If you are a Champion from Season 4 or more recent, I apologise for the mess around, I had ambition to run this event differently and it wasn't apparent to me immediately that it wouldn't be entirely fair, You will get your chance when we can next fill a grid. At the moment Kidbyers will be your host on Sunday night if you could add him on psn to save some time. I will post lobby settings to this thread at nearest convenience so you can all begin hustling and grinding those lap times down! I will also open a PSN group chat later today so you guys can organise practice lobbies etc.

Please remember that whilst there is no 2nd place, This is still a community event for our friend Bruce. Sandbagging and poor driving standards DO NOT EXIST IN ROC AND NEVER WILL. I will come down swiftly if I see this on the night. It is a handicapped event so you are not benefitted from not trying, everyone has an equal chance of winning this race! The grid will be posted later in the week, possible even as late as Saturday so we can have time to have a look at lap times and see how everyone is progressing.

I will also post an itinerary soon so we can see how the night will run. We will feature two drivers (selected by myself) to run a tribute lap in each of Bruce's championship winning cars, before a minutes silence which is of course customary for the ROC.

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to be running this event at last and to have it happening right in front of me will be something very special. Thank you always to @t_b_williams for forging such an immaculate lore that this event has. Good luck everyone!

I believe it is empty tanks with no consumption, happy to be proven wrong

@Steve Neilson @Cameron Neame
Spleece has contacted me informing me that he is indeed available so I unfortunately have to place you two on Standby. If there are any people who become unavailable, I will call on BOTH of you to step in, otherwise you will be rightfully invited to next season's event.

Unfortunately Keeden's work roster means a late night on Sundays is pretty much impossible for him. Real shame, hopefully it comes back around again in the future.

0x, the idea will be to do quali lap after quali lap with no car wear whatsoever. Track conditions will stay similar too.

Yep, will be standard. I'll take what data I can find from that round this season plus if you guys want to submit your own laps to me in private or public, it would be appreciated.

In theory, you should get the most grip from 0x tire wear, everything else said is spot on!

That's me done then.

I'm happy to open it up to 1x Tire wear but then benefit lies well and truly with those who save their tires better than others, plus any element of tire wear in a race like this is far from ideal. Makes setting the handicaps an absolute nightmare.

That's what I'm most concerned about, the tire wear. It's still a 30 min race for ROC so having tire wear on could lead to a pit stop and that's absolutely not what we're aiming for, it's supposed to be a sprint shootout with similar lap times from start to finish.

I have all the settings sorted as of last night, unfortunately my PS is playing funny buggers so I'm struggling to post them right now, will try again this arvo.

Correct me if I am wrong, but ROC has always been x0 wear for tyres/fuel

I believe that is correct
