Quote from MousemanLV :

Been away for 8 months on LFSforums and I am glad to see that the game is changing. Keep up the great work, I am genuinely happy about the progress. Even though it will never be like it used to be back when NDR and Genuine Racing held races, it would be definitely nice to hop on LFS one day once we will be able to say that a new era has started to take its shape.
Even if I was one of the individuals who hated on the progress of LFS, I am truly happy to see that you guys are still working on the game. It just shows that you are really passionate about what you do, even if it doesn't match the standards of today's gaming industry (which is what I appreciate because it keeps the true and loyal people in this community still around and cheering you on for what you are trying to achieve).

Great work, a bright future is ahead.

New Dimension Racing still exist, we've done a small number of events in the last years. Internally, we're discussing resurrecting, hoping to bring stuff back to life sooner rather than later (and hopefully in line with these updates coming to the public).

I'm loving the look of Aston with this redo, but I'm also curious of the final layout of the old nearly 180 at the north end of the circuit. The Grand Touring cut between the main pit straight and the north pit straight has been tightened. I'm sure I'll fall out of my chair when we see what work is done to Kyoto, and will have a heart attack when we see Fern Bay!

Quote from Thunderhead :

Doubt anyone here even remembers me lol

I remember you! You participated in iCON Touring Car Championship, and made a promo/intro for the first season of it and raced with us in it.

Dankx:

Vote bans last for 24 hours, and only on that server. Sadly, short of speaking with the server owner, there's nothing that can be done. Best is to just find another server and move on.

I'll be cleaning up your other threads; will leave this one.

My wife has been fine with me doing the few we’ve done lately, I’ve just not had the satisfaction of it being worth. Been working on internal things, website coding, results redoing.

Oh, and the jump from PHP 5 to PHP 7 has caused tracker errors, so trying to sort that out, too. I’m highly keen to keep a presence in LFS, just try to time events to get peak involvement. The LFSCART Voucher event, the iTCC resurrection, and the TBOC Special all went well from what I saw.

I have a feeling that there’s a possible community of newer users who don’t have a place to learn to race, but I’m not sure it’s enough to do usual leagues - back to simple leagues like our LFS Beginner’s Cup, LX Challenge, MiniFBM, TBOC.

If I can make the NDR website do most of the bureaucratic work (results, points, entry, password access, etc), I can do more. The biggest issue is the manual time. Same for if we ran anything in rFactor 2 or Automobilista, for example.

If your friend you referred to here had his demo account banned from the forum for posting about licensed content, and has since purchased a license, either PM me his name or send an email to the developers, and we will unban if we confirm he has purchased.

Bans and unban requests are usually not discussed in open forum, and are usually handled in private. I'm not going to get into details of who we ban and unban and for what reasons here.

If you have any further questions, please contact me or the developers directly.

Closing thread.

I would not say I'm too lazy . Plus, this year, the traditional weekend for the 500, I will be at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course flagging some open wheel racing (USF4, Formula Atlantic, F2000,F1600), but if I can assemble a team we may try the insanity again

Thank you all for racing, we were glad to have you for this event. I'll get a recap article up in the next day or two, and post here when I've done so.

Quote from jmeade :

You're Welcome ... that would have been a weird race ... actually hilarious it you think about it

What Jared is referring to is an error in the initial publication, where the rule stated that the sprint race would have a "05 minute time limit" - this has been corrected to the intended 25 minute time limit.

All racers entered as of the time of this post should have a PM in their inbox with race day password, among other details.

You will be able to watch all the action at the NDR YouTube Page, at :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOGmer2RMxY

Also, there is likely to be a web stream for this event. Details available tomorrow once all is confirmed.

Hello racers, welcome to the TBOC Holiday Special! Please feel free to discuss the race here. Do take note of the following briefing notes.

Spirit of the Event: We usually ask for no contact, but we understand that some is to be expected in touring car style racing. What we still do not want to see is excessive contact to put a driver off-line so that you can gain a massive advantage, and you still should not try and "help" someone get further out of shape if you can help it. Hard racing induces some door banging and "chrome horns" - but keep it sensible and don't tread wild on the other racers. We want to see hard racing, but please keep it fair. Yes, this is the same bit that was in last year's iTCC Holiday Special, but we consider the TBO Challenge a similar touring-car style event.

Qualifying Procedure: The qualifying session will be held in one server with the current entry quantity. You may spectate/pit/head to garage any time at all during the session. You may run as many laps as you desire in the 20-minute session. We ask that you do not exit the pitlane if there is not enough time to start a timed lap.

Race Procedure: The Sprint Race will be gridded based on qualifying results. The Feature Race will be gridded based on Sprint Race Results, except for a reversal of positions 6-10 based on Sprint Race duration as explained below:

The last digit of the winner's race time will set the reversal. If the number is 1 to 5
inclusive, 5 will be added to that number to get the reverse. 6 through 9 will be taken as
that number. 0 will equal 10.

All races start by way of standard LFS standing start. No lag lap will be used.

No pit stops are required, but you may take one at your own discretion if felt necessary.

Race Meeting Points: Points will be awarded per regulations, and a Champion of the Meeting will be awarded.

Post-Race Procedure: Following each race, top 3 must report to start/finish for a podium photo. After the podium photo following Race 2, the top 3 in points will be called to start/finish for a photo.

Also, I've finally gotten Airio running again on the server. I was having issues launching it due to a package not installing correctly during a recent upgrade.

Quote from Kid222 :

I have shared the event on Czech LFS FB page. It's interesting combo, so maybe even considering attending myself (if there's enough admins to go by).

There should be enough admins to go by, since we don't do Safety Cars, and in TBOC the racing is *usually* clean and civil enough that there are no incident reviews in the middle of the races

Quote from tankslacno :

Mr. Ellis had taken his headset off because his mother was asking him something...I'm still shocked to this day that he didn't hear my shouting even if the headset had been put on his desk!

Thanks for sharing those, Thilo.

I'm glad to see some familiar names pop up in the signups. Of course, hoping for more but understand it's the holidays and just before staying up all night to ring in 2018.

I'm generating a full list of past TBOC participants, and will send a PM blast to them all to see if it hits their email. If you know anyone who has never done the TBOC before, bring them in also!

Hello Race Fans!

New Dimension Racing are pleased to announce a special event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of New Dimension Racing, the TBO Challenge (TBOC)!

The series was originally created by the IMA team, which former NDR Member (and still NDR Friend) Chris "Wilko868" Wilkinson and company ran in 2009, before Chris brought it as part of New Dimension Racing.

We have decided that a revival event for the TBOC would be a great end cap for 2017, and a perfect way to celebrate 10 years of New Dimension Racing. We will run the event on Saturday, December 30th, with qualifying starting at 18:00 UTC. The event will take place at Blackwood Historic, with the Sprint Race being 16 laps (52.8 km) in distance, and the Feature Race being 26 laps (85.8 km) in distance. Sign ups, rules, etc will be forthcoming in separate threads.

We hope you join us!

Please post a skin with your selected and approved car number on the hood and doors. The hood number should be readable from facing the front of the car, angled alignment is permitted. The TBOC logo and NDR logo are included for convenience if you wish to add them to your skin. You are only required to display your car number, all else is free.

Please post your skins here, with the exact name as they are on LFSWorld, but post 2048x2048 resolution here.
