Red Rockets VS Blue Ballers
Now down to business, this is going to be a great series with close racing and some extra involvement in regards to teamwork. We are going to assign teams using player entries and some random assignment (with some nudges here or there to keep it as balanced as we can).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone who is keen on racing if you could please reply to this thread, if you know your Steam Community ID please add that to your post to help with assigning the correct car paint.

We are looking at 4 meetings, Wednesday nights, starting from 15/04/20 at 8:00pm for Qualifying. Server will be open for official practice from 7:00pm and I will be running the server as much as possible for practice 24/7 as of now. Teams will be sorted and announced prior to the first race depending on how fast registrations come in, we may only announce this on the day of the event.
First 2 meetings will be Sprint style with 2 Races of ~20minute duration and the Second 2 meetings will be more Endurance style with a single 40minute race including mandatory pitstop.
Server information
-
Traction control and ABS will be allowed, my advice is that Traction Control is not necessary but won't hinder if you want to run it to make spin outs less likely and save rear tyre wear.
Damage will be 0%, Fuel usage 100%, Tyre Wear 200% (tested to provide moderate wear throughout race distance).
Server is running stracker which will require participants to be using ptracker for series entry and result tracking.

Tested Fast Lap 1:08.814 - Estimated race pace 1:09.xxx
This track has some great blind crests and fun elevation, fairly short and should only take 30mins to learn so please do have a quick run if you are not familiar with it prior to the race night.
Track Grip will be set to increase as the night goes on hopefully to 100% by race start but always bare in mind slippery conditions at race start and at the beginning of qualifying.

P.S.
Final notes, I have created and organised this all in my own time, all ideas and criticisms are to be directed at me. I will be hosting all relevant events and races, if you are not willing to follow instruction from me I will not be concerned in removing you from the event. In saying that, I only want everyone to have fun and enjoy racing. This is not for sheep stations but I will not tolerate rude behavior or intentional bullying/destructive acts (not that I think any of you will be needing to hear this).
Lets Race.
