Oh right.

Well, I confirm my participation.

I'll be in the UF-BR server soon to have a go (on a single monitor ) once my phones flashed...

Nice !

you do realise that you no longer own the title 'rollmeister' that baton was passed on to one of your stable mates (and it wasn't Chris )

Quote from anttt69 :

Improvement suggestion: less restriction, I think 45% kills the fun of an exciting car. It also amplifies the incredible amount of grip that the UFR has.
If you were to reduce the grip level or increase the power of the UFBR I really think that would improve the quality of the racing & the series as a whole.

my 2 cents

Ant,

I know its a suggestion but this is the SECOND season of this car combination. We ran an entire first season last year with it - it was so popular that people demanded a second series and CTRA introduced it and it has been well received there as well.

The phrase 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' instantly comes to mind, also I think based on the fact there were 40 sign ups within 24 hours means that we kind of have a winning formula.

Its good that you have your opinions and suggestions are always welcome... the trouble is when listening to comments and suggestions regarding the Baby-R, I always tend to listen harder to people who have taken the time to research their facts correctly. Those 36 drivers that completed in last years event completed thousands of racing laps between them not including the practice events. I think everyone who competed the series are vare happy - so why change?

Having said that - well - you mention the we should increase the restriction and reduce the grip.. the grip is fixed we can not do anything about that - so lets lift the restriction - oh wait hang on a mo - theres a car already like that - its called the UFR

Quote from Jakg :

What days will the races be on? I think I might actually be able to do it...

It is on Thursday Evenings (the traditional day for UF Racer Club events)

Also having seen that your signed up already I would have thought that you'd actually read the rules and stuff already which says it.



It would be good to have you in Jack, only this time - if you start it - stick at it rather than quit like you did last year because you weren't good enuff to win it

Quote from mikey_G :

Well, to my defense, I did read it. Just not point 5.9

Quote from StableX :

SO it is true! You said them. WE ARE DOOMED! That's like finding out that Lord Blaster brings Lady Blaster in to Racing

I thought they did that already and there is a Masterblaster as well

Quote from StableX :

a twin....??? We're all doomed!!!!!!

We had to make the team championship specifically for them....

Quote from james12s :

nice, ill be modding the ukct ufr skin tonight then

OUt of interest as there are 4 UKCT members signed up - who will be paired with who? and make sure that the team names and the skins used are SIGNIFICANTLY differnet as per the rules

Quote from james12s :

shall we post our skins here or maybe start another thread were people can post there skins, high res if pos so people can download them and have them in super high res like 2048 and you can also check if they are legal

our intention is to make a seperate post for skins etc it will probably be not even hosted on LFS but in the Baby-R forum through the Baby-R website.

We will announce the thread when it happens.

Quote from mikey_G :

not me, I'm going for gold in the privateers cup AND the drivers chamionship

And yes, I'm that cocky

Yup as James said there is not a Privateers Cup.

It is important that (not making an exmaple of MikeyG by anyways) that people should make sure they have read and understood all the rules before signing up for this championship.

Quote from Christofire :

As you say, even the best make mistakes. Can you imagine Kimi, last weekend in the pit lane, shouting in his helmet "OMG!? You N000b! WTF!!? Bernie BAN! BANHAMMER Nowz! lolZ0r" ?

....he only kept quiet because the week before he wrecked Sutil


rest of the reply I agree with 100%

Quote from TFalke55 :

me wants better then being alone^^

maybe calling it dSRC yfb coop racing^^ and skin one half of the car the dSRC the other half the yfb

but I want the black numberboard with the white numbers^^

sounds a bit like the ill fated zipper BAR from 1999 Falke heheheheh

plenty of time to work out team mates and things like that - we will probably get another 15-20 signups and then there will be plenty to go around.

It would be a great idea if we could get say 50 drivers making 25 teams - that would be just great

Quote from -Willi- :

After a longer break in league racing I also wish to join:

LFS User Account Name: -willi-
LFS Racer Name: Willi (or if you insist on real name: M.Willmann)
Team: n/a
Race Number: 77


.spr will follow

Right then - thats the champion sorted - who wants to race for second place


Welcome Willi - good to have you on board mate

Quote from Bean0 :

O Rly

best way to get them off the scent is to lie to them Bean0

Quote from mikey_G :

Sad to see you not joining chris, I was hoping to have some good fights again which we had in the uf1000 league



btw, a question for all you ufr-br pro's:

What transmission does this car have?

I was checking yesterdays replays, but it looked like I was the only one not flatshifting. So, was I doing silly stuff lifting the throttle at every gearshift, or was it correct ?

I lift about 10% - similar to the function of the the FBM if you know what I mean.

It's not flat shifting.

You can flat shift - it does cook the clutch a bit slowly - but also i find that if you do flat shift - the rise and then fall in revs actually produces a slower gear change which results in a slower lap time.

HTH.

Quote from mr_x :

Enjoy season 2 chaps, I won't be taking part to defend my 4th place due to my interest in LFS being very low/non existant right now.

you've been away playing with your mistress.... but when your ready, your wife is ready to take you back in her loving arms

Quote from niels1 :

Do they guys who have completed the first season have to do a hotlape ??

I think those guys have shown that there commited

I'm no longer the guy in charge - Bean0 is the BabyRmeister for Season 2 but I would say/suggest that Racers from Season 1 do not have to submit the rules - I will confirm with Bean0 and report back

Quote from J@tko :

Can I please me incredibly picky?

Reading the rules and stuff, there are a couple of errors:
Under Rule 2.2, it should read 'The qualifying session is only complete once ALL drivers have finished and the Admin' have published an RCM QUALIFYING COMPLETE message'

Under the 'Car' section, it should read 'Fuel Tank' not 'Feul Tank'

Done

yes - correct - the clue was actually in my avatar picture.....

Quote from TFalke55 :

Am I right? Real names again?

LFS Licence: TFalke55
Real Name: T.Falkenberg
Team: Jamie does not have time, and before making yfb public, some things are still needed... so actually - NO
Number: 55

55 / T.Falkenberg / (yfb LFS Racing) / TFalke55 / Replay needed


BTW: In your media section the broadcast is missing

whoopsie - not a problem - we have a forum attached with a media section - we will make sure that we get your great coverage up there.

Sorry again - i'll thorw myself on my sword

LFS User Account Name: Dru
LFS Racer Name: J.Parker

Quote from TFalke55 :

Hey Dru? Who drove the Baby-R? And, to be more direct, who had to pay the ticket for speeding in the city?

well - it was said that it was the Stig that was driving the car.....


When the driver got out he just had to show the answer on his t-shirt.....

Stig revealed?
