How i interpreted the rules were that each week you and your teammate would choose who drives the fast car and who drives the slow car, not just one person driving all the slow cars unless they wanted to ofcourse. Otherwise it might get slightly boring and also unfair on the person who has none of them cars and has to grind missions to afford them. The idea of choosing between you and your teammate effectively gives you two bank balances to aquire any vehicles needed to participate in that race and cuts costs if one person has a particular car when the other doesn't.
Thats just how i interpreted it but feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

Meaning that you wouldn't be able to collect points to compete with same racers all the time. You'd compete against all 16, which would make it weird, since some of the time you wouldn't be competing with them directly on the track. So only the team championship aspect would remain. Racing against the same people all the time is more valuable than money in my opinion. |

The idea of choosing between you and your teammate effectively gives you two bank balances to aquire any vehicles needed to participate in that race and cuts costs if one person has a particular car when the other doesn't. Thats just how i interpreted it but feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. Team Rules - Those who want to enter must first sign up. Teams will then be assigned completely randomly. No seeding, no choosing. It's all random. The two people in each team should then get together and decide who is going to race the faster cars and who will race the slower cars. Once this decision has been made it will remain the same for the entire championship. Person A can't race a Blista in round 3 then a Bullet in round 4. Obviously all the usual stuff will be expected like matching colours, photos, team names, etc to bring the championship alive. The bold and underline is by me. Most of us don't have the slow vehicles but with some grinding i will be able to manage. Just to give a heads up to the drivers in the slow vehicles group. Modifying 7 vehicles will cost you around 1.1 million $ not considering the cost of the vehicle itself. You will be able to get some of it back by selling the car after though. Most vehicles can be obtained in freeroam, the bullet is 155000$ and the Schwartzer is 80000$. The part I'm a little vague on right now is are the cars fully upgraded, or just the fast car group? Curious, as I've already started trying to collect the first two races cars that you can acquire in Free Roam. Took me 40+ minutes to finally get a Schafter to spawn in Rockford Hills. The Sentinel XS was easier, they were mocking me for the entire time while I was hunting down a Schafter. Saw plenty of Zion's too, but those are more common. |

Yeah i understand your point and after re-reading the rules in the OP it does state you either drive the fast or slow. It's just unfortunate that if you or your teammate dont have time to grind missions to buy certain cars you could be left missing out thats why i thought you could choose each week, i completely forgot about the individual aspect and just thought this was more about your team. |

Qexor people in the fast car category could just donate half the costs of the slow cars to their teammate.

The Sentinel XS was easier, they were mocking me for the entire time while I was hunting down a Schafter. Saw plenty of Zion's too, but those are more common. I can honestly say I'm looking forward to racing the Dilletante. It's a chippy little car. Ridiculous, but fun. I also pimped it and slammed it. Felt like Ali G. Damn glorious, it was. Here's a pic for the interested:  |

Here's a pic for the interested: Is slamming permanent? I've seen how to do it, but none ever mentioned if it resets when you change sessions or restart the game. |

Ser Tandur It's damaging the car. It'll reset when you repair it, much like a broken off door.

I'm sorry but I don't think I'll have the time to get the money on Gta to take part 7 weeks in a row, also I don't think I'll be consistently available to take part. I'd like to swap places with any of the ps3 reserves. I'd love to take part in one or two of the endurance races but I don't think I'll be consistently able to come along :/ sorry

Okay so first post has been updated. Think I have the reserve list sorted now and I've split it with free agents who won't be able to do all rounds but still want to participate if a spot becomes available week on week. Let me know if I got any names wrong there.
I'll sort out teams ASAP and let you guys know.
