Gran Turismo 5 League Australia/NZ

[MrPing]

So this is how the races work:

the races and registration will be posted in our forum, in the GT5 section, if you are registered for the League you will get notified of upcoming events and will be provided the link to register to the Race.

3 days before the race day, we will open a practice server for you to meet other racers and get used to the track, learn some tips from other races, tune your car and plan your race (this is completely optional, and we understand people don't always have the time).

On race day, the server will be open 1 hour before the race, so you can go in and warm up or join at your leisure, 30 min before the race practice starts (qualifying on races over 15 laps) and rules go on. 5 min before the race track is closed and you should go to the toilet and get your beer. Race starts and away you go.

Race rules/regulations may vary for each race and they will be posted in our forum.

That is how the league will run, and we will have a parallel endurance series going if you can commit more time.

All races are casual (except for the endurance series) and you can participate on as many as you wish, but remember, we have limited spots on each race so register for the race you want to join.

do you allow people who suck at racing?

do you allow people who suck at racing?

yes, you can suck as much as you want, that is what the casual races and practice sessions are for, getting used to GT5 and get better at it, run with more experienced drivers and learn the ropes, and if you feel ready, join the endurance races and get ready to sweat!

Again, we are a community and we help each other out, except when the green lights go and then you become the enemy.

Can we sign up now and then pull out later for whatever reason? Decided not to preorder the game, but definitely getting it!

No problems, just let us know if you're not going to make it so we can give the spot to someone else.

Again, it is all casual.
