Welcome to the Multi-Class 200 Mile Rally!
5 Tracks, 5 Tuned Cars, Prizes available…Do you fancy entering a 200 mile Rally?
A brief description:
• There are five legs (races) to run, on five pre-determined tracks (each approx. distance ranging between 37 - 42 miles)
• There are five pools of cars to choose from (each pool will compete in a specific class)
• Choose one car from each pool, upgrade/tune it to the limit of the designated class, and choose which of the five tracks to race it on.
• One car from each pool/class must be used - one for each of the five tracks
• You should race in a private lobby with 10 AI cars set on professional difficulty (one of each class R1 to F). Your finishing time is what counts - position is irrelevant!

Choose one car from each pool. Obviously, in stock form the bulk of these cars do not fit in the pool classes assigned. However, that’s irrelevant here. You may apply any upgrades and tunes to bring each car up to the max level permitted for whichever pool class it has been allocated. If I’ve made a mistake and any of those can’t reach optimisation in the designated class, shout out and I’ll draft in a replacement 
You can choose any combination, but each track and class must be run once.
Each race will be set up and done online in the Custom Race Creator section of the game (private lobby). Select 10 AI cars for each race - one for every class (F, E, D, C, B, A, S, R3, R2 & R1). Remember, your final position in each race is not important - your time is what counts!
Legs can be run in any order. The total time of all five legs combined is the final time.
Once you have completed each race, be sure to save the replays and upload them to your storefront before the end of the competition for your time to be accepted as valid.
Race settings in the ‘Game Set-Up’ tab of a private lobby are as follows:
Number of AI cars: 10
AI Difficulty: Professional
Car Class: Any - (then back on main lobby page you can individually select the AI cars - one for each class F-R1)
Damage: Cosmetic
Collisions: Default.
Advanced Rules: (Click RB on Controller)
Grid Ordering: PI
Ascending: No
Number of Player Buckets: 2
Group by Bucket: No
Timer: If you would rather not fiddle about with player buckets and assigning cars to groups, then instead be sure to give yourself plenty of time to finish each race - as the R1 car will likely trigger the countdown first!
Group 1 Options: (Click RB a couple more times); Can Start Final Countdown: Yes
Group 2 Options: (Click RB again); Can Start Final Countdown: No
Back on the lobby page click on each car to organise the groups. Group 1 could just be yourself (and possibly AI cars that pose no threat of finishing ahead you in the race). AI cars that are likely to finish ahead of you should be in Group 2 (so they don’t trigger the end of race timer countdown).
After finishing a race, save the replay and write down your finishing time! Remember, ultimately your final position in each race is not important - your time is what counts.
If you wish to enter this competition, please reply with the car/class and track combinations you initially plan to race with. You can change your mind (even after your provisional times have been set) - as long as you haven’t posted your final times.
Once you have completed each leg please post your time and also save your replay - upload it to your storefront before the competition ends for checking. Dirty laps are fine, but please no deliberate corner cutting or wall riding etc! Such unsporting driving may result in disqualification.
I will update the second post with all results. To keep people’s interest and inspire competition/improvement - yet to keep things orderly, the rule will be that you may post an initial provisional time for each leg, followed later, if you wish by one updated (final) time – again for each leg. I would advise only posting provisional times when you are somewhat happy with them – remember, once you have provided updated times, those will be final (even if you later slip down the timesheet list!).
