Dammit! I never even got the chance to switch the Playstation on this week, and I love driving the Nurburgring and the Calsonic Skyline.

Of course mate, there's no entry criteria at all lol.

Rules are, the game should be turned on with no memory card plugged in, and arcade mode seleted.

Then pick the track and car for the current round, use the quick tune option before the race to reduce the weight as much as possible (10%) and increase the power as much as possible (20%), select the tyres you want, I'd advise always to go for the most race, stickiest ones, and games on.

Once you set a time, get a picture of the screen on a digi camera so we can see it, we have been operating on just taking each others word for it in the last few rounds because we've been at it for a while, would have to be a joint decision as to whether any of the guys would like to see pics of your times for the first round or two, I'm sure they will make comment. Good luck with this weeks on, the first rally one we've done.

Hello and welcome to the VOC GT4 championship!

I would say maybe just get photos for the first round or two then dont worry too much after that?

happy racing!
