How to Configure Race Settings on Your MX Bikes Server

The Race tab controls the complete event flow on your MX Bikes server, allowing administrators to customize practice sessions, qualifying rounds, race lengths, warmups, pauses, and event saves. These settings are essential for creating anything from casual quick races to full competitive championship structures. This guide explains every option available inside the Race section using the GGServers panel.

Race session settings affect the server event structure and should be modified while the server is offline. Open your GGServers Control Panel, select your MX Bikes server, and click the Stop button. Wait until the server status changes to Offline.

Step 2: Access Server Settings

After the server goes offline, locate the left-side navigation menu and scroll to the Advanced section. Click Server Settings.
