it to you guys.

- When do you want to start? Do you want a shortened season or do you want to hold back until next year and have a full season without interruptions?
- Do you want to have teams?
- Should weapon attachments be fair game?

Annoying? Nah
We could start next weekend, after the DLC and when Spec II hype has gone a little and we're more focused?
About the lenght of the season, I was thinking perhaps something like... 8 races, 2 or 2.5 months could be good.
Teams, teams... hard decision. If more than 16 people apply then I don't know, but if we're 16 or less I think we could do teams of 2 or 3 and have everyone race all races. It could be fun.

I think we should start in 2 weeks, there is no point waiting around until next year because that mistake was made last time and people lost interest. 8-10 races is probably a good shout for season length but it depends if we are rolling on a weekly or bi-weekly system I guess. As far as teams go, I think if we can get a an even number of people then we have teams of two on the grid each week, more than 16 people though and I guess we have to do teams anyway and rotate.
Right, I'm thinking we go with 8 races instead of the 10 originally planned and stick with the teams/drivers we have already (provided they are willing and available, new entries welcome of course). We start next week, with practice this Sat.
Races would be on:
Oct: 22nd, 29th
Nov: 5th, 12th, 19th
Dec: 3rd, 10th, 17th
Sound good?

Not actually that important
Hey Mush, great work!
I'd love to join in the online fun, but I need to ask a couple of questions:
1) is the OP updated? For example, is voice chat still not required? If it isn't, is voice chat on during races as well or only in the lobby (I think races should be smoother without voice chat)?
2) I'd need to do a lag test with you guys before committing on a league. My problem is not the bandwith, which with 7Mbps should be more than enough, but with latency. From Italy and on wifi plus it's heavily dependable on traffic (time of the day). I find that it also depends a lot on the game's netcode (not talking about inherently bad ones), since my online is perfect on Motorstorm Apocalypse and Mario Kart Wii, good on Killzone 3 and MW2 but awful (most of the times) with Forza 3's matchmaking (although at the time I was on a 3.5Mbps line). Far from me wanting to ruin your races (and not have fun myself), I'd love to have a go at online racing with the bunch of you first and then you guys could let me know how it went and if I'm allowed to join the league or not.
Is there a way we could arrange this?
Btw, my PSN profile is dashkap.
P.S.
Sorry for the crosspost guys.

If you haven't yet, please add the PSN ID GAFsuperGT so you can join our lounge.
If you reserved a car and formed a team already back in April, please post in this thread if you still wish to compete with you chosen car/teammate. This will help Angst and I decide if we are to stick with the teams format or change to a free-for-all type competition.
The list of previous registered teams as well as a racing etiquette article can be found here and here.

I had a team with Seks, I don't know if he wants to continue, and I don't know if I will be able to make the time. I want to race, but the time is so screwed up for me *grrr* Anyway, if I can get Mondays off work I should be in, but I won't know about that until next week at the earliest.

I'm still in and I would still like to race with the same car. I haven't seen brentech around here a lot lately, but I obviously wouldn't mind him being my partner again. I wouldn't mind having a new one either, even if it was a rookie
No, sadly I don't think he will be able to due to work.Niks said:
Remember guys, we're planning on starting next week so if you lack a car and a teammate to drive it with, post in here and we'll sort you out.
I'll post a preliminary race calendar later on. Spa will feature on it but it won't be until later on into the championship to give people time to purchase the DLC.

I more hour. I'll try to join but can't promise anything.
Of wait, is this just practice in an hour or the race itself?

Gahh! I WANT TO PLAY!!!
Somebody get me a PS3!
With me moving to a different city and all i´ll probably only fix my PS3 situation in one month. Hopefully Season 2 will wait for me.
If that´s not the case i´ll try to join in progress.
