GT5 Touring Car Championship on Tuesdays

AIR-AUSSIE

Right lads, to complement Kev_PS3's Championship on the weekend I'm thinking of hosting a Championship for midweek. I was thinking Tuesdays at 9.

We could start with a Touring Car type Race on Monza. An easy track to start.
It'll be a one car race for the first one anyway. This car will be chosen from the online garage so nobody will need to buy a car. I might widen the field to two or three in the following rounds.

FIRST RACE TONIGHT @ 2100.

Lobby Name: AIR-AUSSIE Brds Touring Car Championship
> Search for it in open lobby or go to my profile to find it.

Qualifying starts 2030.

30 minute session.
Fastest goes on pole. I will give a 3 minute count down to the race so as to give people a chance to get a flying lap in.


Length: Two races of 5 laps (Reverse Grid for second race*)
Car: VW Golf V GTI '05
Circuit: Monza

* I'm not exactly sure how this works so it may not work will see what happens.






Restrictions:
No Tire Restrictions - I'd recommend racing softs as the race is fairly short.
No additions or weight reductions allowed.
You may tinker with your car set-up as much as the default car allows.

If any one is interested let me know my PSN is jebuslives.

Current Competitors:

Given the car that's being used and the day that's in it I'll have to give this a go, my id is brennarj1...

Edit, I already have a modified version of this in my garage, are there any restrictions on weight, tyres etc?

MuddyDog

I'm in

Is it just a stock golf from the arcade selection ? If so then put me down for this
"ekztrakto"

AIR-AUSSIE

Right lads, the plan was to use the VW Golf in the online garage menu. So no race modifications. I am not at my PS3 at the moment so I'm not sure of the exact model but I'm nearly certain there's only one.

Everyone in the same car. To see if we get closer racing and so nobody has to buy a car.

Sorry I didn't make it very clear. I'll add everyone to my PSN tonight before the race. The lobby should be open @ 2030 tonight.

Ad me, meath77

AIR-AUSSIE

Added you meath77 - you're already on my friends list too.

Right we have ten definite racers. I think thats enough maybe 2 more max. Every one happy with the set up?

Yes it is just the stock gti. A Golf IV GTI RM '01 I believe.

Paparazzo

Format sounds good, same car race will be interesting. 5 laps is perfect too. Can you pick any tyres for online garage cars?

AIR-AUSSIE

I think you can as far as I remember.

Doc_Savage

Are you sure about the race modified golf being in the online garage?

MuddyDog

Golf V GTI 2005 is the only Golf in the online garage so I presume that's the one we are all gonna use?

twinsen

Guys? any clarification in regards to the car?

Good races this evening lads. Happy enough here with the wins!!

Doc_Savage

Had great fun racing with Jebus lives in the first race. Had fun in the second race with phoenixknight I think. I got rammed from 2nd to last in the first race and was guilty of cutting a corner while in third on the second race which was my own fault! And for the record the race was much better with the penalties on strong!

Paparazzo

That was deadly. I think having penalties on "weak" is better. I crashed out and went across a sand trap, cost me lots of time and on top of that I got a 10 second penalty!

The zondas were good after the slow golfs, would be funny doing a zonda race where everyone had to use zero traction control. Good doing a few races, 5 laps is ideal. Good work jebus!

tonydude

good races alright lol you assigning points to those results jebus

How many of us were using wheels?

AIR-AUSSIE

Results above. I only recorded results for the first two races.
Micka-lowry is off my friends list anyway :rolleyes: Its stupid that the host can't kick people.

Had a good night racing lads even if I finished last. Something to improve on I guess.

Btw I don't know who DOHC2000E is. Think I added him from gtplanet or something. He wasn't invited from boards but was on my friends list. He probably won't be back again...

I don't think Monza was ideal for racing as the corners could be cut quite heavily.

I guess we'll decide on a different car and circuit next week with heavy penalties.

I'll sort out points later. Anyone have any opinions on how to make it better? Seems to work quite well, everybody raced relatively cleanly I think. I may have rammed cossie once or twice but I think he did the same:pac:

grant going the wrong way did help either :pac:

My car didn't think so when you drove down the wrong way (wrecked my lap time) and head on into my car :mad: where am I going to find a panel beater this hour of the night

It was qualifying.
And from the looks of it you ruined a couple of laps including mine. People wanted you kicked so I asked you to leave, you didn't. We all fun actually racing not acting the bollox.

I will leave it to a vote with the other lads whether your result counts or not.

I haven't really thought about it too much yet. Maybe 7 or 8 rounds? I don't mind really. Good idea with the prizes if you're happy to offer them up.

I'll think about further rounds in coming days. i'd like a discussion here about it anyway as I'm making it up as I go along really

Mine too, last thing you expect to see is the front end of a golf coming straight at you.

i wouldn't even count my result... my driving was bad and i couldn't go into my car settings for some bizarre reason... only wanted to adjust the brakes !

Wasn''t he a DNF meaning zero points going by GT5 rules

Exactly, i was going without tc, and still couldn't catch up, i guess you were going on a perfect line. Usually I dont use TC as it slows down the car. Zonda one I was going with TC 2 but i was 28 second behind, crazy. I really need to but some steering wheel ;-)
