I had a great time even though I was really slow The derby race afterwards was messy, but also fun. Next track day I'll have figure 8 race afterwards instead

Quote from Franky.S :

Sorry couldnt make, work took longer than I was hoping

No problem. We'll have it again. Maybe next time you'll give Flame some competition

Quote from Gutholz :

first race in about 2h, for anyone confused by time zones

http://www.timeanddate.com/cou ... g=LX4+Track+Day&csz=1

Use this countdown clock and forget the time zones

1st race is in 1hour 45 min. Password has been applied

Quote from [Audi TT] :

What the nickname should be? (Name Last Name, A.Novokreschenov or other?)

I'm not going to restrict usernames in this event. Just use whatever you're comfortable with I just want to know who's coming so I can quickly make a results PDF with usual information on it

If you aren't sure rather or not you can make it go ahead and sign-up and if you can't make it don't bother telling me (unless you want to). As I said, I just want the results page to be a quick job

I hate to see a match come down to PK's, but 120min. of football is more than enough even for professionals. There's not much else than can be done.

Belgium vs. USA should be a pretty good match. I'm looking forward to it

I do think we should look into preventing it if possible. Although I'd share a set-up (and did today before the Ky500 with a competitor) I understand those who do not like to. They put in the effort to make the set-up and have an advantage. Taking that advantage from them discourages working to obtain it.

I think the best solution to it in truth is dynamic track conditions (rubber, marbles, weather, track temperature, ect.) A "better" set-up will only be better in ideal conditions. Ideal conditions are constant in today's LFS. Beyond this it would make LFS more of a challenge and every lap unlike the one before it. This leads to more people racing more often, larger league races and events, (the snowball keeps rolling from there)

LX4 Track Day will take place on 5 July 2014 starting at 16:30 GMT. We will run one 10 lap race followed by one 25 lap race with inverted starting grid (top 10 only if more than 10 attend) on the Aston Cadet Circuit in the LX4. Qualifying will be begin at 16:30 and last 25 minutes. This will be followed by the first race at or around 17:00 GMT. The second race will follow the first after a 5 minute break.

No points, just racing fun. Got some free time? Come out and join us

Quote from IsaacPrice :

After helping Deko to admin this race last year I have respect for him doing these races, although his sanity does have to be seriously questioned for continuing the oval races.

Quote from Cornys :

Only a special kind of idiot decides to administrate an oval race. Sadly, I am one of those.

I second this notion. Thanks Deko for doing this

At least I got 3 votes for first out of the race

Edit: Great performance from the top two, and nice to see Isaac do an oval race.

Wow, I needed a lot more practice Sorry to #7 for the contact in the opening laps. I felt really bad about doing that. I miscalculated the space behind me and made contact trying to get the slip-stream from the car in front.

Then, I didn't know how to get rid of speed on a run into turn 3 while in the top 5 (between pit cycles) and ruined the race for a couple guys. Experience in a pack for me would have prevented this, but I hadn't drafted with more than 2 other guys at a time in FO8 for years until today's race.

Then, the long green flag run.. About a quarter of the way into it was was given (as deserved) a Stop-and-Go penalty for the aforementioned incident. I served it and found myself almost almost two laps down. Soon afterwards I was 2 laps down, but I had more fuel than most people, so I set-out to stay 1 lap down after the leaders ran into trouble. When the caution finally came out I only had 7% fuel remaining, but I was on the lead lap. If I simply followed you rather than drafting by, I was trying to save fuel, and the sum of my fuel saving actually did allow me to finish on the lead lap.

When we went back to green I thought between the 67, 36, and I we were going to take out lap cars as we tried to cut through them. Somehow, we didn't and a caution came out and allowed us to all group at the front of the field.

On the second to last restart I got a good start, but Majoor and Kapal were too fast on the jump. Eventually, 67, 37, and I caught Isaac. We had trouble getting back into any kind of formation, and I quite honestly was trying to leave at least one of my competitors behind in that group so we could get back into formation. The second to last caution was simply because I tried to get between the 37 and 36 exiting turn #1 after I saw the 37's mistake. I miscalculated it's severity and spun myself, destroying my car in the process. I was able to get to pit lane and remain on the lead lap thanks to the caution, but I should have started at the tail of the field to void any advantage I received by my own mistake.

Truly, I made a joke of myself in today's race, and I shouldn't have the 5th place result to show for it. All I had was pace, but skill, it wasn't there.

Sorry to everybody in today's race and the administration. You deserved better from me.

Quote from Flame CZE :

Race survey, feel free to fill in

https://docs.google.com/forms/ ... zxn1qOtDGbi4KhZ8/viewform

Done

Would anybody (preferably somebody starting near me) like to practice drafting about an hour before the start of the race? This is my first Kyoto 500 and I'd like to perfect my set-up for drafting (and my drafting lines). I don't want to be the terrible drafting partner that holds all of my partners up because my gear ratios aren't correct or I'm down on experience.

Both sessions I participated in were basically just me due to the time difference

Quote from undertaker00 :

you should also read some football rules
thats even not yellow card.

That would actually be at the discretion of the referee, but I don't think he saw it in the first place Dangerous play.

Great game between Portugal and USA. Ronaldo didn't seem in shape, but the US let their guard down just in the final seconds and squandered a great win away.

Advance into the elimination rounds still looks promising for the US, and it looks a little futile for Portugal. Ghana still has a slightly better shot, but their destiny is not in their hands. A Portugal - Ghana tie makes the US - Germany match for seeding only in the elimination round (unless Germany routs the US, which it could), but a Ghana win makes it all the more important as it could be for the US's survival. Germany only needs to not lose by a large margin (or not see Ghana win by a large margin) to advance.

The Ghana and Portugal match should be a quality one. US will likely fall to Germany, but it shouldn't be a blow-out.

Than again, nothing has been predictable about this World Cup

Really, all of these graphical things are cool, but I think the majority would prefer physics and new content first. Once that is all out of the system new graphics would be a huge bonus, but not presently to me.

I likely wouldn't enter every round, but I'd do the ones that I could make (and not be a tortoise )

Pre-session I stated I'd be elated to time under 37 seconds.. I pulled a 36.97 out of my butt and timed at 36.9950 avg I'm elated

LFS Calendar shows Bump Day to begin an hour earlier than it is supposed to (just noticed it).

Thank you Frame rate boosts are needed for my PC, sadly.

Quote from lamerr :

Well thats how it is, people would need to manage that after a SC period, also nobody would be driving R4s as R3s are the better race tire(and a lot more enjoyable to drive).

Knowing what I know, I must both agree and disagree. Crashes occur everywhere with the easy to control compound following restarts. Take away more grip on restarts and restarts turn into "false starts" every few laps.

However, R3 and R4 are more enjoyable to drive, and faster when a lesser pace is not going to occur and cool tires.

Bottom line is that from an administrative standpoint it's an easy decision and as competitors we should be thankful that the move is taken most years. If it wasn't, less drivers would finish, more time would be spent under yellow, and the race might take over 7 hours

Quote from dekojester :

TRIPLE CREDIT TO ALL PARTICIPANTS IF NO YELLOW FLAGS

We only need 2 credits anyways

Sadly, all sessions are to early for me so far other than the one that I did with mouse on short notice (which I'm not accustomed to)

In LFS news: The Kyoto 250 and Kyoto 500 announcement news articles are only five articles apart from one another.

Quote from Mustangman759 :

Well after Dover's pebble they might be a bit cautious

HA, I'd forgotten that already

I watched a pretty good race today in Spain. Not sure if it was live or recorded, but I enjoyed watching it
