I don't think there would be space in the Ticker, but could do so in the middle-of-screen listings, sure. I'll put that in the list.

That you'll have to find out from your server provider or the server's setup.cfg file. After that, you don't have to do anything, the program has no other commands except for the ones detailed in the readme.txt.

look in the config.ini file. that's where you put in your ip, port and admin pass.

As long as people are using the programs, that's enough for me :P

On second thought, it'd be nice if people signup for my league. Though, right now it's being restructured, as there's far too many GTR leagues.

You just unzip the file to anywhere you want, open the config.ini file and fill out the details, then start it.

The Track Position Ticker was originally developed to help racers who are participating in events on the Autocross track to know what position they are in at any given moment, but will work with any track. The program resembles the live event broadcast tickers that many TV channels display on the top of the screen.

As usual, please leave any ideas, criticisms and suggestions as they help improve the program.

Wanted Features: (Green = completed, awaiting next build)

• Scroll smoothly the driver listing across the ticker.

Big update time:
The ability to choose between PlayerName and UserName has been added to the program. This was a big request from numerous people, and I've finally gotten around to adding this for all of you. Enjoy and please test to make sure it's working well. Download is in the OP, if you've installed a previous version, the next time you start the program, it should automatically update itself.

I might add that for the next iteration.

Ask any questions you have about the Supercar 500 Challenge or the coming race Westhill International 500.

Absolutely. As long as you can think of a name for your 'team', the more that sign up the merrier.

Same with me, K. Burns.

The Supercar 500 Challenge is a new series with a unique format. Run semi-annually, the series meetings include qualifying, sprint, and feature sessions. The winning team of a race meeting has the opportunity to defend their winner’s title at the next meeting.

Meetings take the following format: each team consists of two (2) drivers, defined as “Driver A” and “Driver B”. In the qualifying and sprint race portions of the meeting, all teams’ drivers are divided into sessions based on their “A” or “B” status. The qualifying sessions last for 20 minutes and set the grids for 75 km (~20-minute) sprint races. In the course of the sprint races, either the “A” OR the “B” driver must make one (1) compulsory pit stop. This requirement adds complexity to the qualifying process, forcing each team to determine which driver should sacrifice time to make the stop.

The starting grid for the next day’s 500 km endurance race is set by the combined points scored by each team’s two drivers in the sprint races.

Quote from xenoa :

Protest agains #01 spdo racing
Weaving (aka heating tyres) under SC lap when race restarted.

Rpl soon

Replay not needed. Reviewed the protest, and no weaving was found. Protest denied.

Yeah, they can race as long as they find another person to race with. But a team cannot be only one person.

The rules are pretty similar to IGTC, so as long as you know those at the beginning, you'll be fine.

Quote from banshee56 :

Kevin,

Can a team have multiple entries? And can we enter with drivers TBA at this time?

I think that'll depend on the amount of registered teams. Similar to what IGTC does, if there are fewer than 30 teams signed up, then we could consider allowing teams to have multiple entries. Of course, I'm hoping that signups fill up so that we don't have to have multiple team entries though .

Sure, you can enter with drivers TBA, and then when you re-submit the registration form again with your decided drivers, I'll merge the two together.

Signups are now open. Go to the league's website, linked above, and you'll find it under Division F of the Rules and Regulations.

Quote from hyntty :

Sounds complex. So in sprints and qualifying teammates drive in different sessions? Is the 'endurance' a car sharing race then?

I'm presuming it's gtrs? Any balancing on them? Any idea of tracks that will be used?

All of that is already on the website

But yes, each driver has a sprint and qual session.

________________________________________________

I'd like to use this intro thread to get an indication of the level of interest for this league. It'll have full Safety Car periods (if they're needed), warmup lap to the grid, standing starts and pitstop complexity. Signups will open on thursday, March 19th. The link to the registration form will be posted on the website in the appropriate place in the rules section. I'm hoping there will be interest in this league idea. Also, if you guys show interest, Victor will give me a subforum .

EDIT: Forgot: Eireann go Brach!!

If you still can't find someone to broadcast for you, look up lfsusername Knight_Atack. He's going to be broadcasting my league, it might be good practice for him to do it for you as well.
