Game Required: Gran Turismo 5
Notice: Special thanks to
Matthew Schofield for suggesting the car, most of the tracks, and doing the bulk of the testing.
Introduction
Welcome to the very first RaceDepartment GT5 Championship. It aims to put the skills learnt in the club events to the test. You will be driving in a more competitive environment as there are points up for grabs in every race. At the end of each series the best driver will be crowned champion!
However, with added competition comes added responsibility. While you do not need to be an uber pro in order to take part, the expected standards are high. Every driver is expected to follow the rules and regulations at all times, and those that don't will be penalised accordingly. Ignorance is not an excuse!
There will be twelve (12) positions available for this championship and it is open to all licensed members. However, the staff reserve the right to decide who will actually participate based on a number of criteria such as:
- Driving standards
- Commitment
- Participation in Club events
- Participation in previous Championships
Drivers & Teams
RDGT5C S1 is for single driver entries only.
Vehicles & Liveries

exactly in order to be eligible for the championship. If your vehicle is found to be in breach of these regulations or using unapproved upgrades, you will be immediately disqualified from the championship. You may also be banned from future championships.
You may paint your car whatever colour you like. However, each driver must have a unqiue number. Please specify what number you would like to use when you sign up, making sure that there are no preceeding sign ups asking for the same number. If you request a number that has been requested previously, you will be assigned a number by the staff.

Absense
This is the most important part of the briefing that you need to understand! If you accept the invitation to drive in the championship then we expect you to be present for all races during the season. If you miss an event without giving any notice the staff reserve the right to remove you from the championship. You also risk termination of your licensed member status on RaceDeparment.
Incidents
It may happen that the rules get violated. In such cases it is up to the drivers to report the violation. The staff encourage this and will only investigate incidents that are reported by drivers.
No report = no investigation = no penalty
A report can be sent to the staff by private message. It must always contain:
- The name of the league: RDGT5C S1
- The name of the reported driver (the violator)
- A short description of the incident, without rant. (Include lap number and location on track)
- A video of the incident, if possible. If you are unable to capture replay footage, please be as specific as possible in your description so that the staff can easily find and review the incident using their own replay.
You must always send the report with your own forum account. You can only send a report if you were actually in the race. Reports from outsiders will be not be considered. After the sending of a report the staff will then investigate the incident. Incomplete reports will not be considered.
Reports must be sent within 24 hours of the of the race ending. Reports that are submitted too late may not be considered.
Championship Regulations
The Championship Regulations are laid out in a document for the 2011 seasons. As the Championship Regulations differ slightly to the Club rules,
everyone must read them before signing up. You must also read the Event Format Rules as they are imperative to ensuring that events work correctly.
