[PC] Coquette Coastline Clash (COMPLETE)

I have a few followup questions I'd like to ask on how the event went, feel free to reply publicly or in private if you'd like, and feel free to not answer all. Thanks in advance!

1. Did the pre-race setup take too long (i.e. getting cars saved, and then spawned again)? Basically, bar grim needing restart issues, this is possibly as fast as it may go without bigger issues. It can also go faster if people showed up earlier, is that something we should just mandate and be stricter on?

2. Did you like the 10 laps between pit rules? Did it make pitting more strategic? Frustrating? Was it easy to understand (only answer that one if you read the post beforehand...)?

3. Did the warmup laps feel like they decreased first corner issues? (With everyone getting some time to feel out the car and be around others, did it help with control early in the actual race?)

4. Would you be okay with a system where there was one extra lap, and you pulled off to the side (to an area designated on the track, like a second pit lane) in finishing order at the end? (This would avoid the invisible prop issue for now, and also let all GTs run the full length for sake of pit rules).

5. Did you like the staggered start between GTs, or would you rather have all GTs start at once?

1. To me it didn't feel like it took too long, at least not when considering the procedure required to make the event happen. I don't know if it is needed to start earlier, think it should be clear that it can take a while to get everything set up. Maybe it could help to offer another date to set things up, like doing some of the car saving after the daily playlist.

2. It felt a it more realistic, but imo it reduced the strategy aspect quite a bit (apart from maybe the first stop) since it evened out the pit strategies quite a bit. Maybe reduce the amount of laps between the pit stops a bit, but it kinda depends on how many pit stops you need to do with how many laps total. But it's certainly not a bad idea.

3. I think it was more down to having at max ten people in the group. The warm-up for example didn't start that well, maybe that crash served as an example on what not to do. But likely helped the people who didn't practise much.

4. Yes, and I will certainly implement such a rule in my next event.

5. For me this depends on a few factors. It is good to avoid first corner incidents and helps to get the action going if you drive on a long track and/or if the pace-gap between GTs isn't that big. On a short track with bigger performance differences between the classes I'd prefer starting in a closed group.

1. It was a little bit too long ppl started geting bored and it started looking like daily playlist loby, saving cars was ok for me meybe because in my head i was thinking about it as officials are checking our cars if we have legal parts/setups

2. I do like the idea i could not test it ( game crash ) it can be little bit scary after u pit u cant rly crash it can be changed if u want to pit before 10 laps u need to take extra 5-10 sek repair + refueling

3. Cant tell i was alone in first corner, but im sure it did help i didnt hear any angry voices.

4. I would be ok with that, in rare occasions it can bring some trouble with ppl finishing close to each other

5. I do like staggered starts, its decreasing possibility for first corner crashes

1) No, I think it was reasonable with one person doing the job. If anything I would just suggest that someone with equal experience with the mod help out to streamline it/provide backups

2) I like it, but at the same time it does kind of cement your place in standings if you are needing to do one more pit and people behind you don't have to. But at the same time, that's also a consequence of not being as fast, so what do I know

3) Yes. If anything I think the first lap being a pacer and then the second lap being warm up would be even better

4) God yes. Might implement that in my event, but might be too late to announce

5) Staggered starts are a god send. Also really spreads out the GT's and makes them feel like they are racing each other rather than racing everyone else

Honestly if #3 gets good replies I was gonna try to pressure you and the strat group to add it to SAGTC :^) And with just the normal R* grid, not the real starting grid, so that you don't learn too much about the people you will actually start against.

Success:

I had a few nice battle with Oh_Darn and piguy3141, gg mates.

1: I blame doompenguin for the delay, since he didn't paint his car to the right colors. In a serious note, I don't think it was way too long, nothing that wasn't reasonable. Maybe it would help if a few more people can send in the setup files earlier.

2: I had a pretty even spread between the pits (12-11-12-15), and all 3 was strategic. There was no point in the race where I said to myself, I wish I could pit now. If it did anything for me, it made it easier to read other driver's races.

3: Yes

4: No idea, but it wouldn't hurt to try it, right?

5: Depends. There is a reason both is being used frequently.
