TDU Central PC Competition Re-launch!!

[TriggerHappyJim]

Oh, hey, is this project getting moving again? I'm still in!

 

That is, if I can get the game to work. I haven't played in quite a while because the damn thing keeps locking.

Yes but I want to do some more cruises to see how the connections are first. I had problems last night connecting to TheScottishSpotter.

[Iced_Bullet]

Not being pushy (......much :twisted:)

When's this happening then? :D

[S71NG3R]

There are still connection problems but looks like we will have to go with what we got.

 

In the new year I will start this up again and find out who is available to do it and when.

 

The voice communication is still hit and miss with TheScottishSpotter but we are working to find the best solution.

Ventrillo? Or in-game mics? As speed and him use it ...

 

Well thinkning about it, you've probably tried these :D

[S71NG3R]

Yes lag is the main problem I don't want to say stop and the message is delayed by 10mins. :)

 

Problem is having the bandwidth used for talking TDU seams to take even longer for us to be in the same session.

[Iced_Bullet]

Use a real phone :p I know it's weird, but if you're on contract and have free mins ... lol It only takes 30mins to to get to the top with the full road rules.

[S71NG3R]

Unfortunately I'm on pay as you go but I like your thinking.

PC Competition Re-launch!!

 

PC Competition Re-launch!!

 

The time is here for the much anticipated PC competition.

 

We have solutions to most of the problems and are ready to do the competition. Thank you for everyone's patience as this has been the longest on-going competition in TDU Central history so we're very sorry about that but hey it's finally here !

 

There are some changes to the competition from where we got up to last time and I must apologise first to all entrants about the changes.

 

You will see I have reset all entrants and cars that were chosen. You will all need to list yourself as an entrant if you are taking part but those that were listed the first time have priority on the cars they wanted.

 

Here are the new rules:

 

 

TDU Central - Challenge Competition for PC

 

 

 

 

 

 

TDU Central are proud to announce the first PC competition!!

 

Think you’re a good driver? Maybe even the best? Well now you can prove it.

 

You have just spent your hard earned money on an expensive supercar. The challenge now is to get to the lighthouse for a photo shoot. The only winners here are the ones who can get to the lighthouse without crashing their car.

 

The Rules:

 

We will be following UK road rules so no passing on the right (undertaking) or going over any red lights.

 

You have to Start from the Car Park at the Southern lighthouse and drive to the top left lighthouse (see map below).

 

Full road rules apply, no crashing, undertaking, outside lane hogging, going through red lights, dangerous driving, going off road and making other traffic take evasive action. In other words be courteous and treat that supercar like it was your own.

 

The supercars are road legal and are restricted to 155MPH/250KPH.

 

Scoring is done by a points system; if you get maximum points then sorry but you are out of the competition. You MUST leave the session if you reach the maximum of 5 points.

 

There will be a maximum of 4 people each time. There will be 2 judges, 1 in front leading and 1 at the very back. The judges will be watching at all times making sure you do not to break any of the rules above. However they will let you off at their discretion if you have been made to break a rule because of a glitch in the game. The judges’ word is final!

 

The people with the lowest score in each group will go through to the Semi-final. Winners of the Semi-final will then go through to the Final.

 

If more than one person has the same score we go for an elimination drive after the photo shoot. We go for the elimination drive until there is an eventual group Winner.

 

The Final:

 

The Final will be in Hardcore mode (Driving aids any or off) and is an elimination drive until there is an eventual Winner.

 

Points system:

 

Any kind of crashing = 1 pt

 

Undertaking = 1 pt

 

Going through red lights = 1 pt

 

Making other traffic take evasive action = 1 pt

 

Braking the restricted speed limit 155MPH/250KPH = 1 pt(going over the speed limit is allowed when overtaking)

 

Outside lane hogging = 1 pt

 

Dangerous driving = 1 pt

 

Going off road = 1 pt

 

Overtaking the leader judge = 1 pt

 

How to enter:

 

The competition will start on Saturday 26th January @ 9pm UK time.

 

Please reply if you want to be in the competition and are available to participate on this date and after.

 

There will be a maximum of 4 people per group and 2 judges in the session.

 

The closing date for listing yourself as an entrant is Saturday 19th January.

 

Entrants will be grouped together based on your local timezone.

Pleeeassse :D

 

Still has not changed :)

[The Queen]

Ah cool it's posted. Not the G-Spyder, your always in that :D. Anyway i don't have control on the matter so you are "allowed" it :oook:

[Iced_Bullet]

Fine, if S71NG3R agrees with you, then I'll choose the Ford GT :)

 

But only if S71NG3R agrees.

 

E: Actually I'll go in the GT anyway. *previous post edited*

[The Queen]

Yeah that sounds cool. Hopefully Stinger does agree. Imo it's more exotic and will have more presence on the roads ;)

[S71NG3R]

Iced if BeetrootShoes doesn't want it then it's ok.

[Iced_Bullet]

Iced if BeetrootShoes doesn't want it then it's ok.

OK, fair enough. Jut thought you'd wiped the list. Tis all. If he/she does want it, then I'll have the F430. (not the spyder, the coupé ;))

[The Queen]

And there was me thinking you were gonna call it the hardtop :D. Also nicely placed special e in coupe ;). Can't wait for this, should be good. I am a judge so i can take any car but it will have to be fast enough to catch someone out :D

[Mb]

Noble M12 GTO-3R

 

In!

[Enos]

Gallardo SE....

 

:D

[Car Freak]

Still the M15... Can't we take something slower, like class E? For one thing, keeping to the speed limit won't be so difficult and boring, and another, I want an excuse to dig my XK out of the garage again...

Sorry but the cars in class E are not super cars. It's a competition not a cruise it's not going to be easy.

[The Queen]

Exactly. This is not some lazy weekend cruise. This is a challenge and it's supposed to be difficult otherwise it wouldn't be challenging ;)

[-Lr-SpeedraceR]

Cool ! :)

I'll be there in my CLK DTM AMG :)

[S71NG3R]

Just a reminder as the closing date is getting close Saturday 19th January.

 

The time and date for the first group will be known after the closing date. But will not start before Saturday 26th January @ 9pm UK time.

[The Queen]

Sounds good, can't wait. Should be fun and it will definitly seperate the good drivers from the rubbish ones :D (No offence intended ;))

[CarboyZR1]

If I can make it, I will get the Gallardo Spyder as well if I can.
