:banana: ANY GT3 PLAYERS??? :banana:

Looking at holding a Gran Turismo 3 Tournament. Looking to see if anyone would be interested. Here's kinda what I'm thinking...

A couple of TV's, PS2's, beer, and one hell of an afternoon. Let me know if anyone is down. I've got the specifics worked out, I just need the numbers.

Tourney would have a free category, and a money category. Money always makes it fun. So if you think you're any good...


Step Up. :fworld:

I'm in. Do we get to race our own cars?

i might be in.

deffinately drive our own cars too, although we'd have to keep it fair somehow.

oh, and need a couple weeks to get back into it. havent played for months.

It should be limited to certain car classes. Obviously not all of us have everything unlocked.

I have a few ideas to make it fair, and a few to make it interesting...

Here's what I was thinking...

You can enter cars in as many classes as you want...
One car per class...
Classes would run like this...

Under 200 hp (de-tuned Honda's etc)
200-400 hp (Stock EVO's, NSX's, mainly suspension oriented cars)
400-600 hp (Cars with decent balls, Vipers, Vettes, RUF etc...)
600+ (Controlled insane power, GTR, RUF, Built cars...)
Super car class (Non F1 Race cars)
F1 Class (Formula One Open Wheel Race Cars)
Unlimited Class (Any car, No F1 or S cars) (As much or as little HP as you want, For the experienced drivers)

Each player would get to qualify their car in ONE lap at Laguna Seca, then you would be placed in a braket according to your times. This may take a while, but we do have all day...

Then round one would take place at an easier track, and difficulty would increase as the braket continues.

Each race would be 3 laps, head to head, single elimination, no loser brakets (except 3rd Place)

Bets could be placed as you wish, but I was thinking about having a $2 entry fee for each class, 50% of the pot going to the champion, 30% to runner up, and 20% to 3rd.

When we're finished with that, there would be open challenges (GRUDGE MATCHES).

Let me know what you think...

BYOB, We need a decent place (Centralized), With a few PS2's and a few TV's to expedite the process.

I have made a few invitations, but you could even make a DSMStyle event out of it...

I might be in, depends on the day, and what not.

fuck that i have the hand eye cordination of a 6 year old blind kid with no thumbs

Id play... I dont have the game. But I love racing games.

time to pull out the FTO LM, 787B, and the R390 :)

There should be a bone stock class as well. Only mods allowed are oil change and ASM/TCS tuning.

Also, I think we should do some ghost racing. best single hot lap.

Maybe racing medium tires? On the "stock" cars that is.

i'd be down, time be break out the wicked sick 270mph top speed 1070hp lotus :).

I've been in love with the Toyota GT-ONE Road Car since I unlocked it...

What about adding a rally event(s), and making all track selections random like drawing out of a hat.

This tournament would not be for poor people or amateurs at the game, as money would be at stake. I am gathering interest queries, so that I can find a place and a time. I will post specifics in a week or so... If you are still interested... PM ME!!! (JDM)

Fine be that way... have a halo tourney and ill own you all.

Halo??? Bring IT!!!

I'll school all you're asses :fworld:

1040 hp Skyline GTR34 Vspec II

Enough said.

See you fuckers there.

:bs:
bwahahahahaha :lol:

I have cars with half that HP that eat skylines for breakfast. biggest boat ever :jammin:

I think we need deffinitive rules and classes outlined at least a week before the tourny goes down, so we can pick, tune, and practice our cars. Especially if money is involved ;)

Skylines and 3000GT's, 1000hp understeering trash.

You should have an "unlimited" class. Where absolutely anything goes. I would give anyone with any car a 3 lap, yes 3 LAP lead on the giant oval in a 10 lap race. My indy car will ownjoo. 50,000 hp. Like I said... "unlimited", where absolutely anything goes. :D

Rules including intentional wrecking and the like... If we're racing for money I don't want some idiot to have to take me out because that's the only way he'll beat me.

