Car Selection
As you all know, all 4 of the Stock cars are only available legitimately in Single-Player as part of the returning players bonus. While most people see the online trainers and mod menus on PC as nothing more but a way to cheat in money and make others miserable, Nonchalant Dominance sees it as an opportunity to do something very special. Ever since they were introduced, pretty much everyone out there has dreamed of driving these two fantastic cars, and we're going to make it a reality.
At the start of the race (and qualifying) we will all pull of to the side, and a car will be spawned for you. You will then take the car and grid up just like any other race. Which car you are in for each race will be random.
Qualification
There will be a 2 lap non-contact qualifying session before each race starts (ie. warm up lap -> hot lap). Your best lap time determines the position you start on the grid. You will use the car you are racing in for the qualification in both races.
Mandatory Pit Stop
You must complete 1 pit stop during the race. It can be at any time you want and only require you to go through the pit lane (so no stopping and waiting) but failure to complete a pit stop will result in disqualification from the overall classification. Video proof is not required, but feel free to do so if you wish. It's a long straight before the pit lane so should be easy to start recording before you come in. I won't be asking for all footage to be sent to me but if someone accuses you of not making your pit stop, you may want to have it. In general I trust everyone to do the right thing.
Start Procedure
As mentioned before we will all pull off to the RIGHT SIDE to get our cars, then we'll be doing standard MCEC style starting with regards to a shorter formation lap to get into positions then using sticky bombs to start the race. For BC24 we use the yellow lines in the middle of the road as markers for where your car should be placed. Go back and watch one of the BC24 rounds of the MCEC to see that and have a look at this picture i60.tinypic.com/116khzo.png. Pole position always on the left.
Event Ethos
Just like the other showdowns this is going to be a relaxed laid back event. Nobody really cares who wins or how anyone does, and I would actively discourage people from putting in any crazy practice. It's just to use what are now perhaps 2 of the most desirable vehicles in a fun and different format with hopefully some good racing. It should be interesting just to see how the cars match up on BC24 given the longer straights in addition to tighter twisty sections. Both vehicles have their strengths and weakness, so it will be interesting to see how they match up on this track.
Signups
If you have been a participant in any recent PC events (MCEC, Touring Car, Formula E, Le Mans, etc.) your entry will be prioritized over those who have not. This is an extremely special opportunity so I don't feel it would be right to have those who are brand new, or worse those who are here just to race with Broughy, come first before long time members on PC.
Be sure to read the Nonchalant Dominance Racing Guidelines before signing up to any event, as these standard racing rules apply here.
Signups: 29/30
