Hi all, I've been really busy working witht he developers and haven't had time to really pay attention to our tradition. I do not want it to end either. Maybe we can plan next series together and find someone who wants to do the hosting. I can, if you guys want, provide some prizes we can raffle. If we can't agree on the series, we can of course do individual challenges while we plan the series. Start shooting ideas (please). Jussi

How about a series with special rules like the Forum Friday I saw earlier this year. The rule was that you couldn't go over a certain speed like 120mph. We can also do a no shortcuts rule to make races even more challenging. Something I would also find cool is a hot lap series. Where the best lap time is what counts. The only powerup allowed would be one more lap.

Speed restriction kinda harsh for me but the no shortcut seems kinda interesting

A series with only circuits with the best time and the best lap. But that would be two entries and quite difficult... I'm not a fan of the speed limit tho. And for the no shortcut, we'd really need to trust everyone.

And for the no shortcut, we'd really need to trust everyone. Some reasons I like hot lap events are... - No worry about AI blocking your start
- No worry about traffic ruining your run. (2 chances with OML)
- First lap acts as a practice lap
- No advantage to cosmic nos cars
- All track textures load on first lap. Reduces lag.

-Traffic madness, where we pick the tracks with the worst traffic. -Or we can do a "back in the days", where we use cars that were available before the Murcielago only. Just throwing ideas, it's hard to be creative.

How about adding some sort of limit. For example you're only allowed to tune cars with street parts.

I see a couple of problems with the hot lap series... 1. Lap times are not recorded in SpeedAPI 2. Someone is bound to spend 10 minutes on the first lap clearing all possible objects off the racing line What about a class series, where you'd have to use the same car for all events? Or manufacturer series where you'd have to stick to same manufacturer in all events? Audi (D to S), BMW (D to S), Chevrolet (D to S), Dodge (E to S), Ford (C to S), Lamborghini (C to S), Lexus (C to S), Lotus (C to A), Mazda (E to a), Mitsubishi (E to a), Nissan (E to S), Pontiac (E to a), Porsche (D to S), Renault (D to A), Scion (D to a), Subaru (D to a), Toyota (D to a), Volkswagen (E to a). For manufacturer series Nissan, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Porsche, Ford, Lamborghini and Lexus could work well for C, B, A and S classes. If we do just 3 classes from C to A, we could have even more options as well as with 4 classes from D to A. Jussi

Someone is bound to spend 10 minutes on the first lap clearing all possible objects off the racing line I don't really see #1 being much of a problem (because we can just see it on post race screen), but if the 6th digit is of that much value, then sure, I can see it being a problem. As for #2, that would (in some cases) be counterproductive, as some obstacles just generate by themselves on the next lap unless the AI hits them. What about a class series, where you'd have to use the same car for all events? Or manufacturer series where you'd have to stick to same manufacturer in all events? The problem with using the same car is that some/most people just don't have multiple classes of a car. Manufacturer series sounds better oriented for people with low slots and IGC players, but once again, not everyone has a manufacturer at all for the scope of the possible classes. For example (this may not be the best one), you most likely won't see a Ford in A class by an IGC player (sure mustang boss 12 or super snake, but with the recent rotations that have come, i wouldn't bet on that too much), and most likely not C because most Fords that I can think of belong in B class in terms of performance. And as cars get excluded as we go through the 2 rounds, thats even more problematic for those who don't have at least 2 cars of the same manufacturer in the same class.

Same goes for the other so for that reason I'm against this manufacturer series although it sounds interesting still it's impossible for igc players.

2. Someone is bound to spend 10 minutes on the first lap clearing all possible objects off the racing line We can make a rule stating that you must finish in 1st place. If you spend time breaking objects the AI will be an obstacle on your hot lap.

Jussi I like it but we need some special regulations to assist players who will be unable to own a car of a manyfacturer from every single class.
