You should probably give up some more information or criteria about the race. What kind of cars are allowed? Which size engines? Is 4 wheel drive allowed? Stuff like that is interesting for potential racers.
I will add more info later today after school.

If you're wondering why there's not much activity here, I think it's because of it sounding a bit stressed. You don't really know when there'll be a server ready and signing up happens shortly before racing, which seems like a hassle.
I love races and I love GMod but I think you should work out the servers and the schedule before you begin to actually host and / or talk about the event.
Sorry I thought I would be getting the actual server up a few hours after I posted but my lawnmowers battery exploded on me so I wasn't able to get money trying to get it running today and server should be up tomorrow.
I should be getting server today or tomorow
If you really need a server, I'll host a garrysmod server off my box for you. But only because I'm a nice man.
It's based in France and the dedicated itself is of high quality.
How much?
Ive been looking for a host that is worth 15+ dollars a month, but it seams that they all suck...
looks sick

What I noticed is that the course is really long. I also noticed the number of laps you want to run. I think a good way to regulate more lengthy races is by limiting the size of the fuel tanks as it forces people to do different things so they don't run out of fuel at the wrong time.
I will add Fuel tank sizes later. // And I'm also going to find a way to force all engines to use fuel //

I added fuel types to the end of the engine list, the planes can have just about any fuel tank because there wont be any pit stops for them so they run out of fuel they're screwed
[editline]22nd April 2015[/editline]
Race will be some time next week, As soon as I get free time.

Ignore what was here, I found that a config was wrong and was able to run 50000+ props with no lag.

After setting up server and spawning 100 prop car server went into shear lag, even more of a delay put on race |:[/QUOTE]
6X8X4, are you joking? That fuel tank is like the entire internal volume of the cabin of my Benz S-Class, I was thinking a 2X4X2 (21 gal) fuel tank at most.
ok.

Yeh good point, my truck that I took around the course used 40L per mile or minute what ever it is, but now that I think about it it does have a gigantic diesel engine.

Delay is off After some search I found that the max rate thing was way to low, it couldn't load crap

Im going to be racing in all of the races if I can get my car set up in time, if not the I'll just use differnt versions of my old school f1 racer
as seen in video.
---Uploading new video with most recent changes to race track and a lap that is accually good.
Tomorrows The Race Date. I will post here a half an hour before the race starts.
14 hours till race time. Hopefully people come...
Race Delayed I had to go do something, race is at 3pm mountain time
aka an hour
[editline]2nd May 2015[/editline]
No one showed up. I guess race is cancelled.
I spent weeks getting everything ready got server everything yet no one came, such a nice community here.
Hold up a minute there.
I think you should try again, but publicize it a bit more! I didn't even know that this was on. Most of the people you'll want to reach out to for events like this generally reside in the WIP thread - it's usually a good idea to post in there. I rarely, if ever, browse General Discussion(or anything other than the WIP thread) personally. It'd even be a good idea to jump on some servers and tell people.
For your race rules, I'd make them a little simpler. It'd be easier to have a single race with the only limitation being fuel tank size if you're going for an 'endurance' kind of feel.
Ok, I'll create a new thread about it in WIP/
[editline]3rd May 2015[/editline]
One question, where is the WIP forum?
What fourm/Thread should I post it in?????
[URL="http://facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=189"]Games in Progress?[/URL]
