The solution is so simple: we'll do a couple of sprint races, and the fast drivers enter a slower car each round! As easy as pie! So let me present to you this great format:
RD's SECOND TIERDROP EVENT
We did the first about a week ago, and implemented some suggestions to make the event even more funner:A tierdrop event consists of four 14 minute sprint races. The first round of the event has a qualifying session and the actual sprint race. In this first round everyone drives the same car.
Now it gets special: At the end of each round close the game and rejoin as soon as the server has switched to the next one. Each driver of the top half finishers will be given a car that's about 3% slower than the one they just drove.
The other drivers keep their current car. There is no more qualifying, instead the starting grid is set up like this: The grid is divided into groups of the same car. Slowest cars at the front, fastest cars at the back. The drivers in each car group are placed in order of their finishing position in the previous race.
Additional space between each group of different cars will be reserved automatically, which should act as insurance that typical first corner issues are kept to a minimum.
The winner of the event is determined in the very last race - the driver in the slowest car who crosses the checkered flag first is the champion! (The very, very best drivers may even drive a different, slower car each round, if they keep being in the top half finishers!)
So sign up to see how you will cope in this situation. Practicing for the event is ALMOST not possible (see below).
Other information:
- 30 minutes before the event starts, we'll post a message here with the track and cars of the event, so you can get a feel for the handling of the different vehicles. Not enough time to make a great setup, but still enough to get yourself aquaintaned with your cars.
- Each round is on the same track, which is a well known Kunos track with a lap time of not more than about 1:30, and all cars are Kunos cars. You'll either need the Ultimate Edition of AC, or these DLCs: Ready To Race Pack, Dream Pack 1, and Japanese Pack.
- Qualify will be only 10 minutes, and only for the first round.
