[PC] MCEC Season 4 Secondary Championship

Round 2 Info

Race Info
Olympic Grand Prix on Saturday the 26th. Qualifying will start around 7PM UTC (8PM UK, 3PM EST, Noon PST). Meetup location is the same as the main, the parking lot to the east of the start finish - if you guys have prepared shennanagins of your own that's fine, but I don't think Broughy is actually coming this time...

Reserves
If you asked for a reserve in the thread, you will be given the higher priority reserves based on when you asked for the reserve. We'll change to the main format of reserve selection next races, what I tried to do here is dumb.

The current need for reserves is:
Two GT4 Spots
Three GT5 Spots

The people who requested reserves in order are:
-J3rry-Acinonyx-
firefly
key
actualpanda
Sunken

Teamspeak Channels
For any new drivers - You will go into a channel with your 3 other teammates, and use in-game voice (or text) for callouts or other issues where you need to speak to me or another driver during the race.

Wwe are going to use in-game voice as the global chat, I recommend you set it up beforehand, but I will go over it and let people test it with me before the race. Here's the screenshots of my settings I shared in the main championship - 1. i.imgur.com/QGkMXmH.jpg 2. i.imgur.com/UZLqFGD.jpg 3. i.imgur.com/XTGDPom.jpg

Pitstops
Same as the primary championship, you simply need to drive through the pitstop - no respawns, no stops. I will not shoot or otherwise interact with you while you pit. You should have moltovs or shoot/kick your car before the race to ensure the wrenches will work for you. Only one pitstop each race. Pits Open Lap 3, and close on the final Lap.

GT4 Laptimes
Can some GT4s PM me or post their best/average laps? I need to calculate how many laps we should do to get 60 minutes of GT4 racing.

Edit: We will do 26 laps, thanks!

Car Modifications
The only vehicle restrictions are listed on the main spreadsheet (Tires and Horn). You must also color your car per team colors (no neon restrictions - run any config and any color you wish).

Finishing Procedure
This season we will move to a new finishing procedure for the races which is more in line with real life endurance racing. After the GT4 leader has crossed the line to win the race, the race is deemed to be over and everyone still racing is on their final lap, meaning everyone who crosses the line after the GT4 leader has then finished their own race despite what the lap count says. Once GT5 cars (and any lapped GT4s) have crossed the line after the GT4 leader you must stop further down the road before the first corner and park up in the order in which you finished, nose to tail. The pit watcher and/or the spectator will be at the finish line to record the final race times that everyone finishes and to be sure of the order. Once everyone has finished GT5 drivers will continue to drive around in order to start the race timer. This all means that each race will last the same amount of time for each GT, everyone has a defined finishing point (ie. not a DNF timer) and it helps to alleviate potential problems with invisible walls.

Invisible Walls
This has been an issue for a while and it is not confirmed what causes it. Theories are spectators, DCs or simply at random when people finish the race, but essentially it could be the case that an invisible wall spawns somewhere on the track after the leaders finish. The above finishing procedure will help alleviate this (all players may have passed the location of the invisible prop on their final lap when it spawns for example) but if there is an instance where an invisible wall spawns and affects the race a red flag will be declared and the finishing positions taken at that point. Video evidence of this would be helpful so keep things recording. This is likely to only happen at the end of the race and may not happen at all, but it's good to have a procedure in place in case this bug does appear at any stage.
