TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT & START PROCEDURE

[Image: announcement.png] Track Announcement


The 9th running of the [TC] CityDriving Gumball 3000 rally will start at Montana (Aston) and after 7 days, at 21:00 UTC+1 on Friday 28th July, we will switch to Jamaica (Fern Bay) for our first multi-track Gumball since 2013.

Montana has long been the spiritual home of the CityDriving Gumball and we wanted to give it another run during a Gumball. For the past 2 years, the 14 day Gumball has taken place on the new Westhill map so we're bringing back the classics. Jamaica was last used during the first week of the 2013 event and will be used during the second week of the rally this year to shake things up a bit and to deliver another classic Gumball.

The slow corner at the south end of Highway 2 on Montana will host this year's starting grid and podium.

This year we are running an organised start on server one and two. If you purchased opening night tickets you will need to be on the server by 20:30 UTC+1 so that we can brief you on the procedure and get the cars in order for the start. Your server password will be sent to you on the day of the event via private message on the forum.

Drivers will assemble in the grid area and will be called out team by team at 21:00 UTC+1. If you are on the server as an individual you will be called out after all of the teams have joined the queue. The order that teams are called out will depend on the amount of event donations that a team raises before the start time. In the real Gumball, the cars that leave the grid first are those who raised the most money for the Gumball charity in the run up to the rally. The team donation totals can be found on the Start Podium tab of the Competitor and Donation Tracker.

Please see the image above for the procedure we will be following to get the Gumball started!

Anyone who is on server one or two who is not in a team will start in a random order at the back. If you bought an opening night ticket but are unable to attend, please let us know.

Teams and drivers with server one or server two opening night access will be asked to obey all admin instructions for the duration of the starting procedure. Any misconduct will result in you being excluded from the start and disqualified from Gumball 2017. This is because the start of Gumball is stressful enough for event staff and ensuring everything runs smoothly relies heavily on your cooperation.
