The official results from last night's race, round 4: Well done Senor, Jetta and Bukit for getting the podium places. Note that Banther's result doesn't count and Lifted will raise up into 10th place. Mac Daddy will get 8 honorary points for sixth place, because that was his expected position before his disconnect. This does not affect the other results of the race. Thanks, guys, I enjoyed that. See you for round 5 next week.

Trumpet lol...I'm sure he was pissed but don't take a persons car after they're already in it and driving off sorry Hi Banther. I know you're pissed about that, but it's within the rules and Trumpet didn't do anything technically wrong. I guess, morally, he shouldn't have done it, so perhaps you should have a private word with him and make sure he wasn't targeting you personally. Cheers! No one ever targets anyone personally when stealing a car in Gfred. It's just whoever is unfortunate enough to be the closest person with a car. XD

No one ever targets anyone personally when stealing a car in Gfred. It's just whoever is unfortunate enough to be the closest person with a car. XD I agree, and the rules are plain and clear in the OP: R U L E S:Stealing another player's car is positively ENCOURAGED --- Banther, however, is a respected member of NightShift crew and wasn 't aware of the rules, so let's just put it down to experience.
It was my fault as well for not making the rules absolutely clear before the race kicked off. I should have asked if everyone was 100% clear on the rules?
Moving on... we need to make sure there are no repercussions or revenge kills in future races, as other competitors may also be affected by the explosions and panicking NPCs.

In hindsight (and seeing in the video), it's good that you got the rocket launcher rage out of your system by the time I kicked you out of the next Sultan..., lol

I'm just thinking that if someone blew me up in that race, or I had been caught up in the explosion, I would have gone ape-shit, so props to Trumpet for keeping cool and just getting on with the race. Cool, man. And I know some of you would have rage quit in that situation too

Hey guys,
The point of Gfred on Wednesday nights is to give us a scheduled event to look forward to mid-week. We know it's definitely going to happen and that people are going to be there. So just turn up as there are still plenty of places available.
I'm not trying to establish the 'definitive' Gfred event, or trying to establish myself as the Gfred 'man' or anything like that. It's just an organised event that brings the crew together on Wednesday nights. And we need that, let's face it - properly scheduled events.
Keep on practising... and I'll see you next Wednesday.

Post by macdaddy on May 30, 2017 9:36:44 GMT -5
So was a quiet Sunday evening and I decided to run a solo Gfred just for fun... fastest car I was able to wrangle on the hwy was a (get this!)... a flippin Stanier!!!! No collisions with NPC traffic because it DOESN'T MOVE FAST ENOUGH!!!
I get through the airport car park... (jump? Yeah right!).. and FINALLY get to trade up on the way to The tracks... best option??? A FLIPPIN CARBINA-FRICKEN-ZARRE!!!!! Barely make it up Chiliad before blowing it up at the observatory.... still finished under 24 mins....
My advice to all of you... if you reach the highway and your best option is a Stanier... QUIT and save yourselves the 20 minutes! Hope you are all as entertained reading this as I was in writing it.

24 min will still get you in top 20 for the event in most cases.

Practicing the other day I set a new PB at 23.23.xxx or something close to that. Found an Exemplar and stuck with it through the whole race. How can I record videos that long? As all I have is a screenshot of my finish

Here are the results from last night's race: Congratulations to Copyright for an excellent win, and to Bukit and Brain for the podium finishes. It's getting close at the top of the Championship now, folks... positively exciting lol, as there are about six people in real contention for the overall win. BTW, I'm thinking about throwing a spanner into the works and adding an extra check-point (or two) for next weeks' race... but let's see how it goes and if there's enough time. Cheers!

I'm thinking about cutting the championship down to 10 rounds. Obviously... to give myself a better chance of winning it before the young 'uns catch up, LOL, but seriously what do you think? Is 20 rounds too much?
Looking at the leader-board there are only about six people in contention, and people with only a few points are losing interest and will continue to drop off until there's only five or six of us left on race-day.
Don't worry, it won't be the end of the event. I'll kick off a new Gfred after the event is over if everyone is up for it - a fresh Championship 2 or something. Post your comments and let me know, or let's chat during the week.
Cheers!
