Hello racers!

The Master Race car team is pleased to present you a brand new event, which will bring a unique racing experience into LFS. Strongly inspired by the FIA Formula E championship, we created an event, where the strategy and clever use of available resources will play a big factor on your way to victory.

While the letter E in "Formula E" stands for "Electric", here it stands for "Endurance" and "Efficiency" - you will need these a lot just to finish this race, let alone winning it! After all, the refuelling is forbidden and the 100% of fuel your car can carry definitely isn't enough to make it to the finish line. Or is it? Even worse, you're put on a tight and twisty street circuit with no room for error, where even the smallest mistake can end in disaster.
Can you prove you can perform well in these difficult conditions?

Date: 12th December
Track: New York E-Prix circuit replica (see https://www.lfs.net/forum/thre ... rk-E-Prix-circuit-replica)
Car: FOX (no restrictions)
Laps: 100

Schedule:
Prequalifying session (if necessary)
15:30 UTC / 16:30 CET Official free practice session (20 minutes)
16:00 UTC / 17:00 CET Official qualifying session (1 hotlap)
16:40 UTC / 17:40 CET Official Super-pole shoot-out session (top 6 from qualifying compete for the top 6 grid spots in another separate session (1 hotlap))
17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET Official race start (100 laps; standing start)

General rules:
SC and VSC active
1 mandatory pitstop, which cannot be performed under SC or VSC
Refueling NOT ALLOWED (any attempt to refuel will result in immediate disqualification from the event)

Full set of rules will follow soon, stay tuned!

Quote from Scawen : Racon says he is using the latest test patch. I guess it's not related to the test patch, because it has been going fine since April without any problem. But to confirm that, are any of you getting the same fault with the official version?

I confirm the same problem on the latest official version of LFS.
But it might be difficult to recreate, it seems to happen randomly.

Quote from Scawen : One last question, do you think it would be worth disabling skin downloads while we figure this out? If the bug often prevents people joining servers, that is worse than not seeing skins.

It is an option, however some way of skipping the download of affected skin would be the best if it is doable in some way

Quote from Sobis :Seeing that you can get 500 points in theory, doesn't extra points (+1) seem totally insignificant for fastest lap, climber, etc? These are not that easy to achieve to be worth only 1 point IMO.

Are you trying to say, that they are "pointless"? Looking

Quote from False hope :Would you really admit that having to play more or less the same game for such a long time is enjoyable, or do you have to take breaks to find it re-playable?

Well, racing games in general are probably the most repetetive gaming genre out there. Going in circles over and over again, for tens or even hundreds of the same laps. Then go in different circles maybe with different car, but the idea stays the same. But unlike some story-based RPG games, the replayability is huge.
There's pretty much no joy in playing some Assassin's Creed title for the third time, you already know the story and the environment is already explored, so there's not much meaningful to do. Meanwhile in the racing sim you can jump in and try to beat your old PB or other racers who are just driving around. Even 2 races at same combo will turn out completely differently.

Racing sims naturally don't have any specific goal or other natural limit and you are free to do what you want to do, that's where the long replayability comes from. Guys who you speak to at this forum have circled the world multiple times while still being entertained and motivated to keep driving.

Quote from cougar8 :Round (1, 2, 3 or 4): 3
Session of Incident (Qualifying*, Race): Race
Car number(s): 47
incident: into turn 3 on lap 1 Michael turned in and spun me off the track causing me to go into the gravel and the back of the grid for out class. Could have been avoided.

Involved driver here - I take full responsibility for this collision, lost concentration after the mayhem in first two turns and became unaware of the car on the inside. Completely my fault.

Since we havent seen anything from Fern Bay, Id say there is at least extra 6 months before the update gets released.
Maybe a Christmas present? (just giving ideas)
Cannot wait!

Who cares about their opinions... Especially when they dont understand what racing is about.

I will rather watch bunch of cars going in circles for 24 hours than lets says a few minutes of FIFA gameplay.
