We're currently processing a violation of the rules which occured during South City. The OP will be updated with the correct results shortly.

Quote from three_jump :As far as I remember there was never a 1 lap penalty when you get kicked from the server (which is penalty enough in my eyes)

Correct. Only SHIFT+P/S or intentional disconnects while an other team member (or a quick reconnect of the same driver) is exiting the pits will be penalized with a + 1 lap (The latter case will most likely be penalized a lot harder, but that scenario has never happened until now).

Quote from BenjiMC :Niki wasn't in the driver line-up, he may be in the team but he wasn't in THE team when he talked so i dont think thats completely a fair penalty.

If he was not in the driver line-up, he should not have joined the server. Especially not when the race is not over.

Due to the severity of this incident, this protest will be dealt with after the race.

Quote from banshee56 :Protest against: 18 - Marcel Opfer (GT1)

Lap 56, three turns past Sector 2 split

I gave him the inside to pass. He went the inside, and then abruptly moved to the right, tagging my LR, sending me spinning into the left wall. Sustained left side control arm damage to both left side tires.

replay: http://www.mediafire.com/?6ldycilw1lm

The 18 car made avoidable contact while 29 left room on the left side. This resulted in a spin for 29 that cost them considerable time. Car 18 will be assessed a DT penalty for this infraction.

Read the rules, Ben, read the rules:
'Teams can run an unlimited amount of laps during these sessions, but may only have one car on the track at all times.The fastest lap of the team counts for the starting positions.'

Ergo, it is allowed to have multiple drivers qualify, as long as both cars are not simultaniously on the track.

Quote from Kid222 :I'm sorry to say but CeRT will have to sign off because of drivers issue.
Also we're planning to start in MoE in GT2, if there will be free spot for us.
Thanks.

What makes you think you'll be able to participate in MoE GT2 if at the moment you don't have enough drivers to race for LFS GT?

Your explanation does not give me the impression you guys are able to fulfill the necessary manpower needed to participate in MoE.

Nice BD and welcome Ihab Abbas.

Currently there is still room for 4 racers at StreetStock cup (28 racers total now) and room for 13 racers for the BF1 sprintrace (19 racers in total now).

Currently the StreetStock Cup has 20 racers and the BF1 Sprint series has 17 racers.

With a maxium of 32 racers per series, there is still room for you, so sign up! http://www.lfs-lota.net/

I'll try and arrange something within F1RST. Most likely a variable person will be able to help out.

I partly disagree. I just think its 2 ways:
1. No teams are allowed on the same channel
2. All teams are allowed on the same channel. In this case the team leaders will be muted, to prevent unnecessary discussions. This way does give each team the opportunity to have real time info.

Note (1) that discussions are ought to be dealt with afterwards through a clearly defined procedure for protests (I've PM-ed DWB a suggestion for that on AIM).
Note (2) the key of this discussion is no teams or all teams, not some teams.

Quote from nmanley :
The facts as Appie stated on our forum do not support the reasoning for a safety car.

Not sure what 'facts' you're talking about. I merely gave a description about what happened, which is nothing different from what is stated here by Benji en DWB: I saw Bigtime getting a flat in T1, I notified Benji, Benji made the call to send out the SC and there I went.
What I see here is a discussion about the reasoning of sending out the SC (which Benji described here) and has nothing to do with my description of how it went.

Please refrain from altering my words or putting them in a different context as a support for any conspiracy making. If I have something to say, I'll say it myself. Thank you.

I would not have to add the latter, but apparently you guys removed my access to that topic so I cannot clarify things myself but instead you guys are placing my description in wrong context on a public forum. I personally did not expect this from a team with older guys...

Quote from nmanley : The safety car causes to much problems in real races with finishing orders but they are a necessary thing when peoples lives are at stake. We race a damn simulator. NO SAFETY CAR NEEDED!

From what I have understand the goal of this league was to get as close to reality as possible.

Where did CoRe.starry go? I miss his mini (UFR) (must be due to his English roots).

Congratulations guys!

Coming from Europe and thus being able to compare, this platform (LOTA is more than just a league) is certainly one of the best well organized platforms I've been working with and a great meeting place for all LFS fans (both starters and experienced racers).

Simple, your onboard graphic card is just too slow (and limited) to actually play games with. Your current fps is for ~99% based on your cpu. Overclocking of your graphic card may make a (small) difference, but generally spoken: that graphic card is unable to deal with games.

O btw about the cpu usage: LFS is a single thread game and thus only uses 1 core. Basically it is using 1 core for 100% and the other core for ~0% (depending on other processes running).

Quote from banshee56 :All of our racing happens on LOTA League Server 1, and also on LOTA League Server 2 if a series has enough drivers, like our current Grand Touring Cup.

And Banshee does not only see my rear bumper on the track, but also on the forums!

Quote from Toddshooter :Is the server named LOTA? I don't think I've seen it before. Texas is on Central time right?