The test oval isn't a race track... Read my sig. :razz2:

LOL, yeah. But where else can you drive a 50,000 hp car? It pops wheelies at 200 mph, and stays that way all the way up to 700 mph. Or else I can pull out the 24,000 hp Lancia Delta for some rally action, or maybe the 9,000 hp ZZII for some road course action.

Only 700MPH? Bust out my Escudo, 44xx mph on your ass, to bad I restarted my game and my new PS2 won't read gameshark.

Two words: salt flats

Well I'm going to try to coordinate something in the next month... Thinking late Jan early Feb so you guys can tune the shit outta your cars...

HERE'S WHAT I HAVE SO FAR...
(still open to suggestions)

1) 500 hp Max Class ©
2) 750 hp Max Class (B)
3) Unlimited Road Car Class (A) No S or Indy
4) Super Cars (S)
5) Unlimited Class (U) Anything goes... Escudo, Indy... etc
6) Rally Class ®

1) No Intentional Crashing... You will auto-forfeit if you intentionally crash into your opponent.
2) Obviously all cars must meet the class requirements. C, B, and A do not include any race prepped decal cars, open wheel cars, or that fuckin Escudo. Just street.
3) S cars are anything decaled.. LM's, Team Oreca.. etc RACE CARS
4) U class will be anything... Open wheel, S Class... 68 hp Suzuki's...
5) $2 Buy in on each bracket... One car per bracket per player...
6) R is obviously Rally Cars, or Road cars with dirt tires that can hang...
7) U class will have a $5 buy in... Winner takes all
8) All other classes... 1st place 50% of buy in, 2nd place 30% of buy in, 3rd place 20%
9) Open betting on all races
10) 3G's suck
11) Anything goes on modding except...

B) NO ASM (also g a y)


WHAT I NEED...

More suggestions and feedback on rules and classes

A bigger place to hold this other than my apartment...

Donations to the "I need a new car" fund... jk


:banana: :banana:

AJ... PM me if you'd be interested in making this a DSMStyle Event...

:rally:

I question the banning of TCS. With 1000hp cars 3rd gets intresting, sometimes 4th gear your still spinning them. How about no TCS in the 500 & 750 classes?

I think we still need a bone stock class, and a FWD (street car - no using the Citroen) class would be cool too.

Im down for the ASM/TCS ban B)

I am in, i also I will bring my ps2 and tv if needed.

~John
F090 Formula 1 car, Midfield race way in 54.6xx seconds. I cant wait to get the F094, again. I also have restarted my game, which had the 4400+MPH run in the 111,xxxHP escudo.

I did something I didn't think you could do in GT3 today, leave the track. Needless to say I was surprised and of course in my 123,xxxHp Escudo and decided to see just how fast it would go. The game freezes at 2 Billion and some change MPH. :3gears: :toast: :smoker: :jammin:

Sounds like that game is as realistic or even more than NFS Underground....

Gran Turismo calls themselves "The Driving Simulator"

This game is leagues better that NFS-U in my opinion

NFS fuckin rules, the drifting is cool, and some of the addons are ok

GT3 has realistic everything. You can tune and run your car in the quarter, adjust everything from Camber to AYC.

It would be comparing apples to oranges.

NFS would compete better with Midnight club

GT3 is more like Project Gotham or Apex, only more realistic.

And I spoke with a PS2 Rep at my Target Store, GT4 in June...

Awsome... I will let you know about the TV, cause I'm sure I'll need it

this is the most realistic racing game ever made in my opinion, but as with any game, you can hack it with a gameshark and do whatever you want in the programing.


Does anyone have a link cable? if not, we should pool money and buy one. 2 player split screen really sucks.

I dont' care what you make it. I hate that game. LOL :woowoo:

Ditto.

Depending on the circumstances, I feel that we should be able to share our garages with others, specifically those who don't have certain cars unlocked but want to participate in a certain bracket. If you get your ass kicked by one of your own cars, then you suck.

Well if anyone needs it...

My friend Bob who works at Activision knows the head cheese. He got me a Beta save from when they were developing the game. I have 100% of the game, all cars won and unlocked, all tracks, and I gamesharked 10 trill...

If anyone wants to copy it, let me know...
