All you need...​

... is the racing map:

• Download the map here:
  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MYNV7xrnSz6Qu-vRcOfmiOy3BRsT4-lj/view?usp=sharing
  
  
• Once downloaded, copy the map "Raceway.rfa" and navigate to your levels folder. Usually found in:
  C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\Archives\BfVietnam\Levels
  Or
  C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\Archives\BfVietnam\Levels
  
  
• Inside the levels folder, you'll know it's the right one if there are other levels/maps inside such as hastings etc, just paste the Raceway.rfa map inside there and you're done!

How the race works:​

Once we're all on board with every corner and hazard, an Admin will coordinate the race itself. How this will work:

To grab everyone's attention, the admin will pause the server and use the YELLOW ADMIN TEXT to inform all drivers (and co-drivers) to get to their vehicles when the server is un-paused. When this happens please do the following!

• Spawn (or respawn) and grab a vehicle. Do not move it, please stay where it spawned in as it represents a starting line.
  
  
• Once everyone is ready and in their vehicles, the server will be paused - this indicates the race is about to begin.
  Whilst the server is paused at this point, feel free to hold your W (forward movement key for vehicles etc) in and maybe even the turbo (fire button) so you're ready!
  
  
• The admin will then unpause the server, the race has begun and you need to high-tail it!
  
  
• As seen in the video, the finish line lays beyond a huge ramp. Make it to the other side where the Pagoda and Heli-spawn point is and you've won! If you die on the way, you can re-spawn and grab a vehicle to get back into the race!

Winners of the race claim bragging rights by flying the huey and watching the chaos below.

Try out the map!​

The map is running on the event-server from now on. So if you want to practise before the event, you have nearly 3 weeks from now on!

Fantastic!

Very excited to see Jeep racing event happening again. See you all in my rearview mirror ?

 

[Code:[M]ayhem]

This looks like an absolute blast see you there!

 

[x4|Al Gore]

Cannot spawn in either team. Spawned by chance once but then couldn't spawn again.

 

[x4|Al Gore]

Loaded the map locally and it works perfectly.

Cannot spawn in either team. Spawned by chance once but then couldn't spawn again.

Aaah, do you have spawn points on the map?

 

[LTShaun]

Hi Heilig,

No Spawn points for some reason. Bottom left corner looks like a spawn but can't click it.

Tickets also 0???

Do you want me to send you a new map file?

 

[HeiligWahrheit]

That's the bug I remember from the last time. I restart the map, then it's fixed. I occurs, when there was noone online for a long time and the map keeps running.

 

[HeiligWahrheit]

It's fixed guys, thank you! I had to restart the map, it's the same issue like last time.

I'll try to restart it every day, so it keeps on working properly

 

[HeiligWahrheit]

Eyyy!

Reminder of todays racing-event! Join us at 6pm UTC on our BFV event-server!

 

[HeiligWahrheit]

Thank you all who participated! We had a nice little event for around two hours.

@Jum_P has won, as he was the first to reach the "winning-island" as first.
