Quote from Kid222 :

Still i think it will be very interresting event.

It WILL be!

I'm sorry I don't agree with the surprise. Although a few of the drivers would be fine with the surprise, if any of the admin staff were in they could be then claimed to have known the combo and been able to practice when the others have not; we've thought of that in the past. However, thats not the real issue. As I said, some people are able to hop in a car, do 10 minutes of practice and be within 101% of the WR or closer, whereas others have to work and work and then get it. I want the AllStar Cup to have a lot of extremely good racing, and thus will state the combos;

Thanks for the input though, I am kinda surprised at the interest on "random" combos even if I am against it.

I will need to agree. There was no complaint filed to the admins, and therefore it stands as a simple racing incident. I've watched the replay several times, and although one could argue that Nolan would have been in the slip stream without the bump, the bump did cause Rudy to lose some time. Nolan could have passed right away had he continued turning in and used his speed, but instead he did the respectful, sportsmanlike thing by slowing with the competitor, and staying behind. Yes, he did keep some of the speed advantage, and did get further into the slip stream, but this was a racing incident. Nobody can claim otherwise, and this discussion is over. Go discuss the final event pre-race. It is only 2 weeks away and will be incredibly important for the championship; Rudy still has a fighting chance to take the win, and a lot of other people are fighting for positions within the lower ranks as well! Great championship going on guys!

Sounds great, and I didn't leave a comment the last time: Video came out nice. I like the tempo...

They will be told as soon as we know what the combos are and when we get the invitation list.

Date has been announced. March 14th. I am trying to decide if the time should be 19:00 utc, (normal Head-to-Head race time), or 18:00utc which is an hour earlier to compensate for the slightly longer event day.

Also announced there will be 10 people invited, which will make the qualifying more pressured, as 2 people will be eliminated each time. This is invite only; and although it may include the Top 10 of the Winter Series, it is up to us to decide who gets invited.

WoooO! Top 10 buddy! (without my penalty I would be tied with Bernhard!)

Well here are the Race Replays for all to watch... Soon we will have a media section on the Head-to-Head website that will hold all replays in the future, and contain all the replays back to the Racing Series of 08.

Ok here it is, sign-ups are opening. Only the top 24 will be allowed at the event. However where as this is the fifth and finale event, the championship points will take priority for the first 48 hours.

ALSO: You MUST have competed in one of the four previous events of the Head-to-Head: Winter Series '09, or do not bother signing up.

The event will not immediately start at 19:00utc, instead there will be a period where reserves are brought in to fill the empty spots.

All reserves are to meet up in the LFS Meeting Room. (Multiplayer -> Display Hosts -> Meeting Room)
As people are needed, the SRS Admin will call up the reserves until the server is filled.
If a reserve driver is not in the meeting room at the time, the next on the list will be called.

Sorry Hacku and others who have not shown to an event; but we have strict rules to close the sign-ups after the fourth event, and those who have not competed in one of the 4 can not show up to the finale...

--- Signups Closed ---

Quote from zeugnimod :

I just did a 37.34 and have no idea how.

Well you better show me then forget :P

What times are we doing on the standing lap?

Also remember to practice with the cold tires, because you only have 1 outlap and 1 hotlap during qualifying. It makes no sense to practice with warm tires.



Good luck

I will get around to sorting the sign-up and reserve lists as soon as I get a chance. Sorry for such a late delay, I have been terribly busy...

I have to say, that is user error at it's best...

Yes, Chris this is for the 10 best / fastest drivers; but please watch the live stream we plan to get going for it. That is what will make this event so special, it will be broadcasted live for all to watch, and it will certainly be worth watching.

I don't wanna let de Souza's secret out, but he likes to cry over such fuzzy, touching statements :P

Even though it is far pass the 48 hour deadline, we are experiencing some internet issues and awaiting the Championship Standings to be updated before creating the official sign-up and reserve list. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

News / Info?

Due to the amazing racing we have had during the Winter Series '09 SRS will hold an All-Star Cup soon after the Winter Series, on March 14th, 2009.

This is a one day event, which will be invitation only. 10 champions will compete in a variety of combos; although more information will come. We expect there to be a minimum of 3 combos, and upwards of five; all done in 1 day, back to back with a small break in between each event. There will be no mandatory warm-up session, although there will be 5 minutes between each combo. There will be only one qualifying session for the 10 competitors to make their time in the single hotlap fashion...

We are hoping to have this event broadcasting live; video; and so spectators will be welcome to view; I highly recommend watching! More information will come with time, but start subscribing to this thread to be updated.

You don't back off that much, I've followed Michael quite close through it, just had to brake earlier so I didn't hit him but you can still make up that time again, just practice it and you will see.

I don't think it will be a disaster, but I do believe it will be much different than most Head-to-Head events... Just put in the proper amount of practice and everything should be great.

Yea, I haven't figured out how well the event will be but I do believe it will be spectacular whether it is good or bad it will be spectacularly good or bad. :P

Oh, and I think people should practice the chicane while following another car, it is a very different experience and you should know how to handle yourself. That will be the key area for the following person to stay close, but they need to be smart when doing so as they may rear-end the leader since they don't have any front downforce. I am thinking of adding some haybales against the wall, (not at the corner so the line should be the same) but in emergency it might offer a softer impact?

Quote from J@tko :

As much as I'd love to join, 1) I'll suck 2) I hate the combo and 3) No praccy time

I'll watch this one - GL all

If you want to listen there is a high chance we will at least setup the live audio broadcast again, and who knows, maybe even video.

Results will take a little longer than average this time around because de Souza does not have access to the internet.

Also, I have all the replays from all three events renamed and will be made available on the website as soon as we get the time to add them and organize that stuff.

For those wondering, Jason Lovett did not get a penalty for cutting, he did hit the pole but he lifted while doing so, and lifted for a bit while traveling up the hill.

Stein Andre Skavdal did however receive a 10pt penalty for talking during the admin speech when we asked everyone not to speak.

In the future these admin speeches will be handled by the system to give automatic penalties, and keeping everyone spectated. I have a feeling there were a few people out on track driving around that didn't listen to my speech all that well and it did irratate me a bit that I couldn't get peoples attention after asking for it...

Ok here it is, sign-ups are opening. Only the top 24 will be allowed at the event. However where as this is the fourth event, the championship points will take priority for the first 48 hours.
