Hi GR people !
GeorgM and I are happy and proud to purpose you the seventh season of the ToM Competition.
It will be our 5th season with the login system and we hope to see many partecipants like in the four past seasons ! No big changes, we'll use the ToM 2008 packs and the selection programm (of the cars) could be a little bit changed.. so for the old ToMers it'll be quiet exactly as last season (and you only have to tell me that you want to race... even if you could log-in nonetheless) for our new partecipant here you are some explanations.Concept of this compo :
It's a competitions based on the adaptation and the discover of the great tracks made by the best trackmakers of the community. It's a login-system and race compo. We'll use "The Update the Original GeneRally Carpack" (in fact not all the cars... as we'll not use the Onewheeler, the McTurbo nor the Go-Kart) one of the best carpack made by the community. The race are quiet long (30km). There will be 12 events (one per month, for example the first one is on one of the track from the ToM January 2008 trackpack) with 30 minutes of Race (with three AIs) for each event which last one week. So, it takes only 30 minutes by week !!
The main thing is that we'll race on the best tracks (ToM packs 2008) but it'll be choosed (and the cars too) by the computer (aleatory) for each event. So, everyone can participate and theoricaly no-one can train too much before the races, as no-one knows which car we'll use nor the track. We count on the sportiv spirit of the partecipants (for not telling to the others on wich tracks/cars we'll race during the racing week
), mainly because it brakes the fun and because there isn't a team standing.. so it's useless and senseless.So, the compo will start in january.. the time for us to make the users-accounts of the new players and for you to join. For that, every interested drivers have to send me their login-name and e-mail address through e-mail : rspasche@hotmail.com or in this thread, or via PM.
I'm already waiting for your sign-up folks !
Of course if there are questions, don't hesitate and ask it.
It's never too late for joining us...until the end of the compo.

How to race step by step
Once I have made every users-account... every registered drivers will receive a message with your login-informations (For the old ToMers you can ask them if you've loosed them). You'll have a provisory password (that you could change after).
When you are ready (with a version of GR with the good files and settings) to race, you go on the ToM page and you click on the Login link. You give your login-informations (pic 1) and you are in your part of the site (you can change your password here pic 2). Then you'll see a text called Race now ! which brings you to a link start now. You'll have to confirm your choice (pic 3) and once you've confirmed the 30 minutes starts (pic 4) and you can see on which track and car we'll race. You have to keep your browser open during your race because the page with the car/track info also have the link for uploading your files.
So, launch your version of GR, check the settings, select your car first then give the same to the AIs (Gold, Silver and Bronze) and start your training.
You should have a little bit less than 10 minutes for learning the track and after you'll have to make your final attempt. Once you've finished your race and the result screen appear save your race (Something like Raska_Event1.gam) and take a screenshot (F11).
Get out of GR and go back into the page with the car/track info and follow the uploading link. Follow the instruction and browse on your folders the two files for sending them. Be carefull of not spending more than 30 minutes otherwise you couldn't upload your files...
Of course if there are any accident/computer problems/accounts or transmissions troubles, particularly if you don't see the message that your files have been uploaded correctly : you can send your files (zipped this time) to me with your argumentations within an hour.
Then wait until the next monday for speaking about the track/car and for knowing the results.
