Unfortunately its almost impossible to make sudden changes in speed or direction in that part of the track, so cant blame kili31 IMO. For eg. most of my crashes happened after hitting GT2/GT3 cars while overtaking in that area but I understand its not their fault, just a "feature" of this track That's what I figured out as well after the responses, so it's good we talked about it. Trying to take different lines to overtake other cars made me spin out quite a few times. Even in parts of the track where you aren't airborne for 80% of the time. This is what I was talking about when I said there is really only one line and about the track not being designed for multi-class racing.is If, throughout the entire track, there are a total of 2 corners where you can possibly make an overtake, and the lead-up to one of them has a random bump/railroad track (sweeping left on the dirt) and the other is very short lived (the left hander at the pit exit) then you probably shouldn't host a multi-class event on it. Speaking of which, about the next one, Jetsam. This track seems to have similar problems to the previous ones in regards to there being few places to overtake. Yes, Jetsam has much wider roads (in like, 3 places) then the last one, but there are just so many corners that 97% of the time you've got to focus on the next one instead of what you can do between here and there to make up a place or get around someone. There is only one real straight in the entire track where you can get any sort of speed before having to brake for the next corner, and a significant portion of the track is on single, or 1.5-lane wide roads (I am including the various narrow sections of track where you must turn one way and then quickly go the other (Not calling them chicanes since they don't really qualify imo)). Also, a single lap is over and done with in less than two minutes. With a full lobby, blue flags, and so many 90+ degree corners it just seems like the poor GT3s are going to be spending their entire race getting honked at and driving off-line trying to let people pass... At the same time, if we omit the blue flag rule, then it will only be worse as the GT1s struggle to find a window to pass GT2s, let alone GT1s, and everyone gets annoyed at GT3s being slow and GT3s get annoyed at having drivers rear-ending them the whole race... Blah! /rant

I dont think at least that will be a problem since GT1 and GT2 are roughly on the same pace around Jetsam

Absolutely right.I When I first raced on jetsam I was like can you really really really host an endurance race there.If all the other drivers aggree I would suggest to Orchan to change the track but I know its a bit difficult now because most of us have already spent time getting ready for the next round.

Since there's a bit of controversy about the size and difficulty of overtaking in Jetsam circuit, I've set up a poll in order to see what the majority of participants wants. To change it to one of the three other tracks, or keep it as it is right now. Note: the poll closed on the 23.03.2016 at 23:59pm UTC.First option is Blaine County North. Somewhat similar to Broughy1322's Blaine County 24hr but still has a very different feel to it. Second option is Blaine County South. Featuring the same area in Sandy Shores, albeit with different turns and then goes into a few hairpins with long straits with few turns until the finish. Third option is Chaparral Grand Prix. The complete opposite of Jetsam circuit, it's very long with both straits and complex turns throughout almost the entire section between The Grand Senora Desert and the Vinewood Hills. Pick what you'd like for the 3rd race, and I will set everything up. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

We had a wide open country track as first race, I think we should leave it at it is and have some variety.

(However I haven't voted since I know none of the tracks)

Hey people, I have a bit of a message / request for everyone.As some people might know, one of our drivers, QuincyS, from Princess Robot Bubblegum Racing hasn't been racing with us for the whole of the championship. We've had cloudmcshort and st0cking reserving for him ( thanks again). However Quincy recently told us why he isn't racing anymore. To keep it short, and to keep his privacy safe, here's what happened: He recently witnessed one of his friends pass away. ( May he Rest In Peace). He was, just like us, a GTA player. He's been heavily depressed over this, and hasn't been online for a few weeks. He's now back playing some GTA again, but he's still not feeling well. ( I've experienced similar things, I can safely say he feels really sh*tty). What I want to do in his honor, and to cheer Quincy up a bit, is make a 'feelgood video' for him. Here's what I had in mind:We have all the teams 3 wide, so we'll have Team 1 - 3 wide, and Team 2 behind them in the same manner. This will make a line of 9x3 cars, sorted by team. We could place .fiyah either at the front / back of the pack. Then a small tribute lap will be driven, with the formation staying intact. After that is done, everyone will get out of their vehicles, and do a salute simultaneously, and hold it for a minute ( as a minute of silence). If that's all done we can grid up as the race grid, and proceed with the event. I've discussed with this with Orchan and my teammate Jekyll. , and they've approved this happening before the race start. I'll be recording all this, and editing it down in the Rockstar Editor, to upload it on YouTube and send it to Quincy. I hope people can understand why we're doing this, and that they're willing to join me on a try to cheer Quincy up a bit. It'd mean alot to me if everyone can help me making this. Cheers! - Esperante

So is this moment Esperante mentioned about being held just before the next race?

I agree with Novesori, I think having another track out in the middle of the country would be bad for the series. So having a tight-nit road course in an urban area is awesome! Also I just really enjoy Jetsam :3
