The GT Challenge is a series of roll-a-car-class races designed to replicate the lineups of different Gran Turismo race series. That is, if you entered eg. the FF challenge in Gran Turismo, you would expect to find the usuals like a Toyota Yaris, a Mitsubishi FTO, a Honda Accord and probably something like a Peugeot 206.

The car packs are tested and curated and fairly even in performance, but that's all. Just like Gran Turismo, some are better than others simply because I will not spend weeks balancing on horsepower and weight. You must deal with this as an entrant.

The packs are balanced by driving laps around two representative tracks which I will decide on later. One kinda quick and one more technical so balance is well revealed.

The packs range from the aforementioned FF cup to full race cars. Pack size may vary, but kept rather small to avoid too much balancing work (for me).

'''Note for the Assetto Corsa tryhards that will look at the mods and start whining about tires not being the same or horsepower or driver aids and what not''' - the pack is balanced exclusively on LAPTIME. Some cars may have street tires. Some cars may have slicks. It doesn't matter. They produce a laptime that make them competitive with each other which is all that matters.

== Race Format ==
*Two races

*8 minute qualifying session.

*15 minutes +1 lap

*First race grid is settled by quali, second is full grid reverse of the race 1 result.

== Series Rules ==
* The only unknown factor for each race weekend will be which car pack is being run.

* An hour before each race, the car pack will be rolled on a Twitch stream @ https://www.twitch.tv/rbdk52. Wheel of misfortune style.

* The server will go up ASAP after the roll. That obviously means that you have deduced correctly there is no practice server.

* You have a free choice of car in the pack. You are free to test different cars in the hour leading up to quali, but whichever car you are in when the server rolls onto quali is the car you will be racing for the round, no exceptions.

* There will be one more pack for the points rounds than there are rounds leaving even the final round uncertain

* There will be a stupid bonus round at the end probably, no points for this one, with the final car pack

* Don't drive like an idiot, and pay attention to the flags.

* Don't flip Marko Tulska. Unless it's [[Flip Marko Tulska Day]] or if flipping him would be really funny.

* Feel free to run wide on corner exit, just expect to be called a faggot and insulted in public especially if you wreck someone because of it.

== Car Classes ==
[[File:Gtc raceclasses small.png|
250px|frameless|right]]
* Sunday Cup - Small quick hatches
* FF Trophy - Mix of FWD cars from coupés and crossovers
* FR Meet - Light FR sports cars
* 4WD Cup - From executives to rally homologation cars
* Dream Car Festival - Supercars
* GT World Challenge - Fast racecars
* X2010 Masters - Single Make
* New Beetle Showdown - Single Make
* Citroen GT Battle - Single Make

== How Do I Connect to the Server? ==
Server will be WAT: GTC and the pass is 4ch

== Restart Procedure ==
Race will be restarted if needed. But probably not.

== Skins Guideline ==

Due to the nature of the series, this makes no sense. So no skins for this one, particularly because it will be mostly road cars.

== FAQ ==

- Presence on Mumble is not mandatory, but '''''highly''''' encouraged. If you're not on mumble at the very least pay attention to the AC chat.

- While the series is open for anyone to join, please practice until you feel comfortable around the track before joining the race.

If you want to join, please sign up and keep an eye on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vlVjNh8r6o_KYUFHf7Hcp8ZaYS5lsEZwFvTeu_K_c1Q/edit?gid=1285191171#gid=1285191171 Google Document for more information].

== How Do I Join? ==
Ensure you have added RBDK as a Rockstar Social Club friend, see the ID in the Google Doc. If you don't know how to do that or where to ask you have been filtered.

Before the start of the rally the server will be set up as invite only. RBDK as the host will invite all drivers.

== Restart Procedure ==
No such thing in a rally, so take care and go a little slower. If you have to retire the car you may re-enter the rally starting from Stage 6 as this will be our "service area" with Los Santos Customs available to repair your vehicle.

== Rally Route ==
[[File:WCR_Map_Small.png|300px|thumb|right]]
A full route of the rally can be seen in the file on the right or on this [MEGA Mirror]. The rally consists of 10 stages and interstages with a combined length of 33 miles or 53 km (50% longer than last time!) which in any other rally game would be a piece of cake, but GTA has its quirks and funny business making this plenty long enough for some chaos.

