I have been thinking about an event we can run on Christmas day (from say 7pm gmt).
Last night I entered a friends room for an event called 'wacky races'. What a gas!
We had 5 guys from England and 5 foreigners, so we made 2 teams. England vs Foreigners. Each round the 1st 3 positions scored a time bonus for the final.
1st = 20 seconds
2nd = 10 seconds
3rd = 5 seconds.
At the end there is a final (called 'fugitive') which is run over 2 legs at NUrburgring Nordshleife. At this point 1 team will have acumulated a time bonus and the other will have no time bonus. The team without the bonus goes first.
Each team designates a driver 'The fugitive' who gets to drive a Subaru Impresa. He goes onto the track and the whole opposition team also goes to the track in a Nascar. The Nascars have to try to stop the progress of the Subaru. If they pin the Subaru to the barriers and hold it still for 3 seconds the Nascars win (which is pretty impossible). The subaru drivers team watch and cheer or try to help with information. The Subarus time for the lap gets recorded.
Then roles are reversed. The team with the time bonus send their designated driver to the track and the other team take Nascars to the track. The Subaru gets to pull away and the Nascars are only allowed to start once the time bonus has elapsed. The Subaru with the best lap time wins (obviously the whole team wins the whole event).
It consists of about 7 events. I missed the 1st few but the ones I did were:
Dirty Rally - Rally driving with 'prison rules'.
Red Bull reverse - 1 lap of Eifel circuit but you have to drive the Red Bull in reverse.
Cat and mouse - Fiat500's being pushed by Nissan GTR's (teams of 2)
Fugitive (as discribed above).
It was so much fun, I think it would be great for a christmas event. We could obviously have more rounds (you guys can come up with some crazy ideas) and it would have to be South Africa v's 'the rest'.
Anybody keen ???
