[PS4] Micro Season Championship



Date:
Friday, 15 April 2016, 19:00 UTC

What the hell is this?
Well, to sum it up, it's pretty much a complete championship season, consisting of 5 short races with different classes, all on the same track, all during one event. As every race is being scored, they all will sum up into a championship classification.

And to cut it down bit by bit:

The Circuit
Sandy Shores Airfield. A very short and fairly simple 1 mile track with only a few corners, a long straight, a short gravel bit and a joker/pit lane. The Joker lane is an alternative route to one part of the track, containing Repair and Boost icons for collecting.
Yes, the track is nothing special. This will help to focus more on racing (hopefully) many other drivers.

Event Program:
- Opening Meetup in a Crew lobby at the Sandy Shores Airfield. Bring any car you like, out of the cars you intend to drive throughout the 5 races.
- Warmup (GTA race)
- Qualifying (no contact)
- Race #1
- Race #2
- Race #3
- Race #4
- Race #5
- Ending Ceremony in a Crew lobby at the Sandy Shores Airfield. I will announce the championship results, and would like to make a photo at least with the top 3 of the championship.
- I will also post the results in the forums.

The whole thing might take 120 - 150 minutes.

Warm Up
GTA Race with 10 laps. This is just to get used to the track and the joker lane. And the traffic No influence on the classification.

Qualifying
Non Contact Race with 5 laps with Muscle Cars. So you have 3 hot laps. The 5th lap is only for cooldown and wait at the finish lane, until everyone's there. The fastet lap will determine your starting position for the 1st race. The top 5 laptime drivers will get 5-4-3-2-1 points.

Race #1
GTA race with Muscle Cars (it can be a different car to the one you used in Qualifying). No weapons allowed.
The starting grid will accord to the fastet lap times of the Qualifying. The cars will be alligned on the left side of the track while your figure will be waiting on the opposite side, meaning that the start of the race will be Le Mans style
The detonation of a grenade will be the Go! signal for everyone to run to his car, enter it and then drive like hell...
There will be 7 laps to go. During these 7 laps you need to make at least one joker lap. It will be up to you to choose in which lap you do this. In the joker lane you can collect repair and boost icons. You will be free to choose when oder wherever you use the boost or not. The top 10 finishers will receive 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 points.

Races #2-5
Same procedure as the previous race, but with a different car class in every race. And now the starting order will be the reversed finishing order of the previous race. This is to even the odds a bit. The top 10 finishers will receive 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 points.

At the end of the evening we will have a complete championship classification and see who can get the most out of the maximum possible 55 points.


Rules:
- During GTA races no weapons are allowed.
- Avoid respawns by any means, and do it only in case you are hoeplessly stuck.
- The races surely will be crowded and hectic, contacts will happen. But be as safe as possible and nice to everyone and don't push it too much. Keep in mind that the joker lap and boost allow some tactics, too.
- We won't have anyboy surveilling the joker laps. We do this based on trust. Please just call shortly when you are entering the joker lap, so we have some kind of feedback on joker laps.
- On the starting grid the car doors need to be closed, and also be careful to not enter the wrong car
- No restrictions on car tunings
- Armored car versions not allowed (armored Kuruma/-Schafter/etc)
- Please bring some patience, as between every race I will need a few minutes for preparing and setting up the new starting grid.
- The focus will be on competition and fun. But no tolerance for trolling. Obvious trolling or NODO code violations will quickly lead into the removal from the event.
- During meetup in Game-Lobby, please don't use any guns at all and cause no explosions or cop attention, in order to keep the meetup peaceful and relaxed.

What classes will we race?
Has been decided via poll:
Warm-Up, Quali, Race #1 - Muscle Cars
Race #2 - Sports Classics
Race #3 - Compacts
Race #4 - Coupés
Race #5 - Sports
Within each class the car's choice is free, except for armored versions. These are not allowed.


So what do you need to participate?
- Obviously the motivation, interest, patience and time
- Complete these 3 steps: nodo.freeforums.net/thread/5517/event-eligibility-before-signing-events
- Make sure your Crew is set to NODO, so you can get access to the meetup lobby.
- As some important instructions will be made in the ingame chat, you should at least be able to hear what's told in the chat.
- A little tolerance for my "simple" English, as it's not my first language
- Anyone who wants to stream or do a video, feel absolutely free, but please announce it here (i.e. give your streaming channel).

Can we also sign up with a team?
If you want to participate as or within a racing team, please let me know. Teams should follow the NODO racing team guidelines:
nodo.freeforums.net/thread/6381/team-submission-guidelines
If it makes sense I would also add a team classification as well.

Other notes:
- I will most probably also race in most of the races, but will be spectating for at least one round, collecting material for making a little Youtube video.
- The track is designed by me, but I'm positive this will not show in my results or be an advantage for me
- Yes, this means I will sometimes do both, race and do the starting procedure. So for the hosting aspects I probably won't need additional support.


Looking forward to your replys and applications. Any questions feel free to ask here.