To enable you to learn the stages a bit easier than last year, I have made a complete stage recce with the CAR in stock form. You can watch this recce here:

[West Coast Rally 2026 Recce Video]

A Stage Guide Book containing the start and finish line locations has been written for the occasion. Download it and print it or have it on a second screen or a tablet for reference since you cannot set the GPS in GTA to go the correct route. If you are found to cut corners because you didn't read the route (some stages this is very relevant) you will be penalized. The book is available on [MEGA] and on [Google Drive].

== Rules ==

West Rally 2026 will be run in a private session of GTA Online with all contestants in the same lobby. The rally will NOT be run as a GTA race, but rather as simply a free roam event. This is to ensure the "real" rally experience driving from stage to stage and retaining damage picked up earlier.

'''''Stage Run Procedure'''''

First contestant lines up at the starting line defined in the stage guide. After setting off, depending on the stage, there will be a wait until the competitor has reached a certain point on the stage before the next driver can go.

On stage finish, contestants must wait at the end of the stage (not blocking the finish) and then drive to the start of the next stage when the race organizer gives a go-ahead on mumble. Basically just wait until everyone is ready.

'''''Timing'''''

Timing will be done by each individual driver. At the end of a stage, when everyone has finished or retired, you will relay the time to RBDK who puts it into a spreadsheet.

I recommend you set your phone up such it doesn't turn off its display until after 10 minutes, and then use the stopwatch app. My method is start the timer, and as it hits 5 seconds you set off. This gives you a little countdown to set off to, and you simply subtract 5 seconds from the time as you stop the timer.

I will penalize you if you're a little bitch and try to cheat with this. This is a special event for the sake of a fun evening, not a tryhard fest.

'''''Car Choice'''''

For this rally, I am enforcing a more limited choice of cars. Your car must be a 4 door sedan. It can be from Southern San Andreas Super Autos or it can be from Legendary Motorsport or it can be something you stole off the street. No exceptions to this rule, it is to change up this running of the rally. 2 door sedans are not allowed, neither are coupes or SUVs or any other vehicle you can think of.

All performance mods are allowed EXCEPT armor and bullet proof tires. Your car MUST be without armor and bullet proof tires. If I suspect your car is in fact armored, I will crash/pistol test it and decide if I think you are cheating or not.

Any weapons related mods are also prohibited.

'''''Car Damage and Retirements'''''

Any damage sustained to a vehicle is kept until the service points before stage 4 and stage 11. ONLY at these points (and before starting the rally) may a driver repair the car with Los Santos Customs or by spawning in the car using the mechanic. In other words if you break your car on stage 5, you're stuck with it for stage 6 through 10 as well.

If the car is "destroyed" (you need insurance to get a new one) you are retired until the next service point. If you destroy the car after the last service point, you are DNF.

Keep this in mind when choosing your car.

'''''Weapon Useage'''''

If you're a complete fucking idiot and haven't realized that any sort of weapon useage in general is prohibited, you need to get your head checked.

== Why aren't you doing this my way in my game of choice you're a bad organizer ==

Because I want to do it in GTA.

== FAQ ==

- Presence on Mumble is unfortunately mandatory this time since Rockstar removed comms from the game itself.

This is to ensure the "real" rally experience driving from stage to stage and retaining damage picked up earlier.

'''''Stage Run Procedure'''''

First contestant lines up at the starting line defined in the stage guide. After setting off, about 30 seconds of wait will be before the next contestant sets off to ensure some spacing.

On stage finish, contestants must wait at the end of the stage (not blocking the finish) and then drive to the start of the next stage when the race organizer gives a go-ahead on mumble. Basically just wait until everyone is ready.

'''''Timing'''''

Timing will be done by each individual driver. At the end of a stage, when everyone has finished or retired, you will relay the time to RBDK who puts it into a spreadsheet.

I will penalize you if you're a little bitch and try to cheat with this. This is a special event for the sake of a fun evening, not a tryhard fest.

'''''Car Choice'''''

Only cars are permitted. Additionally, only cars that spawn with a driver in them on the road naturally, and cars you can buy from Southern San Andreas Super Autos as well as Luxury Motorsports are permitted. In other words no bikes, no airborne vehicles, and no meme game ruining 12-year-old-mobiles from Warstock. It's fine if the car has been "retired" from the game and you cannot buy it anymore but GTA Wiki link has to be provided then.

