30 (GTA) Hours of North Rock Raceway
(Wed) 3rd October 2012 - 8:15PM BST
This will be the second running of the NRR race, the first one was held in early September 2011. This year we have a new live timing system that we can put to use which means class based racing will be present.
The race will be 30 minutes long meaning that there is no set amount of laps, you should just keep driving until the timer runs out and then complete the lap that you are currently on.
You need to remember that Project Apollo: Freeroam is an RPG server and so you will need to take on more fuel at various stages in the race. We will be providing fuel free of charge for the race, same with vehicle repairs.
If anybody needs (has) to fill up then they can drive into the pit lane which is situated on the start/finish straight and then stop next to a fuel pump, your vehicles fuel tank and damage will then be automatically dealt with.
This race will be split into five main classes and then an open class, the classes are as follows:
P1 - Hotring/Infernus
P2 - Bullet/Cheetah
PC - Banshee/Turismo
GT - ZR-350/Comet
GTC - SuperGT/Jester
OP - Any other land going vehicle
We have 4 spaces open in each class (P1-GTC) with OP having an unlimited amount of spaces. Please state which class and vehicle you would like to race with.
The idea behind the class based racing is that there are 6 different chances to win, which would be a class win, and then obviously there is the overall victory.
The biggest thing that you will have to remember is that the lower down the list you go the
slower the vehicles become. You will need to make sure that if a faster class of vehicle is approaching to overtake or lap you, you need to move out the way. This goes for anybody that is being lapped, move over to the side of the track and let the player that is lapping you through.
We don't have an automatic line up system so we expect competitors to be mature when lining up, anyone that isn't lining up properly will be disqualified from the event before it starts.
Now I know a lot of you will probably want to enter but we only let in about 20-30 people maximum that know how to
race properly and not ram everyone off the track. You shouldn't go forcing your way through past another competitor for position and you shouldn't try and make a move that won't stick, it will screw you and the other driver other. The important thing is that you get to the end of the race (30 mins) so you won't be winning the race at the first corner, it will be through raw speed and pit stop strategy.
If you have crashed out the race, your vehicle won't start or you have ran out of fuel, try to make your way to the side of the track and park up in a safe position off the racing line.
If anbody needs to leave the event then they should either quit (/q) the server or leave (/leavenrr) the event.
As always, anyone that is not watching the race will be able to follow the race via
our new timing screen which can be found at
http://freeroam.project-apollo.co.uk/mts/The event will be held on the Project Apollo: Freeroam (project-apollo.co.uk:7777) using the North Rock Raceway Endurance filterscript. The North Rock Raceway is a custom built track out in the sea near the Los Santos airport. If you wish to practice our server is always open and available for you to do so.
