Most people that have GPBikes licneces can unlock it flawlessly.

That's not a flaw, that's a marketing plan. Buy a GPBikes license and you get World Racing Series free, or vice versa.

Results updated after round 6

Alright lads,

It's been a very great season, haven't seen one round without at least one battle for position and that's not to mention the three way battle I've seen at round 4 or the Tigers going side by side for about a quarter of a lap in round 1.

So the grids might have been at times small, some might class FJr a failure because of this, but the rounds never went without some action and I'm more then sure that most of the participants have enjoyed it, which makes FJr a total success in my eyes.

I'm fully aware that I've made some mistakes along the way. There is no good reason to deny them but what I can do is apologize for causing them
and make sure that they aren't repeated again.

Now my thoughts about season 3:

Some have complained about the fact that only top 3 get points in the Feature Race. I deemed that appropriate since the race was meant to showcase raw speed more then tire preservation and strategy, thus you'd have to push as hard as you can to get that extra edge in the championship, hence why I thought that rewarding only the top 3 finishers was best.
To prevent such complaints in the future and make the rounds more interesting IMO, FJr might have three sprint races instead of the sprint and feature duo.

The only change that is sure to happen is that of pitting. From season 3 on, pitting shall be banned in FJr since racers might start off with a better downforce setting and then change it midway to a legal amount of degrees.

I shall now give credits to all the people that helped and made this possible:

Zach Weiss -for the superb FJr logo he has designed
Rudi Kolz -for lending FJr a server and helping me with admining in round 1
Timo, Falke,
Dekojester and - for helping me with admining in the remaining rounds
Jatko

And finally: you, the participants -for making this possible and giving me the chance to admin and watch some amazing racing

You can't make a statement regarding game quality just by comparing two games that are totally different and are required to run things of different difficulties. Besides, I don't know from where you've taken those pics or if you've done them yourself, but GTA 4 can look much better then it does in your pics. My copy sure did

Where is the funny in that?

If this allegations are real, which IMO are more then sure of(the IAAF are probably just stalling to better organize themselves for the sock wave), I would think of nothing less then banning South Africa for a defined amount of time because let's be frank, they knew about this, yet they shamelessly denied the accusations and threatened the IAAF, not to mention that sooner or later, they will pull out the racism card (if they didn't already pulled it out).

You can't say they didn't knew because she's almost got a beard and a voice that surely is not feminine. If that alone isn't enough to make you suspicious enough to do tests, then I don't know what will. Nor can you say that they didn't had the technology to test her gender, because even if that may be, this is an international competition. If you can't be on the same level as the other competitors, then IMO you shouldn't be there in the first place.

The record and the medal should be taken away from Caster because ,although technically she didn't cheated, SA did so by letting her represent them.

Results updated after round 5.

Quote from Rocket47 :

After all, this is just a game, don't take this too seriously...

You might not take this seriously, but others do. Even so, I must ask since when did a materialistic value truly define one's importance? The participants have put time, passion and dedication into this league. No one should ruin on purpose the enjoyment of others that are racing in FJr, or any championship for that matter through childish acts of revenge.

As I have said in the protest league, I do not want FJr to be associated with such unsportsmanlike and immature drivers. I still stand by my decision and will not reconsider the punishment. The only right thing that car 53 can do is to apologize to Yann for ruining his race, learn from the incident and never repeat it again.

Quote from racer hero :

If you watch the pedal bars when I was "bumpdrafting" them, I was on the brake, therefore not gaining any advantage, but just trying to stay as close as possible...

That is indeed true on the long straight before T1 after the race has started. After the initial contact with car 67, you moved behind car 888 where you used the brake to not gain any advantage.
I consider the second incident with car 02 though as minor bumpdrafting.

Nevertheless, the penalty you received was mostly for the T1 accident, hence why I said bumpdrafting accusations instead of bumpdrafting incidents

Probably on Monday.

Quote from boothy :

Race, Lap and Timecode of Incident (as reported by LFS): Feature race, lap 9, 9:50
Cars involved: #43 and 73
Description of incident: Cars are alongside each other going through turn 3, whereupon 73 moves left into 43, when he has sufficient track space to his side of the track to go and avoid the extremely unnecessary contact.

In addition, car 73 bumpdrafts on the run down to T1 L1, and at 2:38, and fails to brake when he spins his car in T1 L1, causing more incidents.

Although highly unfortunate, the accident involving car 73 and 43 is a race incident. Car 73 took a middle line after the exit of the chicane while still leaving car 43 an open bend. Judging from the replay, car 43 didn't expected this and began to turn in, also backed up by the fact that car 73 was in it's blind spot at that moment. After the initial contact, lag propelled car 43 to the side.

Regarding the contact between car 73 and 67, respectively 02. It is indeed bumpdrafting, although so minimal that any advantage was hardly gained.

The incident in T1 was not caused by car 73 directly, though failing to brake and making an unsafe recovery which made car 24 and 48 crash amongst others was.

This and the bumpdrafting accusations, land car 73 a 30 second penalty.

!!!Attention!!! Please do not make any reports on car 53. May I say that in the time I've been racing and admining in LFS, I have never seen such immature behavior in a league. Rest assured that car 53 has been permanently banned for the rest of the season. I wish that FJr shall not have anything to do with such drivers anymore now and in the future. Discuss the matter if you want in the post race discussions thread.
