MCEC

The Multi-Class Endurance Championship is a huge serious racing event in GTA Online modelled on races like Le Mans and championships like the WEC, spanning 5 seasons over 6 years. With some incredible racing and tight championship battles, these videos are some of the best on my channel.

Season One

It all began with such simple thoughts - a group of racing enthusiasts enjoying a great format. Debuting on PS3 & 360, nobody could have imagined what it would become.

Season Two

Things got more serious for season two as it expanded to 10 rounds with in depth video reviews and cameramen. Separate events were held on other platforms at various stages too.

Season Three

Season three was the first time the championship was held on all three then current gen platforms simultaneously, which stretched things to breaking point as I raced on all of them.

Season Four

Now fully in its stride, season four allowed the MCEC to experiment a little more in order to improve the show with pit stops and more track variety on different platforms.

Season Five

The final season of the MCEC on GTA 5 was a swansong to the championship and wrapped things up perfectly, incorporating all the best parts of the first four seasons.

Track Links

Apart from some community tracks during the fourth and fifth seasons, most MCEC races have been held on my own five main circuits with Los Santos GP and The North Loop featuring in all five seasons. You can get links to the tracks by clicking the button below.

Spotters Guides

For Season 4 community member MarkVerstappen made spotters guides so those watching live could easily identify which teams were racing and who was driving each car. This was formalised for Season 5 with help from PhilHoff which had guides for every round and platform. These can all be seen on the page linked below.

Extra Videos

During Season 3 the PC community took it upon themselves to make the traditional “pre-race shenanigans” hit an entirely new level with role-play aspects. For Season 5 full live stream replays of every round were uploaded as separate videos for future enjoyment. Both of these extra MCEC series can be found with the links below.

Season 0/Test Events

Before the championship was formed for Season 1, I ran some one-off race events to test the multi-class format on Xbox 360 and PS3. The first of these was on The North Loop with two classes, with the second being on Los Santos GP with three classes. These would inform decisions for Season 1 of the championship.

Secondary Championships

Due to the increasing number of people wanting to participate in the MCEC each year, from Season 3 onwards secondary championships were held with a smaller number of rounds and only two classes (GT4 and GT5). PS4 had the first secondary championship in Season 3, with one running for Season 4 on PC as well. Season 5 was the first time there were enough drivers across the board to run secondary championships on all three platforms, and the details of all of them, including results, can be seen on the links below.

Historical Records

While there are spreadsheets and results tables for each season individually, there’s also a collated spreadsheet with statistics and records across all seasons. This shows at a glance how many races and championships have been won and participated in by all drivers and teams.

MCEC Celebrations