All performance mods are allowed EXCEPT armor and bullet proof tires. Your car MUST be without armor and bullet proof tires. If I suspect your car is in fact armored, I will crash/pistol test it and decide if I think you are cheating or not.

Any weapons related mods are also prohibited.

'''''Car Damage and Retirements'''''

Any damage sustained to a vehicle is kept until the service point before stage 6. ONLY at this point (and before starting the rally) may a driver repair the car with Los Santos Customs or by spawning in the car using the mechanic. In other words if you break your car on stage 3, you're stuck with it for stage 4 and 5 as well.

If the car is "destroyed" (you need insurance to get a new one) you are retired until stage 6. If you destroy the car after the service point, you are DNF.

Keep this in mind when choosing your car.

'''/ovg/ BYOTC''' is a Bring Your Own Touring Car series in Assetto Corsa. Series is organized by RBDK.

If you want to join, please sign up and keep an eye on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vlVjNh8r6o_KYUFHf7Hcp8ZaYS5lsEZwFvTeu_K_c1Q/edit#gid=1670398714 Google Document for more information].

== Series Rules and "Spirit" ==
BYOTC is yet another series where you find your own car to run. Except we are all running on the same physics so it doesn't matter much apart from wheelbase. We are running on 1990s BTCC touring car physics. That means:
* ~320 bhp
* ~290 Nm
* ~975kg
* FWD

The cars are agile and fast but they have no downforce to rely on. For reference in my lap times they lap Zandvoort about 7 seconds faster than a Ford GT40, so they are pretty damn quick.

The spirit of the rules is to make a touring car field. That's it. Something that looks like it belongs. There will be a couple of cars to choose from ready-made for people that can't be arsed that fit this spirit of the rules. These will be made after there are some car choices on the doc so I don't "steal" anything from someone contending. If you want to run one such car, please write on the doc in advance that you would like a "PRE-MADE" car. If you don't know how to make a car please just send the mod link over to me on the Mattermost and I'll make it work.

In other words, the only hard, non-negotiable rules are:
* Like my other series I will only permit one of each car type UNLESS you are running as a team of two cars. Once again my go-to example is you can have an E90 and an E46 3-series, but you can't have two E90s.
* Your car must be on the spec physics

Additionally I am fine with you submitting the link to the mod you wanna convert and I will convert it for you, you just have to send it in a DM on mattermost and explain that's what you want.

If you need inspiration, simply search for [https://www.assettoworld.com/cars/search?q=btcc&sort=recent BTCC on Assetto World] or [https://www.assettoworld.com/cars/search?q=wtcc&sort=recent WTCC] or even [https://www.assettoworld.com/cars/search?q=touring+car&sort=recent touring car].

To avoid having to deal with feedback on how to run a series I have created a helpful google form you can submit to the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQp58mnvZCEi7-NMtthmWoMgxpXC0VrgJKfR9FOyTcdVfKJA/viewform?usp=dialog /ovg/ complaints department]

==How To: Physics Replacement==
You will need [https://assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html Content Manager] and [https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/assetto-corsa-car-tuner.13946/ Assetto Corsa Car Tuner]. [https://mega.nz/file/zoV1iSxT#BtrQalQf355FeFCyPdKbYNcpX58FuHDZNmXGoJCKpJU Necessary files for physics replacement]

If you are a smallbrain and have reading troubles, tes made a video guide [https://youtu.be/JSvmLMtrZ2I here]. Just only concern yourself with the bits about overwriting all files, the edits in the car.ini and suspension.ini, and ignore the weight and power curve stuff. If you absolutely need a tutorial only for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kq_Ynwpatw BYOTC here is one too]

===Steps===
The steps in making a car are simple:
* Download and install a car mod for the car you have found
* Open Assetto Corsa Car Tuner (or do it manually if you know how) and create a new tune which you will add the suffix "byotc" to for your car. '''DONT PUT CAPITAL LETTERS IN THE TUNE NAME IT WILL BREAK'''
* Replace the cars physics with the donor files
* Adjust the cars wheel position to match in Content Manager
* Test your creation works

