I don't see what's wrong with the way things are now, the top drivers compete for the top places, surely that's how championships work?

Afterall, you still get 101 points for P32 in Grid 1, that's a lot. Noone is just gonna run away with either championship in this, we even closed up the points system more than it was before, even if we did remove success ballast.

Quote from Fordman :

No success ballast, but I thought this would make the racing closer in the long run, otherwise you might get 1-2 Aliens running away with it. It will level the playing field over the series

Fordie

It's hard to have a success ballast system with two grids though.

Updated standings following Round 4.

The top 9 drivers in the standings are still mathematically eligible for the driver's title.

The top 5 teams in the standings are still mathematically eligible for the team's title.

Results now official!

Your change will be applied from R5 onwards.

Quote from Flame CZE :

Is it possible to enter the race without having a laptime set in the qualifying, in case there are less than 31 drivers qualified? I'm asking because I won't be home before Sunday and I'd like to drive at least one round

Yes, it is.

Quote from OTone :

Why only 6 rounds?

Isn't 6 enough?

Quote from josemspain :

Do you think the introduction of a second grid for slower drivers would be good?

What's considered slow driver?

Drivers who pre-qualify/qualify outside the first 32 like we saw in Round 1 and 2.

Genuine Racing is happy to announce that another 3 automatic entry slots have been filled for the 9 hours of Aston Historic reversed later this year!

The #8/58 slot will go to [TC] Racing who may choose if they want to field a GT1 or GT2 entry.
The #9/59 slot will go to ineX Racing who may choose if they want to field a GT1 or GT2 entry.
The #57 GT2 slot will go to CoRe Racing.

Many responses already! Keep them coming, everyone!

Thank you, we're trying our best!

And just for everyone's information, the last text-based question in the poll is meant to be for improvement suggestions/constructive criticism.

This poll is directed at people who did compete in the Genuine Racing Grand Touring Masters. It is mostly made up of multiple choice questions, so it's easy to get through and doesn't take long.

You can find the link to the poll here.

The link to the public poll results can be found here.

Happy voting!
