I'll try to be there tonight. Sorry about last week, I was at home around 21:00 my time, that's 1 hour after event start. No worries! Actually we did go longer than an hour last week, and I guess that's always gonna be the case as we will probably chill a bit in freeroam. Just feel free to join or quit anytime during the event if you have things going on in life :D The reason I ask for signups is so that I can know if there are too few people to host an actual themed event, or just have some chilled random races; and if no one signed up, I can cancel as well. This is not as popular an event as the GTA Weekdays Playlist so I gotta do it.

LeStevsDrifts (@steev) BTW, I tried experimenting with F-100. Snow tires put you straight into mid C class, which means you can't do much to upgrade engine power. There're gonna be some huge differences in terms of performance. I think we need to put down some tuning restrictions for it...

Although it wouldn't change much, so let's say we just keep it in c class, shall we?

I have a F-100 build that I have shared. It isn't stock. It is a Class D with a 6.2L V8 & AWD with 460bhp but it only has stock tyres. It is good fun on rally courses so might be good fun in the snow.

I'd go with something similar, didn't know you suddenly decided to change standpoint on engine and drivetrain swaps though.

I don't think I've ever decided drivetrain or engine though (apologize if I mistakenly mentioned that). I think it's a matter of how we want the race go. It could be stock tire + RWD + shit tons of power = intractable, or stock tire + AWD + fair amount of power = sane but fun race. I feel like John's setup works quite well for this event. Just to clarify, by restricting engine swaps I mean everyone should use the same engine, but not necessarily stock.

Honestly I think a challenge like getting a car through blizzard mountain should be handled without restrictions, call it build battles if you like, but I think it would be interesting to see what people can come up with, cram into c class and what they can achieve.

Hmm... That's one way of how an event can go, but I mean you can totally go to a random lobby, as random races are pretty much build battles, except that there might be some rammers. Having people gathered up with a specific theme is more like battling on skills instead of build. We all know how ridiculous my 360 was last time, and I don't think that was entirely because of my skills. Not everyone is good at tuning (and I'm not very good at it either), so not having any restriction might end up in too much performance difference and pure boredom. Edit: I'm not against your idea though. We can do some events focused on using different builds in the future.

We could say, with snow tyres, you wont be allowed to use all wheel drive.
