Well, we have 27 signups. The super special is first, so there should be 2 people going off every 2 mins. In the rest of the stages, a car goes off every minute.

So for the first person, it'll be: total time to drive each stage (<10mins) + time moving between servers (<5mins). For each person after that, it'll be a case of adding the additional time waiting for the gap between each person. Say you're 10th in line, that'll be the 5th SS1 race, so a ~10 min wait. So basically, it depends on how many people turn up, but I wouldn't think it'd take more than a hour or so.

2. Entries close when the rally starts, as I need to get you the password and after that I won't really check the forum.
3. Whatever, only the username is required to track you in the rally
4. If you wish

Quote from Squelch :

How about a micro hotlap comp, post your replays here?

You could always do the test rally in the LFS World Rally Challenge on Sunday evening Ok, you need to be on a server and it can't be done at your leisure, but we should be having a Fern Bay round in the actual season, and I'm sure we'll use some of the interesting places as shown in this layout

Quote from IceMan31x :

boothy... may i change my car to rb4 plz

Done, remember that it needs 5% and all cars need a passenger

As for servers, they are all up (server 3 may go down on Saturday if required for LFSCART though), so make sure you have done all the layouts

Quick thing, useful for the tracker to display the car numbers - if you can update your driver line-ups for round 2, or your line-ups for all rounds, to include the following:

username,full name,country (short or long),number,team

e.g.
SCA-F1,Simon Cattell,GBR,18,ineX Racing

that'd be lovely as it'll show numbers on the tracker.

Use the new stored views feature in Z30.

Yes, if you delete the start point, then shift+p and rejoin you'll still appear at the start poiint. Once you /restart the race without the start point you'll appear back on the grid...

In all the time I've been creating layouts, and doing them recently on the open configs, I've never seen this. I just tested it as well - works how you describe.

I can only assume the CR boys made a mistake somewhere I'm sure a short mpr or video would be the best way to show the bug.

Well, you've just proven my point - that there's no need to reinvent the wheel

Connect timed out, open port 63392

I'm glad people are free to post and say what they want on this forum.

Looks like BL23 from the Open track layout pack.

Quote from BigTime :

Also, thanks again to Fat Cat Servers for their support in sponsoring me and ineX Racing over the course of the last year. For more information regarding your server needs visit http://fatcatservers.com/. They offer comprehensive service to consumers requiring personal, corporate, and gaming server options. Check them out and bookmark them.

Such a great and discriminatory website, excluding almost 6 billion people in the world

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Great, great, great stuff.

Once again, too bad for missing skins though.

Agreed, no offence but you have to be mentally challenged to not ensure that you have all of the skins. It's pretty simple - download the skinpack for that round, set LFS not to download skins and see how many you don't have - then either download the rest in high res or rename some of the files if the names have changed. Christ we'd all help you with a skinpack if you posted a replay.

Pity that you didn't sync up the commentary for the Kyoto 500 - for those that saw the race it's a bit confusing as you showed the same corner a few times as the commentary was progressing round the track.

And a shame that you didn't include any of his DWC mentions from PSR TV - one of the most important things in iRacing for him but all we see is some text and a few cars going round a track.

Overall it's decent, but to me it seems to be quite drawn out with not enough footage, especially from the past, and a distinct lack of onboards - a camera looking at Nolan in car would be a good addition.

Quote from niall09 :

It was published at 19:55 BST, which was 2 minutes before Jack crossed the line of the sprint race. With Joe back in 7th, it was almost a dead cert that Jack would end up winning.

Nah it was definitely posted near the start of the sprint race - or even before it as we all saw it when we went to watch the stream just before the race. But I'm sure the perfectly logical explanation is that you copied the post from last year in Joomla! and forgot to unpublish it

Quote from JasonJ :

Exact same race was full last week at Watkins. Something brewing at that time slot Fri 0:45 GMT?

Thursday 2045 EDT race some people organised, getting 2 splits each week

No video, but I might be persuaded to make one at the end of the week, once I get the replay from the Monday morning one.

Some V8 Supercar action from Infineon

Quote from Bean0 :

We tried it once, Butz went round in a UF1 I think and made some notes then tried to be co-driver for Adam....

I think this was the first of my Silly Ideas (TM), there are more

Ha, that's a long layout I made for AS4, you kinda need to have a look at the autocross editor as there's quite a few route checkers and obviously you missed one

Quote from troy :

Doesn't learning the layout at full speed neglect one of the key points in rallying, actually not knowing how the thing feels while you go full throttle?

I would really like to see something where you need to drive from someone's notes on a layout you never drove before or only get the chance to drive it once with pit speed limiter on and take notes yourself.

Like Joe says, that would give the layout creator, or anyone who helped test the layouts, an advantage. Some bits of the layout are pretty tricky, and you kinda need to know what to do before going at it full speed.

For the test rally though I want as many people as possible to do the stages, you don't want to scare everyone away by just giving them pacenotes An interesting idea for the future though...

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

Although one thing i'm confused about on this lyt. Are we supposed to go full throttle over the last huge jump? When ever i do, i hit the signs sometimes and it gives penalties.

The signs are after the finish line so shouldn't give any penalties, show a replay

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

no % needed for fxo? anyway nice idea.

Apparently it gets owned on the rally stuff but makes up for it on the tarmac We'll see what it's like after the test rally.

Quote from aroX123 :

After signup, is it possible to change the car? I think my RB4 might be slower

Yeah just let me know, though for the test rally it doesn't really matter which one you choose, you can change before R1.

After a successful test rally, round 1 proper will take place on Sunday 17th July at 1700 UTC, with the Rally of South City featuring 4 stages.

The same rules as the test rally will apply, although you will be able to change your car. If you signed up for the test rally, there is no need to sign up again. Round 1 layouts are attached (as well as the test rally ones for anyone who wants them), and servers will be online shortly.

Servers: WRC.Stage 1, 2, 3 & 4 - see below for links
Password: will be sent out at the weekend
Restrictions: 5% on RB4, all cars must carry a passenger!
Tracker: www.newdimensionracing.com/rally
Date: Sunday 17th July
Time: 1700 UTC (should be finished before the GT2 Test race)
Layouts: are attached below or can be found on each server
Penalties: all LFS penalties will stand, with 60s added for no restriction on RB4/no passenger/each reset on a stage

Hi all,

We have been planning on running a LFS WRC event, with TBO cars, and layouts on multiple servers for a while now. Phil Diaz has been making layouts, I have been changing the MoE tracker to work with autocross stages, and others have been testing the stage layouts that we're planning to use - now we need some competitors to test out the whole system!

Quote from Krammeh :

why not? if someone has full weight and full fuel - its likely a crasher

Full fuel is about half of full weight, so it won't make that much difference to the crasher assumption.

Fuel should be private, or set as a host option.

None I hope.

Been spectating a race on FE25R (basically FE2R) - saw a blue flag for one car but didn't see any blue flags for another car - does the person receiving the blue flag need to have Z34 for others to see blue flags on him?

Edit: asked after the race, seems like z34 is needed for it to work for the person getting lapped.
