The Heinz Catchup League is a series of one-off events where we drive a single car for six races of about 15 minutes in length each. Heinz is promoting their ever loved Ketchup, and as such have requested that the in-game setting of Catchup is enabled for all races in the event. This means that the leader's car goes slower, and the person in last place goes faster. This creates intense pack racing, with all other NoDo rules still enabled.
You can see some examples of this racing in my preview video, the the full race from lewjen (smithyonetwelve) 's view, or watch SteveJEWBZ 's highlight video to see some 5 wide action and try to learn from our mistakes:
There will be six races in the playlist, 15 minutes each. Catchup will be on for all races. Time and weather will be specified for each track.
FPS cap is a 60 FPS.
Starting grid will be using my Grid Creator. Every racer will have a random starting position for each race, but over the course of the six races, the average starting position will be equal.
Starting Grids - will be posted 1-2 days before event.
No pitstops required.
Future vehicles for possible use in this format: Bifta, Voltic, Blista, Tampa?, Golf Cart?, Motorcycles?
Driving Tips: You don't need to be in front all the time. You can hang back mid race, then work to the front. Staying clean is the most important part, but if you have trouble, there is plenty of time to get back into the group. You will want to work with your teammates near the end - or leave them out to try. Bump drafting is a decent tactic when done well, but you need to tap directly in the rear, not on either side. Even when just approaching the pack, try your best to not tap into the back unless its a straight to the rear, or issues are likely to happen.
Vehicle: Panto - It is preferred that you own the car. However, if you would like to signup and do not own the car, feel free to do so, and a car will be spawned for you, but you risk losing it midrace due to respawns or DC's from the donator. You do not need to own the car to signup to this event.
