Full Distance stream another perspective

As the title suggests: is it allowed to stream another perspective when trying to complete Full Distance spreedrun? A friend and myself want to compete but there is no opportunity to meet personally, so we would have to stream each other's view. Is that allowed? Bc the stream doesn't stop but the perspective would. Thanks for any replies And another question: is it allowed to do this speedrun in GP mode or Championship mode only?

The run must be done from the championship menu, as it states in the rules. as for the perspective question, I have no clue. but the reason behind the championship rule is because of dynamic weather. the 1st run that did this could have raced in a full wet race (I didn't fully see the video as it's 40 hours long) and would therefor be unfair if all races were dry.

The thing that makes me unsure about your main question, is the fact that the rules say that you are 'allowed to use any camera perspective.' how this would work with streaming another person's stream, I have no clue. I hope for you either Kw1q or tielqt replies, because I really have no idea aside from the 'GP or Championships?' question

Theoretically, we can still race in Championship mode. The loadingscreen tells you the mode you are in right now. This wouldn't be a problem then, am I correct? And if we do not skip any sequences (e.g. the podium after the race), we should be fine, i think. We could even change Stream while in the Championship menu so that everyone can see that.

what you can do best, I think, is decide together on what car you want to use, make sure that one person has a championship done to, say, 50% of the championship and then you do one half of it and your friend does the other half. so long as you can see that A. it's one segment (no editing) and B. you guys know how to do this, I don't see a problem. then again, I'm no mod either, so I'm not 100% sure

Again, so long as the stream is single-segmented, personally, I don't see a problem

For clarity's sake, "you are allowed to use any camera perspective" means that we are not restricting run submissions based on what camera view you are using ingame. e.g. we won't disqualify anyone who uses chase camera or nose camera views in their run submission, and you are free to use any camera view that the game provides. That rule does not refer to a situation like this.
