Sign here if you want to be a driver in the Gran Turismo racing series. Please post a basic profile such as name, age, strengths, weaknesses, some general information and stuff like that. Don't post any car information since nobody owns a car yet. Also it doesnt have to be real information, just make stuff up.

Age- 22
STRENGTHS- Great driver. Handles well under pressure. Makes few mistakes. Will do anything to win. If he is ahead then he is fine, sometimes around others he will ram the other cars off the road.
WEAKNESSES- Will do anything to win. This can cause him to get a bit careless and he could get into an accident.
FAVORED CARS- Any. He is skilled at driving any car. Since he wants to win a lot, he prefers fast cars. Ones that have been heavily modified.
MONEY MANAGEMENT- Average. If he gets one of his favorite cars he tends to focus on nothing but buying upgrades for one car until it is perfect. Sometimes when he wants to buy a car he wants he will save up for a bit but if he doesn't earn the money to get the car in a certain amount of time then he buys more upgrades.

I'll post my profile in a bit, but right now I'm curious as to how we actually compete.

It'll function like a regular battle arena. Basically if you want to speed up just post something saying that "DB steps on the accelerator to go faster."
Or for the brakes or slowing down. "DB sees a hairpun turn coming up. He slams on the brakes and slowly navigates through it." OR "DB opts to go fast through the hairpin by attempting to drift through it."
Someone is tailgating you. You would say something like you slam on the brakes and let them rear end you, Step on the gas and try and lose them, yell out the window at them, stuff like that.
Someone tries to pass you. You'd say that you pull over and let them pass. Or you speed up and dont let them pass. You keep going straight and move in front of them to block their passing attempts.
Someone is coming at you fast. Youd say that you stay in their way so they dont get ahead but they ram you. Slow down, move to the side, try and ram them off the road. Like aggressive driving, just slam into them from any angle, rear end them, try and fishtail the car, etc.
Hmmm thats what I can think of for now. Of course there will be computer driven cars competing too.

Oh, and everyone starts with $10,000. You could try and buy a new vehicle but most new ones cost more then that. Or you could buy a used car cheap and buy some upgrades for it. Used cars of course have more milage and may not perform well however.

Sounds good...
but even if we change the track conditions, the battles may get a bit repetitive.

True it may get repetitive. Don't worry, I'll think of new ways to keep the races exciting. Everyone else can submit ideas too.

Name- Da Bomb
Age- 20
STRENGTHS- Very good with cash and gambling. He knows which races he can win and which ones he will lose. He can also save cash very well, and knows how to spend it effectively. DB also uses underhanded tactics such as ramming.
WEAKNESSES- Though not a bad driver, he isn't the best, so he relies on sneaky/unfair tactics to win. This often leads to damaged cars and lost races.
FAVORED CARS- Cars with good stock performances that he doesn't need to spend too much money upgrading. He dislikes very expensive cars.
MONEY MANAGEMENT- Excellent. He saves and spends money well.
CLOTHING- Standard racing garb.

Thats fine you can put it here. You can just post your purchases at the dealership page itself. So any other vehicles you want to buy just make a post at the dealership. Also, later today I'll post on the garage topic an update.