*Select the '''car''' in Car Tuner, and create a new tune with the "byotc" name. '''DONT PUT CAPITAL LETTERS IN THE TUNE NAME''' If you know how to do this manually go ahead.
*Copy the files from the respective donor car in spec physics zip file '''MINUS THE car.ini''' into the '''car''' folder. Make sure you overwrite.
*This part might be difficult if you really have no idea what you're doing, but go through the car's files and start deleting anything that looks like it'll conflict and/or ruin the Perfect BoP(tm). Make the new car's folder look as similar as possible to the donor physics folder. For example if your car has .lut files referencing it's old tires, those can be deleted. If you need help please just come on mattermost or mumble and ask.

===Specifics===
====car.ini====
* Keep the car.ini of the original car.
* From the donor car.ini, copy over the [BASIC](unsure about GRAPHICS_OFFSET and GRAPHICS_PITCH_ROTATION, test for yourself lol) [CONTROLS], [FUEL], [FUELTANK], [RIDE], [RULES] and [PIT_STOP] categories to your new car. Delete anything old in those categories.
* Leave the [HEADER], [INFO], and [GRAPHICS] categories as is. Delete anything else.

===View the Car in CM Showroom===
Click car params, scroll down and click "Align using data" under "Wheels." The wheels are probably messed up.
* Adjust the wheelbase with WHEELBASE in suspensions.ini
* Adjust the track with TRACK under [FRONT] and [REAR] or [GRAPHICS_OFFSETS] in suspensions.ini.
* Other minor things can be adjusted with GRAPHICS_OFFSET and GRAPHICS_PITCH_ROTATION in car.ini if necessary.
* Finally, in Content Manager, make the car independent of the original car. That is the one that doesn't have the _sundaycup suffix. You do this by going to Content->The car you made and then to the right of the power curve, under the preview pic, click on "Parent" and then on "Make Independent".
* Zip up the car folder and submit it
===Ok I'm All Done Now What===
*Test your car in game to make sure it actually works correctly.
*Your car's sound might be complete shit, use Content Manager to replace sounds.
*Skin your car if you want. I hope your car came with a template lol.
*Delete all the skins besides the one you want to use.
*Don't pack the data.
*Link the car on the Google doc.

===I Can't Get It To Work In Game Halp===
Just send the car over anyway in the Google doc/ask in the mattermost or mumble, just mention its fucked and someone will look at it and probably help fix it.

== How Do I Connect to the Server? ==
Server will be WAT: BYOTC and the pass is 4ch

== Restart Procedure ==
Race will be restarted if needed. But probably not.

== Race Format ==

Two races, 15 minutes each +1 lap. First race is quali, second is full grid reverse.

Don't drive like an idiot, and pay attention to the flags.

Don't flip Marko Tulska. Unless it's [[Flip Marko Tulska Day]] or if flipping him would be really funny.

=== Track Limits ===

Feel free to run wide on corner exit, just expect to be called a faggot and insulted in public especially if you wreck someone because of it.

== Skins Guideline ==

Your car will be yours and yours alone. Submit the skin you want with the car. There will be no skin packs between events, but you will also only have a single car on the server of the one you pick. That means the server will NOT require booking mode.

== FAQ ==

- Presence on Mumble is not mandatory, but '''''highly''''' encouraged. If you're not on mumble at the very least pay attention to the AC chat.

- While the series is open for anyone to join, please practice until you feel comfortable around the track before joining the race.

==How To: Physics Replacement==
You will need [https://assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html Content Manager] and [https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/assetto-corsa-car-tuner.13946/ Assetto Corsa Car Tuner]. [https://mega.nz/file/zoV1iSxT#BtrQalQf355FeFCyPdKbYNcpX58FuHDZNmXGoJCKpJU Necessary files for physics replacement]

If you are a smallbrain and have reading troubles, tes made a video guide [https://youtu.be/JSvmLMtrZ2I here]. Just only concern yourself with the bits about overwriting all files, the edits in the car.ini and suspension.ini, and ignore the weight and power curve stuff. It takes literally 10 minutes to make a car, so don't pussy out.

