Welcome to the first GT5 NeoGAF Racing League. It is my intention to make this a friendly competition, while at the same time maintaining the thrills and emotions
real race drivers face on similar competitions. This will be a team race league, you are allowed to partner with friends or make a mixed team with random gaffers.
All players, of all skills, are encouraged to join as long as you are committed to do a clean race and above all, to have fun.
Keep in mind that nothing on this thread is final, and it will most likely go through changes. Any feedback is more then welcome.
»»»»»» REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!! ««««««
To register into the NRL all you have to do is fill out this form:
NRL Registration Form
You can register even during the middle of the league. We always need new drivers. Just make sure you read all the rules before registering. They're listed below.

NRL Registration Form
You can register even during the middle of the league. We always need new drivers. Just make sure you read all the rules before registering. They're listed below.
General Rules:
- A race will be made of 12 players, 2 players per team, 6 teams on the league.
- Each team must have one captain. It's with this captain that all matters concerning the team will be discussed.
- Members of a team can drive different cars.
- Team colors are encouraged, but it's not mandatory.
- Teams are encouraged to make a small banner (300x60), but it's not mandatory.
- If for some reason a team does not have enough players to participate in a race, substitute drivers will be used, but the team will have a point penalty.
- Races are meant to be taken seriously, don't use other players as breaks, don't block harmless overtakes, don't ram other players.
- The occasional bump WILL happen, and it's perfectly legal, but penalties and even disqualifications will be issued if we think you are harming the race/league.
- Driving Line Off
- No Skid Recovery Force
- No Active Steering
- No ASM
- TCS allowed
- ABS allowed
- Tires: Racing (Any)
- Penalty: Off
- Damage: Light
- Grip reduction: Real
- Server will be a hosted Private Lounge on the PSN account "GT5NRL". Every member needs to add that account to the friends list in order to join the lounge.
- Voice chat will be disabled to save bandwidth.
- Due to a game bug sometimes players get de-synchronized with the server and become invisible. To fix this problem we ask that during the preparation time and before qualifying, when the race organizer says it's time to synch, everyone should enter the race, but NOT go into Free Run mode, remain in the pits. We will then see if players are seeing the full grid or not and ask the necessary players to leave the track and rejoin until everyone is visible. We also ask that to chat as little as possible during this time to avoid confusion.
- Qualifying starts after an announced 1 lap race. We do this to reset the times so that qualifying works with no problems. After that 1 lap race finishes, once you are back in the lounge you can re-enter the track right away and start posting your times.
- Be extra careful during the first lap and specially during the first corner. The track will be packed and it's easy to get into a big crash.
Remember, you'll be ruining the race for someone else as well.
- If a crash happens, when returning to the track, pay attention to see if someone else is passing and don't go immediately into the typical racing line, stay away from it until you gained some decent speed. The same applies when leaving the pits.
- If you are being lapped by a much faster player, don't move aside to let him pass, he's the one that has to overtake you. This doesn't mean however that you should intentionally block him, just keep to your regular driving line.
- If your car is damaged and extremely slow please move away from the regular driving line to avoid further crashes from faster players.
- A race will take place every other weekend on a Saturday.
- Each race will last approximately 1 hour. (5minutes for preparations, 10 minutes qualifying, 30 minutes race)
- Actual race times will change to give everyone a chance to race.
(You can click an event to go to it's respective Preview or check the Race Results and replay files)
(Due to the different time zones, late times, such as 02:00AM, can actually be on the next day, so just click the Schedule in the respective Event to see a proper countdown with the exact date and time)
Team Rankings are based on the sum of each members individual points gained during the races. Individual Rankings are based on the ratio between the number of points gained and the number of races the player participated in. Substitute racers will only gain points for their individual ranking and are not counted towards the team ranking.
