Entries closed for round 3 lockout.

Entries will not reopen, as this is the last round of the season.

If you have edits to make, please DM myself and/or Jonathon provost

Schedule has been updated with race distances.

Also, Rounds 3 and 4 have been changed: Round 3 now at Kyoto Ring GP Long with the boothy chicane, and Round 4 is now Westnill International Reversed (without the chicane).

Quote from artimeyo :

18/artimeyo/hugo rodriguez artime/ESP/no team

Number 18 is taken, please select another number.

Quote from Renciss99 :

9/Renciss99/Renars Sprogis/Latvia/no team association

Number 9 has been taken by another driver, please select another number.

Results and points now available following Round 2!

Some participation stats so far:

Round 1 had 63.6% of entrants participate (attempted to qualify), Round 2 had 69.4% of entrants participate. Only 11 drivers on the entry list by Round 2, have not taken to the track in a GT4SC event.

Championship notes:

The drivers championship is mathematically open to the top 9 - 111 points available at a race meeting, between the position points, and bonus points. If Isaac shows up and starts both races, positions 8 and 9 are mathematically eliminated. Other scenarios are too numerous and convoluted to count.

The team's championship is mathematically open to the top 11 - 194 points on offer between the two races. The top 6 are within 70 points, 12 between the top 3 of Race Green Autosports, Team S1DUS, and Born 2 Race.

See you at Rockingham!

To confirm your attendance for Round 3 of the 2024 GT4 Sprint Cup, please give your status for the round (YES I'm attending, or NO I'm not attending), car number, and LFS licence name.

Your confirmation is due by 13:00 UTC on Sunday, 28 January 2024. Failure to confirm by this deadline will result in a 10-place grid penalty.

Passwords will be PMd to confirmed competitors via the LFSForums shortly after the deadline.

YOU MUST POST A CONFIRMATION EVEN IF YOU DO NOT PLAN TO ATTEND!

Use this format (NO SPACES FOLLOWING THE BACKSLASHES!):

yesORno/number/username
yes/1/dekojester

Added a note/reminder to the OP:

IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR ENTRY: Please edit your ORIGINAL post, then quote it, and notify us what detail(s) you changed. Do NOT simply edit the post - there's a high chance we will miss it.

From now on, please do.

Quote from Bokujishin :

In the Signups post, it says we need an S2 license, but isn't Rockingham S3 only?

Yeah, it's going to be S3 needed, I'll fix it.

Entries opened again after Round 2!

UPDATE: Please also provide your Discord username in your entry, after the teamname. If you've already signed up, just edit it into your post above.

Hello racers!

The GT2 Challenge is back for it's 3rd season!

It's become known as a great strategic gamble series - can you stretch tyres to last, or pit for a fresh set and hope you can out-pace the stretch folks? The racing has been fantastic in the first two seasons, and after a brief hiatus, it's back!

The schedule:
4th February: Aston North Reversed (AS7R)
18th February: Rockingham International w/o Chicane (RO7X)
3rd March: Kyoto Ring GP Long w/Boothy Chicane (KY3b)
17th March: Westhill International (WE2)

Those pesky pit stops are still OPTIONAL, so you're free to try whatever strategy you think gets you the best result!

Restrictions remain as 21% for the FZR, 24% for the FXR, and 25% for the XRR.

All races will be streamed live by our good friends at Sim Broadcasts

Attached are the rules for GT2 Challenge 2024. Please review them. The NDR Sporting Code is in effect with this series.

Per the regulations, you are required to run a skin with elements that we provide. For this season, we are providing a sunstrip as an overlay (2048 square), and a numberboard as a PSD file. Please overlay the sunstrip on your livery, and place the numberboard on the following locations:

• Both sides of car, anywhere between the front and rear wheels
  
• On hood
  

Remember that your number plate (set in your game options) must carry your team name or tag. If you are not representing a team, you may leave it blank.

The series logo and the NDR logo are provided for your convenience in the pack.

The Univia Pro font on the numberboard is part of Adobe Cloud - you may substitute that font for any other similar sans serif font if you do not have access to Adobe Fonts

Please post your skins by 16:00 UTC on the Saturday prior to the round, so we can generate a skinpack.

Skinpack updated for Round 2: https://legacy.newdimensionracing.com/skin_texture_packs/GT4SC/GT4SC2024_Skins.7z

Quote from Negrito68 :

Skin for #68. Sorry for the errors

One last item....the name of the skin is too long for LFS. I have shortened the file name for the skinpack to F1A4EF_FLATEAM68_GT4.jpg

If you can make your copy agree with that name, it'll all match and we'll all be good and high-quality. If you name it something else, it'll still download but may be lower quality until we match it in the skinpack, which I'm generating very shortly.

No problem, thanks for responding and fixing

Quote from Negrito68 :

All set! Skin for #68

you'll need to move the number board from the roof to the hood, once that's done it will be good

Quote from Negrito68 :

my humble skin for #68

You need to apply the numberboard and sunstrip provided in the skinkit in the OP to this skin, and resubmit, please.
