The event starts tomorrow morning; I advise you show up 30-15 minutes early, so we can sort out who races against who, and you can expect the event to take about an hour to complete. Good luck!
Our track:
Who is the best circuit driver in Trackmania? This is a knockout tournament designed to find out. Prove yourself against the best UF1R drivers in the Race of Champions. We are holding this completely open event to celebrate 10 years of this magnificent game, as well as 5 years of our own, more humble UF1R league.
Just like in the real Race of Champions, (Which this year has sadly been cancelled due to unrest in Thailand) drivers participate in 1 vs. 1 matches against each other; players start by being drawn into random matches with another player of similar skill level, and for each race they are assigned a lane (Left or right) which they turn into at the start. (The track crosses over, so you will need to drive both routes) The victorious players progress on to the next stage of the competition.
***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** Due to a discrepancy between the two routes at the start (It is about 0.5 seconds quicker to start in the left lane) each match in the tournament will consist of two races; one starting in each lane, with the result of each match being the cumulative times. (You will have to be faster on aggregate on both routes, not just in one.)
Players who finish high enough to reach the finals (Top 3) will be awarded Goody bags courtesy of Nadeo; (With a special prize for the overall winner) unfortunately due to shipping costs Non-European winners will have to be content with player keys as their accolade.
We will put the track on our server for practice (Which you can join here, without needing a password:
http://trackmaniaserver.org/join/43623) starting the proceeding week. (16th of December) We will use the same server for the race on Sunday morning. For the heat matches, we will randomise the 2 players taking part in the opening match stages, so that it's fair on everyone.
***Please note*** The way things are set up means you must first sign up to our forum (here:
http://www.ultimatef1racing.com/phpBB3/ ... 3ab1fa3d51) In order to access the server password, which you will need to get on the server for the event on Sunday. I realise that some have had trouble registering on the forum, so if this is the case for you, contact me and I will tell you the password and add you to the signup list on your behalf.
Just a heads up: This event will use a mandatory in-car camera, which might take some getting used to. Unlike in our GP series, sliding will be allowed, as to prevent alienating anyone. However, cheating, hacking, blackmailing other players and other such malicious activities obviously will not be tolerated; we just want everyone to have fun and enjoy himself or herself (Girls are free to enter as well, in case you were wondering) in a safe and friendly environment.
I will be making a video of the event, so those that miss it can still enjoy it. If you fancy having a go at live-streaming this event, or have any other questions about anything else, contact me at
edwardjhunter@virginmedia.com or on the forums at
http://www.ultimatef1racing.com and we will do our best to support you.
I sincerely hope you enjoy this ambitious but all inclusive event; thanks to Alinoa and all the folks at Nadeo for supporting this and agreeing to help give out prizes.
As I type this 16 drivers have signed up, so there is still plenty of room for you if you are interested.
