Competition Mechanics (how it will work)

• People will get directed to the GT5 Microsite via FB, Twitter, web banners, word of mouth etc.
• Once they are on the site they will have the option to register their details, including name, DOB, Country & email address.
• When they submit their details they will receive a confirmation email which will also include a list of the locations and timings in which they can go to a store a race in one of the pods.
• This information is collected and passed onto the relevant markets so that they can pass it on to their promoters who will be in-store/on-site.
• The promoters will then know roughly how many people to expect at certain times. They can also give priority to those who have registered. So if there is a queue, they have to place the people who pre-registered at the front.
• People who have pre-registered to race and general public are welcome to visit the pods and race. The promoters must take the name, email address, phone number & city of residence of every person who races. These details MUST be recorded.
• Each time somebody races they will get 3 laps in which to post their best time. The promoter must be the one to record the laps and make sure that the racer has the game on all of the correct settings (which are detailed below). If it becomes clear that somebody was not on all of the correct settings the times must be void.
• The promoter will be the one who will keep a record of everybody's lap-times and will pass these onto the blogger for them to upload.
• Everybody's lap-time should be posted onto the board. At the end of the qualifying period the Top 10 racers in the GCC will qualify for the finals.
• There will be a 2 hour break before the qualifying starts to give people time to make it back down to the racing pods if they are in the Top 10.
• The finals will start at the same time and each person in the Top 10 will get 3 laps only in which to record their fastest time.
• They will be racing against each other and any previous fastest times from the qualifying rounds will be null and void. The only times that decide who wins will be those recorded whilst in the finals.
• If a racer is still racing when the competition officially ends they are allowed to finish their current lap.
• The bloggers will be updating the blog with the results from the finals so in theory we should know who has won the competition as soon as it ends.
