Admin verdict:
DT for #14 for unsafe overtaking. #14 went wide while braking tapping #42 and causing both cars to spin.
Acknowledged, awaiting replay for review purposes.
Op is updated with results and replays. Official grid will be announced later today/morning for the EU participants.
Looks nice Michael!
Awesome work Josh and companions. It's great to have that much information available at one point, which is easily accessible.
I think you misunderstand me, as your remark is precisely what I was talking about.
Ergo, we ask of those interested to make a skin for the SC for the upcoming 24h race.
1. The SC models are the FZ5 and the VWS, with the exception that the VWS may not been released yet.
2. A contestant can submit a skin for the FZ5, the VWS or both. If submitted for both, there is no need for a 1-1 skin copy for each model.
3. Contestants are completely free how to create their design, with the exception that the MoE logo has to be present as part of the skin.
To resolve the issue regarding what car to use, we ask of you to make the decision for what of the two cars you would make the skin: FZ5/VWS or perhaps you want to make a skin for both.
Regardless if the VWS is released before the event, we base our decision upon the creativity, uniqueness and fit for the Masters of Endurance league, rather than either type of car.

Let's hope you guys will be back in future.
Correct and yes, he surely makes awesome logos.
I see your point. For clarity reasons it will be added to the OP.
Obvious (aka common sense) the first part would be part of the communication with the potential winner, but thanks for pointing that out here as well.
Justin is busy with IRL responsibilities, so no firm date can be given for the release of the official 24h logo.

Thanks, any other interesting changes coming up?

6 Hours of Westhill International: Final Results
Final results
These are the final protest/penalties which will be taken into consideration for the results. The first two incidents are related to unsafe track reentry during the race, the third one was the only pending protest.
Incident #1: #38 Sonicrealism spins off in T4
This incident happened at timecode 1:24:25. The #38 car places the left rear wheel onto the grass on the approach to turn 4. Before the car comes to a halt in the gravel the driver has already found reverse gear and is driving back towards the track. Realizing there are cars coming he reverses until his rear tyres are safely on the grass and stops the car on the grass (i.e. he is aware at this point not to re-enter the track). Two cars go past (#34 and #17). Immediately #38 then tries to re-enter the track, however car #15 is now approaching. #38 misjudges the distance to the car behind when he finally does decide to back onto the track, and complicates things by stopping too early, on the racing line. The result is that #01 and #40 both have to go off track in order to prevent a major accident.
Also in this event #40 receives an official warning for not obeying the Yellow flag clearly enough as they overtook #01 with contact.
Final verdict
#38 - 2 Laps deducted from race total for unsafe track reentry. Although #38 waited to return to the track, #38 returned to the very middle of the racing line and stopped, and in doing so endangered the upcoming traffic.
#40 - warning for not respecting yellow flags, suspended 1 lap penalty to be applied if they ignore the yellow flag in another similar incident
Incident #2: #18 spins off in the chicane(T7-8)
This incident happened at timecode 3:50:40. The #18 car misses its turn in point and understeers into the tyres at the fast chicane. The driver does not apply the brakes before or after making contact with the outside wall, aside from getting out of the throttle. The car bounces off the wall and starts rolling backward. At this point the driver steers the car toward the track and even puts the car in reverse gear. This is a car that could have easily been stopped before re-entering the track at all, had the brakes been applied. The result is #18 rolling back on track and causes massive damage to the #06 and nearly takes out several other cars.
Final verdict
#18 - 2 lap deducted from race total for unsafe track re-entry causing an avoidable collision. They could have stopped the car on the grass if they had applied the brakes but decided not to, and as so caused an avoidable accident by steering back on track while the track was not clear.
Incident #3: #35 protests #09
#09 - DT/+30s penalty for causing an avoidable accident.

Wow, I even got the chills watching that movie (I did just got in from being outside in freezing temperatures tho :P), but I like it a lot!
Acknowledged, please provide replay asap. Ruling will take place after the race.
OP is updated with the skinpack for the upcoming westhill race. All credit to the very talented Justin Ziarko, for yet another amazing logo!
MoE and altering Live for Speed's functionality
Masters of Endurance utilizes Live for Speed to host and execute its schedule. As such, all competitors make use of Live for Speed and the functionality it offers. This functionality is equal for all competitors. In addition, Masters of Endurance heavily relies on the sportsmanship of its competitors. The use of an exploit or cheat (in this case to gain an unfair advantage over the fellow competitors), or the use of an external program which has an direct influence to the functionality of Live for Speed, is therefore a direct affront to the core principles of the Masters of Endurance and an insult to all of the Masters of Endurance competitors: it is a breach of the spirit of the league.
Any actions taken against the core principles of the league will be dealt with in harsh terms.
After carefully considering the facts related to Sasa Pasic (Scipy)'s exploit/cheat we, the MoE admins, have come to the following conclusion. Based on the evidence provided, the following actions will be taken:
Any information posted regarding the nature of this exploit/cheat will be removed.
Finally, we would like to caution against abusing Sasa for his error in judgment. While we find his behavior reprehensible, in the end he confessed to using the exploit, and this honesty has resulted in a seasonal rather than a lifetime ban.
Any actions taken against the core principles of the league will be dealt with in harsh terms.
After carefully considering the facts related to Sasa Pasic (Scipy)'s exploit/cheat we, the MoE admins, have come to the following conclusion. Based on the evidence provided, the following actions will be taken:
- Sasa will be banned from participating for the remainder of MoE season 2008/2009. After this season his status will be carefully evaluated for future participation.
- All of Sasa's driven laps in race 1, The 12 Hours of Kyoto Grand Prix Long, will be removed from Mercury Racing Team GT1's total lap count. They will be scored accordingly and their season points will be adjusted to reflect their new position.
- As regards the South City race, no evidence has been found to indicate that Sasa used his exploit in that case.
Any information posted regarding the nature of this exploit/cheat will be removed.
Finally, we would like to caution against abusing Sasa for his error in judgment. While we find his behavior reprehensible, in the end he confessed to using the exploit, and this honesty has resulted in a seasonal rather than a lifetime ban.
