The starting stages are similar to last Gumball's system, i will be pasting and editing some info from last Gumball to clarify how to start/retire a stage.
This Cannonball event has two stages, one is the First to Columbus, replacing the gumball's pedal to metal stage, and it will be a 6-hour stage. The other one is the remaining 42 hours to complete 48 hours of Cannonball, so both stages are time-based.
Here is an example how Insim will look like*, and what will it require for you to start a stage.
First off, clicking on "HOME MENU" in Safe Zone will give you a new box on the bottom, called Rally
After clicking on Rally, you will be taken to a new box, where you will be shown information about current stage, if you currently have one active, or you can select a new stage by clicking Show available stages.
The list will show what stages you have finished, what stages you did-not-finish and what stage is currently available.
Clicking on one of the finished stages will reveal more information about the stage itself.
Clicking on stages you retired from will show this (in the following example it says "distance 5km", it will be "endless" instead):
Clicking on an available stage, which you have not completed yet will give you information about the stage
Starting a stage, and knowing you might not be able to complete it successfully, you can choose to retire from the stage by going into Rally menu, selecting the stage and click Retire from current stage which will also be visible to everyone on the server
On top of the screen, or above rear view mirror if you're using it, is the information about your current stage and how much time left for it's end
If any of the information above is inaccurate we will edit it
Any questions are to be discussed in the
discussion thread
