@MajorBlixem, race 1 or 2 for me please. Doesn't matter which one, just don't want race 3

With 15 racers there will be room for one extra person that could volunteer to broadcest the eventfrom a spectator angle. Start recruiting
Also, when the first and second drivers completed their respective runs they can also leave the race and spectate. Only drawback is that they won’t earn credits. Just make 100% sure not to cross the finish line and end the race prematurely

OFFICIAL PRACTICE
Thursday December 27th
Room will open at 9:00 PM EST.
(You don't necessarily have to showcase your Sunday Strategy, all we want to make sure everyone understands the concept and try to eliminate "that guy". You will need to use your "official" qualifier for every race through.

Sorry, Sir - the Event was limited to 5 teams of 3 drivers each - and all teams are filled.
Perhaps someone will not be able to participate - but in order for you to Substitute for that team you would need to have the 3 cars with their Livery - and for all 5 teams, since you wouldn’t know which team would need a Sub.
Soooo, it is doubtful that you would be able to enter the Event.

If unable to actually participate in the race; would be willing to come in as spectator & would broadcast race. Would just need some minor instruction on how to feed/post upon completion. COuld even take broadcast & do some stills once replays were posted as well for the site.

I was talking to @MajorBlixem about this last night. We should probably have a reserve list of drivers that can fill in as a last minute sub for a team. If someone has to pullout last second what do we do? You cant run this event properly with only 2 on a team.

A reserve drivers list is a great idea. In regards to cars/colors/liveries.
I think if at least one person from each team shared their livery, then the reserve driver (if called upon) could simply save whatever livery to their library and apply as needed. I think most, if not all participants have shared their liveries.

OFFICIAL PRACTICE
DECEMBER 27 2018
Room open at 9:00 PM
Mustang @ Yamagiwa
The hand-over point is the parallel with the pit line. You may start behind the pit lane to get a running start. However the hand-over MUST be done before the pit lane. Driver 1 & 2...slam on the brakes...Do Not PASS GO... DO not COLLECT $200...back up and get off the racing line. Do not slam into your buddy at full speed
Beetle at the Dragon's Tail
The hand-over point is the big screen TV before the Pit line. DO NOT PASS the Pit lane. Again you may start behind the TV to get a running start. If you go past the Pit lane entry you run the risk of a "reset" which will put you back on track and ruin the race. Driver 1 & 2...slam on the brakes...Do Not PASS GO... DO not COLLECT $200...back up and get off the racing line
Porsche @ Monza
The hand-over is the 50 yrd marker before Parabolica (the long sweeping curve into the straight) I suggest you start at the 100 yrd marker to get a running start. The area is narrow for the hand-over so play nice. Driver doing the hand-over will have to slow down seriously or you will punt your buddy into the wall at hand-over. Driver 1 & 2...slam on the brakes...Do Not PASS GO... DO not COLLECT $200...back up and get off the racing line

Combo 1 - Driver 2/3 sit back about 100 yards before the pit entry.... buddy will come around the final turn...he will communicate in party chat he's coming...you will explain where on the track you are so he can find you....as soon as he clears the final turn start accelerating....buddy must tap you before you get to the pit lane entrance....buddy must not cross the finish line...when safe , buddy backs up and get off the racing line
Please be sure to attend tonight's practice. We will demo the hand-over procedure.
Just to clarify...every driver will do 4 laps....
Teams should be in party chat to avoid confusion.... you will need a lot of communication for this one to work!
We can do this!

Just to summarize...
Drivers 2/3 will basically sit at 100 yards before the designated hand-over spot on track. As soon as the driver handing off is in range he will start accelerating. Handing-off driver must tap the driver before the designated hand-over spot.
Mustang @ Yamagiwa - Pit Lane Entrance
Beetle @ Dragon's Tail - The big screen TV on the right displaying GT sport
Porsche @ Monza - The 50 yard marker ahead of Parabolica
Clear as mud!

We might have to move to Plan B if the hand-over tapping is not working! We will judge how things go in practice and go from there

May I make a suggestion
After the 5th place team crosses the finish line could the other drivers also finish that way then we dont have to wait so long for the timer to run out?

Great practice session last night! I will tweak the rules somewhat today to iron out the small kinks we experienced last night, however all in all I think last night was a blast!

Maybe we could get together tonight. Try out your Tweaks - and get folks who missed last night to come out.
It will be a Demolition Derby if half the folks don’t understand the Transfer process. Where to wait, When to start, and How to tap (without crushing both cars in the process)
Last night, at Monza, I couldn’t see the car to tag because of a car between us. Ended up passing the target car. Lost a lot of time as a result.
