[countdown:Time till pre-lobby opens:=October 09 2015 8:00 PM]It's happening![/countdown] (please be on time, i don't wanna delay half an hour) Just a quick reminder of the rules (for more details check the OP), and some tips: -NoDo racing guidelines apply, except blue flag. (wait if you cause a crash, even when not for position) -If you cause a crash on the X-over, you MUST go through the nearest pitlane IMEDIATELY. (Obviously you should try not to cause collisions!) -On the short loops, don't go too wide when there's traffic. -On the longer loops, don't overtake on the inside (unless you're sure the car you're trying to pass is on the long loop too.) At the start, don't go on the timer, but wait for me to put some stickies. I will lead us around the track and both pitstops for 1 lap at reduced pace. No overtaking allowed during this lap! As soon as the second lap starts, I will pull off and detonate the stickies to signal the start of the race, and rejoin at the end of the pack. I think that sums it up quite well HYPE!!! Arcmauster, DR_PEPPERZ_, MrPenguin_87 (UNERGROUND3000), Robodark, OneWalrus, anthony1131tch, mammoth2112, kipper2323, xrcule14, Smelter_NL, reservoirdoc, reyaz4hmed786, O_-_-rIcKi-_-_O, JettaArts, petra_g16 (if any of you can't make it, please let me know asap, so I can try to find some last minute reserves if needed. Thnx)

petra_g16, I have a feeling xrcule14 is not gonna show up. So if you were able to switch shifts, you can take his place. There is room to join anyway, so you're welcome to join us regardless (this goes for you too JettaArts )

There always have to be last minute drop outs doesn't it Real life can have some awkward turns sometimes :/ I want AT LEAST 8 people to go through, maybe at a reduced number of laps, or on the original single 8-Track? Any less, and I think the whole concept of the race won't work, because there won't be enough action on the crossover to keep it interesting. Should this happen, we can decide on the spot what to do.

why does the timer say 5 hours for me?? I thought it was at 6 utc which is 2 for me, thus the reason I couldn't make it. If the timer is correct, and the thing is happening in 5 1/2 hours please let me know and I'll see if I can at least show up to the prelobby
Edit: oops nvm I guess the timer was different for people in diff time zones, so I got all excited for nothing

This was fun as hell KoBo_043 . I did WAY better than I thought I'd do. Was riding in 3rd for a while, then after two back-to-back wrecks I went back to 6th and stayed there. If we ever do this again, I'm down.

This was an event you can 't do with randoms. Thanks for organizing this one, KoBo_043! There was so much discipline at the crossover, and when there were issues, it was more fun than grief. Initially I was a bit sceptic about this kind of event, when I watched your promoting video clip, but after I checked the size of the track I wanted to join. For me it was just the right amount of traffic around the crossover, so your race wasn't going absolutley smooth, but neither was your race ruined by dozens of crashs. I even had the chance to almost catch up to you again, kobo, but then I was hit on the crossover and the gap was too big again. After all, I had a nice race, battling between position 7 and 10 was a lot of fun for me!

Timer is off appearantly. @driftin said it was UTC based, but I had to set it to my local time for it to be correct. I hoped it would be so for everybody, but appearantly not. Too bad a couple of you couldn't make it, it really was a ton of fun imo! Not to much bullshit about crashes, people kept to the rules, and I really had a good time. Also I think the double 8 track was a good choice, because the difference in speed when coming from the short or long loop made it a bit easier to decide wether to go for it or brake. GG to everybody, and thanks for joining! (results will be posted in a bit )
