Only got our XBox at Christmas, so I'm learning fast. Just using the controller, manual with the clutch. Hope that's okay?

The forum wouldn't let me post my speed test result, so I'll tell you what it was below.

I wonder if you can help me understand how to enter the GT Sprints? I'd like to enter as a privateer using either the 2011 997 GT3-RSR, the AMG SLS GT3 or the Audi R8-LMS. I've posted an entry but noticed that I might not be able to have the car I want???? HELP

The only cars that are availbe for a privateer is

Aston Martin DBR9
Lotus Evora Type 124 Enduro

All the other cars are at the limits...

Paint your car and send it to CQR Aero to be put on the Spotters Guide

Okay cool,

I'll get and paint the car in a bit. Can you tell me what the build is, or where I can find out that information? Are there any restrictions that I need to apply to the car?

Oh yeah, how soon will I get a confirmation of my race number?

Hello and your number is approved

Thanks Trash.

I've FR'd CQR Aero, do you know how long it will be before he sends me the liveries? Have I missed something?

Hi MotoYeti. I sent accepted your FR almost instantly and sent you the vinyl pack (number boards etc) - the actual livery creation bit is done by you!! Minimum requirement would be a single base coloured car with the number boards, window banner, GT omega etc vinyls on (see page 1 of the vinlys/liveries thread for placement guide.

Hi CQR,

Sorry dude, just sent an IM on XBox too. My lad is on there at the moment, so I'll have a butchers in a mo. Sorry for the confusion, I'll send my finished car picture across to you later. Do you need it shot in the same way as the rest of the guide? (dumb question, but I have to ask it!)

It's OK mate. If you could send the paint itself please, it'd be a lot easier for me to take the pic than explain how so it matches all the others exactly.

Wilco

Also can anyone help me with the info I need for the build/handicaps? Where can I find the info I need? Can't see much in the car list??

The power handicaps are applied by the multiplayer lobby themselves, so you just have to worry about building the car (very limited changes anyway, like rims) to the PI/weight/power limit on the carlist.
