I have just patched in a new type of deathrace: point-to-point rallys through randomly positioned sets of gates. These are staged on 'Gates' maps and are treated as 'in-town' events - you sign up for them from the Events Diary.

If these turn out to be fun, maybe we'll create a 'circuit of Evan' rally league, with a race outside each town.

We just ran a 4-car test, it seemed to work well. Should be good as Pro events..

I'm just deciding what to do. They will work as either stock-car or Pro events.

Certainly I'd like to create a 'circuit of Evan' rally to run once per game year. This one to offer some nice hardware prize.

I think a few standalone per week would also be a good idea.

Jokes aside, Yes, oh god yes, can we have non-deathrace versions of this to?
And following that, there is one map... "Blown with the wind"... the one between gw and SS... it really needs a checkpoint rally, it is practically made for checkpoint rally's!

This sounds great. Just last night I was thinking of how cool it would be to have a ralley race across Evan. You're way ahead of me Sam.

It has been requested for quite some time though, so I don't really feel ahead of the game with it  ;)

I'm setting up some of these to run over the next few days, and from next week three non-league events will be scheduled per week:
Mondays, 8.30pm, Somerset;
Wednesdays, 4.30am, Gateway;
Fridays, 9.30pm, Somerset

There will also be a new league, the Circuit of Evan rally, starting in February 2057, with a race in a different town every Sunday for 8 weeks.

So....

No engine restrictions...
No CR restrictions...
2 Entries per person...

I think I have 2 firetrucks somewhere, hang on, let me go fetch them :rolleyes:

(To be fair, I think weapons might make it way to chaotic, but that's just my opinion ;))

2 entries per person might get a bit much in these I think. Every man women or child for themselves.

Yup yup yup yup. For the casual, very non-league racer, (IE Me!) these look like a lot of fun.
