Crew v Crew World Cup Invite 1-2 teams of 4 drivers from major racing crews. Depending on # of teams/crews involved, split the teams into a few pools, those pools play each other, then everyone is seeded based on record into a tournament. Teams then battle each other on their way to the World Cup of GTA Racing. Just an idea.

I think once the MCEC events for PS4 and XBone are done, a CvC would be an awesome thing for Broughy to stream.

Used to do them often and it was a really enjoyable, competitive environment where you also met new friends. Don't know why we don't do them anymore, at least I haven't done one since the Xbox 360 days. Would love to see them make a return. As you said also, a tournament would be incredibly fun, but very time consuming.

You have crews like Sweat Buckets taking GTA Racing to the extreme, and I can't imagine them giving up any of their "proper racing" rules. Other crews would also not agree with their rules etc. It's just a shame we can't all agree on one rule set. Personally, I think the whole of GTA Racing is an amazing experience. Whether that be R* races, non contact, contact, user created tracks. Others however decide to limit themselves to one particular type and refuse to do anything else and try something new. Precisely why such an amazing concept will most likely never happen.

Precisely why such an amazing concept will most likely never happen. I completely understand many of the points your making. I don't think it's impossible to make happen. Many of the major crew leaders do communicate with each other. Coming up with basic ground rules shouldn't be too difficult. My thoughts would be that it MUST be a contact event. Otherwise, why even race each other? Everyone could just race by themselves and post their times, it really is no different than doing a non-contact race, and at least no one has to worried about dropped poles. How any crew can run purely on non-contact is beyond me... what is this, ghost racing?The curb surfing issue is a bigger concern. While some crews who are against it can enforce their view via their track choices, they might be upset when it came to other tracks that were wide open for the surfing. TBH I think most in NoDo except the hardcore hot lappers are against curb surfing and recognize it for the absurd bullshit that it is.

TBH I think most in NoDo except the hardcore hot lappers are against curb surfing and recognize it for the absurd bullshit that it is. My attitude has always been that if people want to go for risky lines to get the curb then go for it. I don't necessarily like curb surfing on the straights, sometimes I do it and other times I don't. But I won't hesitate to use curbs on the entrance and exits of corners to get a better line. Some players have a problem with that, which I personally find ridiculous. I am not going to ruin the exit or entry of a corner just because a curb is there. Why must the whole thing be contact? A mix of contact and non contact is the only thing I see the community agreeing on. GTA Race Crew for example are mainly a non contact crew. They should not have to give that up just because NoDo, Apex, SB etc believe that contact is better/more fun. Some of the best and closest racing I've had has come during non contact. In contact, you often find one person can escape all the first corner drama and drive off into the distance. Non contact keeps the racing much closer and more intense.

Contact vs. Non Contact is a huge issue. In my experience, those who race primarily non-contact don't do well in a contact situation because they forget that other people are actually on the track with them. IMO, non-contact is noob racing. But, back to the point at hand... since this would be a big contention, if we actually did run this event, well, I guess the non-contact crews are SOL. They can run their own if they choose. The bigger haggling point would most certainly be what tracks and how to race around them. I guess we can blame this on R* (as usual). Had crew sizes been smaller, there'd be more racing crews with similar philosophies (4 that race like GTA Race Crew, 7 that race like Sweat Buckets, 5 that race like NoDo, etc.) Instead we've got a small handful of large racing crews with very different philosophies on how to race.

Its far more trouble than its worth. I could say a lot more but Ill leave it at that. If you really want to pursue this Tandur message me on skype or private message on the forums.
Imo inner-crew battles go a lot more smoothly and we have nothing to prove against any crew.

Crew vs Crew events led me here to NODO. Would love to see them come back in some shape.
