The Epsilon Program
Hot-Lap Surprise
No-Practice Racing Challenge
Saturday, October 6th, 18:00 UTC
Saturday, October 6th, 18:00 UTC
A true believer and fantastic track creator from Germany came to the Epsilon Program headquarter with three unique track layouts. Cris Formage was delighted by such professional work – German engineering at its best – and had an idea:
An evening on these three tracks for the fastest drivers in Los Santos.
Since Cris does not want to put the lives of the drivers in jeopardy, he decided in his unfathomable wisdom to „ghost“ their cars, so they would not be able to crash into each other.
The prize for the event winner is a free subscription to each and every seminar that The Epsilon Program offers. A price worth more than even Devin Weston could easily afford.
The Tracks:
All three tracks are „land races“ and do not have any stunt surfaces. Finding the best racing lines or even shortcuts is the drivers‘ job. The tracks are brand-new and not published on SocialClub. (Although they will be after the event.)
Round | Track | Car | Laptime | Location |
1 | Seeking the Truth | Feltzer | ~2:45 | Strawberry, Davis, La Mesa |
2 | Chasing the Truth | Piss. Dominator | ~3:10 | East Vinewood, Downtown Vinewood |
3 | Delivering the Truth | Osiris | ~2:50 | Del Perro, Vespucci |
The Rules:
28 participants max. Any car modifications are ok. 60fps max. Each round consists of two parts:
Part 1 „Nice To See You“
3 laps, non-contact, noon, clear weather. You need to own the car, no borrowing possible.
You have 12 minutes to get a feel for the track.
Do not cross the finish line at the end of the last lap, instead wait about 20 meters in front of the final checkpoint. We will drive through the finish line together.
If a driver is not at the last waiting spot at the 12 minute mark in-game, OR drove through the finish line early, they will be disqualified from this round.
Part 2 „The Real Deal“
10 laps, non-contact race, noon, clear weather
At the start every car „melds“ into the car in first position. Abe.Cede will announce the start in Discord voice chat with „My command will be ‚Go‘“. After a few seconds he will say „my command is in effect. <pause> GO!“. This is the starting signal for all racers.
Drive through the finish line with full speed.
Scoring:
Points will be given from 1 point for 28th place to 100 points for 1st place (in a slightly logarithmic scale). Since this is a combination of „normal racing“ and „hot-lapping“, points will be given for both equally: the finishing position and the personal fastest lap time.
Example: Driver A finishes first (100 points), but has only the third fastest laptime (85 points), therefore his final score for this round is 185 points.
There will be a short break after each round for the organizers to calculate the scores in a publicly viewable Google sheet.
Sign-Ups:
There may be people allowed to participate in this event who are not currently members of NoDo and/or banned members. This will be in consultation with the moderators as written here (last paragraph).
