Hello and Welcome New Nodo Racers.
NoDo is the best place for clean, respectful and competitive racing in the GTA5 community. There are many well organised events happening all the time on PC with some very fast drivers, this is just a taste of things to come in your NoDo racing career.
The aim of
"Welcome To NoDo Racing" playlists are to give new racers a place to learn the racing rules, special rules in races, why we use GTA mode in races and other things. The emphasis is on learning race craft, clean racing in accordance with NoDo rules, having fun, and making friends.
Winning is not everything.
The most important thing to learn from this weekly event is RESPECT for your fellow racers.
RapTor_X_ Has put together a fantastic post with everything you will need to know about NoDo Racing.
It is highly recommended you have a read thru it so you have some idea of what Kaleeb and I will try and simulate in this Welcome Playlist.

Hosts
Pezby 'n'
Kbbpls42 are the hosts of this weekly event and will hopefully give you some basic knowledge of what is expected of racers before they can join the more serious events that are hosted on a regular basis.
Add them both to your friends list on social club if you would like to be invited to this event. Simply click names above to be taken to hosts profiles.
You MUST add all hosts as friends before the playlist starts. Friend requests will not be accepted when we are starting the playlist, you will miss out and have to sign up again when signups open for the following week.This playlist is to be used as a stepping stone into more competitive events with faster drivers. You are free to sign up every week if you like, but once you stop signing up and move onto other playlists and events, you can not return. This playlist is aimed at new members and less experienced racers who want to go to the next level of playlists and events, learn some race craft and improve their racing skills.
If
Kaleeb or
Pezby_ feel you have progressed to a stage where you have shown good racing etiquette and technique, then you may be asked to move onto the more advanced daily playlist races held everyday.
(Daily PlayList) If this happens, congratulations and good luck in future events and races. You can not return to this weekly playlist.
Playlist Information
Playlist Start Time : Saturdays at 5pm UTC Maximum 'n' Minimum drivers : The minimum signups to have this playlist hosted is 15 a week. The maximum is 25.
Playlist length : Usually around 2 hours. We will try to do 10 tracks, and a fun race to wind down at the end, commonly referred to as "lmao" (laughing my ass off). laugh my ass off races are not for intentionally ramming or shooting, but often involve jumps, crossovers and other fun things.
Do I have to stay for the whole playlist? : No. You can leave whenever you want. You can also come back into teamspeak and request to be invited back to the next race. You can also join after playlist start if you signed up for the week.
Vehicles Required : We will be racing in -- sports , supers, coupes, sedans, compacts, muscle and suv's -- for the most part. There may be times we race vans and utilities. We won't be racing bikes, boats or flying vehicles at all. As a racing crew it would be wise to watch
Broughy's YouTube for best vehicles in each class and buy one, fully mod and paint it to your liking. Crew logo on vehicles is not required if you don't want it. If you don't have these vehicles, they can be spawned in for you via grand theft auto mode in the playlist so don't worry.
NoDo as active crew : To receive playlist invites, NoDo must be set as active crew. Make sure you have
Pezby_ 'n'
kbbpls42 added to your friends via social club to receive invites via friends option. All invites to this playlist will only be sent to those who sign up and who are on teamspeak in the assigned channel. Wait in the
"PLAYLIST WAITING ROOM", everyone who is signed up will be moved into the
"Welcome 2 NoDo Weekly Playlist" before the playlist starts.
Where can i find the tracks we race? : You can bookmark all tracks after each race, then practice them when you want. We don't race the same tracks all the time, so bookmark tracks as we play them. You can also find tracks in the creator section of the forums.
Teamspeak
It is a standard requirement for all NoDo events that all racers are on teamspeak in the assigned channel for the event. If you aren't in teamspeak, you won't be invited to this or any other event or playlist. We suggest signing into teamspeak using your grand theft auto 5 social club username, just makes things easier for everyone. Be in the teamspeak channel at least 10-15 minutes before the scheduled playlist start time to secure your place. We will always setup pre-race lobbies before scheduled start time.
It is not necessary to have a microphone, but is highly recommended so you can communicate racing incidents as they occur. Nothing can be done after a race and is really hard during a race via text chat. We are all friends here, don't be shy, get a microphone
.
YOU MUST be able to hear others speak. Failure to follow instructions or wait for racing incidents may result in removal from playlist and warnings given. We take responsibility for our accidents seriously.
