Winners Wednesday February 2019 (RDW 235)

Raceday Wednesday has 4 winners each week. Those 4 winners will enter WINNERS WEDNESDAY at the end of the month to compete against the winning races of the other Raceday Wednesdays of the respective month.

Rules:

As these races have all won a previous event already it would be redundant to list all of the rules again. Here are some of the most important ones again:

- The host may not change any settings except for turning catchup and slipstream off, so make sure your default settings are optimal for your race
- No owned weapons in GTA races! Only use the rocket and speed boost pick ups!
– No party chat; please use game chat only as this is a closed crew event!

Winners Wednesday Format:

1 playlist containing all the winning races of that respective month. These races will be hosted by stone_xo at 8:00 pm GMT/BST
A US rerun will be hosted at 01:00 am GMT/BST (8 pm EST) by PurpleHaze for US timezone folks.

Raceday Wednesday Voting Policy:

Vote for your 4 favourite jobs!
You MAY vote for your own job, but honesty is highly encouraged. Having an objective view may be hard when you are emotionally invested but please be fair and treat your race as if it were a creation of somebody else!
Also I recommend writing a short review/remark about your top 4 pics, especially if you’re voting for your own race to get first place.

ALL VOTES WILL BE MADE ON THIS SITE. They will be made on that particular weeks topic.

Every attendee votes for their top 4 picks.

Votes will be counted as follows:

1st pick = 5 Points

2nd pick = 4 Points

3rd pick = 3 Points

4th pick = 2 Points

Some additional points to consider when casting your vote:

We highly appreciate a more in depth approach when it comes to voting.
Most people would simply vote for the races which they percieved as being the most "fun". Please be aware that the "fun factor" is very subjective. Also there are a lot of random factors that can influence your experience when playing a race.

Voting on subjective factors:

- You did very good in a race and got first place. This can then subconsciously alter your perception of how "fun" the race was. If played on another night you might have had "bricking" issues due to large lobby issues. In that case you would have probably not have had the same amount of fun playing it.

Confirmation Bias:

- You have certain expectancies and/or biases towards certain types of races or certain creators. Going into the race with a predetermined expectancy (positive or negative) greatly increases the chance of you subconsciously validating your bias. It then becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. You will see the race for what you want it to be and not for what it (objectively) is. This phenomenon is often observed when people vote for their friends races or when people neglect top builds because they personally don't like the creator.
Of course it it impossible to be 100% objective but at the same time please be aware of how many subjective factors play into your decision subconsciously. Try to be aware of these and eliminate them as best as possible.

Here are some of the factors that I consider when I vote for races:

- build quality
- difficulty of a build
- attention paid to detail
- idea
- execution of the idea
- originality
- flow of the race
- checkpoint placement
- use of the area
- Other (eg Job Pic, atmosphere, etc)
- on stunt races (good entry and exit? or just randomly placed at airport or beach)
