Ideally when I'm organised I want to post screenshots of the tracks we'll be racing a few days beforehand. I fully intend to get this done for Tuesday but you should know by now I don't get things done as soon as I'd like ad I apologise for that. _________________

Tracks will go on as soon as one of us is available to do it.
However, I still think everyone being given the exact same amount of time to practice is fairer. If there is a genuine fear that 15mins per track practice isn't enough I can turn the respawns on again, personally I don't think we need to, the amount of finishers last week shows that. _________________

This is something I don't understand, whats wrong with how the system is now? Everyone appears on madlaps within the hour before the start, the tracks are put on around half hour before the race starts, we go through each track a couple times. I think I managed 16 or so laps of one of the tracks in practise, easy enough time to learn a track.
However I did notice alot of people's cars parked on the tracks, not practising, so it's up to the player to practise as much as possible.
I think 30mins is easy enough, the first two races went very well imo apart from the people joining to spec, don't think we need to upload the tracks any sooner, wouldnt be fair that way. _________________ http://forum.mania-creative.com/index.php |

fair enough StevieM, i'm a cig and coffee offender during practice, tbh I haven't got your attention span to stick an hour at the screen concentrating hard... maybe thirty years ago
I've got no grumbles about the status quo, really. Was honestly looking for a way to translate the great interest in the gPs into some more general server action. _________________

Then how about we use the same method of attracting people to GP's as attracting people to race on the madlaps server on a standard evening...the forum? Make a post, wednesday night (for example), a time, whos up for some madlaps racin' action? People reply "Me", we turn up, the number of people online attracts even more people to the server who havn't raced before..voila..
Keep doing this a few times and eventually more and more people will come..
Well, hopefully. _________________ http://forum.mania-creative.com/index.php |

Or we all just add each other as friends in tm or msn so that when we go on we all know and can make our way to madlaps if we feel like it. Kinda what it's there for. _________________ Mostly to be found in Forza Horizon 4 now.

Always said a night of the week with no particular event (just turn up and drive) would be a good idea, good post there Stevie.
What I want to discuss is what people think of real circuit replicas for GPs. It's not something I want to do more than once a season but it's happened in the past (F1 USA in an early season I think) and it can't go down worse than Andy's dirt GP tracks did .
The reason I bring this up is Matt's got a nice version of Yas Marina he sent me and if it's going to be GPed, it needs to be tomorrow I feel. _________________

If it's good why not. Matt's real life tracks tend to be very good his Monaco is brilliant as is Brands. _________________ Mostly to be found in Forza Horizon 4 now.

Didn't touch a single other server other than madlaps tonight, to see how many peeps we got on there and have some good racing, was fun.
Lets say we keep it this way?

Since Season 8 of the Hooters Mad Laps Racing series is a mere 2 months away get your ideas for anything you'd like to see incorporated or changed with regards format etc.
Here is a format change the missus suggested to me, might not go down to well, to start with she said I don't want to see you on that bloody racing game again, after some sweet talking from yours truly I negotiated that to how about fortnightly sweetheart. It's probably a non starter but how about 4 15lap races every fortnight?.

As someone who will have to enter negotiations shortly I understand your problem, I'd be happy with every two weeks and it would make my life easier. _________________ Mostly to be found in Forza Horizon 4 now.

Do you guys still run these GP's at 8 on a tuesday? Couldn't be arsed looking too hard through the old threads to dig it out, so figured I'd ask before deciding if I can race in season 8 _________________
