Damn this is gonna be a long ass race I wonder how many people are unaware of this lol But I'm up for it, sign me up for the Tyrus. Jahgee There are a few things I would like to mention though.... Not having blue flags at all is a very very very bad idea. I would like to know why you decided this and I hope you'll consider changing it. There doesn't need to be a blue flag when lapping cars of a different GT, but if you're having a battle for the lead you don't want your race to get ruined by a backmarker who is 2.5 minutes behind. I'm sure everyone else who has experience with lapping people will agree with me, so I would recommend you to change it to MCEC rules (blue flags within your own GT, if a GT2 driver gets lapped by a GT1 driver, or vice versa, the lapped driver doesn't have to get out of the way, but is not allowed to actively defend). I'd also recommend you to have a friends only session as the prelobby. That's how we always do it since people can just join themselves. If its an invite only session you can end up having the 'tutorial glitch' and then you won't be able to invite certain people. In a friends only session you can still try to invite people, but you don't have to worry about it as much. I think pit windows are a nice idea, but I'm not sure if the screenshot thing is a good idea. If you record the race you don't even need to stop to take a screenshot. Unless there is a pitman, you can't really check whether people come to a full stop or not. And since the pit lane does not cost you any time at all if you know how to full throttle it, you may as well not have pit stops at all. About the borrowing cars thing, it's not a good idea to have a red flag if an empty car ends up on the track. The gaps between all the drivers wouldn't be the same, and its impossible to make sure everyone gets the message. Some could be in a party, some could have people muted, some could be listening to music, etc. The best thing to do for sarja and bahr27 is to push the car off the track as much as they can while not getting in anyone's way and tell everyone where the car is, or if they're not using a mic, they can message someone with a mic. Regarding the Friends-Only Session, that is a good idea that I will use instead of the Invite Only. And I guess if NoDo isn't really used to Red Flags then not using them is the way to go, so I'll take your word on it. However, regarding the screenshots, that's requiring the specific screenshots of the car stopped taken via the Share Button is the way to force people to stop, as the screenshot button effectively stops you for ~5 seconds. Also, regarding Blue Flags, I've watched other events do it and it be successful, naturally people tend to blue flag themselves as backmarkers. However, I do want traffic management to be a premium skill this race, given the wide racing surface and near equality of the cars in top speed, and I think no required blue flags will achieve that. Also, regarding the race length, that's what I was going for lol at this point an hour race isn't really an endurance, most people in NoDo have the capability to sit down and race an hour The only times Red Flags are declared in events is if 1) A mass DC occurs in which the majority of participants Disconnect within a short time span, or at once. (examples include MCEC Round 5&6 on Ps4, COTM Round 4/Division 1/Season3, and in my Alamo Sea Festival Event.) first instances that come to mind. or 2) If we have a "Moe_yungstar" Where a player decides to start killing people and racers for no reason, ruining the experience, in this case we vote to kick that player, and restart the race when he/she is kicked from the lobby. In both cases you restart in the positions you were in with the remaining amount of laps set. ( apply's to case 1 only ) Just to clear up how we managed Red Flags in the past.

We can adjust the pitting to having to post just a single letter in the chat. You can't cheat your way out of that.

That would actually work well, having to post 1, 2 & 3 in the group chat I've made for the event Ishan I'll need to be able to add you to it in order for it to work, your privacy settings currently prevent me from adding you

It could be even more influenced if the PSN is having smaller issues at times and people who pit during that period are at a significant disadvantage.

Real life pit stops do have inconsistent times, so it's not totally inconceivable.

True, but still a better option than the snap in current conditions. Best would be if the creator could just add a few slowdown strips in the pit-lane and we all take snaps with the quick method.

Still wouldn't work properly. There is the PS App. Everyone who has it could simply type 1, 2 and 3 in the chat on their smartphones when they are on the start/finish straight for example and then send it when full throttling through the pit lane.