===Steps===
The steps in making a car are simple:
* Download and install a car mod for the car you have found
* Open Assetto Corsa Car Tuner (or do it manually if you know how) and create a new tune which you will add the suffix "byotc" to for your car. '''DONT PUT CAPITAL LETTERS IN THE TUNE NAME IT WILL BREAK'''

*Copy the files from the respective donor car in spec physics zip file '''MINUS THE car.ini''' into the '''car''' folder. Make sure you overwrite.
*This part might be difficult if you really have no idea what you're doing, but go through the car's files and start deleting anything that looks like it'll conflict and/or ruin the Perfect BoP(tm). Make the new car's folder look as similar as possible to the donor physics folder. For example if your car has .lut files referencing it's old tires, those can be deleted. If you need help please just come on mattermost or mumble and ask.

===Specifics===
====car.ini====
* Keep the car.ini of the original car.
* From the donor car.ini, copy over the [BASIC](unsure about GRAPHICS_OFFSET and GRAPHICS_PITCH_ROTATION, test for yourself lol) [CONTROLS], [FUEL], [FUELTANK], [RIDE], [RULES] and [PIT_STOP] categories to your new car. Delete anything old in those categories.
* Leave the [HEADER], [INFO], and [GRAPHICS] categories as is. Delete anything else.

===View the Car in CM Showroom===
Click car params, scroll down and click "Align using data" under "Wheels." The wheels are probably messed up.
* Adjust the wheelbase with WHEELBASE in suspensions.ini
* Adjust the track with TRACK under [FRONT] and [REAR] or [GRAPHICS_OFFSETS] in suspensions.ini.
* Other minor things can be adjusted with GRAPHICS_OFFSET and GRAPHICS_PITCH_ROTATION in car.ini if necessary.
* Finally, in Content Manager, make the car independent of the original car. That is the one that doesn't have the _sundaycup suffix. You do this by going to Content->The car you made and then to the right of the power curve, under the preview pic, click on "Parent" and then on "Make Independent".
* Zip up the car folder and submit it
===Ok I'm All Done Now What===
*Test your car in game to make sure it actually works correctly.
*Your car's sound might be complete shit, use Content Manager to replace sounds.
*Skin your car if you want. I hope your car came with a template lol.
*Delete all the skins besides the one you want to use.
*Don't pack the data.
*Link the car on the Google doc.

===I Can't Get It To Work In Game Halp===
Just send the car over anyway in the Google doc/ask in the mattermost or mumble, just mention its fucked and someone will look at it and probably help fix it.

== How Do I Connect to the Server? ==
Server will be WAT: BYOTC and the pass is 4ch

== Restart Procedure ==
Race will be restarted if needed. But probably not.

== Race Format ==

Two races, 15 minutes each +1 lap. First race is quali, second is full grid reverse.

Don't drive like an idiot, and pay attention to the flags.

Don't flip Marko Tulska. Unless it's [[Flip Marko Tulska Day]] or if flipping him would be really funny.

=== Track Limits ===

Feel free to run wide on corner exit, just expect to be called a faggot and insulted in public especially if you wreck someone because of it.

== Skins Guideline ==

Your car will be yours and yours alone. Submit the skin you want with the car. There will be no skin packs between events, but you will also only have a single car on the server of the one you pick. That means the server will NOT require booking mode.

== FAQ ==

- Presence on Mumble is not mandatory, but '''''highly''''' encouraged. If you're not on mumble at the very least pay attention to the AC chat.

'''/ovg/ BYOTC''' is a Bring Your Own Touring Car series in Assetto Corsa. Series is organized by RBDK.

If you want to join, please sign up and keep an eye on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vlVjNh8r6o_KYUFHf7Hcp8ZaYS5lsEZwFvTeu_K_c1Q/edit#gid=1670398714 Google Document for more information].

== Series Rules and "Spirit" ==
BYOTC is yet another series where you find your own car to run. Except we are all running on the same physics so it doesn't matter much apart from wheelbase. We are running on 1990s BTCC touring car physics. That means:
* ~320 bhp
* ~290 Nm
* ~975kg
* FWD

The cars are agile and fast but they have no downforce to rely on. For reference in my lap times they lap Zandvoort about 7 seconds faster than a Ford GT40, so they are pretty damn quick.

