that looks like two fine grids, Garcia and DeBruin will team up to form "Team Black Flag", lol.

Indeed, we are team mates under "The Black Flags" team name...

After being delayed due to the recent problems with the PlayStation Network, the inaugural RDGT5 Championship is finally back on track. It will feature the extremely nimble, racing modified Lotus Elise 111R. It's high power to weight and excellent grip make it exciting to drive for both novices and experts alike.

The racing will take place on some of the worlds most famous tracks such as the long, sweeping Suzuka and the tight, technical Côte d'Azur. With eight rounds spread over four race meetings, the championship is fairly short but is sure to deliver some excellent racing.

Places are limited so don't hesitate to sign up as soon as possible!

Great game that deserves the championship as any other hardcore sim. I like the selection of tracks because they are from real world and that they differ one from another. The car is easy to handle so I expect it will be interesting till the end.

This thread is for discussing the registration for the RDGT5 Championship not the game itself, besides crappy games don't sell over 5 million copies in their first 12 days on sale.

Off topic :
This game - as we know - have sold itself, I mean, every GT fan bought it just because of the name, but lot of people resold it and disappointed in the title ...
On ...

Which part of "This thread is for discussing the registration for the RDGT5 Championship not the game itself" did you not understand?

UMC 22 · May 31, 2011

^^ Exactly. If you hate the game then that's fine, but this isn't the place to post about it. We have an entire forum dedicated to GT5 general discussion, so go and post there if you feel that you have something useful to say.

Tonight the RaceDepartment GT Champshipn season four finale will be held on the Motorsport Arena in Oschersleben Germany. Who will become the fourth GT champion?

The season started on the Nurburgring a few weeks ago where polish ace driver Marcin Skrzypczak took the victory for the Roaring Pipes Maniacs sim racing team closely followed by his team mate from The Netherlands Peter Duivelaar.

One week later both drivers repeated the process on Brno where they got company by Black Visor Motorsport pilot Ross McGregor, who brought his BMW M3 GT2 home in third position.

During the Valencia GP in Spain it was Peter Duivelaar who dominated the race and where we saw Rami Kaukola finishing in second position. Just one week earlier he entered the championhip in group 2 and directly promoted after a green light to finish flag victory. Marcin completed the podium.

Last week the BMW M3's raced in Monza where it was another victory for Marcin who took the maximum points and strengthned his championship lead.

Tonight still three drivers can claim the championship title. Marcin, Peter and Ross will drive like chased by the devil himself to secure one of the most prestigeous titles that can be won here at RaceDepartment.

Peter Duivelaar driving for the Roaring Pipes Maniacs sim racing team did it again. He added another title to his already impressive list of championships that this young Dutchman has under his belt. In the last lap of a thrilling season it was not his dominantly leading team mate Marcin Skrzypczak but Boy Wonder who squeezed his BMW M3 GT2 over the finish in leading position.

The entire season Marcin Skrzypczak collected victory after victory but disaster struck in the last lap of the race in Oschersleben. An unfortunate disconnection threw the Polish star driver back from 1st to 14th position handing over the title to his team mate Peter Duivelaar who has been on his tail for five rounds in a row and is rapidly becoming one of the most successful champions in RD history. Ross McGregor finished third overall and earned a bottle of champagne as well.

Earlier this year the teenager already claimed the title in the Chevrolet Camaro Cup and the World Touring Masters proving that he can be lightning fast with any car in any type of simulation.

We congratulate Peter Duivelaar for winning the RD GT Championship and also the RPM team for winning the team championship.
