Quote from Eclipsed :Got a very unlucky start,caution came out few laps before being lapped,thought it was a good break for me. Nope - then started the crashmas NDR easter edition - I have no idea how many crashes I had to avoid,few of them couldn't,so I was a often guest in pitlane to fix damage... After server went offline and restart,I just couldn't get back in rhythm. 22nd again,meh...

I felt the exact same way

At least I wasn't alone

Felt like everybody was wrecking right in front of me . 1 or 2 of the crashes in which I was involved were my fault. 1 was a lag bump (my only attempt at bump drafting) and the rest I was just right behind an incident. I was waiting for a long green flag run in which I wasn't crashed right at the restart.

Anyways, see you guys next year

Looking at the event calendar there are no open dates until September (On August 25th I will be on my way back from Bristol and the NASCAR race). When scheduling what should I conflict with? I had a schedule written up that would start us in July with a 12 hour race, then continue with 6 more rounds in regular fashion. 3 weeks between each race starting on August 11th. I don't want to schedule events that nobody will want to come to however.

Worldwide Racing: Suggestion Thread
Cornys
S3 licensed
I have recently been arriving at a point in my life in which I have very little amount of time to devote to Live For Speed and Worldwide Racing. However, at the same time I am looking to grow the popularity of our racing events. I have been driven to provide this community with events which it did not previously have from the beginning. In 2011 we brought the Live For Speed community the first international TBO racing series in a long time (The World TBO Championship Series). In 2012 we brought the community the first serious ONLY rallycross circuit racing series (The Rallycross Shootout Series), and the first annual oval race in the GTR class. In 2013 we have brought the Live For Speed community the first oval racing series, and we also organized the first league race ever at the F24 Fern Bay Oval.

My administrators and I have been driven to provide this community with the most unique racing challenges, and I would like to continue this legacy. Driver counts for our Realistic NASCAR Cup Series (which was expected to have a small turn out in the first place) started high with the IndyCar 250, but by the time the 2nd Annual Kyoto 400 came around the driver counts were low. The Rallycross Shootout Series was much the same last year. The World TBO Championship Series in 2012 drew more drivers than ever, but we never did have more than 30 competitors attempt to qualify.

So, with this suggestion thread I'd like to ask what would the community like to see from us in the future? When numbers are low I must assume that we are doing something wrong. I don't have the time to run this organization as well as I would like to, but I'd like to do as good of a job as possible. No matter what the suggestion may be, please post it here

Each active league which we have has it's own suggestion thread, so if the suggestion is for a pre-existing league please post to the proper thread .

Quote :UPDATE 3: Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin was evaluated today by Dr. Jerry Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates after suffering an L1 Compression Fracture during an accident on the final lap of Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway. Dr. Petty determined that Hamlin will not require surgery, but will need time to properly heal, which is estimated around six weeks time. Dr. Petty will make the determination when Hamlin will be able to return to racing this season. No decision has been made on a replacement driver for Hamlin during his absence from the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.(Joe Gibbs Racing)(3-26-2013)

This from Jayski.com

Sadler would be nice to see in the #11.. question from me is can Denny still make the chase?

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :LFSWorld Name which received this penalty:CodeLyoko1
Link to official document indicating penalty:https://www.lfsforum.net/showt ... php?p=1777357#post1777357
Explain what is being appealed about this penalty:That I'm suspended from the RN open series and that I have a DQ for that race for crashing koreny
Why is this penalty is unfair in your opinion: Because I made that mistake and didn't hurt his win or championship. Also similiar things happened to koreny in the first open series race, but he did it continuesly and crashed of multiple people. What did he get? His licence! Thats why I think RN gives (if it wasn't their first time) unfair and not objectively penalty's to me.

Following the investigation of this appeal it has been determined that the penalty is to stand. Situations in and around this incident along with the evidence in the replay were deemed enough to warrent this penalty.

This penalty does not extend to the Realistic NASCAR Cup Series.

Appelate officers were slow to respond and when they did respond there were bigger things on the plate for me being that the Open Series had a long break after the time that the decision was made.

Expand the field to 31?

If no positions open up, good luck everybody

I have nothing wrong with blocking in a stock car until it causes a wreck. Yes, it's aggrivating, but that's a part of stock car racing.

Tony at Talledega was a bad block. Joey at Fontana was a good block. I guess Tony has a right to be mad, but the way I see it he really has no room to talk on the issue when his block last year caused almost the entire field to crash..

Quote from PMD9409 :I'm guessing Logano isn't looking for respect from anyone anytime soon.

He might as well not show up for Martinsville in 2 weeks

Kyle Busch had the race won even before Logono and Hamlin wrecked, but what an exciting race . Hope that Hamlin will be okay. Obviously, he hurt his back, but hopefully it is not any worse than discomfort . I was pulling for him in the final laps

Logono has been adjusted to finishing 3rd due to the timing of the caution. A fair decision even though I don't like it. Reminds me of the 2011 Indy 500 in a way.

Quote from Eclipsed :My crappy connection and inability to bumpdraft really screws up any chances for good positions. Went good at start - stuck behind leaders,just sitting behind them,but wrong choice of line made me lose contact. Still was 4s in front of followers and 6th,but Eikelkamp lost contact to group,waited for me hoping for help (dude,you should not brake though!!!),first bump and my car is sideways off in greens... After that gained still stable qualifying position,but last caution really gave some stress,since I'm so lousy at restarts - but went well,ready for my 3rd K250,hoping to improve 27th and 22nd from previous years.

If I would have made the race I would have tried to draft with you.. Try the sling-shot draft... but I'm pretty sure i missed the race

Good luck today everybody I'll hope to qualify, but I'm not sure what I'll be able to do speedwise.

I've always wished that somebody would try to get rid of the pre-turn 3 pit entry and just have a single cone just off of turn 3 for entry at all times. I myself have been in the position to do so in my leagues though and I decided not to just for safety purposes. I do think that it's possible though.

NDR does have a lot of commitment locations on the pit entry though both for caution and green flag stops.

The NASCAR style pit signs just aren't going to happen in LFS... Sorry. Would be cool though.. but it would also be cool if we had 32 pit stalls rather than 16 . NDR uses a custom layout for their events; they don't use the standard one

When I go to the correct site it shows me logged in, but where the password should be it prompts me to log in rather than giving it to me. When I log in it sends me to the 2012 page and that password.

Edit: Fixed! The computer had me remembered from last year. I had to log out and then back in (same information)
