Series "Spirit"
The GT Challenge is a series of roll-a-car-class races designed to replicate the lineups of different Gran Turismo race series. That is, if you entered eg. the FF challenge in Gran Turismo, you would expect to find the usuals like a Toyota Yaris, a Mitsubishi FTO, a Honda Accord and probably something like a Peugeot 206.
The car packs are tested and curated and fairly even in performance, but that's all. Just like Gran Turismo, some are better than others simply because I will not spend weeks balancing on horsepower and weight. You must deal with this as an entrant.
The packs are balanced by driving laps around two representative tracks which I will decide on later. One kinda quick and one more technical so balance is well revealed.
The packs range from the aforementioned FF cup to full race cars. Pack size may vary, but kept rather small to avoid too much balancing work (for me).
Note for the Assetto Corsa tryhards that will look at the mods and start whining about tires not being the same or horsepower or driver aids and what not - the pack is balanced exclusively on LAPTIME. Some cars may have street tires. Some cars may have slicks. It doesn't matter. They produce a laptime that make them competitive with each other which is all that matters.
Race Format
Two races, 15 minutes each +1 lap. First race grid is settled by quali, second is full grid reverse of the race 1 result.
Single 8 minute qualifying session.
Series Rules
- The only unknown factor for each race weekend will be which car pack is being run.
- An hour before each race, the car pack will be rolled on a Twitch stream @ https://www.twitch.tv/rbdk52. Wheel of misfortune style.
- The server will go up ASAP after the roll. That obviously means that you have deduced correctly there is no practice server.
- You have a free choice of car in the pack. You are free to test different cars in the hour leading up to quali, but whichever car you are in when the server rolls onto quali is the car you will be racing for the round, no exceptions.
- There will be one more pack for the points rounds than there are rounds leaving even the final round uncertain
- There will be a stupid bonus round at the end probably, no points for this one, with the final car pack
- Don't drive like an idiot, and pay attention to the flags.
- Don't flip Marko Tulska. Unless it's Flip Marko Tulska Day or if flipping him would be really funny.
- Feel free to run wide on corner exit, just expect to be called a faggot and insulted in public especially if you wreck someone because of it.

How Do I Connect to the Server?
Server will be WAT: GTC and the pass is 4ch
Restart Procedure
Race will be restarted if needed. But probably not.
Skins Guideline
Due to the nature of the series, this makes no sense. So no skins for this one, particularly because it will be mostly road cars.
FAQ
- Presence on Mumble is not mandatory, but highly encouraged. If you're not on mumble at the very least pay attention to the AC chat.
- While the series is open for anyone to join, please practice until you feel comfortable around the track before joining the race.
