The North Loop Multi-Class Endurance

BTW guys, the items I posted before and in the first post when it comes to modding your car (carbon stuff in certain places, etc) are just guidelines. If you think it will look better in a different way feel free to do that. As long as the cars match up within teams we're golden

Broughy1322 Well, I think you would do your best to remember which position did you end up in. I don't think the lap 11 would be an issue, I count on people playing fair and not trying to cheat the finishing order. The issue would imo only be those split second finishes, where you want the game to tell you who won, rather than argue about it. I realize how would the "last Elegy waiting" technique work, but it would trigger with the first Penumbra anyway, and I don't think there's a chance of all Penumbras finishing within the time limit. You could have the Penumbras wait for each other too, but I think giving that extra lap is a more elegant option. Plue everyone should have be able to cross the finish line too. This isn't a random race, we can wait for the last person to cross the checkered flag, can we not?

And maybe when you're figuring out the exact timetable, consider the pre and post race events. Since we're putting so much work in to make this whole thing more fun, we should take the time to maybe do some team introduction and things like that before the race and then put the winners on a stand, do some photos and perhaps an interview after it. And it would be a shame to see you run off to the other platform immediately after the race.

Okay what we're going to do is just run the race normally. We're not going to wait another 6 minutes for Penumbras to get around another lap. In the WEC or any other multi-class event the race is ran and finishes when the first placed guy crosses the line. The guys in the lower classes just do less laps. So we're going to run the race normally and screw the timing for the Penumbras XD

As for points, we'll have the usual 15 for first, 12 for second, etc, except that will get repeated for the penumbra class too (so 15 points for the winners of both classes). Add em up at the end and we're sorted.

Amazing we even have this since I didn't plan on this being a team event either haha.

Btw, there is a podium in-game you would just need a heli to lift the cars up there

Need sleep but can't stop checking in on this thread...

I think Broughy's solution is ideal, just keep it simple and run as a normal race.  In F1, if the safety car comes out on the last lap, then you're stuck in whatever position you were in at that moment.  At least here the Penumbra drivers have the advantage of knowing when the race will end.  Once you see 6^th or 7^th place cross the line, you know that the countdown timer is coming.  Everyone knows exactly when the race will end, so it's fair game and you should be racing as if you were on the final part of the final lap.  Once the countdown ends, it's like the SC was deployed and all positions were frozen.  Everyone may have DNFs, but the leaderboard will be accurate.  Just my $0.02.  Also, RON sucks. :-P  (I love rivalries too)

Pretty sure I've already witnessed Twilicane run an under 5 min lap, but luckily he won't be in the race on Sunday
