Hello fellow GTplaneteers.
I love racing online, but hate the normal lobby races. So...
I've been thinking of ways to easily organize and manage races within GTplanet, without having to create new threads. I searched the different threads and I think my idea is fairly unique (unigue enough to warrant a new thread at least)
Picture this:
A thread is created and stickied in the Online races subforum aptly named GTplanet race organizer or something similar and within this thread there is an OP that defines the cars in the various classes such as GT500, DTM, NASCAR and so forth. General rules and regulations and PP is defined here as well.
If someone wants to organize a race they name their lobby "GTPlanet Race #01 (02, 03, 04 if other races are active with that number) and then create a post in the Race organizer thread named the same.
Example:
GTPlanet.net Race #01
Class: NASCAR
PP: 667
Tires: Your preference
Courses: Daytona, Indy, Laguna Seca.
Laps: 30
Damage: Light
Tirewear and fuel: Yes
Rules: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=111241
Voice: Enabled/Disabled
Fixed owner: Yes/no (this one is important)
In order for this to work the creator must remember to delete the race post and clean up after himself or the thread will quickly fill up with old races. Users must refrain from posting in this thread unless it's a race.
The timestamp on the post gives you an idea of how long the race has been going on and if someone forgot to delete their post.
This is my rough draft of "Race organizer" And if you guys like the idea i'm sure we can make a well organized and well defined OP with everything needed
