Vigero is available for anyone joining last minute tonight.

[Lann 10,838]

I will bring Faction Custom

[zmurko 7,622]

Who's bringing the Vigero now??! 😭

[zmurko 7,622]

Thanks for joining everyone! Few hiccups with the tracks, but I hope it didn't spoil the fun.

Motorcycles next week and @djw180 hosting. I'm sure we'll have a nice selection to pick from by tomorrow.

Looking forward to dying a few times next week. 😂

Lot of fun. It was fun driving more risky tracks this week. Next week should be interesting. I cant wait. 

[Sinister 2,578]

Motorcycles?  I will make sure I can attend that one. Should be interesting.

  That's all the original bikes taken. Other participants very welcome, please choose from

  And more can be added if required

   

The initial 11  all have a time, on Broughy's test track, between 1:03 and 1:06.

We could add Cliffhanger & Diabolus Custom which are just under 1:03, and / or Stryder  & Esskey which are just over 1:06 (

Tracks

 

I've discovered we don't need to worry about dieing. It's only R* non-stunt races where you get killed from collisions with trees, walls etc. Also running races as GTA makes it better because some 'deaths' in standard or non-contact are just where you fall off the bike, and in GTA you can at least get back on.

I'm aiming for a mix of real life motor racing circuits, road races out in the country side, an oval and a true-stunt race (can't decide which version of Tataviam Frozen I think is better for bikes, leaning towards version 2). Maybe a dirt race?

 

Real life tracks

One of these versions of Donnington

or

Not sure which I prefer - any opinions? ( I have no idea what the actual motorbike circuit was like)

Estoril - slighltl more stunty than realife in terms of props but seem the most realistic of the versions I tried

So 1 more needed, dirt or another open roads races?

They all have a time, on Broughy's test track, between 1:03 and 1:06. If we need to expand this I'd rather include other customs than have stock versions, as the latter means we would have to check every track has all the stock bikes available.

We could add Cliffhanger, Gargoyle & Diabolus Custom which are just under 1:03, and / or Stryder, Rampant Rocket & Esskey which are just over 1:06.

I think it was the Gargoyle that had the gltich giving it a stupidly high top speed from wheelies - anyone know if that is still the case? If so then it won't be used. I'm inclined to not include the Rampant Rocket either, let's stick to 2 wheels.

 

So get picking from those first 11 for now.

Yes, the Gargoyle has a glitch that makes it very fast. 

[zmurko 7,622]

I only have 1 request. ☺

I've updated my old "Motorcycles" track 'Loop The Observatory' today. Removed 40 pieces of different signage and lamp posts (that used to cause deaths), secured some of the others with different barriers and constructed the last turn. Added all the vehicles, turnef off pedestrians, ... Should be even better now.

Try it out and let me know if there are any other issues. It's a pretty twisty hills circuit, so very very little opportunities for wheelies, which is what usually makes motorcycles races kind of boring in my opinion.

It's still limited to 16 players, as there's limited space for any other kind of a grid.

[Con 5,703]

Sanctus (I want to bring this but I think maybe it should be tested on the tracks by one of you guys, it is not the easiest bike to race, not just saying that cause I suck)

[zmurko 7,622]

Is that the $2m bike? 😱

It’s fast and I love taking it on the Trench races but I would test it out for a race series. It slides out a lot, especially fully modded. Or maybe I just suck but maybe someone else can agree that it would be hard to drive it competitively.

[Dodge 7,248]

I may not be available this weekend. Weekends will start getting tight for me as the holidays approach. Lots of family stuff over the next 10 weeks or so. 

If I can make it, I have a Vader, and a Sanchez. 

[djw180 6,836]

I'll be taking the Lectro

I have one which I had forgot about (I think I won it). I just tried it on Tataviam Frozen 2 and it can be a little twitchy at times but was OK in my opinion.

I'll bring the Sanctus, then.

That's all I wanted someone else to check it out. The last thing we want is people not having fun because they couldnt tame the ride. And we only drive it once each anyways. I just wanted to throw it out there since not many people probably own one, except Lann he probably contacted the developer who created the first sprite and owns that version. lol. That boy so rich.

I didn't realise the Lectro has a boost which can be used in races. Any opinions on that?

It's doesn't seem that powerful and only re-charges with braking. I don't know if Broughy's times are based on using the boost or not. I guess we can just say please don't use the boost.

Gentlemen's agreement should work. It will be quite obvious when someone does use the boost. If it turns out that it's too slow without the boost, then we can allow it later?

[Lann 10,838]

I dont think it will be a issue: (around 19th place its mentioned)
