So yesterday we had our North Loop 10 lap endurance race. Seems the ps3 guys had more of a problem with losing connection than us xbox guys but all in all it seemed to be a good success. ( aside from our crew leader forgetting to insure a car and generally making a large booboo before the xbox race ( see the video im sure that part will be uploaded  ) from my point of view as an elegy driver the penumbra drivers were very heads up in their driving, constantly communicating with anyone coming up to lap them and making space for the faster cars. This leads me to believe we can do this multi class format on smaller tracks I.E LSGP without too much conflict. Id be interested to hear anyone elses opinion on possible tracks / cars to use in the future. |

I consider the race a great success from our side, but a big fuck up from R* side. I mean 14 and 11(!!!) racers finishing, that's just not acceptable. But unless they're planning some changes, there's nothing we can do. I have a question for people who played GTA 4 online on both a console and the PC. Was it the same deal with MP on consoles? And if so, was it any better on the PC? I want to know if I should hold any hopes for the PC version, if it ever comes out. I have already heard many good ideas for the next race we do, so the only thing I think I can bring to the table is an offroad race. I think that would be immensely enjoyable. There are many options for different vehicle combinations within that class, because some of the vehicles are so far apart in terms of speed. I think we could do like Sandkings vs Injections vs Sanchezes. That would make a very busy track. Sandking is so big you'll have trouble putting two side to side on any place on the map.  Injections are fun and fast offroads and drivers of the Sanchez would have a blast dodging all that. And if we could make a good track to support this kind of race, I think it would make for a killer combination, even if offroad racing isn't our usual cup of tea. |

I'd love to see an LSGP endurance multi-class race. I'd also like to more than just 16 racers on each console. I think that after Broughy's video comes out (which I am dreading since I made a huge mistake in front of him), there will be a lot more interest. Non-contact qualifying, heat races, B & A mains, points... there are a lot of ways to ensure everybody gets to race. Plus, you'd be racing against people of similar skill.

I really like the idea of offroading fighting your way trough the pack with a sanchez hoping not to get killed by some overcompensating redneck in his sandking |

Race modded Rebels vs. Nagasaki Blazers would be awesome.

i do think the tracks in question ( aside from lsgp) should be slightly longer something around 4 miles. set an average laptime and multiply it up to near an hour of racing

I think sports is a great class to stick with seeing as theres more of them than any other class I'm quite fond of the Futo could be interesting.. Offroad sounds fun too!

the gap between the cars dosen't have to be ridiculously big as the elegy penumbra was saying that i could be keen for massacro + futo
depends if u can find anyone willing to drive a futo for an hour :L

Why only 2 cars? We can also have more cars that are a little closer to each other. And the team aspect would be even more fun with letting your team mate trough and for someone else make it harder to pass if possible, bc with the penumbra's it's logic to just let the elegy's pass, they couldn't defend and it would just be blocking.

i think two people on a team is enough as we've already had one endurance race just keep the same teams or post if they've changed colours / sponsors / drivers .... could always just be same cars but teams of two aswell ..

I'm thinking the next one should be a battle between race prepared comets, massacros and jesters, with 5 teams of 3 people, for that ultimate WEC feel.

I have a Jester I barely ever use. Hopefully people won't mind spending money on premium cars they'll only use for one race. Comet isn't exactly a popular car. The cars classes would probably mix up with each other a lot. Massacro ain't gonna save you if a Jester or even a Comet has a better driver behind the wheel. |
