Single Exhibition Events [Race] [TT]

[Haruna]

Wanna race but don't have the time to commit yourself for six to eight weeks of non-stop practice and racing?

Welcome to the Single Exhibition Races (SER)! Here you'll be able to jump in an assortment of world-class (and not-quite world-class) racing cars and circuits, in a variety of formats, ranging to 50 km+ endurance races in powerful GT racers to short hot-lap contests in your mom's <insert simple, common "economy" car here>.

Each of SER's racing events last two weeks and consist of anywhere from one to four races, each with a unique format, car pack, and track combination. Don't worry if you can't race them all! You can race in whatever races have been presented for that SER event.

Although each SER event has unique conditions for each race, there are a large number of universal rules which apply to ALL SER races and events:
1.0. General
1.1. All races will be played using the latest version of GeneRally - version 1.10c.
1.2. All drivers are welcome to race.
1.3. All race settings and restrictions will be posted in each event's presentation.
1.4. Post in this thread noting your interest, then you can simply complete your races and send them to harunagt1 (AT) gmail (DOT) com
1.4.1. What you'll need to send will be specified in the event presentations (past the rules and regulations).
1.5. No modification of the car or track. You will be notified by race administration if you have raced with wrong or modded cars/tracks.
1.6. I'd put a rule saying no game speeds below 100%, but we'll be using 1.10c - so there isn't such a rule, because the game already enforces it.
1.7. You can choose to race at as many of the locations available per event you would like. If you want to race at only one or two of the locations, it's fine.

2.0. During the Race
2.1. Unless otherwise stated, you must keep at least two wheels on the track at all times.
2.2. Unless otherwise stated, you must start from 6th position!
2.3. Kerbs and "tarmac extensions" ARE considered part of the track. If said tarmac is separated by off-road surface however, it cannot be used!
2.4. You are free to push, barge, and otherwise wreck the AI cars, but it's a waste of time.
2.4.1. EXCEPTION - In "Chase" events, you cannot push, barge, or otherwise attempt to wreck the leading AI car.
2.5. Unless specified, you are not allowed to change the AI's cars or names - feel free to change their colors if you want, though.
2.6. Without exception, you have to post a screen shot of the race results.
2.6.1. No skid marks at start = DISQUALIFICATION.

3.0. Event Types
3.1. "Single Race" - One race against multiple AI drivers over a set distance.
3.2. "Speed Lap" - Player is on his/her own on the track. The goal is to set the fastest lap possible. All Speed Lap races will be seven laps.
CLARIFICATION #1: You may end the session prematurely if you feel you cannot improve upon your best lap, or if you somehow get stuck off track and cannot recover the car. But please - try to run all seven laps.
CLARIFICATION #2: The winner is decided run-by-run - so in other words, if a Speed Lap event has multiple runs or locations, the winner is decided at each run/location.
3.3. "Time Trial" - As with Speed Lap, player is on his/her own on the track. The goal is to set the fastest overall time (cumulative total of all laps).
3.4. "Chase" - A Single Race where the player is far behind and must catch up, or is far ahead and must avoid being caught by AI in much faster cars.
3.5. "One-on-One" - A Single Race against one AI opponent.
3.5.1. Can also be a race against multiple AI opponents, but with one AI opponent vastly superior to all the others in some way (farther ahead, higher skills, faster car, or even nasty combos of the aforementioned, etc.)
3.6. "Tournament" - A series of the same events.
3.6.1. Scoring is as follows - 10 (1st) / 8 (2nd) / 6 (3rd) / 5 (4th) / 4 (5th) / 3 (6th) / 2 (7th) / 1 (8th) - with one bonus point for the fastest lap.
CLARIFICATION: Drivers are scored based on their placings in each _individual_race_. The winner of the tournament will be the driver that has the most points at the end of the series.
3.6.2. Tiebreakers in case of a tie: Most wins / Most 2nd place finishes / Most 3rd place finishes / Most fastest laps / Total time across all races

[Haruna]

Deadline bumped by one week to get some interest.

[Reh]

The deadline, is it for all three races?

Great pack though

[Haruna]

The deadline, is it for all three races?

Great pack though

Yes, the deadline is for all three races.

Thank you, but please thank mizzamar for his excellent karting circuits. His tracks spurred the idea for this first event.

[Reh]

Thanks Mizzamar

[Haruna]

Revised no-sign-ups rule. Changed it to "Post here to let me know you are interested".

Because it's kind of difficult to measure interest without sign-ups.

[Reh]

<-- interested

[Buka]

I''m interested too.

[Haruna]

Thanks guys

I've added a list of interested drivers at the bottom of the event description - now go race! X3

[bduddy]

I'm interested... I don't know if I'll be able to find time for it, but I'll try.

[Dany]

A race with only 3 drivers?

<- very interested

[Haruna]

Added bduddy and Dany to the interested drivers list.

Get racing!

[Trigger Happy]

Looks good, nice job Haruna. I'm definitely interested in this. And finally again having some time to race in few next days.

Good luck, guys.

[Haruna]

Added Trigger Happy to the list of interested drivers.

[Haruna]

One more day to deadline... I have only received files from Reh.

[Dany]

Sent race and hope that I can beat my German friend!

[Buka]

Expect my files late in the evening (early in the evening in USA ). BTW, I've had so much fun while training! I hope there will be more participants as this champ is awesome.

[Haruna]

Deadline extended to Saturday. This will be the last extension; no more delays and I'll post results right after.

Currently received files from:
- Reh
- Dany
- Buka
- Trigger Happy

[Trigger Happy]

Not sure, why you're so mad about receiving the files long before deadline. It's my natural right to use all the time, I have, to its last bit to make my best, so really I don't understand, why you expect from me files earlier than during last hours/minutes before deadline - especially in compo without login. I know, that some drivers send/do login earlier, but it's definitely not majority of us.

BTW tuning of AIs is great for the 6-position start, It's great fun. But it needs login too, otherwise it can be for some people just about tons of restarts to hunt ideal lap 1.

[Haruna]

Not really mad, just a little disappointed that after three weeks only five people show interest.
RE Log-in events, I want to use a system more like Track of the Month race series (log-in, upload files to site), but I have no knowledge or a website that would allow this.

[Dany]

I think a non-login competition is more fun! It was great fun and really exciting to push every round!
Can't wait to see the results!

[Haruna]

Here are the results:

Congrats to Trigger Happy and Reh for their victories.
Thanks to all drivers that took part in this event!

[Trigger Happy]

Oh so close from triple. Good fight (again!), Reh.

And thanks Haruna for this fun! Hopefully, that next exhibition will come soon and will have bigger field (maybe including you too?).

[Krisu]

I do have interest in this

[Reh]

Great fight, Ivo!

Thanks Haruna, gimme more of this!

Edit: This is your first victory in race category then, Ivo, isn't it? Gratulations!!!
