LLS 2021: Round 5 - Race Discussion
Season finale!
Here are some championship scenarios.
Driver's Championship
With 156 points on offer in the final round, the top 4 are mathematically eligible.
In any scenario, Joni wins the championship if he completes 75% of the race distance in Race 1 and is classified 21st or better.
Gabor has the best chance to beat Joni, but must not lose more than 11 points in qualifying and Race 1 combined.
Team's Championship
Top 3 teams mathematically eligible.
There are 417 points available in the last round. Sadly, S1DUS would have to suffer tremendous misfortune to lose the championship.
Westhill National, for the finale. Let's hope the Turkish GP is done in good time!

LLS 2021: Round 5 - Pre-Qualifying and Locked In Teams
Hello racers,
Locked-In Teams
The following teams and their entered cars are locked in for Round 5 of the 2021 LFSCART Light Series:
Team S1DUS (Cars 27, 28, 29)
Race Green Autosports (Cars 12, 13, 14)
World Class Lions (Cars 39, 40, 41)
Fragmaster (Cars 7, 8, 9)
This gives us 12 reserved spaces for the second round. All these cars are entered into the race meeting, therefore do not have to pre-qualify.
Pre-Qualifying
All teams outside of the top 4 in points for Round 5 are required to pre-qualify.
Pre-Qualifying starts at 18:00 UTC on 7 October 2021, and runs for 48 hours.
It will take place in the NDR.Pre-Qualifying server. 24 cars will make it into the round on Sunday, we ask the first three team cars outside the top 24 to be ready to jump in last minute, if necessary.
Drivers may take as many laps as they want. Drafting is permitted, bump-drafting is not. Drivers should not impede other drivers at any time.
In the server, drivers are to use their names in proper format, using a car number associated to their team, assigned to them by their team management. Multiple drivers for a team may use the same car number, the fastest time will apply. The teams have the right to decide which driver represents them for the race meeting on Sunday in the event they have more drivers available than cars entered. Pre-Qualifying this round therefore serves a dual purpose - allows us to establish the entry list, and allows teams to use it to select their drivers, if they deem it necessary.
Airio will be running on the server, as well as the tracker.

Remember, once a driver has driven an official session, they are locked to that team. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not consider Pre-Qualifying a session that would lock a driver to a team.
You can have up to five drivers on your team roster at any time, and can only replace those who have not partaken in Free Practice, Qualifying, or the Races.
NOMINATIONS ARE DUE BY 20:00 UTC on Saturday, 25 September, 2021. You may make substitutions or changes up until the start of qualifying, but must have an initial declaration by 20:00 UTC or you will automatically be considered to not be participating, and your spot given to another car.

Event Specifics
1. Alerting the Administration:
Use @sc to alert administration to look at your car or the section of track you were in when you use the @sc command. The command will tell the administration what location you're at.
2. Communications:
All drivers are required to be in the NDR TeamSpeak server: teamspeak.newdimensionracing.com - Race Control messages will be broadcast to anyone in a channel in the Pit Wall in TS. If you would like a subchannel for your team or friendly drivers, please let us know and we will create one.
Make sure you have your race number and/or your LFS username as your nickname on TeamSpeak
3. Driver Naming:
Be sure to be in your proper name format Number (grey or white), space, then First initial last name [eg. 00 J. Palmer]. The name may be in colour.
4. Tracker:
Timing will be available and running on http://tracker.newdimensionracing.com.
5. Wind Conditions:
Low wind for all sessions, except Pre-Qualifying.
6. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
All cars entering or exiting the pits must use the warmup lanes at all times. All cars must also keep all parts of the car to the left of the blend lines on entry and exit.
Cars on the course may cross the blend lines, but may not use the warmup lanes.
7. Qualifying Procedure
The qualifying session is closed course - cars only allowed out at race control command.
Each driver is afforded one opportunity to complete an outlap, one flying lap, and one inlap. Drivers will be called in order of the driver's championship. Any late arrivals will go at the end of the session.
We will afford 20 minutes for drivers to arrive and take their qualifying run.
8. Race Start:
The race will have three unscored formation lap, followed by a double file rolling start.
When the default LFS lights turn green, pull away from your grid slot and follow the safety car single file. At the one lap to green signal, the field should form into double file, polesitter on the inside (left side).
Rows should be generally even, with at least one car width between row-mates. Rows should be spaced approximately 3 car lengths apart. The leader must hold 80 kph pace from the time the SC pulls off until the green flag is called.
On the RACE START ONLY: Overtaking is permitted at the green flag message.
In the event of a wave off, the start will be tried the next laps. Two wave offs are allowed, the third start attempt will be a single-file start.
9. Track Boundaries
Competitors are allowed to go below the white line at the bottom of the track. Drivers must keep all wheels off of the grass, and by extent, the tarmac areas that intersect the grass. For the avoidance of doubt, where no grass exists, a yellow line has been placed. No driver may go below the yellow line, except in incident avoidance. Gaining time or position by going below the yellow line with any part of the car is protestable, and reviewable by the stewards.
10. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 2. It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
The leader controls the pace on the restart, and may accelerate at their discretion.
You may not overtake until you cross the start finish line.
11. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed to pit lane. The WINNER ONLY shall report back to Start / Finish Line for podium pose.
12. Miscellany:
Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S during the race without authorization from Race Control, unless you are in the pit lane.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
Good luck!

LLS 2021: Round 3 - Race Discussion
Hello racers,
Next stop for the LFSCART Light series is the Rockingham Oval. NDR's first oval event since 2015, the last year the Kyoto 250 was run. LFSCART Light would often visit the Kyoto Oval for "The Night Before The 500", always held the evening prior to the Kyoto 500.
This time, we use the trapezoidal Rockingham Oval. This round will see a rolling start, and be a single race, 240 km in distance.
