Drivers, since this is a Multi Manufacturer Multi Class event, please have your car choice in by 17:00 EDT | 21:00 GMT Friday to guarantee your car selection so we can finalize the practice server for Saturday morning and the race server for later that day. Late signup's get what's left on a first come first served basis. Thank you for understanding.

If you sign up, show up or sign out no later than 1 hour before Official Practice starts. Failure to do so will prohibit you from participating in the next Multi Class event. Thank you for understanding.

There will be a drivers meeting after official practice to make sure we're all on the same page.

There will be BoP. I will post the settings here and in the race thread as soon as I finalize them. Then I'll put the practice server up. I hope to have this done by Tuesday at the latest.

Our first MC event went off very well thanks to the drivers working together and has set us up for many more of these events. We may be getting some live streaming from Joseph Wright from time to time so let's show the public how it's done. When he does stream the field will be +1 unless we are on a track that only has 24 grid slots. We're trying to avoid small grids because of the popularity, but some of the Mod Tracks are very GPU / CPU demanding and not optimized very well. When this is the case we will try and provide 2 severs and Joseph will decide which Server to stream from.

Qualifying will be expanded to 40 minutes. This gives a little more time for each class and we can take a break while the other class is on track. Don't be late returning. Race will go off on time whether your in your car or not. That goes for me too The format remains the same:

LMP Cars have the track for the first 20 minutes. If you cross the start finish line before the countdown clock hits 20:00 minutes you may finish that hotlap and then return to the pits.

GT2/E Cars start rolling out of their pit box when the clock hits 20:00.

LMP Drivers: Please make sure to have your headlights on so it's easy for the GT2 drivers to identify you. Please take care and patience when and where you pass especially if two GT2 cars are fighting for position. They will allow you to pass asap. NO RAGE QUITTING. If you do, you will not be allowed to participate in the next Multi Class event.

GT2/E Drivers: Please take care to not have your headlights on. Only the LMP cars should have them on so they can be easily identified in our mirrors. The LMP cars are much faster, so please do not try and race them to prolong the inevitable pass that they WILL make. Just hold your line and speed.
You must obey BLUE FLAGS. Those of us in this class will be lapped, I'm sure, by the LMP cars and probably more than once.
If you're battling for position with another GT2 car, it is the LMP cars responsibility to make the pass in a safe way and your responsibility to give them adequate room when they do. Just hold your racing line. They have the power and grip to just fly by. NO RAGE QUITTING. If you do, you will not be allowed to participate in the next Multi Class event.
A message to all Drivers
If you run off track, you have to check and see that its clear before you re-enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.
When entering the track from the pits stay off the racing line until you are up to speed and do not race on your out lap. Let other drivers by in qualifying.
On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car. Remember, you've made the mistake by going off so let them by cleanly.
Golden Rule

1. Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Hello everyone. I'd really like to attend this race, but I'm west coast US. I have a really good connection, but Europe is pretty far away from me. I saw my ping in TeamSpeak was 167ms.
