Team 4 doesn't have a name but I'd like to suggest The Chrome Army sponsored by West Coast Classics (since it's the most swag radio station and we're rocking the chrome picadors) if that's ok with my teammates DR_PEPPERZ_ Brady TallestJohn By the way, I'm so pumped for this event. We did some practice runs earlier with 11 players and 7 or 8 in Picadors. It's such a fun car to drive on this track and I can't wait to see a full grid of utes going at it tomorrow.

Besides my epic crashing downhill, those races were so much fun! I'm still a rookie, racing in super or sports cars still gives me trouble. But slower classes/cars like the picador is just the right pace for me to actually drive pretty good. Hence the fast time that I posted earlier.

I might aswell share a solution for the sticky bomb start that I thought would work out quite well. It goes like this: Everyone goes on the formation lap except for the guy starting last (me). In the time that everyone are going around the formation lap, I will set the sticky bombs and wait by the last corner and join up with the group as you come around there, then I will detonate the bombs and the race will be off. Note: I will have to do the first lap at full speed before you go around to not be a lap behind at the start. Just a thought I had after reading your discussion Duchartre and Pundip.

UPDATE: DR_PEPPERZ_ Dim shinx aka MyComingBack marklyell @hiberg TDWPMark Duchartre Alex_Drastisch fox4flame del seanifferson Brady KoBo_043 TallestJohn cloudmcshortSo it turns out I was completely wrong about sticky bombs de-spawning after a certain distance The new procedure will be as follows: After the countdown I will make my way up to the front and place a few sticky bombs to the left of CP1. They will be on the pavement over by the entrance to the bank so that everyone should be well out of the blast radius. While I am doing that you guys can all start getting into your positions. Once I am back in my car, I will join up in my grid slot and we can begin the formation lap. The rest will be exactly the same, so we will go via the pits etc... Except now, the slower pace must be kept until I detonate the sticky bomb. DR_PEPPERZ_ I will do my absolute best to keep an eye on when you cross CP1 from back in P8, at this point I will detonate the sticky bombs and we will be green flag racing. Sorry about any confusion...and I hope that this is now cleared up

Looking forward to the rolling start. Bit ironic there's a very effective speed limiter in the form of catchup but we don't have one for formation laps/rolling starts. That would be fine marklyell but I would like to put forward the team name Chromatics cos:

Just as info: when doing the mission BlowUp2, you can sticky the cars, drive to Simeons, and detonate from there. (easy instafinish w/o cops ) So you can place the stickys high up on the buildings along the straight and detonate from where- and whenever you see necessary. Reach shouldn't be a problem. Ed. I should read everything before posting smh @ me.

Duchartre I understand what you are saying, I really do but I am sorry to say that there will be no change to the way things are now. It is set. I have done many, many rolling starts in GTA. As part of several Apex Stalkers events rolling starts were done often and not once was maintaining a slower speed a problem. A few months back Shaggy and the SB crew implementing a rolling start where no one could over take until after the first corner and once again...there were no issues with it. Standing grid starts and qualifying were not a thing in NoDo until my events last summer. I incorporated them into my F1 Championship last summer and look how well they have been taken on. Almost all NoDo events have either one or both of those things now and even the crews main event, the MCEC has a grid start that was not done at all before. I participated in Apex events that had them and floated the idea around over here...people loved it and it caught on. I am hoping this does the same again because having some variety is awesome. Yes, having a green flag equivalent would be ideal but it just is not possible. If I were to throw a sticky bomb I would not only have to maintain my speed and position in the lineup but also throw a sticky bomb out of the window and detonate it, making sure that it is far enough away from the track that it doesn't blow anyone up and destroy their car. That is something that I am not willing to do. In a rolling start you have to be alert and ready to react when the car in front of you speeds up. It's not like each person has to wait until they are across the start line before they can race, they can race as soon as P1 does. At the end of the day this is a one off event that is just for fun, hence why we are driving Picadors. They are far from ideal race cars, if I really wanted this to be serious I would have said Comets, Coquettes and Carbonizzares only to replicate the GT3 feel. I am sorry that I haven't managed to please you during this whole organisation phase but I really have tried my best. I have done my best to keep everyone informed of the decision making from the get go. I have read every single post in this thread and done my best to incorporate everyones wants, needs and wishes but sadly it is impossible to please everyone, but I assure you that I have tried my damn hardest to make 15 other people as happy as possible. I have failed EDIT: Wow that was longer than I anticipated it to be. Sorry for the essay...if anyone reads it all they can have a cookie where's my cookie!!!!!