The spirit of the rules is to make a touring car field. That's it. Something that looks like it belongs. There will be a couple of cars to choose from ready-made for people that can't be arsed that fit this spirit of the rules. These will be made after there are some car choices on the doc so I don't "steal" anything from someone contending. If you want to run one such car, please write on the doc in advance that you would like a "PRE-MADE" car. If you don't know how to make a car please just send the mod link over to me on the Mattermost and I'll make it work.

In other words, the only hard, non-negotiable rules are:
* Like my other series I will only permit one of each car type UNLESS you are running as a team of two cars. Once again my go-to example is you can have an E90 and an E46 3-series, but you can't have two E90s.
* Your car must be on the spec physics

Additionally I am fine with you submitting the link to the mod you wanna convert and I will convert it for you, you just have to send it in a DM on mattermost and explain that's what you want.

If you need inspiration, simply search for [https://www.assettoworld.com/cars/search?q=btcc&sort=recent BTCC on Assetto World] or [https://www.assettoworld.com/cars/search?q=wtcc&sort=recent WTCC] or even [https://www.assettoworld.com/cars/search?q=touring+car&sort=recent touring car].

To avoid having to deal with feedback on how to run a series I have created a helpful google form you can submit to the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQp58mnvZCEi7-NMtthmWoMgxpXC0VrgJKfR9FOyTcdVfKJA/viewform?usp=dialog /ovg/ complaints department]

==How To: Physics Replacement==
You will need [https://assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html Content Manager] and [https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/assetto-corsa-car-tuner.13946/ Assetto Corsa Car Tuner]. [ Necessary files for all classes of car]

If you are a smallbrain and have reading troubles, tes made a video guide [https://youtu.be/JSvmLMtrZ2I here]. It takes literally 10 minutes to make a car, so don't pussy out.

===Steps===
The steps in making a car are simple:
* Download and install a car mod for the car you have found
* Open Assetto Corsa Car Tuner (or do it manually if you know how) and create a new tune which you will add the suffix "byotc" to for your car. '''DONT PUT CAPITAL LETTERS IN THE TUNE NAME IT WILL BREAK'''
* Replace the cars physics with the donor files
* Adjust the cars wheel position to match in Content Manager
* Test your creation works

*Select the '''car''' in Car Tuner, and create a new tune with the "byotc" name. '''DONT PUT CAPITAL LETTERS IN THE TUNE NAME''' If you know how to do this manually go ahead.
*Copy the files from the respective donor car in spec physics zip file '''MINUS THE car.ini''' into the '''car''' folder. Make sure you overwrite.
*This part might be difficult if you really have no idea what you're doing, but go through the car's files and start deleting anything that looks like it'll conflict and/or ruin the Perfect BoP(tm). Make the new car's folder look as similar as possible to the donor physics folder. For example if your car has .lut files referencing it's old tires, those can be deleted. If you need help please just come on mattermost or mumble and ask.

===Specifics===
====car.ini====
* Keep the car.ini of the original car.
* From the donor car.ini, copy over the [BASIC](unsure about GRAPHICS_OFFSET and GRAPHICS_PITCH_ROTATION, test for yourself lol) [CONTROLS], [FUEL], [FUELTANK], [RIDE], [RULES] and [PIT_STOP] categories to your new car. Delete anything old in those categories.
* Leave the [HEADER], [INFO], and [GRAPHICS] categories as is. Delete anything else.

===View the Car in CM Showroom===

* Other minor things can be adjusted with GRAPHICS_OFFSET and GRAPHICS_PITCH_ROTATION in car.ini if necessary.
* Finally, in Content Manager, make the car independent of the original car. That is the one that doesn't have the _sundaycup suffix. You do this by going to Content->The car you made and then to the right of the power curve, under the preview pic, click on "Parent" and then on "Make Independent".
* Zip up the car folder and submit it
===Ok I'm All Done Now What===
*Test your car in game to make sure it actually works correctly.
*Your car's sound might be complete shit, use Content Manager to replace sounds.
*Skin your car if you want. I hope your car came with a template lol.
*Delete all the skins besides the one you want to use.
*Don't pack the data.
*Link the car on the Google doc.

===I Can't Get It To Work In Game Halp===
Just send the car over anyway in the Google doc/ask in the mattermost or mumble, just mention its fucked and someone will look at it and probably help fix it.

== How Do I Connect to the Server? ==
