"The Last Great Race!"

50+ entries and spanning almost 3 years, this should be the largest spot race in GT3 OLR history. Don't miss your chance to be part of GT3 history!

I also plan on continuing this race in GT4, car and track permitting of course.

Over at GT3Times there is a thread that was their first OLR challenge. It was started Sept 5, 2001 and the last post before me was June 24, 2004! Yes, that's right, over 2.5 years old! 20 pages long and 50 drivers entered. Lots of top drivers and lots of FAST times.

I've been running it a little bit for the last couple of days and slowly working my way up in the finishing positions.

I'm going to post their results here and add Arco's time in (hope he don't mind). I will also be adding my time (LOL...saying my name and Arco's name in the same sentence just seemed wrong.) and update it for anyone else that would like to submit a 100% clean run. Basically I will be following the rules from the original challenge, so you can view those if there any questions.

Replays available on the webpage.

Race:

Good luck!

This spot race is now on 6 different OLR forums (including here) and I have built a webpage for it also.
Webpage link: http://www.tuff240.com/thelastgreatrace.htm
There are 6 links at the bottom of that page that take you directly to each thread in each different forum.

I can/will also host anybody's x-port/shark-port replay that has one for this race. Whether they are in 1st position or last makes no difference to me. You can email your replays to me at tuff240@prodigy.net

Leaderboard is current and has replays available for a few people in the top 10 (working on getting the others).

Updated times:
30th Kodiak31415 1'32.906. Shaved 8 tenths off his previous time.
10th Slowpoke 1'31.074. New entry and a blazing run for sure!

Leaderboard, webpage and replays are all up to date.

I would like to note that the replays are not being formally verified. I am relying on all the racers to be honest and if you see a possible wall touch on someone's replay while viewing it, please PM or email me privately.

I have also added a due date (the day GT4 is released) as I don't see the need to to keep this updated past that point.

I would also like to thank everyone that has participated thus far. It's getting really close through-out the entire leaderboard!
