[Rockefella]

Just trying to throw in some ideas.

Good luck, I'm at 90%. Would be 100% if I finished off the Jap manufacturer races and the Mission Hall but I stopped caring.

[shockwaveracing]

yeah i will have a crack at it...

Pagani Zonda C12 I suppose.

Have a competition to post the fastest time on different tracks, regardless of car, tires, mods, all that has to be the same is the track.

Sure, that would sort the best out of the rest, but
1) It would still lead to most drivers using the same car, it would just be the fastest one.
2) On most cars, the power and torque are displayed at the top of the screen when the lap time is displayed. So the engine mods can be restricted at least to some point.

Bi-weekly or monthly themes: For example, on the 5th week, have the track competition, any car etc, just to get the fastest time. Every 10 weeks, have a champions week, taking the winners from those 9 weeks before hand into one competition. (5th week will not coincide w/ 10th week, for the 5's it would be: 5, 15, 25, etc. The 10's would be 10, 20, 30, so on.)

Probably there would be a very small group of winners from just 9 races. Also, it might make the point calculation more difficult.

Wacky ideas like doing the course in reverse, no TCS/ACM/Stability Control, Head to head competions, etc.

I think usage of TCS/ASM can not be controlled in any way, correct me if I'm wrong. Then again the head to head competitions would also make the point calculation quite difficult

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

you can controll TCS/ASM

[twinspark]

you can controll TCS/ASM

I couldn't figure out how. I suppose you're talking about online racing? Everything I wrote in the last message was written considering offline play by submitting laptimes here.

[my porsche]

yeah like cheese said, pm it to you, then when the competition closes post them, and also:
-make them use arcade mode so that the maximum tuning is even and its all up to driver skill
-make them take a picture of the hp/lbft/car name/lap time (i think you said that)
-make them more frequent than a week, i hate it when they last like 5 ddays and you have to wait to do it again

(DEIT)oh yeah im in too

go to the settings menu then find "driving aids" and its in there

[SIMPLETON]

Can you send attachments through PM's? Soon as this is answered I'll start a comp.

Uhm... I think you've all got me wrong, since the beginning I meant that I don't know a way to control whether the competitors use the aids or not.

I have played every Gran Turismo since the first one except for the Consept Tokyo/Geneva (still have them in the bookshelf) so TCS/ASM setup isn't exactly new to me .

Suggestion: You sholdn't be allowed to post anything about your final time in the Competition thread. You should only be allowed to post 'T' times (checkpoint times). Final times should be PM'ed to the person running the competition.

I used to participate in a GT4 competition similar to this one, and this was one of the main rules.

Yeah, I kind of broke that rule when I posted my time was in the high 6's and got it down to around 6:30
