    Ranked Event: GP Macau
    For the ninth Ranked Event of 2023 we're going to Macau on Saturday, November 18! Will you join the FR3 for a 25 minutes race or will you take on the GT3 for a 20 & 40 minutes race? The top 32 European drivers based on their Ranked Multiplayer Rank will battle for a spot in the Hall of Fame in this live broadcast.


    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, November 16 13:00 CEST.

    GT3 Leaderboard

    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 leaderboard closes, 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 November 16 12:00 CET until race day Saturday November 18. 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.

    Race day timetable
    All times below are the local times (AEDT / CET / ET).

    FR3:
    • 18:00 - Practice starts
    • 20:00 - Qualification (10 minutes, private lap)
    • 20:10 - Warm-up (1-3 minutes)
    • 20:12 - Race start (25 minutes)
    GT3:

    • 20:20 - Warm-up (1-3 minutes)
    • 21:22 - Race 2 start (40 minutes, top 10 reversed grid)
    It is possible that the servers will be opened earlier for America and Europe, however the qualification for FR3 will always start at 20:00 local time and GT3 will always start at 20:45 local time. It is advised to join before the qualification starts, you can (re)join during qualification and during the first warm-up.

    Pretty sure you can still drive, probably on a server with other unranked drivers or on the server youd get into with a 1500 rating/70 reputation.
    But you can also just do one ranked race over the next 6ish days to be sure

    You can 100% drive without driving on ranked before, so no worries.

    The top 32 ranking*reputation drivers. The hotlap competition is only for practice and not relevant for the race

    Top 32 geht nach ranking * reputation, leaderboard ist nur zum training. Steht paar posts weiter oben auch schon ;)
    Falls du im rennen mitfährst wirst du am renntag in ner email sehen wer auf deinem server ist und falls du unter den top 32 bist kannstes so sehen, ansonsten wohl erst wenn du den livestream guckst (außer sowas wird auf discord veröffentlicht, da bin ich nich und hab dementsprechend keine ahnung :D)

    so i signed up for both European & American events (got both google form confirmations emails), but only got an email this morning about the american event. Does that mean I can't race the euro event which starts in one hour from now?

    The grids have been posted on their discord server, and I can't see your name there, so maybe something went wrong with your second sign-up. You could probably ask them on Discord.

    @majuh I wasn't sure about that, but Chris confirmed it on Discord. You can race in different regions (in special events like this) but in order to sign up for them you need to wait for deadlines. Sign up for Region 1, wait for its deadline, then sign up for Region 2. Very inconvenient and not obvious, hope they can improve that in the future.

    Yeah, that explains it. Maybe it would be possible to select the regions you want to race in via checkboxes?
