I can see why this is being cancelled. It's a small, repetitive track which on your own is killing to drive for a long time. However with enough people it can be interesting. I have experience with one of my previous events.
If there's really this many people signed in, cancel it. Otherwise everyone'd just leave halfway through the race because the track becomes too boring.

Prutoog , if people weren't interested, we wouldn't have signed up for this. We're all keen to still do the race but since there are less people than expected, I recommend shortening the event. The point of NASCAR events is to be battling (or around others) at all times. I'd say keep the event on, but maybe half the length. Then I think it will stay fun even after we spread out

If you no longer go for a gap that doesn't exist. You're no longer a nodo playlist driver!

Alright it seems most of you are up to do this. Good! We will go as planned for now. I (we) will deside on the day itself in regards to the race length. As said the fun in turning left is constant battling with people. That's why I wasnt sure if it would be as fun with less then 20ish drivers. But I can still see the benefits of the amount of sign ups we currently have. Firstly, less cluster collisions. Secondly, some chances for clean air to push and take a breather. GalantEvo do you have a sultan RS? If we have an uneven number of drivers you can fill a spot and race too (or take the pits and have Daleks (@darkalex45) fill in) and the SC will be whoever is the current leader at that point.

I don't think that I want to race when we have not many signups. For me the fun is in the battles and crashed with 25-28 people. It's Nascar, we watch it for crashes not for racing

I have no experience about past Nascar-like events but I'd imagine this really would need some 20+ players to be fun. Idk, maybe just wait a little longer. Why not promote this in your today's playlist as one of the tracks with only Sultan RS allowed? Just so many laps it'd be some 10-15 mins long race.

Just gonna let you know why i don't signup. I love the track, always had great fun on it. Host is great as well. Saturdays are usually no good for me although i could've probably made it happen this saturday. Main reason is just that i don't own a sultan rs and i don't want to "borrow" one in an event like this. I think a lot of people did get the sultan rs but maybe people sold them already and in general they're just really expensive so that might be a reason for low signups. Also, we have plenty of events recently, maybe people are just overwhelmed. I wish you all the best for the event though!

Well I might consider to join, but I don't want to change all that mandatory stuff on my Sultan RS. So I rather borrow a car from someone

Would be boring with less than 20 - I think the low turnout is partly due to the slightly later time, but also the Senora ring doesn't have that same nascar feel as the other Oval tracks we have.

I guess I should probably say a few things on the matter since I've played a minor role in organizing this event: 1. Broughcar showed us that 17 starters (race 2) was good enough for an action-packed, 45-minute race. This track is considerably longer than the one used for that race (20.6 seconds/round versus 13.4 seconds/round) but I think we can get similar results if we can get about 5 more people on board from now until the event start. 2. If we end up not having that many starters, I agree with Just Hero 's suggestion to shorten the race, perhaps to as small as a 50-lap (x2 = 100 round) event. 3. wishofghost1 , @novesori : Me and FriendlyBaron have speculated that the time slot, which is a couple of hours later than last time, may be preventing otherwise interested people from joining in. There is also the issue that this event conflicts with another event. (Notice how there's a decent-sized group of people that liked the OP but have not opted to join in.) Prutoog can't move up the time any due to his schedule, however. Additionally, some of the then-newer members that signed up for Broughcar have gone missing from the crew. (The most notable being nitrous-flare, who deleted his account suddenly in mid-April.) I have went through the effort of tagging past Broughcar participants (and a few players who expressed at some point some interest for this style of racing) in a previous post to try and get them into this but those efforts have not been very successful (up to this point). 4. Volvo.Markkanen , it's worth noting back when we did Broughcar in late March we actually did a few things in the daily pl to build hype for it, the most notable being this oval showcase held back in February: Me and Pru considered the idea of running oval showcase 2 before this event but felt it would be more appropriate to do it at a later time (The stunt prop update could happen any point this summer, so it could lead to better oval tracks. Also, me and Pru have some ideas for oval racing related events beyond this one.) 5. For those who are interested but may not be able to afford the car: Worst-case scenario happens we'll provide you with cars. (At least, I will.) 6. Tagging a few more people who may be interested in this. If I tagged you and you didn't want to be a part of this sorry I tagged you in advance: Oh, speaking of hype, footage from Broughcar to hype up those who are currently slated to drive in this:

I don't really like these kind of events, that's why I signed up as safety car. And yes, I do have a Sultan RS.
