After shift+s you are allowed to continue, or not? (and will you be given a +1 lap penalty or...?
TBH i prefer to be on the bottom, or are you referring to something else?

Again not completely surprised - guess i hang out too much on Vent with you guys to be surprised :P - but congratulations CoRe and CWmax!
BTW as a reply to the current standings (7/3/07):
Multiclass percentages needs to be combined (restricted 23.94% & FWD 35.21% = 59.15%) vs the one car class 40.85%. Then the second step would be to look at the multiclass and its given options , for each percentage has been given.

I voted for a two class mGTR (FWD) & GTR grid.
Motivation:
The handling of the restricted GTR's will be close to similar to the GT1. The positive side of this, is that the cornering speed and approach of these cars is (close to) equal to the GT1 class, which, theoretically, should lead to saver take overs (only on the straights for instance). The negative side is that the actual class differences between the GT1 and GT2 class would be very small and not really be experienced as a 'second class' but more as overtaking backmarkers (in the same class). There are more comparisons to make with regard to this matter, see the other people who posted - pro's and con's, so I'll go straight to my main point:
In additional to the comparison explained above, I think the LFS GT already has proven that the combination of the FWD and GTR's is very entertaining: the different used cars, each with their own unique handling, have proven to be a good combination of different classes and still being able for competition in each class, without being in each others way all the time.
Building forth on what is started with the integration of LFS GT using the FWD would be most logical (imo). In addition you could even have MoE running with mGTR's and LFS GT running with a two classes of GTRs: 1 normal, 1 horsepower restricted. By doing so you remain with MoE as being a pro-competition with a proven concept (thus no surprises) and use LFS GT as your platform to grow potential interests for MoE and testing purposes.
I personally would use the option of weight penalties to increase the competition: for instance give the top3 weight penalties, but ok, that discussion is outside this specific thread.

Sorry to hear ant.
I hope you come back when you do find the money and time to be active again! Good to see LFS hasn't lost you completely yet!
Good luck with NASSA!

Border as in racing abroad :P and not NA only
Lee, isn't it your birthday soon? Grandpa :P Get used to those brain farts since they will occur more often when you get older.
O btw, this time you can't blame it on my accent ;P
Concratualtions Brian and CoRe! This was a total suprise....NOT! :P
Good to see you guys are (finally?) stepping over the border and expend your activities!

It wasn't that bad in DTM Tomy; the majority of those crashes were due people incapable of dealing with that chicane. Modifying the chicane is a no-go (IMO).
The room is too limited to actual make modifications and the tires give you at least the possibility to go through the chicane with two cars - which actually happens.
Crashing in that chicane has more to do with being a unprepared racer, rather than fairness.
No problem 
It's clearly described in the rules.
The post serves more as a notification. A video may be provided later.

I presume these are the latest rules?
On a second note: you get pushed out of the sand. Is it allowed to send a message stating: Stuck in sand (or some equal) or do you have to wait in the hope a marshall will notice it?

[wiseassmode]Shift+P is allowed? [/wiseassmode] ;P
What happens if one is stuck in the sand? (stating this as a XRR driver). Will you get pushed out of the sand or?
Congratulations FPR
Gai-Luron first of all thank you for your work.
Secondly your download link appears to be not working anymore.

I have manually actived all accounts at pretty much the same day people signed up. The mailserver ain't working, hardly ever worked unfortunately.
Only no one's there :P
Funny.
First of all I'm Dutch who just happen to life in the US (for 8 months now) so that's one of the zillion arguments why your comparison makes no point at all. Besides what has being clever to do with staying consistent and thus being integer as an organizer. Perhaps the organization should try to get their head out of the asses who they tend to please, and start dealing with that what is important; being consequent, consistent and integer, as is well written by BenjiMC in his post. I'd like to see a reply of the organization to this post.
Secondly, your argument about "teams want to drive same settings as they qualified" makes no sense at all, otherwise there wouldn't be so much responses of different teams stating that they don't agree with this sudden change of rules.
Third, could one of the organizer tell me what the goal was to start this event? From what I recall it's an free for all event, so not only those you please, and as a result I - and I guess I speak for all the others too - expect the organization to act unprejudiced and with respect towards each participant.
Finally, PudelHH, I thank you for proving my point, since once again your post is a clear example of a none constructive post to solve anything.

I totally agree with BenjiMC. As an organizer the most important thing is being consistent. Not being consistent leads to a questionable integrity which eventually will demolish all the hard work you guys have put in setting up this event.
That also counts for the tone in certain posts of the organization which are basically lack any respect. You may get annoyed, but at least, especially as the organization, keep the responds professional and in a respectful manner.
Goodnight, hopefully the level of discussion will rise again as I have not seen 1 single well-argumented post from you.
