This is one of the things i've come up with which is a fun one night series event featuring Go-Karts. In the spirit of Mario Kart, the courses can be any number of surfaces and weather conditions. However, due to the use of the Rallycross courses only 6 entrants are allowed. If we get enough entrants we could drop the rally courses and add some other short tracks. The conditions and tracks will be chosen at random as we go via a randomizer phone app or drawn from a hat, if all participants have the Fun Pack DLC then it will also be used. As always, assists will be realistic and custom setups will be allowed. Saying things like "Let's-a-go!", "Mamamiiya", taunting when overtaking and pouting when overtaken are encouraged.
ROUNDS: 10-31 (TBD) DATE & TIME: Next Wednesday @ 5pm EST/10pm UK PRACTICE & QUALIFYING: No LAPS: 5 Each POINTS: Pre-Nintendo Wii era Mario Kart 1ST - 9pts. 2ND - 6pts. 3RD - 3pts. 4TH - 1pt. 5th - 0pts. 6th - 0pts.

I guess the first thing is to see who is interested and then we can go from there. Sign up with your name, gamertag and Kart choice please!

Peter Hooper / Hammerpgh
Depends when it is of course but i'm up for a laugh if it fits. No idea about what kart yet though as i've only messed around in one of them when the game first came out.
I'll try to have a look over the next few days after I've had a bit of Laguna Indycar practice.

I'll try to have a look over the next few days after I've had a bit of Laguna Indycar practice. We'll all need to agree on a date and time to do this. It's the SMS Kart that we'll be using and it has 20 different liveries. I had some fun just driving the go-karts offline on some of those tracks so I think we could have some great fun and laughs with this. The AI are way too fast on anything but the Kart tracks so they aren't good to get a benchmark test against. I also had a lot of fun the other night driving that 1984 Ferrari in the Road E class on Vintage Le Mans in the nighttime.

I'm pretty much always free and would jump in on this. I did a bit of karts in PCars 1 but not since.

I suggest we finish the 1972 Vintage season next week and then run this perhaps the following Wednesday as a bit of an end of season party lol So that would be Wednesday, 20th November at 10pm UK. What do you think?

They're so slow that the racing should be close and exciting. They have no trouble going off-roading and going over dirt jumps. Barriers blocking your path? No problem, just ram that s#!+ outta the way! Racing in a blizzard? Throw some ice tyres on that b!+€#!

It might be good to push this back a week with the 3 Hours of Le Mans coming up. We also need to test out the AI for racing with us for the 1972 season which might take a session or two to figure out.

My thoughts exactly Tyler and we are also still finishing the F1 season which ends 31st November so a lot to fit in in such a short time. Maybe hold this over until the AI testing is done. How about first Wednesday in December which I think is the 3rd?

Used to love mario kart back in the day, is it only on nintendo switch though? It is, but Tyler is planning an event using the karts in PCars2 and running one-off multiple event evening. Road, dirt and snow courses with all types of weather conditions. Just something fun in between our regular wednesday events.

Going to be running a one-off Le Mans Group C event in the next couple weeks. That can be found in the Non Championship Events section as well.
