2	-->-- '''Channel Motto'''
3
4	The ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTHkMQibvcdJKvOYAeS6dag Classic Gaming Grand Prix]]'' (or ''CGGP'' for short) is a community-based racing channel initially founded by LetsPlay/GunarmDyne after spending time with various racing groups and being inspired by various mechanics used in each. The primary purpose and main Grand Prix format is to allow a group of four to get together and record short races through four different games, with each participant choosing one of the games. The primary rules for each race are dictated by the one who selected that game while the only general rule is to try to limit each race to only 1 hour for the sake of time. There are no set prizes for winning a Grand Prix, but the most common is getting to select a bonus game that's raced for fun. Hosting/editing and participation is entirely voluntarily.
5
6	A secondary, Time Trial-style format has recently been introduced to make participation more simple for groups who aren't able to record together. They are given a starting point within a game and are challenged to get as far as possible in 30 minutes. They are tasked to record and submit their files individually before a set deadline.
7
8	It's an open community, and people who are interested in joining are encouraged to reach out to any of the members on their stream pages for a Discord invite.

106	----
107	!!The Grand Prix provides examples of the following:
108	* AnachronicOrder: Part 2 of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' in [=GP4=] has some of [=GoldGlee=]'s audio out of sync, making it sound like he's responding to questions before being asked them.
109	* BaitAndSwitch: ''TMNT'' starts off normally in GP 5, then gets interrupted by one of [[{{Gasshole}} NintendoCapriSun's]] many burps.
110	%%* BigWhat: All over the place in ''Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts''. They usually accompany SanitySlippage.
111	* BorrowedCatchPhrase: At the end of Part 2 of ''Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts," NCS comments that they're ending on a real cliffhanger. Dyne seized on that opportunity and closed out the video in the style and LetsPlay/HCBailly, complete with "Have a good day!"
112	* BrickJoke: In Part 1 of ''Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts'' Dyne mentions that some of the music would fit perfectly in ''VideoGame/BreathOfFire'' and vice-versa. In Part 3, when he had to overlay music from the game onto the video, several ''Breath of Fire'' tracks are included.
113	* CatchPhrase: "Let's get together and play some games," is the channel motto.
114	%%* ClusterFBomb: Sinisterkun unleashes one towards the [=UFOs=] in stage 7 of ''Manos''.
115	%%* CreepyChild: Dyne voices Omachou as one in ''Sonic Generations''.
116	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first GP is still hosted directly on Dyne's personal channel as it was intended to be a one-off project, and they hadn't even thought of a name until the 2nd game.
117	* EpicFail:
118	** Dyne gets his first death in ''Super Mario Land'', then proceeds to immediately walk off the edge of his spawn point and die again!
119	** [=Lv27MarkerMan=] dies against the very first enemy in ''Sonic the Hedgehog''.
120	** [=BloodyThunderX=] felt this way about going into ''Zelda II'' completely blind in GP 5. So much so that, when he submitted his video for editing, the file name included, "This video is made of fail."
121	** Gold redefines the trope in ''Earthbound'' in [=GP8=] by taking almost half the time trying to figure out that approaching Frank required saying "No" to the Shark blocking the door.
122	** During the ''Mega Man X3'' Versus, Gold again redefines the trope by triggering the air dash boots in Blizzard Buffalo and ''not actually entering the capsule to get them'' for '''''nearly two hours'''''!
123	* FunnyBackgroundEvent:
124	** Part 1 of ''Yoshi's Island'' in GP 5 has [=NintendoCapriSun=] asking himself, "How did you do this, past self?" when he gets stuck on a puzzle, and some text that says, "I did it by not being a dumb ass first of all!" pops up over his screen. The funny thing is NCS added that text himself before submitting the footage for editing.
125	** A musical version: After finishing ''Double Dragon II'', [=ProtonJon=] continued to record even when switching over to the original NES ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' and the video's background music changes to the Act 1 theme from that game instead of something from ''Double Dragon II''.
126	** Another musical version: During ''Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts'' Dyne comments that some of the music sounds like it could fit in very well in the original ''VideoGame/BreathOfFire'' and vice-versa. In Part 3, some of the songs from the ''Breath of Fire'' OST are used for the overlaid music (and indeed fit in quite well).
127	%%* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Captain Turbo]] had won every race of a Sonic game he had been in. Losing in ''Sonic '06'' broke that streak and that, plus losing to basically a game over rather than not finishing the game first only hurt even more.
128	* LargeHam: [=ProtonJon=]'s dramatic reading of the ''Double Dragon II'' opening followed by the many pro wrestler impressions by half the group.
129	* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: [[spoiler:[=OppaiMan100=]]] felt winning ''Sonic '06'' basically by default was a hollow victory.
130	%%* NoIndoorVoice: Every wrestler impression done during ''Double Dragon II''.
131	* OverlyLongGag: From the ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' race in [=GP8=].
132	-->'''Gold''': I wonder what Dyne's impression of Giygas would sound like.
133	-->'''Dyne''': [=NessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNessNess=]...
134	-->{{Beat}}
135	-->'''Dyne''': NESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESSNESS!
136	* RuleOfFun: No serious competition, no overt restrictions, just gamers getting together and showcasing their favorite titles.
137	* RuleOfThree: Inadvertent on the part of the racers, but it took three attempts to fully record the ''Sonic '06'' race between Captain Turbo and [=OppaiMan100=] due to technical issues.
138	* RunningGag: The runners of GP 5 had a "Burp counter" going during the entire recording session, both off and on camera.
139	* SanitySlippage: Everyone suffers from this in ''Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts''. Even [[NiceGuy NintendoCapriSun]] apologizes at the end for how much he was swearing at the game.
140	* ShoutOut:
141	** ''Kung Fu'' begins with the guys singing a few notes from Music/TomJones's ''Kung Fu Fighting''.
142	** Dyne pulls of an impression of ''[[Film/KungPowEnterTheFist Master Pain/Betty]]'' during ''Super Castlevania IV''.
143	** On some of the weapon names in ''Lufia II'':
144	*** "Red Saber? [[VideoGame/FateExtra Nero]]!"
145	*** "A Sky Sword? [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Fi! I found Fi]]!"
146	** NCS and Dyne have a field day quoting ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'' during ''Final Fantasy IV'' in GP 5.
147	** At the end of Part 2 of ''Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts'', NCS comments that they're ending on a real {{Cliffhanger}}, inspiring Dyne to to an LetsPlay/HCBailly-style outro.
148	* TheShowMustGoOn:
149	** Depending on the editor, a race video will still go up if someone's footage was lost/corrupted since the majority of the race is still watchable and everyone's commentary is still present.
150	** The entire first 5th GP got scrapped, but the footage that was still available got edited into the "Lost" GP.
151	** Part 2 of ''Yoshi's Island'' in GP 5 had NCS forget to unmute his mic, thus leaving the final video go up without his commentary as a result.
152	** In ''Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts'', Oppaiman forgot to record his commentary. Thankfully, NCS recorded his system audio for Parts 1 and 2, allowing the commentary to be preserved until Part 3.
153	* YouBastard: Dyne shouts this at Mr. X during the ''Kung Fu'' race when he [[spoiler:causes him to game over with one hit remaining.]]
