Greetings, truckers!
With Summer break approaching us, it's time to tear up the roads with the return of our official Racing Championship!
Our most competitive TruckersMP event will be making a return in just a few days!
The Racing Championship series sees hundreds of truckers attending, each bringing their experience behind the wheel to reach for the prestigious golden title - Racing Champion.
As well as a lot of high-speed action, we see a lot of spin-outs, crashes, jumps, and drifting throughout our tracks. Sounds exciting? Keep on reading...
For Summer 2020, we will be visiting a variety of American States throughout the weekend, including; Nevada, Arizona and California!
Note: The races will take place across both Saturday 13th June and Sunday 14th June.
You must be available for BOTH dates to enter!
The first day will consist of drag races, with eight players competing in each race. The day will be dedicated to qualifying for the Summer 2020 championship. Here are the requirements and instructions on how to enter:
Please ensure you're familiar with the event rules before participating!
Eight players will be selected from the queue (First come first raced) to compete in a drag race. How many players qualify depends on how many players attend. For example, if 96 players compete, only half will qualify, meaning the fastest 4 of 8 from each race will qualify.
After all of the races are concluded, the fastest 48 players will qualify for the Championship taking place the next day.
The server will remain online throughout the entire weekend (With the exception of a small period after the drag races have concluded to restart the server), and we welcome qualified players to practice on the tracks ready for the Racing Championship on Sunday.
If you didn't qualify, there may still be an opportunity! Should a qualified player not turn up on Sunday, we will randomly select a participant from Saturday, should you be online.
For everyone who qualified for the championship, this will be your big day! There are a lot of unique and challenging tracks prepared, ready for our 48 qualifiers to put their racing skills to the test.
If you qualified, please ensure you are online from 15:30 UTC (the first race starts at 16:00 UTC, and the event is expected to run for up to four hours).
Here's a quick overview of what to expect!
Preparation
The main meetup will be in Show Low city centre. Shortly before the first race begins qualified players and spectators will be teleported to the first track.
There will not be an opportunity to practice on the tracks from hereon.
Round 1
Taking place in the town of Show Low, our 48 qualifiers will be put to the test as they navigate around narrow roads or daring jumps.
Round 2 - Quarter-Final
Only 24 will make it into the quarter-final, each put under a truck-load of stress as they leave the city and take on some high-speed corners!
Round 3 - Semi-Final
Hopefully our 12 semi-finalists can manage to not crash from the awesome distracting view! To make things worse, we added in a few surprises...
Round 4 - Final
At last, the decision for our Racing Champion will be made from the 6 finalists. One wrong move through some of the obstacles and your chance to take the crown will be gone.
The Sunday races will be streamed to the official TruckersMP Youtube channel!
Each Championship qualifier will not leave empty-handed, as you will all receive a unique profile Award!
Make it to the final, and we'll also be awarding you an additional prize!
