If you all want/plan on doing one during the week let me know and I'll help out with some AP, but I myself know I won't be able to take advantage of it until a weekend.
can we do 30 lappers instead? i start screwing up around 40 laps
cant feel my fingers etc lol

Can't feel your fingers...............

So 60 laps it is, Skull will never get first


Just j/k, yea if everyone is more willing to do 30 laps that's cool in my book, we can take a break in between and do another 30 laps and get the same RP/XP really, or at least close.

I just want massive peeps in , makes it a lot more interesting when people are spread all around the track. People can just come from behind outta no where and have a chance.

^ exactly. I hate getting stuck and then coming in last... I did really well one 15 lapper with that coffee was in too. I got lucky and was with a relatively good drafting partner (although when I used my "Pass on Right" bind he didn't listen -.-) except he bumped me in the back a few times. At the end of the last lap you just go no-holds-barred with your partner for the better position .

Is there a difference between two 30-lappers and a single 60-lap XP/RP-wise?

TBH, I'm not sure... But I would rather do 1 60 lapper, than 2 30 lappers.

really?
The other advantage of a 30 lapper is that it shares the loot more evenly. Two different people will likely come in first instead of a single winner.

I don't care what I do, Like I always say. I just wanna drive

And I don't think there is a difference except for when the positions change, but if you notice it is proportionate to go from 15 laps to 30 laps so I would say no real difference at all.

You get approx. 2.5K RP from 30 laps without any added 2x or % bonus and approx 5k from 60 laps without and bonus.

With enough people we can hopefully help prevent that. But a 30 lapper will also help.

I'm down for either one Just got done with a 30 lapper in 10th place. There were 18 people in the room 5 left and then the rest of the 13 didn't even know how to drive. At the start of the game someone tried to bang everyone up. It was horrible...

Most of pub TA's I've been in are similar.. Unless you do what I've done in the past and let the crash and bangers take a lead and after about a lap or two you have a nice clear ride typically in the top 5 if not higher.

Of course, someone else good could get a leg up then your playing the chase game the entire run.. Regardless you don't rage quit over the smash and laugh guys.
