OK, so far I have seen a sarcastic remark about taking 30 seconds to register and not being rocket science, and another remark about not being a good racer because we don't want to have to learn new tracks or something about wanting this to be a top speed run or something decided by the first corner.
First off, I am already a part of 6 forums, two for GTA and 4 for other things in my life. I am admin of two of those. I run the Approved Races Thread in GTAF which takes up a great deal of my time. I also have a full time job and a family to take care of as well as wanting to actually play the game now and then. I apologize if my not wanting to have to deal with yet another forum was a problem for you. I don't have time to keep tabs here.
Secondly, as I have said to Trowa we do not wish to do this on custom tracks for only one reason, it does not make a fair and balanced competition when the starting grid is the same for every race. We made this decision after the last CvC we did because every race the top three spots in the grid were RRR and we just ran away with the entire playlist. It isn't how we want to win. This will be our stance until they change the way the grid works. It does not make any difference who hosts. It would still be unfair.
If this does not work for your guys we understand. You came to us with this and your welcome to pull the offer at any time. Or we can pull our interest if you insist on continuing with the insults. To think that we would not be interested in custom tracks just because we don't know them is absurd, we spend most of our time racing new custom creations anyway.
We posted our tracks and we have our racers. Your ball.
PS - the 23rd is fine though I would rather it be sooner...
Sorry you took offense here but there are no true insults here, at least they werent meant to be. We will use R* tracks as I said in my reply to you on the social club. Our crew just enjoys custom races but you have a fair point about starting grids being unfair and we have already moved on from that. In 24 hours I will give you our 3 tracks and Im sorry but due to the nature of having a 1000 member crew we need to run a qualifier and would like to give Broughy1322 a chance to at least be there to record it for his channel if not participate in the race if he qualifies. Handpicking people would just cause conflict for us within NoDo. Something we dont want because this at its heart is suppose to be fun and friendly.

I'll be away for two weeks starting next week so unfortunately won't be able to do anything in that time period. Thanks for tagging me here btw, best way to make sure I see a important post. The 9th would make me miss the event aswell so perhaps we can do it the 23rd? That would work best for me. We also need time to do our qualifier which I think we could our qualifier on the 16th or 17th and do the event the 23rd. What are your thoughts? Broughy1322Sounds okay to me but you guys go with a date that suits you. Don't hang around for me if you want to do it sooner.

Well those are the dates that work best for me and coincidently it works for you so thats what we are going with. I know some people are anxious but well it just gives them more time to practice

RRR1 wont race on custom tracks because they believe its unfair. So we need to pick 3 rockstar verified/Created races. The 3 tracks I would suggest are Monaco, Holy Drift Mountain and Nurburgring. Leave your suggestions below if are you are participating in the event. Also Craig 9876 Im in contact with redrum directly now. No need to continue messaging them as this will only cause confusion for them. Thank you. Ok, I didn't know you were contacting them so you can continue with that. Also the 3 tracks you suggested above are great. I don't mind having them as our tracks as they're all good tracks.

All good and thanks for the feedback although I dont particularly like Nurburgring, at least in comparison to The North Loop, I do think its track that requires a fair amount of skill and thats really what I want to go for with our tracks if possible and everyone else finds them to be suitable as well.

I can't do it if it's on the 23rd so if that's the case then I'm out

Ok. As I can somewhat see the two races being on the less difficult side and I can see that my own hemming and hawing has just added more confusion to the issue here is what I propose...
Vinewood Tours - sports The Academic - muscles Coupe D'etat - coupes
Aug 23rd. 3 pm EST Clear, noon, traffic off, customs on, full contact all races.
Hopefully that meets all needs.

I know this sounds a little off and it does miss all race craft but how about we try non contact for qualifying. Some of these tracks are really tight and too many troubles can be cause by a lapse in concentration. Also it shows who is on the ultimate pace we want to have without getting caught up in a wreck. In my mind we are just trying to find our top guys on the ultimate pace. Practice is were we get our race craft in on the tracks. Does anybody else like this idea?

If you want contact in the qualifier like this post. If you dont want it like CrazyMan2626267's post. Im leaning towards non contact honestly due to the shear number of people in our qualifier and the lag that comes with it. Choose wisely and the post with the most votes will essentially determine what we use.

I think non contact will work best because there will be people like me (choke king ) that will screw other peoples race

The academic is locked.to coupés ... ? Yeah they are aware now. They are discussing what to do on their forums now. Whether to swap tracks or to swap their vehicle classes around to keep the same 3 tracks. Also get on skype for a bit if you can. Need to discuss something with you.

Non-Contact should be used in my opinion. Although this eliminates race-craft from the qualifiers, I do think that the fastest drivers should not miss out on qualification due to matters they can't control.
