Description: "Gateway to the world of Gran Turismo. A great place to improve your skills!"
This is a 3-race championship. Money improves drastically compared to the Spot Races: 3,000
credits per win (compared to 1,000), 1,500 per Pole Position, and the Championship Bonus = a whopping 15,000. On top of this,
as many drivers know, the prize for this series can be sold for up to 12,000. This is the kind of money which finally
builds careers.

Math: Those who qualify first or second can dumb-down power further than is suggested. 131
hp rather than 138, for instance, in a Nissan Silvia Q's at Autumn Ring Mini.
Limit 3 hp per position for those who qualify each position over
5th place. So if 157 hp is recommended for the race, remove 12 horses from this total. For a lot of cars this is impossible
of course!
Qualifying:
Optional: Exempt cars from qualifying if they're 5 horsepower too strong. Money won't be as high, but the race itself
should have at least some challenge.
Option 2: If the
Sunday Cup has been won and Pole gained at each track, don't allow qualifying at all for second, third, fourth Sunday
Cups with the same car. This is to add challenge, of course.
Race: At all three tracks it seems as if the competitors' power gets really gimped.
Or maybe PD was using a reverse-rubberband. Even with the weakest car I've driven so far, a Honda del Sol S (ranging
from 132 to 139 hp) I'm able to blow them away most of the time, in a straight line! Fortunately, the rest of the game isn't
so easy.

The Sunday Cup version of Autumn Ring is just as easy as the Spot Race
version. If your car is overqualified by even 5 horsepower, remove any modified parts (except a close-ratio gearbox).
