The Italian Job

The basic idea: Three drivers (sporting Mini’s) have stolen cold, hard cash from a Horizon Hub in Italy, and must move it to Sisteron. Cops try to stop them. If any Mini’s make it within 20 minutes, that/those drivers win.

The rules: Everyone will upgrade a 2012 Mini Cooper Works GP and a police vehicle listed later to a max of A800. This should be done beforehand so that nobody has to wait for you once the lobby has opened. The police vehicles were chosen to be heavier, yet faster offroad or in a straight line. The Mini should be more nimble. Three drivers will be selected to be on the Mini team. The rest will play as police.

Everyone will play on Simulation Damage, and resets are not allowed until the next round. The Mini team will disable their maps, but are encouraged to use a driving line.

Once the teams are setup, the police will position themselves IN ITALY, wherever they want, so long as they are at least one mile away from the Montellino Hub and Castelletto Hub. The Mini team will join their own party chat, and are free to study the map at this point. This team will decide on one of two Horizon Hubs to teleport to: Montellino or Castelletto. ALL MINIS MUST TELEPORT TO THE SAME HUB. Once the team teleports, the game is on.

The Minis will race to the Sisteron Hub. It is recommended that they set individual GPS waypoints especially since their maps should be disabled. The police will attempt to stop them however they can, but “puppy guarding” the Sisteron Hub is not allowed.

The cars (all up to A800). THE MINI IS THE ONLY VEHICLE ALLOWED DRIVETRAIN, MOTOR, OR ASPIRATION SWAPS. (In the movies, these were heavily modified, one purpose vehicles: to move gold and evade police.) ALL POLICE VEHICLES SHOULD BE OBVIOUSLY MARKED, no blacked out or unmarked cop cars.
