I'm terribly sorry for the next track not being updated yet, I didn't realized the race is so close. So I didn't prioritize my time to update the track. When I realized it's only a week away, I jumped in as soon as I could, but I lost a lot of process 2 times now. (Game crashes) And I can't be arsed to try to do it again today... I have muscle sore so bad I can't hold the controller, it's impossible to fine adjust on PC and GTA randomly deletes props I've spent minutes to positions exactly like it's on the original PS4 version.
I update the track after work tomorrow, starting with the layout change so you guys can start practicing as soon as possible.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience again.

Track layout is updated, so you can start practicing, the rest of the track is still getting updates in smaller parts. Sorry for the delay again. I'll do my best. PC DriversPC Reserves

Which track is it? I can't find an LSGP made by you Benimi, and the one I have bookmarked is by Evil_Tuinhek, and it's been changed since last time I played it (not that long ago), so I have a feeling that's the one, but then again, it's not by you. And I don't seem to be able to find a link anywhere

And I don't seem to be able to find a link anywhere its the lsgp by tunhiek. there is a link to a playlist of the 5 tracks on the spreadsheet by Brough on page one, you can grab the individual track there.

First of all: Thanks Benimi for updating the track and putting all the effort into it to make it available for the race! I know how incredibly time consuming it is to build a proper race track (not that I ever build one but I tried and failed big time ). Therefore, I bow down to those who sacrifice their spare time to help out with building tracks for such events and to those who volunteer to host such events or help in other roles, like pit watchers. I honestly mean this like I said it, even though the rest of my post might sound a bit bitter. and now the rant starts... because having said this, I have to add that I can't even express how disappointed I am that the old LSGP track was removed from the event . I might be one of very few people to say this but, believe it or not, it was one of my absolute favorite tracks! yes, it had some obvious flaws, like the edge on left side of the tunnel entry which could cause massive chaos if someone clipped it but I liked the flow of the old track so much! I saw many people dropping out of this event or at least for this round but I had decided that I would race even if there would be only 2 or 3 racers in GT4, simply because I like the track. Maybe I simply missed it but where and when in this thread was announced that the track would be completely changed? I did not have time to play GTA this week or last week (apart from 8 laps that I just did today). I knew this long before, so I practiced 3 weeks ago. Even though I play GTA for fun, I like the competition. And while it is still the most fun for me to battle wheel to wheel for many laps on the track, I can't deny that I am enjoying it more to battle for 3rd than for 23rd place. This is why I practiced on LSGP. And I was proud of the progress that I was making in laptimes, finding better lines around the corners, shaping of a tenth of a second here and there. I was really looking forward to the event, secretly hoping that I could maybe battle with the guys that are normally one level ahead of me this time. Now I see a completely different track, knowing that I will have almost no time to practice due to real life duties which for me means that I will need a lot of luck to not choke it several times in the new chicane or the terribly bumpy right turn that follows, while I was able to drive very consistenly on the old version. An additional problem that I have now is that this recreation is giving me micro stuttering on almost 100% of the track now. What was the reason to use the new version? Some might consider this to be a somewhat useless post, others might understand. But I just thought, I would leave my 0.02$ here.

There was a plan from the start of MCEC to have updated versions of all the tracks, not sure if it was explicit if you weren't around the main championship thread early on. It is a shame it happened so late.
As for reserves, I'm sure there will be plenty of open spots, if you want to race just show up.

I hate to say it, but as it turns out, I can't make it to the race tomorrow either. Really sorry about that. I think asking for a reserve at this point is useless.

It is a shame it happened so late. As for reserves, I'm sure there will be plenty of open spots, if you want to race just show up. No, I did not follow the thread for the main MCEC event. Therefore, it hit me as a big surprise. Actually only got aware of it when I started GTA yesterday to have a practice race on LSGP and noticed that the track was suddenly different. My first thought was that the creator might have changed the track but that there would hopefully be a backup version that can be used for MCEC secondary. I then checked the forums and found out that the new version will be the one we race on. But given the fact that the change happened now on very short notice, I wonder if it would not have been possible to simply stick with the old version and only use the updated one for MCEC main event (if it is mandatory). The tracks in the two MCEC events are not the same anyways. Nor are those on the different platforms. So one more different track would have made no difference and would have probably saved a lot of time on Benimi's side because he would not have to update the track for this deadline for a race which, as it looks right now, will be something like a 10 player race taking both GTs together. However, I understand that the decision to race on the new track was taken. I would just like to understand why it was taken.
