Update in the Original Post: I may take part to the event since I found a easy and fast way to count the points and have the current standings after each race. If AbeCede 's www.gtaracing.net for whatever reason does not work, I'll back out and manage the starting procedure and enter manually all the times while you do the stages. there's 2 places but no me I'm oddly confused I was just testing with data found on abe's website |

Since I'm not sure to be available on the event's a evening, I'd like to sing up as a reserve if possible. Tank you
(I still have doubts about how the times will be measured on the whole stages, but Ill it's not a major issue)

(I still have doubts about how the times will be measured on the whole stages, but Ill it's not a major issue) I want the game to accuratly display your racing lap. I see 2 ways of doing it in GTA: - Point to point races
- The other way
Point to point races can be done with contact but are not precised as the players may need to start at a given time on the clock. This will lead to people jumping starts and futur chaos. The other drawback is that the other half of the players will have to finish maximum 30s after the mid-finishing guy. Lets say we have 30 drivers. 30/2=15 in 30s means that we will have to start 2s one after the other one without disturbing each others... Impossible. The other way is the one we are going to use for this event. The game shows you your best lap. It also gives you your total racing time, but only if you do not DNF. We also want a gap between each cars without making it an advantage or an disavantage for anyone. Plus, it has to be as accurate as possible. So we need: - A warm up lap
- A racing lap
- A cool down lap
The warmup lap is here so we can have a clean starting procedure. The racing lap is self explaining. The cool down lap is only here to avoid any DNF during the racing lap. In order to have the racing lap displayed as the fastest lap, the warmup and cool down laps are significantly longer (~ +30s) I hope I was clear enough. |

[...] My doubts are about how the tracks are made. Each ingame lap is actually half the stage. Basically the fastest lap is gonna measure the half where someone is faster. I hope I'm wrong lol, but that's what I saw |

Ok, I've retested everything.
I took me 1,5 Hours to go threw the entire playlist in event condition.
This is without adding the Starting procedure.
So for now. Signups are closed and my tracks deleted from the event.
I'll keep you informed about the incoming news.

If it's because your are racing as well then you can delete my tracks too. This doesn't make sense to me |

I do not want to go down to a 5s gap for the starting since it will reduce the quality of the races. A 10 Track playlist with last 2 hours and 45 minutes if we take 2,5 minutes between each races (clouds, lobbie etc..) A 8 Track playlist with last 2 hours and 10 minutes with the same parameters. radas59, I am not racing. I am organising the whole thing. |

Ok guys, Stage 4 and 9 are cancelled.
I had planned a 2 hours 10 stages event with 10 mins for each track + margin.
But the event went more popular than expected and the starting gap had to be increased from 5 to 10s to make it safer.
You have signed up for a 2 hour event and I do not want you to not being able to finish it due to irl stuff. Even if only one of you can't stay lounger.
2 out of 10 is not that much and we all should have a good time together. At least I had fun retesting all those lovely tracks.
Sorry for the inconvinient. I really hope you'll all get my point and can't wait to see you next Monday.
FORGET WHAT I SAID. I've done some maths:  We do all track and signups are reopenned. Having 5 people less would only save us 5 minutes. You will just have to follow my instructions. |
