View Full Version : Cross Island Rally
It's all in the name, we're going to buckle down and have our first massive event.
1500 Miles of road, 8 Supercars and 200Mph+ speeds, it's gonig to be one hell of a trip. We WILL stay on track for this one, instead of everyone doing their own thing. There will be 3 groups of two competing for the ultimate prize and yes, it is BIGGER than the one Evsky got over at the Project WDU's forum :nuts: . It will be based on timing, so basically get to the checkpoint quickley and the team with the lowest time at the end wins. There are only 8 places, so go crazy.
Date and time will be decided when the list is full :) One space will be reserved for a photographer and me as we will be surveying the race, making sure ther's no cheating
PRACTICE ON THE 21st at 8PM GMT

Thought it wouldn't be becouse that would take a few days, though you could probably do it as part of a relay over a weekend or somthing. Would be intressting, anyway, ok im being an idiot.
C'mon guys, let's do this :nuts:

So yeah, maybe next time, but I can't wait to view pics :D:D!!

Well I'm not going to put a dampener on this but I can't see how you're going to marshall this event. You say its based on timings, but without planning this properly, you'll never be able to work it out.
Think you need to explain how you're going to work it (especially the timings)cos I ain't got a clue....May stay in the side lines for this one until you've got the fine details down....
Oh, thats not meant to annoy you, but it doesn need some clarification etc....

O.K, The leaders will leave first, Then everybody else will leave around 5 minutes later. When the leaders get to the first checkpoint we I will wait for everone else (you must arrive at the checkpoint as a pair) The I will write down their times. Who ever has the fastest time when all the times have been added up, wins.
All I can say is ..... I hope the course is not full of straights.
In the meantime me and nipper are going to keep the cars we are using anonymous.
Who wants to lead the second group ?
BTW, I am thinking of changing it to Class B and below only (to make it fair) what do you think ?

So will this be a staggered start for all teams involved (i.e. a rally as the topic suggests). This would also mean that the last team to run to the first checkpoint could be sat around for a posible 15 minutes *yawn*. Which course were you thinking about as only the two huge races will be feasible for this....
I'll be a leader if you want me to....now it makes a bit more sense, lol ;)
Class B is a more sensible option so long as the leaders are in class A (get to the checkpoints faster to save time etc)...

Nah I'd be better in all classes and me and nipper have already been practising in our chosen cars?

20-11-2006, 18:07
Thought of something else too.
Unless you're really good at maths, how you gonna diferentiate (sp?) between times (people will be sat at the start line for x minutes, of which you'll not know for how long...nothing stopping them creeping forward a few miles first is there....
See where I'm coming from with this?? Not being awkward, just thinking logically....:)

It will be a custom course, :nuts: My felow leader :laugh:
I say we all race at the same time to a point set on all of our GPS systems, the leader being at the front of the pack whilst the photographer follows for a while then speeds off to the last checkpoint to get ready to take a picture of the 1st pair

We'll, one leader will leave and I the other will stay at the starting line signaling people off, and then they will clock down when everybody leaves and the other will clock down when everybody arrives :)
howdf u no exactly wen 2 start and finish the clock
No offence but I think my idea would work better and is more logical tbh

There will be 5 minutes between everybodys start

None taken. I agree, surely this would be better as a player race, not a custom challenge. Half the planning can be cut out and its easier to score cos the game will do the calculations...
All we gotta do is take pics and tot up the scores between teams...Mav?? Agree??

Lol, none taken :) , That's basically what we're doing, wait, that is what we're doing, I like your way
Totally , but I'd prefer a custom route :p :p :p

When I said "custom" I didn't mean Diner, I meant it would basically be freeride.

No, leave saleen's they are very dissadvantaged through corners and a konigsegg can keep up with them

Sure, good-luck to whoever picks a Saleen :laugh:
I'm thinking the leaders should hop in a pair of ME 412 or have you got any suggestions ?
ya sounds good. sorry if i missed out on this but any restriction about cars?
and what road are we taking? i personlly love the lambo when it gets curvie or the enzo

Currently there are no restrictions on vehicles :)

Pick a ME412 if you want but It's not advised. I mean come on , they're not the fastest or best handled cars in the game now are they? and if someone was too pass you, you wouldn't know who won .
you do realise Nwata it's gonna be hard to organise this, because i have a feeling no one will co-operate. i would rather have 2 teams and have 4 spectators one at starting line one half way and two at the finish line to get an accurate score. you'll obvously have a timer. when we start so no one cheats and makes up any times. Also the advantage of the half way spectator is that he can see if anyone is taking short cuts. so NO ONE CHEATS. but this is my idea. sooo....go with yours if you like but. but i do like to have an opinion.
PEACE :respect:

We have a half-way checkpoint already :)
oh ok then, thats summin then.
THe prize seems pretty worthless now that everybody has like 33Million sour: I'll still give it to the winning team though...
What would the participants like for a prize, In-game ?
two cars of our choice worth over $500,000
obviously we'd have to be on the page before it is put on trade or else someone else gets it before. then sold for 1,000

Okay... Sure.

I thought you were sticking to my ide and letting us all race at the same time !
I thought you were sticking to my ide and letting us all race at the same time !
So you all want to leave the starting line at the same time, instead of having 5min intervals between each start ?
yup, not only will it run smoother but it will be better.
DLC should be left out as some people will not be able to buy them? ( What do you think)
5 min. plz plz plz plz. it'd be to confusing otherwise if we all went at the same time.
how?
and with 5 minutes it would be hard to calculate time of when to exactly start and stop the clock and the route look back a few posts in this thread to find out what my idea was
NEIL12345
21-11-2006, 18:20
all at the same time for me it will be crazy though,
still need to see the route

NEIL12345
21-11-2006, 18:25
I think all at the same time will be great and easier for you to monitor and it won't take that long for the pack to stretch out anyway lol it will also give you a gauge of how you are doing against the other's
Ok then, we'll all leave at the same time, but you may one your teams car to be a specific colour rolleyesa
Yup, me and nipperredcoat were sorted with 2 identical blue cars as soon as we signed up.
Hence the MaverickMotors theme colour is blue.
mdr1
I can now say that the first leg of the race is on a medium straight, from there it's down to your GPS
Are the DLC available for use ? Some people might not be able to get them for a number of reasons so I think it might be a little "Unfair" to include them.

Joking, but I hope you are succesful on your assignment and I hope everyone else who had to drop put has fun elsewhere. :) :)
I think it would be better if it would be put-back tbh because of all the bugs- hell I dont even know if you can connect to the server again yet

ya same.. i missed a cruise yesterday cause of that. and i have to be in the center at 10pm. we meet at 9pm. so i will have like no time to do the stage:/
we wait till the time comes.
I wont be attending the practise tonight sorry.
Back from the Faroe Islands again.
So if this is still up and running, I'll join. (If it isn't on a friday or sunday as I usually get drunk and watch NFL respectively)
And no Craigie. I am loosely attached to a newspaper here in DK while I finish my studies as a journalist.
That's what I'll stick to anyways.... Regardless of what Driveit claims.
(If it isn't on a friday or sunday as I usually get drunk and watch NFL respectively)
You've got the right idea there baxie ;) ;)
Who do you support? I support the faithful rams !
There has been no further information on this race however I think it is going ahead once some bugs have been fixed.
P.s - How did your assignment go ?

Well, my heart belongs to the Packers, and have for some 15 years now. But rooting for them this year is pointless. If you ask me who I think will be in the Superbowl, I'd put my money on Bears vs. Colts with a tight win by the Colts.
Assignment was great. Everyone was helpful and all out interviews was done in danish. It was great. :)
