(XB1) Grotti F1 World Championship Season 3 (24/06-05/08)

ok I'll stop, and I haven't told many people this but I sold my XB1 and I'm getting a PC sometime late next week. So good luck with the event and I hope it continues well

Yes! Benefactor have overtook n/a

Once the qualifying has finished the race will be 'replayed' and the grid-order will be determined, based on each driver's fastest lap from the previous qualifying session. This process will be led by myself and the race officials, with the driver qualifying on pole position dictating which side of the starting grid they start on.

Rage-quitting will not be tolerated and will result in losing your place in the championship. Spectating the event is also forbidden.

Please remember you must wait for 10 seconds at the pit exit for each mandatory pit stop. Failure to do so will result in a penalty.

The mandatory pit windows are stated above. There is no overtaking in the pits unless a car ahead of you somehow makes a catastrophic mistake. When waiting to return to the track it is ideal to wait in the same formation that you entered the pits, meaning if you entered the pits behind another car you must form a queue behind that car. If you enter the pits side-by-side then form the queue as such, etc. There will be a pit watcher in the pits at all times. It is not their job to tell you when to rejoin the track and it is your job to enter the track safely. Bare in-mind that you can pit at any point in the race and not just the mandatory windows. If your car is damaged and you wish to pit outside of the mandatory pit windows then you do not have to wait for 10 seconds to re-enter the track, this is only necessary during the windows.

Any questions regarding anything else just let me know, cheers.

As the tables show below, the drivers championship has been confirmed mathematically with this race being the final race of the event. Ultimately the decision to cancel the final race was made during the race. With two of the three contenders leaving during the race whilst I remained in the race until the end, it all but confirmed the race and championship result provided I didn't DC, which I didn't. The main aim of this event was not to determine who could drive (put up with) a Turismo around a track fast, but more as an indicator as whether F1 still had a place in GTA racing for Xbox, and I believe it does. Now, whilst Season 2 itself had barely finished before I came along with this event, it was clear that F1 needed to be changed to be compatible for GTA Racing. There are obviously a number of external factors that will affect an event's success. As for everything else, this event was my first ever event as a host and only my fourth as a competitor and I'm allowed to make the wrong decisions, provided I learn from them.

Looking ahead to the future of F1, yes a Season 4 will happen but with huge changes and these depend on you guys and your feedback. Whilst most of my organisation this event has been satisfactory, my decision making probably hasn't and therefore I want to leave the decisions to the people who matter, the drivers. If anyone wants to assist, suggest or generally help with the planning of Season 4 then that is welcomed, but again this is a long way off. Until then I hope to run more events and provide more opportunities for others to race and hopefully improve competitive Xbox One racing.

A huge thank you to the race officials who made the event possible as well as the track creators. Mostly, thank you to the drivers who actually turned up and completed in my event. Yes it was plagued by people leaving, DC's, a sporadic safety car and T1 Dead choking, but overall I actually enjoyed hosting it.
