WHAY!?

Still got another 13/14 days left before the first.
Or is that what it is for?

The countdown is for the Gumball start.

Okay, sorry got confused as it started at 14. Thanks BP.

Fantastic! New Westhill Gumball!

This Gumball is gonna be fun. Nice to see the racetrack's gone back to 2 ways too, it'll add a lot more freedom to the layout and provide a bit of nostalgia. Will be interesting to see what routes people take, I'm thinking the racetrack and that loop around the map you can do will be most popular, although the latter will probably see some hefty speeding fines with the 75mph and 60mph limits!

Another reminder that you only have 6 days left to enter and confirm a team for the rally, the deadline for which is Sunday 26th July 2015 at 23:59 GMT+1.

So far 7 teams have been confirmed. Don't forget to field your team if you're planning on entering one. You can do so here: http://forum.city-driving.co.uk/showthre...?tid=18320

Is 550k enough for gumball?

[Toni]

Easily, if you only drive on the racetrack, as the limit is 160 in there.

[Borja]

Depends on what are you going to do.. if you race all days all hours, over speeding, im not sure.
In going to play all with near to speed limits, you got enought

If you are going to play all days in / or more to the limits, or dont going to race all days, you got very enought

[Barney [CA]]

rumors say the limit has been (partially) lowered. wich honestly i cant understand at all if it is the case. as mentioned on previous page i even support a raised limit outside the ractrack. but as pete didnt comment it, i already feared a lowered tracklimit.

higher limit on the described outside route would aswell relieve the crowded racetrack and support a safer driving for all imho. now we have this beautiful endless westhill enviroment, but 30 to 40 players will fight on the racetrack for every centimeter, until some funny guys show up n place speedtraps on it xD just a random assumption we will see how things develop...

[[TC]►Ras◄]

We plan to decrease the limit on some parts of the racetrack as 160 kph isn't safe. Similar to the old Westhill track.

Haven't heard wether or not that is true, but it makes senses. After all the place is called City Driving, so the speedlimits have to be realistic to some degree and they are already a lot higher than that.

Also the racetrack with layout becomes more narrow and needs to have a lower limit to accomodate that.

My mistake, but you are probably used to it.

And yes, previously, I believe the racetrack was 100mph all the way through. This is unsafe and also makes it impossible to earn the maxmum Euro per 5 seconds.

I just hope the two "highways" will be 160 cause otherwise im going broke for sure.

Most likely will. Pete even mentioned the possibility of increasing Highway 1 to 200 kph But we'll see what we end up with.

[KooKoo]

I will rent FZR for the whole gumball season.
