This entire event was the most frustrating, chaotic and fulfilling fun I have had in a good while. Looking forward to the next 8th Gear stream. GG to everyone who participated and to the people at 8th Gear. Thank you for this experience.
that 8 class race was unreal! I was the lead premier. At the point of the server death, I was about 20 seconds up the road and I was ahead of every Huntley and was fighting with the fringes of the top 10 in the Monroe class. Please run this race again it was one of the best races that I have ever taken part in
Completely forgot about and completing this game, honestly it was one of the most fun racing experiences on a game I've had looking back on your mention, having to get to certain city in the top 50
As one of the Prairies (purposely didn't do a qualifying lap), it was very fun! The Prairie, Premier and Huntley all ended up being very similar in terms of speed so it was effectively a 60+ car race for us. The only downside was that half of the FMJ GTE drivers would pretend slower classes weren't there, and plow them off the track. So a whitelist would certainly help. Would love to do this monthly :)
The most interesting part to me, is seeing the comparison of amateur racers side by side with professionals. It really emphasizes the different lines people choose, good and bad, as well as navigating traffic. I wish we'd gotten to see those other laps.

That poor Prairie who just got buzzed by 3 Banshees and a Zentorno down a straight... He was just doing his Prairie thing, living his best Prairie life, and then you get absolutely swamped. Must be terrifying.
This reminds me of us doing a multi raid in WoW back in 2008/2009 when WotLk Prepatch was released and we tried to fight the buffed city bosses. We were 540 people and after the first boss while going to the second the server crashed. But these stresstests open possibilities for future projects. Same here. Watching these is so entertaining. I would love to see GFreds and Canonballs with that many player!
it was fun racing in here! I had a farely clean first half and was struggling with being taken out a lot on the second half wich is why you caught on me a lot. Cant wait for the next time c:
The amount of people spinning themselves out on terrain/track walls is truly shocking. I expected it would happen a lot; but holy hell was it constant.
An open event like this would be perfect to use that one track that stitches your tracks together, could spread people out all over the map and also have like 2 classes start on each track
These were fun races, nice to be part of history, LOL. In both races you were never racing alone, there was always someone with you passing you or being overtaken, it was surreal for GTA.
Does anyone else just love it when your favorite creator just blue balls you with a long video, only to cut half of it out, because I do. Kappa in case some of you couldn't tell this was a joke comment. On a serious note though, this is downright amazing, and regardless of the carnage I'm going to look up the full VOD on Twitch. I just hope that one day us simple folk stuck on console will be able to experience something close to this on vanilla
Ooooooooh! That was a bummer to see such a really fun race cut in half 😢 A marker or a timestamp would have been nice for those who would have enjoyed the whole race. Great video though!! Will love to see more 8th Gear!!
I watched the stream, and what's impressed me the most is how well behaved og patient everyone was. Now, imagine Mr.Toss and his "crew" trying something similar. Hats off to you Broughy! 🎩
Watching this was extremely infuriating, honestly. As fun as those events could be, they always have a few asshats who just crash and wreck people out. As a former racer, the first race was unbearable...
I... Uh... What's the name of that airport x-jump route? And how chaotic would 50 players be on it? Anyone else wondering that? Just me? Just imagine a short random race on that with that many people.
Uh, that many people on a short track like that would mean that some people would be two laps back right from the getgo thanks to their grid position...
I'd say a big factor the GT3s were more competitive against GT2s was due to the fact it's far eaiser to get the most from the Banshee since it's straight line speed as it's strong suit, where as the zentorno needs to utilize cornering and grip as it's strong suit. This being said, with a lot of cars needing to be overtaken, easier to utilize the straightline speed as effective as possible over the cornering/grip
I hope GTA 6 doesnt have any race exploits, like break boosting, curb boosting and all that. The top winners are basically people who know all the glitches the most lol.
2048 player cap, with how much caos this already had I can see so many traffic jams caused by even just 1000 people, can wait to see it in the future lol
I know it’s open lobby but Jesus where did these people learn to race? That Yake fellow is the definition of online driving opponents. Crash out anyone who tries to pass
I agree with DINmiTe. The lag was probably extra bad, but I don't think it was smart letting the "Broughyplow" get a fast car for the second race. I would've just blacklisted them for the second race, but I am way too authoritarian in my thinking.
I can see GTA 6 allowing for 100 player sessions (seems to be a popular number for battle royal games etc.), but I’d be surprised to see much more than that
Even with maybe dropping down the player count abit (for stability reasons) I'd love to see more multi class racing like this. Say 140 drivers split into 7 20 car groups.
