Welcome to Gaia! ::

**Rules

• No godmoding, or auto hits.
  
• Nitrus is not the ultimate solutiuon to fast driving
  
• Accidents should happen
  
• No one is pro, thats why they are racing on the street.
  
• Be origional when posting your car, no need to list the mods, just add a realistic power output in HP.
  
• Be descriptive with your driving and rember that even F1 drivers make mistakes.
  
• Make sure you read and understand the rules before posting.
  
• Racing
  
  
  • Racing is turn based, the initiative order is decided on who is first off the line.
    
  • Each Compeditor is only allowed three posts per Race.
    
  • Each Compeditor MUST make at least one mistake per race, one bad enough for your opponent/opponents to take advantage of.
    
  • Nitrus will only get you ahead once
    
  • Drafting/Slip streaming will set you up to overtake in your next post
    
  • Taking the Racing line into corners, and crossing into a oncoming traffic lane to get ahead - expect a 50/50 chance of a accedent. If you take that chance more than once, then you will kiss guard rail or meet with another car. Basicaly that can be your mistake or a accedent that will put you out of the race.

Screen Name: Super Panda
Character name: Quinten Palmer
Age: 22
Team: none, yet
Appearence: Quinten was a English Immigrint with a shaved head, his hair was a dark brown colour. His dark blue eyes are perpetually hidden, and quite thin. He stands about 5.6 and is rather short. He looked rather stout, but he is visably lacking muscle definition. His jaw line is rounded slightly, but his chin seems straight cut.

Racing Style: Driving front wheel cars, he barley takes the foot off the accelerator, he brakes with his left foot most of the time, and quite quick with the steering. He drives FF cars very nimbily, when faced with gradual to medium corners. However he has great difficulty in getting around sharp and hairpin corners.

Quinten is more comfortable when driving rear wheel drive cars. He greatly prefers their handeling characteristics, and can deal with most types of corners. He tends to let the rear hang out a bit when cornering, wich adds more wear on his rear tires, and ultimatly slows him down.
He has the ability to change to suit conditions, or pressurise a opponent, Quinten won't set up his car for one specific style. Opting to rather have a jack of all trades kind of car that suits his shoe sting budget.

- Strenghts: He has been dubbed a mechanical genius, he easly tunes cars to perfection going on how the car feels when he drives, rather than stats from a computer.


-Weaknesses: He can often loose his concentration once he has been overtaken. Going more than 140mph, he starts to get nervous, very rarley will he exede that unless he knows he won't meet another car or pedestrian. He would be more than at home on a race track. The unpredictability of the streets and the strain of the engine, at very high speed frighten him.

Classes

There are three types of racing classes and u can start out with one and as u win races u get better at ur class until u have mastered it I will determine wether or not u have leveled up, feel free to discuss this topic with me. OK so here are the classes.

Class 1
Drag Class
This class is good at starts and lives life 1/4 mile to 1/4 mile but they aren't very good at finding lines in turns and lose time in that section of a course. If u like getting of the line first and only drive in a straight line then this class is for u.(Most of the time this drivers have better reaction times so in the case of a wreck this drivers usually are ok.)

Class 2
Handling Class
This class is great for people that can handle going completely sideways through a turn and not even being fazed by it. So if u like s-curves and tight hairpin turns then this class is perfect for u.

Class 3
All around Class
This class is for people that don't have a great skill in either this is if u want to be ok at both but u wont beat the other person in there are unless u beat them in their weakness. So this class is here for people that are in the middle.

HISTORY: Coming from a middle class family, Quinten currently is working for Blitz as a test driver and network administrator. This has given Quinten the chance to not only enjoy the work he does, and test out top of the line products in his car. But it gives him a comfortable salary to play around with
CLASS 3

I suggested this many moons ago, but I'm still interested.
