With the last race of season 3 due on the 18th April it is now time to announce Season 4 of the ever popular GT Omega Series which will start on Wednesday May the 2nd 2012. With new rules, tracks and car this will be the most action packed, competitive season to date. Throw into the mix the chance to win yourself a £300 racing seat and earn some GT5 swagger making this one series you don't want to miss. In order to have a chance of winning the racing seat you must be a registered Premium Member. All races in which you compete as a Premium Member will give you a token to enter into the prize draw.
Details on Premium Membership here.
This series will run on Wednesdays on a weekly basis for 8 weeks. Other events will be run throughout the season so keep an eye on the forums for details. If you like fun, clean and challenging racing online then ARL is the only place to be.
Please sign-up for the series by registering with ARL here and then post in the sign up thead.
One of the moderator team will then contact you and be your initial point of contact.
Getting Started
Once you've signed up you'll be placed in a league based on your ARL GT5 rank. If you are a new ARL Member you will be placed in the bottom tier, where you can begin to work your way up through the ARL GT5 ranks to become Champion.

The Basics
The official championships run at 2 x 15 lap races. Each event will take place on a weekly basis. Clean racing is key here.
