The Series
Up for something completely new and unique to LFS league racing? Look no further. The I-SCAR series is an international stock car series that aims to emulate stock car league racing as best as possible in Live for Speed. While most series that have a similar goal run mostly on ovals, I-SCAR seeks to bring the best of both worlds: oval and circuit racing united together in one premier series. But that's not all, I-SCAR will also feature a fully modded stock car. (Created by forum moderator Bob Smith). This monster emulates a real life stock car as best as possible and boy is this car a beast to drive. Not only will it feature a new challenge to Live for Speed racers, but through this mod and league we hope to create a fun, challenging and competitive environment where the community can get the best of stock car racing, oval and circuit.

Drafting at close to 200 miles per hour? Beating and banging down in bumpy circuits like Aston and South City? 2-wide, 3-wide, and perhaps 4-wide racing?

A 3400 pound, 900 horsepower monster with a top speed of 215 miles per hour and realistic V8 engine roar? What's not to love? At I-SCAR we hope we can give the community a racing experience they will never forget.

Boogity boogity boogity, lets go racing boys! - DW

Information, registration, and the mod can all be found in the I-SCAR league subforum here: http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=266

Quote from Capo-002-fufox :

what about try it in a middle of the week, in a day that every1 agrees

Most, if not all, people either have to work or go to school, so during the week does not work. In fact, possibly for some, qualifying on friday may not work either.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

What about we make a poll?

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=61045

As requested, a poll thread to decide if round 2 of I-SCAR, set to be on September 5th, should be moved to September 12th.

Quote from FAburner :

well im not going to be able to race this week cause its labor day weekend=[ why would this race be on labor day weekend?? its kinda stupid to schedule it on this weekend. Some people(like me) will not be home. U cant move it to next week??

I understand. There is a week break inbetween this race and the next, so it is possible to push this race back a week to the 12th of September. However, I won't do that unless we get at least 1/3+ of the signups asking to do the same. If there's a majority that wants to move it back, we just might do that. So, anybody else need that saturday off?

Quote from h3adbang3r :

Protester:96 - J.Marsh
Protestee:60 - D.Lind
Lap #:25
Turn #:Exit of 1
Protest Description: Lind comes under me coming out of turn 1, hitting me hard in the side, causing me to lose spots and others to spin.

It has been determined that this was a racing incident. Because of the two safety car periods in a row, racer's tires got very cold, which made negotiating T1 difficult. Dennis Lind will be given a warning for future road course races about restart late braking.
Protest is denied.

Quote from SidiousX :

Have us all sit on the grid, and each person sends their setup to the admin, and you go down the list and look at them, solved

Lol, and what stops you from pitting and grabbing something different.

Quote from paulct :

Yes, fixed setups are quite easy to mandate, like Sid said.. however, in my opinion setups really are a big part of racing- if a team figures out something, then they've put in more R&D and are better setup-makers, which just makes them a better team. Isn't that what racing is?

Yes, which is why fixed setups will not be used. Part of your job in racing is to find that edge over someone else, not follow in line. Fixed setups will not be mandated. If you guys want to do it voluntarily, by all means.

Quote from SidiousX :

I agree with having a fixed setup, because I know theres going to be one person who finds something out about the set and completely rapes everyone, and ruins the fun for everyone...

So how would I make sure that you are going to use the correct setup? This kind of debate has already happened in the LFS community, and it can not work until the correct checks have been put into place on the dedi server for it to be able to check your setup. Currently, there is no way to check setups, so like I said, this isn't possible at this time, so don't worry about it.

Don't think that's really necessary, kinda takes away from the spectacle of the league if we do that. And, there's no real way to check that unless I make you run a program on each of your computers to check your setup. So, I'd say no.

Quote from Dennis93 :

maybe we should run a fixed setup for this

Why's that? You mean restricted as in restrictor plates?

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

It might sounds a bit stupid but .

Since this happend to me i just complely oversaw the safety car and then passed then i wanted to back up go reverse to park behind it.
An then i get specced.....

In real life this thing is far from elligal so please put down that auto spec sytsem or at least.
It wil also safe trouble if people can only like say get out of a wreck or gravel trap in reverse.

Yes, sorry for that. I'll remember to have that off for the next race.

Damn, you beat me before I could post it.

Here's a thread for any protests that racers would like to make.

Plenty of people already in there with the correct password. Make sure you input it case sensitive.

Rules amendment concerning in race playernames, please check it out and make sure that you will comply during any session, including qualifications.

Quote from lvlo :

Hi there

I don't remember with who I was talking about making custom car at server through Airio for this mod, but it seems to work...

Just define in Airio.tcd.txt file next lines:

CustomCars=NAS|XRT,0,0
DefaultCar=NAS

PM to me if you will have any problems with it

Meant to respond back. Tried this, ran it for a while, and noticed that you had to type !top XRT to find the right times that people were running. Removing that custom car pulled everything back to the !top command, so it doesn't matter what the tcd file is set to.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Doesn't work here. X10 unlocked, LFS linked by Lizard. I still see FXO in the cars list, instead of NAS.

In that screenshot, you'll see that the application hasn't made a complete connection to your LFS. Some people have said that you need to go to the multiplayer list, then exit LFS, then start it again for it to start working. Try that, then report back here.

I was given no indication that you made an attempt, or you did so during the brief time that an admin was missing. Do you have proof by way of mpr for your time?

Edit: Looking at the chat history, yeah, you showed up during the brief 15min that an admin was not in server, but, LFSW reported your time as 1:51.09, and then you disconnected, so I will accept that time.

doh, thanks.

Here are the qualification times put in so far.

Dennis93 1:19.11
capo-002-fufox 1:19.70
paulct 1:20.46
Faburner 1:20.63
h3adbang3r 1:22.03
SidiousX 1:22.20
GreyBull [CHA] 1:23.8.
Chrisuu01 1:24.75
CARRERA GT 1:30.55
hsvdt 1:52.09

I'm sad to see only 9 people have decided to try and qualify. However, after your qualification session, if you would like to discuss the session the times, do so here.

Poor paulct, shows up on time for the first session of qual today and nobody, even an admin, is there. So, I jumped in to record his one flying lap of qual for that first session, and it came out to be 1:20.46, pretty respectable. For the second qualifying session, I'll assume that I'll have to be there, so the server is passworded, but since I don't have the list of participants, I have to put the password here: "nolizard" (without the quotes of course ). Hopefully we'll see more than just 1 driver at a qual session.
