Car Selection
Just like other showdown events there are only a limited number of each vehicle, in this case 6 participants in each of 5 vehicles. You need to sign up with an order of all five cars, from most preferred to least. When I have all participants I'll assign everyone to their number one chosen car unless there are more choices than slots available, in which case I'll draw at random. Those who don't get their first choice car will be put into their next choice assuming there is space. This will continue until everyone is assigned a car. There is no guarantee you'll get your initial car of choice (unless you choose something unpopular) though usually everyone gets at least no worse than their second choice. Also feel free to sign up for a car you want to drive but don't own since we'll be able to swap at the start, but you would be starting at the back of the grid in that event due to inability to qualify.

Qualification
There will be a 2 lap non-contact qualifying session before the race starts (ie. warm up lap -> hot lap). Your best lap time determines the position you start on the grid.

Mandatory Pit Stops
You must complete 3 pit stops during the race. They 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 3 pit stops will result in disqualification from the overall classification. Video proof will be required of each pit stop as a back up in case you're accused of not taking them. I won't be asking for all footage to be sent to me but if someone accuses you of not making all pit stops you better have the footage to prove them wrong!

Start Procedure
Sticky bombs will start the race. The grid order and organisation of the grid will be communicated on the night once we're in the race. I will be using PS4 game chat to organise everything and will require silence from everyone during that process so we get it done quickly. A temporary crew will be created for the event also to allow easier organisation. This will be communicated in this thread.

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 an interesting selection of cars in a fun and different format with hopefully some good racing between vehicles that have different strengths and weaknesses. As always with these showdowns there will be some cars that are quicker than others, but the main point is to have fun and some good racing with a variety of vehicles.

Signups
Because of the potential popularity of the event those who are new to the crew or are less involved will be given a reserve spot in place of someone who is heavily involved or has participated in previous showdown events. However signing up early is always going to help your case too.



Be sure to read the Nonchalant Dominance Racing Guidelines before signing up to any event, as these standard racing rules apply here.
