DrKloden Gaming™ presents
DrKloden Gaming™ is pleased to announce 99 laps of Acapulco (ack-ah-pull-kow) Motor Park™.
Everyone has a GTA bucket list. Things like.. win a playlist race, win a playlist overall, win or podium in an event race, win or podium in a championship... participate in a 99 lap race. Well finally here's your chance on that last one! The race circuit has been specifically built for this 99 lap endurance race. The lap time is around 48 to 50 seconds, lending to a race around 80 to 85 minutes. It's been intentionally built with high choke-risk (bumps, precision high speed, etc) in order to retain attention and excitement over the 99 laps, whereas a straightforward track would have gotten very boring after 40 laps.
Date & Time:
Date: Saturday, June 24th, 2017
Pre-lobby: 7:45pm UTC
Qualification: 8pm UTC (optional)
Race-Start: 8:15pm UTC
Event end: 9:30-45pm UTC
In-game time: Current
I've been told Bruffcar generally does not run late so you're able to participate in both that day. rip.
Event entry restrictions:
-In an effort to limit the significant amount of lapping, it is my wish and recommendation that all drivers entering have the ability to achieve a 49.999 second or better lap time on the circuit. This rule will not be enforced. (I believe the world record is in the 46s, and a decent driver should be able to get 48.9 ten times in a row) Practice is strongly recommended as it is a dangerous circuit and this is NOT a lmao race even if it borderline almost feels like one. Safety first!
-You should only enter the event if you're mentally prepared to have one of the most intense and exhausting races of your career! This race will break you. Not only is there no straight, no pit, and many dangerous corners, but it's so short you'll never be driving alone. If there are 30 starters it is my wish there are at least 20 finishers.

Vehicles:
-Jester Racecar
for majority of participants
-Jester
only if you're a high fashion hipster
Vehicle Restrictions:
-Off-road tires are recommended as the race is very bumpy.
-The picnic table spoiler is not recommended as it can get caught on nearby scenery and does not give benefit over smaller spoilers. (in fact its a disadvantage as it raises your center of gravity)
Start procedure:
Qualifying is entirely optional, you may enter the race as part of a random grid behind qualifying participants. There will be a quick, efficient qualifying just before the race. Which specific quick quali method is not decided at this time.
General rules and custom blue flag rule:
-Standard NoDo Racing rules and etiquette apply.
-There will be a significant amount of lapping going on, so the event requires a custom blue flag rule specific to this event.

As you can see in these images, as a lapped vehicle is followed closely (on similar pace), there is no blue flag. The leading car must be beside the lapped vehicle (any amount of beside them including an inch, doesn't need to be fully beside) in order for the blue flag to be active.
When a lapped car receives the blue flag, they should make an effort to back off before the next turn if possible.
This custom blue flag is necessary because you will inevitably have close quarters and similar pace to cars on different laps than you.
This horn is recommended because it's louder than others. You may only honk your horn if you're 100% sure the car you're on top of is lapped. By on top of I mean: beside them, on their bumper, or very quickly approaching. If someone is quickly approaching you, please have the common sense that, although theyre not beside you at this very moment, they will be in 1 second and in all practical terms the blue flag is virtually beginning. This is a careful balance between not ruining your own race and not being a prick to those competing for podium, etc. If a lead driver slows down behind you because of a road narrowing, please understand they would have been beside you during the next widening if they were crazy enough.
-60 fps is mandatory for all participants.
-"May the curbs be ever in your favor" -Serenniel
-If there are more than 30 entries, there won't be a 2nd session but if the participants enjoy it and there is interest then there may be a 2nd edition of the race a month after or something, but likely with different cars, likely not on a Saturday.
-Again, this is NOT a lmao race even if it might borderline feel like one. Our wish is for it to be as clean as reasonably possible. Watch your track re-entry after chokes!!!
-Streamers may be given special permission to move/mute Teamspeak, everyone else should be present on TS.
-There are no pit stops. If you would like to reset due to substantial car damage, please use the secondary checkpoint at the corner that's just after the bridge just before the downhill to the banked turn.
-In-game time will be current. I installed lights at every apex for your convenience.
-And finally, information acquired on rule violation, dangerous driving, and unprofessional behavior may be given to commissioners and other event hosts after the event and may incur penalties that effect other events you're participating in.
