    Ranked Event: Bathurst 2H 2024
    The second Ranked Event of 2024 is the Bathurst 2 Hours on Saturday, February 24!

    The top European split with the highest Ranked Multiplayer rating and reputation will be streamed live and the winners will get a spot in the Hall of Fame.


    Leaderboard: compare your time with others
    Everybody is invited to set their best lap on the leaderboards to compare your time against others. You do not need to own the track and you can try every car for free. The leaderboards will close on Thursday, February 22 13:00 CET.

    Everybody is invited to race
    Everyone who wants to race is invited: all skill levels and regions. You do need to own the content in order to participate. You will be matched with other drivers based on your Ranked Multiplayer Rating and Reputation of your region.

    Time zone/regions for the race
    The races are organized in three main time zones:
    • America: ET
    • Europe: CET
    • Oceania: AEDT
    Confirm you want to race
    When the leaderboards close, a confirmation form will be opened. This form will be sent by mail to everybody who set a lap time on the leaderboard. The form will also be announced on Discord, Social Media and added to this topic.

    The confirmation form will be open from Thursday February 22 13:00 CET until race day Saturday February 24. The form will close at a different time for each region:
    • America: 09:00 ET
    • Europe: 12:00 CET
    • Oceania: 18:00 AEDT
    Your rating and reputation will be fetched at the time listed above. To be safe, make sure your last race ends +/- 30 minutes before the deadline.

When the Oceania grid is ready and/or the server has gone online without a password, you can sign up for the European race until the deadline (countdown available on Discord).

    Your age shouldn't matter for this event since it's not an official eSports competition.

    I haven't put a very decent time on the leaderboard yet (around #600). I was hoping to get that done tomorrow morning, as it says here the leaderboard closes tomorrow noon. But it is already closed, what's up with that?

    [​IMG] Balance of Performance for the Bathurst 2H Ranked Event
    Here it is, the BoP for the second Ranked Event of 2024! Practice servers has been updated with the Balance of Performance. Notes from the BoP team:
    • Don't be frightened by the big ballast weight numbers! Bathurst is a bit of an odd track that is very sensitive to power, drag and downforce compared to car weight.
    • The McLaren 720S is an odd one out, with it being an older generation car and thus having a power/drag ratio that can feel a little out of place compared to current gen GT3 cars that are generally low powered, but very slippery. We've noticed it was at times a frustrating car to drive in battle at Daytona. In order to get it up to speed at the end of the straight, we needed to put some significant weight on the car to keep lap times in check.
