config for first week is GTR@Westhill International

[SCCC] Daily Enduro Fun
Lola Popeye
S2 licensed
Hey guys, inspired by a post on the forums, we at SCCC decided to run some fun enduro races for the community, many of you dont have time to race in leagues, maybe no fast enough, or simply not interested, so this is a great way to have a longish race, utlising the strategy features of S2 (tyrewear, fuel and pitting) without the pressure!

This is currently a work in progress, so we will be working something out, but here are some initial details:

Each week, the community chooses 1 config, and for that week, everyday at the same time and admin comes in, restarts the race (well if there is a race going on already and almost finished, im sure we can wait) and sets up a 10 minute qualify session, followed by a race that is around 1 hour long. Pitstop is compulsory!

Usually what happens is somebody gets so excited about an idea, works hard and then slowly lose interest, so this is why i want to make it as 'maintenance' free as possible for the SCCC team (dont get the impression that we are a lazy bunch, who drink beer and watch TV all day......). So to summarise:

Car: Chosen by the community each week
Track: Chosen by the community each week
Time: Everyday of the week (maybe with exceptions due to other Server Commitments), the time will be decided (you guys can suggest a time you can be available)
Laps: 60 minutes/LFSworld Benchmark times - so total race time is around 1 hour
Pit: Yes
Midrace join: No
Slots: 15 drivers (could change later on)

Procedure:

The SCCC server will run as usual throughout the day, at around the time of the race, perhaps 10 minutes before, an SCCC admin will come in, and setup the race. At race time, he will then restart the server and a 10 minute qualifying session will begin, followed by a 5 minute break, to get your setups/fuel ready. And then the race itself will follow. We will see if we can organise a SCCC member to be present throughout the race to keep watch, but there will be no guarantees, as we have other duties to fulfill. But i trust that most people who will be reading this post are up for some close racing and not wreckers.

At the end of each race, if you wish you can save a replay, and then send it to my email, and we will be happy to generate race statistics and post it on our SCCC website - www.sccabco.com

So thats the basic idea, any of you guys have suggestions? Or have a config you are interested in doing, or maybe the most suitable time (due to the server being in Europe, we will obviously be looking for a time that suits europeans). What about 21GMT?

i think we can set the [SCCC] Server to something like that everyday...

the point of this is to entertain the non-racing guys, if u have 30 people chatting on 1 server, it might become laggy for the drivers

what most new people seem to do is brake too early, and slow down too much, and then accelerate and understeer off into the wall

maybe we can create a Official LFS Leagues site, where admins of each league can post information on results etc, and then we can kinda build a 'career' profile for each driver...and etc etc - like in real world racing

hey, like always ive been trying to introduce LFS to new guys, but it just takes so bloody long to explain everything, and i usually ends up with something like this:

Power is nothing without control | Youre not really driving unless youve got some wheels spinning every so often says:
nice
Power is nothing without control | Youre not really driving unless youve got some wheels spinning every so often says:
u have a ps2?
๑۩۞۩๑ Chensta - DOOOOOM - no plot needed says:
nah
Power is nothing without control | Youre not really driving unless youve got some wheels spinning every so often says:

๑۩۞۩๑ Chensta - DOOOOOM - no plot needed says:

Power is nothing without control | Youre not really driving unless youve got some wheels spinning every so often says:
bullshit
Power is nothing without control | Youre not really driving unless youve got some wheels spinning every so often says:

๑۩۞۩๑ Chensta - DOOOOOM - no plot needed says:
seriously, just try this game

(then followed by a 10minute explanation about the physics and game community)

so is there a way to show sumbody what LFS is all about real quick
LFS IRC Race Commentary
Lola Popeye
S2 licensed
Hey guys, i just got an idea,

There are so many league races nowdays, and its great, and it is always fun to read the race reports after. But wouldnt real-time live reports be better? LFS has support for 23 slots, inlcuding 3 spectators, im sure that wasnt just a miscalulation by the Dev's...they must be there for a purpose! So maybe we can gather a group of talkalot spambots who just...cant stop talking and stick them in the 3 spec slots, and watch the race, and do updates on the IRC. Yes i know there is LFS Spectator, and that does a great job, actually there is nothing stopping you from using this here, i often use it to spec my teammates in the leagues, but i think it'll be soo much more fun doing it with a group of others, and make witty comments about incidents, or perhaps some taunting and bashing here and there!

Anyway i created a channel called #lfsracing on gamesurge (same server as LFS official channel)

What you guys think? and anybody want to nominate some talkative peeps?

"We would very much like to include LfS in our offers for leagues and teams."

i guess that covers it, not all rules r meant to be followed, some are just there as a 'guideline'.

FILSCA - Interesting stuff
Lola Popeye
S2 licensed
hey i just found this site - http://www.filsca.com/ i think these guys are trying to simulate real life racing from the simulation, ie - career stats of drivers (not just online stats, but actual big event, league wins), but yea it looks pretty interesting, but unfortunately LFS isnt featured on it. I am pretty sure many will agree with me that LFS has a way better online community and racing, as well as being a better simulation in general than some of the games.

maybe we can do something for LFS? - http://www.filsca.com/1000253/816
