Vehicles & Liveries

Vehicle Regulations Thread

This is a single model championship using a racing modified Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Your vehicle must meet the vehicle regulations exactly in order to be eligible for the championship. If your vehicle is found to be in breach of the regulations or using unapproved upgrades, you will be immediately disqualified from the championship. You may also be banned from future championships.

All drivers must use a unique number and colour for their car. These must be stated when you register for the championship, ensuring that you do not choose a number and colour already reserved by another driver. In addition, you may not choose any number between 1-10. If you do choose a previously reserved number or colour then the staff will assign you one instead.


Shakedown

There will be one or more shakedown events held before the championship begins. All championship participants are obligated to attend these events as they are designed to detect the connection issues that some users have with GT5. If you suffer from these problems and they cannot be resolved then you may be asked to give your position in the championship to a reserve driver.

Shakedown: Grand Valley Speedway - 8th January 2012

Absence

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 a round without giving at least two days notice then the staff reserve the right to remove you from the championship. You also risk termination of your licensed member status at RaceDeparment.


Championship Regulations

Championship Regulations Thread

The Championship Regulations are laid out in a document for the 2012 seasons. As the regulations differ from the club rules, everyone must read them before registering.
 
Does anybody know what are the "default upgrades" for this car? I'm not sure if i've made any upgrades to my car (has been in my garage for more than 6 months, so it is kinda hard to remember). It has 708 bhp and 1100 kg nowadays.

You must of Race Modified it because all you need to do now is use the Power Limiter to get back under 700 bhp and your car should be legal.

Default is about 630 bhp and 1500kg.
 
Vitor is right, simply being within the power and weight limit does not make your car legal for this championship. There are a number of upgrades that can change the overall performance of your car without actually affecting the power/weight itself.

I will check my brand new RM'd car later and post the default upgrades it comes with.
 
No. It is on a first come first serve basis.

This is not entirely true. As stated in the championship information, it is up to the staff who is finally invited to take part.

For the most part it is first come, first served. However, performance and attendance in RDs racing clubs and leagues (not limited to the GT5 community) will be taken into account. In addition, the shakedown will also be a consideration because it will highlight any connection problems that some users may have. If these cannot be resolved then the driver may be asked to give their place in the championship to a reserve driver.

Assuming this championship is a success, a qualification event may be considered in the future if there significantly more registrations than grid spots.
