This is a 5-race weekly racing championship on off-road courses with the Karin Rebel pickup truck.

When?

Every Thursday from June 19th to August 21st at 4:00 PM on the Eastern Time Zone (16:00 GMT).

Why the Karin Rebel?

The Karin Rebel is the cheapest vehicle available for purchase on the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website. Having many customization options, people can stylize their truck in a variety of ways, from keeping it as an old-school pickup or into a full-fledged Baja racer. It's incredible off-road capabilities make it the perfect vehicle to race in San Andreas' more secluded routes. With it's affordable price and wide array of customization options, the Karin Rebel is a great truck to race for both amateurs and experts alike.

Rules?

Off-road racing is dirty in multiple ways. Many accidents can and will happen, but please don't intentionally try to shove the next Robby Gordon down into the Altruist Cult, or into an oncoming subway train in the sewers.

Your truck can be tuned as much as you'd like. Sorry to those on a limited budget, but you were able to afford this rusted bucket of bolts to race anyhow so why should you whine about not keeping up with the rich people who live in Eclipse Towers and can afford all the good stuff?

Only the Karin Rebel may be used (like you didn't know). Both dirty and clean versions of the car are allowed. If you drive another car in any race, you will be disqualified for that race.

Where?

There are 5 races in each weekly event at the following locations (in order of events);

1. Vinewood Racetrack

2. Los Santos Sewer System

3. Raton Canyon

4. Tataviam Mountains

5. Mount Chiliad

Points system?

We use the playlist Job Points leaderboard to keep track of points to crown each week's champion.

This sounds pretty neat. I'll see if I can make space for a Rebel in my garage, and I'll just get that last race done to unlock the last engine stage for cars and then I will win (DISCLAIMER: i will probably not win)

EDIT - Won't be able to make the very first event because of exams. Should be able to make the second event though because my last ever exam is on the morning of that day.

EDIT 2 - Here's my registration.

Driver (GTP + PSN): Snorevette/GTP_Snorevette
Truck color: Black
Customization Options: Aero Bed Cover, Baja Bar, Five Star Wheels (Offroad)

EDIT 3: WHOA THATS A LOT OF EDITS - Just noticed something, you'll need to change the vehicle restrictions for all the races, right now custom vehicles can't be used or turned on at all.

You have to remain in the playlist until the end of the session. Missing one weekly event does not ban you from the series.

I may change this rule to being that you only gain the points in the races that you take part in, and not have you DQ'd for leaving the playlist. But I would prefer people stay for the whole playlist, so I may have some sort of penalty handed out to those who leave early.

I guess I have to lift the vehicle restrictions?

Yeah, for some reason it doesn't let you use custom vehicles in single-vehicle races, which is really annoying tbh because I made a Sultan-only rally a while ago and built a Sultan specifically for the race, only to find I couldn't use it. Just add a rule that states that if someone enters a race in any vehicle other than a Rebel (out of curiosity, is the clean Rebel allowed?) then they're disqualified.
Of course there's the issue of people accidentally picking the wrong car and being unable to change it. Not sure how to deal with that. Maybe force a last place finish on them?

The clean Rebel is allowed.

If anybody chooses a car other than the Karin Rebel, they will be disqualified for that race.
 
What's this? An adolescent hosting a racing series on GTA, out of all places? Dis gon b gud. :sly:

In other news, yes, I just might take part in it, but you should be aware that I'm going to make numerous trips this summer, so might not take part in every race. Just sayin'.
 
I pushed back the starting date to the 19th as that gives more time for people to join and as some (@Snorevette) will not make the first event. I hope that this delay doesn't prove to be inconvenient for anyone.
 
Does anyone want to join my test run of the playlist?
 
I'm interested in this. I tried to do something similar ages ago but it fell on its face.
i have lots of stages if you want to use somein future
 
Will you be testing today?
I'll be hosting a session of the playlist at 3:00 PM Eastern.

EDIT: Sorry about not hosting, I got too caught up with the crew. I'll host one tonight, though.

It's open: I'll be sending crew invites, so if possible get on GTA Online to enter.

Well, only one person joined my playlist when I was hosting (@TripleA5). I hope everyone's ready for tomorrow, because that's when this is actually starting.

Would have joined today, but my internet went out with a power surge and I spent the last 2 hours fixing it
 
I don't want to do this but I might have to make the sewer and Mount Chiliad races non-contact. There's too little space to make passes and if somebody spins, anyone who is behind them will certainly crash.

Playlist is ready for action. 👍

I've decided to have the sewer and Mount Chiliad races be standard with contact, but if things get bad enough I'll make them non-contact for future events.
 
I've been having some minor connection issues recently, but I should be fine.

EDIT- Bman, I suggest you turn matchmaking off or it may get awkward - it also removes the lobby timer.

Alright. @Jahgee1124 didn't have any time to join the first event so that will help a lot.

Some people in here aren't part of the series itself but are part of the crew. I guess I'll allow them in here for now considering there aren't a lot of people in the series.

EDIT: Matchmaking can't be changed in the lobby? No clue why.
