Quote from zeugnimod :Who said what about chase cam?

I don't know which one it was, but they were talking about the DuPont skinned car. They were saying things like "why would anyone use the chase cam" etc. Sounded like they were making fun of the guy for choosing chase cam. Didn't like that very much, personally.

Quote from [SWE]RE :All I see is the fragmaster logo for 23 seconds, after that it repeats itself over and over again.

I had that problem when opening the stream via clicking on the link, but if you "Open URL" from the WMP menu and enter that addy, it works fine.

Broadcast works fine, but not very professional commentary IMHO.

Talking about land seals, criticizing and mocking a driver's choice of driver view (chase cam), one commentator correcting another and making him look stupid, race marshals coming on voice comms asking what they should be doing during the race, talking about whether LFS users (or the commentators) have real lives or not, useless babble back and forth, etc etc.

Oh yeah, and the track conditions say pits closed and red flag during qual. What's that about??

I see you've made the move to a new website address. Good for you. I've only watched one event, but have heard a lot about it from BigTime and Kaw. I hope to see this very unique series continue to grow and be a viable racing league for many seasons to come.

As I've mentioned to you via PM and through BigTime, CoRe Racing would like to offer server resources for the next full season to come.

Good luck and keep on racing!

Yeah, was on last night practicing for a LOTA race and none of the PB's were being recorded, even though the website was still up. It's like the master server is running OK, but LFS World's connection to the master server is hosed.

EDIT: look at the 1 week charts as well...looks like the same thing happened 3 days ago, though not for as long.

Mechanical Engineer since 1995.

I design high speed packaging machinery for the beverage packing industry....mostly beer and soft drinks in cans and bottles packed into cardboard packages (that last step is what my machines do).

My machine (I say "my" because I designed about 75% of it):



Running right to left in that pic, it's about 10.7 meters long (some of it's cut off in that pic), and can pack about 200 12-packs of your favorite beer in one minute.

Quote from SRR Marty :seems to be a translating error. What was meant is west-european summer time, and not eastern standart time

So the UTC times are correct?

Quote from SRR Marty :
The facts:

Date: 25. October 2008
Start: 08:00pm EDT (which is 06:00 UTC)
Qualifying Start: 18. October 2008 02:00pm EDT (12:00 UTC)
Qualifying End: 19. October 2008 10:00pm EDT (08:00 UTC)

You need to edit your start times because 08:00PM EDT (20:00 EDT) does not equal 06:00 UTC.

EDT = EST = UTC-5 (-4 right now w/ DST)

The Formula GP2 Challenge, a premier LOTA racing series, puts drivers in the high performance Formula V8 open wheel cars of Live For Speed. While the car remains the same, the FO8 engine is detuned via a 20% intake restriction to bring the power down by 120 BHP and increasing overall car stability. Designed for drivers still developing their open wheel skills, the GP2 series focuses on competition amongst the drivers.

The FGP2C is a 8-event series over 11 weeks with events featuring a 15 minute qualifying session, a 15 minute sprint race, followed by a 50 minute feature race with one mandatory 4-tire change pit stop. The two featured Championships will be the Squad Championship, based on 4-driver squads, and the traditional individual title. Drivers will count their best 7 events toward the driver's title while squads count all points earned towards the squad title. The FGP2C will use the standard LOTA points table with the available performance bonuses for qualifying on the pole, leading a lap, fastest lap, highest climber, and laptime stability. The event password is applied to the race server 36 hours prior to the event to provide a private final preparation environment.

The typical race day schedule:
9:00 PM EST - Drivers are encouraged to join and prepare. Officials set race conditions.
9:30 PM EST - Qualifying starts - 15 minutes.
9:45 PM EST - Sprint Grid Placement - 5 minutes
9:50 PM EST - Sprint Race starts - 15 minutes
10:05 PM EST - Feature Grid Placement - 5 minutes
10:10 PM EST - Feature Race Starts (earliest start time)

Wow...never saw this one coming. Cyber was always one of those teams for which I held a ton of respect. Good luck to the other divisions of the team in other sims and to the LFSers as they go on without those beautiful Cyber skins.
