Timetrials
You can log in to these any time they?re running. Note that if you log out, your vehicles will be removed after 30 gametime seconds, and you won?t get them back.

There is an extra option that's only available in timetrials: ?Reset!?. You'll find this by right-clicking your car: this sets your car back to the starting grid and (if the car was supplied by the racetrack) you get a shiny new one. (Ok, not very shiny).

Timetrials are often used to determine the starting grid for races, and may have an additional set of prizes for the best lap times recorded.
Time trials usually have a fixed (realworld) time limit ? perhaps 2 hours. The game ends at that point.

Races

Make sure to log in to these before the offical start time, otherwise AI will control your car until you arrive, and that?s not good! ;-)

Races rarely have a fixed time limit, but are based on number of laps. As each car finishes the race, it is removed from the game.

Others

In development, we have these types of event:

* Deathraces - basically, races with guns allowed
* Arena combats - these are part of leagues and have prizes
* Wilderness combats - random meetings with NPC gangs
* Grudge combats - between two player gangs, normally staged in an arena
* Facility attacks - when we have factories, camps etc. available to be owned by NPC and players, it will be possible to attack them and try to take ownership.
