Car drives itself.

And after you have explored,what then? Next thread about new needs of updates?
LFS has a lot to offer already - there are plenty of racing events happening almost every day (seeing you joining RandomCar for a single round and not returning as you were not competitive tells me that's not your cup of tea however).
I'm sure slow drivers and figure skaters can offer also something to do,but anyway - if you get bored so quickly after less than 3 years,the new update will not please you for a long time anyway.

I'm more curious - what do you expect from the upcoming new update that will suddenly blow your mind and make LFS not boring? Just because the shadows are more realistic and lighting can change from day to night and back will LFS suddenly become so much more interesting for you? Please,clear this up...

The proportions of the car look wrong,so I took a measurement - the model currently is just 1.55m wide,that's 16cm less than actual Astra of that generation. I did not took any measurments of length or height though.

First thing - what you see in F12 menu is NOT live reading of tyres data,it's pit instructions what pressure should be set up during next pitstop.
Second thing - not sure if you have been sleeping for past ?? years,but tyre physics are being reworked,unfortunatelly it's not going as fast as most of us could wish,but still I'm sure Scawen has taken all aspects into account,including pressure increase due temperature rise.

Quote from joordy599 :

I don't know if it's allowed to sell my account but then I'm willing to let someone take over my account or else I'll leave it as "abandoned".

The shortest terms and conditions in the world: https://www.lfs.net/agreement - point 3.4

Anyway - don't understand this dramatic leave/farewell,it looks like you expect others asking to not leave,there have been many of those and guess what - some of them returned.

6th round was run on the 1st custom racetrack in the short history of this league - the circuit was checked and found to be usable even if bringing it's own challenges,these seemed to be a problem for many as the round marked lowest ever attendance in the 6 rounds of this series. Still 19 cars were on grid ready to tackle the course and fight for better positions,2 retired before reaching points scoring distance.

The standings leader got drawn the only mid-engined all wheel drive car and led all 11 laps to finish 1st for the first time in this league,taking also all bonus points for both pole position and fastest lap of the race. The 3-time polesitter Mantas qualified 3rd for 2nd race in row and since 2nd place qualifier did not start,got promoted to front row with his Talot - also a position that did not change between start and finish. Nosle got the finnish made Raceabout for this race and was 5th in qualifying,improving the position in finish to 3rd place - 1st podium finish for the driver representing Luxembourg.

If standings leader scores most points in the round,it's clear that his advantage grows - before this round he was just 4 points ahead of Fast,who did not attend this round,now 2nd place is taken by Nosle,who is already 20 points behind leader,closelly followed by his rival through most of the season RD2,who is still 3rd,now 22 points behind lead.

There is a lead change in teams championship - after a successful round Born to Race overtook S1dus and now leads by 2 points with 4 rounds to go in series. RGA is still 3rd with 16 points gap to new leaders. No changes however in nations championship - Lithuania keeps running away,extending it's lead to 87 points over Finland,which is also running away from rest of the nations. The Nosle/RD2 battle is also in nations championship visible - the Luxembourg and Bulgaria has it's battle for 3rd place in standings. In manufacturers championship URC1 still leads despite the only driver who got this car drawn not attending,the midengined version of XF chassis is still 2nd and FXO still 3rd,but now with equal points count.

Imprezzive is still the most drawn car,but not tied anymore - the 4wd coupe has been drawn 23 times through 6 rounds,Talot is 2nd most with 21 draws,URC1 dropped down from tied lead to 3rd being the only other car with 20 or more draws. And the latest car draw drew same car for the 3rd time for 2 other drivers - RD2 got the URC1 3 times already,now Fast got the RB4 and T.Soini got the Imprezzive for the 3rd time,while there are plenty of drivers who got same car twice through the season,most noticable is mr.M@CI3K who got 2 cars drwan twice. This track produced the lowest average speed on the series - with just 105km/h the latest race was 8km/h slower than the previous slowest race at South City and 13km/h slower than average through the season.

7th round,scheduled in 4 weeks,will bring us back to South City's longest configuration,but unlike round 2,it will be run in reversed direction. Lapcount however will be the same - 17,but seeing the trend in WR tables,the average race speed is expected to be a bit lower. But next tuesday in RTFR another off-season race will feature another tough challenge,more information will be posted in the weekend as always.

Race statistics / RTFR .mpr folder / Event rating and other statistics (will be updated later this week)


2 weeks after the most attended event of the latest 14 months (which even caused a spin-off series) we went straight to the least attended event in latest 9 months. It was just a combination of several factors for this crowd drop - difficult car in even more difficult track (which kinda partially brought the car to it's roots - racing on unpaved surface),no championship to fight for and no promotion over livestream. 19 drivers qualified,but only 12 of them also dared to start the enduring race,which caused a total of 9 pitstops (the smaller half done by one driver however),10 of them held the torture through to see the chequered flag.

The fastest of the 10 finishers through the 31 laps was Unite,who had fair share of trouble early on,but he climbed back through the field to finish 1st,which is his 1st RTFR race win since 291st RTFR and 12th overall,tying A.Wiśniewski for 6th most wins,it was also his 71st top5 finish. R.Kardol set the fastest known laptime for this combo in qualifying,scoring his 15th pole position - that puts him in tie for 4th most pole positions with his teammate Gábor. He however had some suspension problems and had to pit for repairs,ending him in 2nd position with 4 seconds gap to winner - 77th top5 finish for the dutchman. During qualifying Michal set a milestone as it was his 100th RTFR qualifying session,but even more important was the milestone of his best ever RTFR finishing position - 3rd,one position better than previous best. It was also the 11th top5 finish and first since 277th RTFR. Arska finished 4th after leading a lap before his pitstop,that's his 20th top5 finish in 70th finish overall,his countryman Lerssi completed the top5 - his best previous finishing position was 11th.

Also in 2 weeks we will meet up in same place and same time for a simple non-championship RTFR and only in the weekend before it will be known what combo will be run then,only know fact is that it will be a slick tyres wearing car. But already next week RTFR server will be used for the RandomCar - 6th round will be held on a custom track,marking Layout Square's 1st ever usage in Race Green Events history. Full info and server will be set up friday which is 2 days earlier than usually to allow drivers get to know the track and report missing track markings if any found.

2 updates in cars lineup this time,one because of mod's update,other is a new voted car.

The Cammera 730 Turbo received an update,where both engine power and car's weight were changed - the restriction is corrected accordingly to keep the car at same performance,which will be monitored during upcoming races if the 10% air restriction is correct.

The new car which won the voting in our Discord server is XM-5 94 Turbo,which is a lightweight roadster based on a popular japanese car from 90ies. The car receives both weight and restriction,as the ruling is first to add weight until car reaches curb weight of 1100kg - the full balancing is 8% air restriction + 120kg added weight.

The short history of Westhill TT can be compared to the cars version of the event - also on the 2nd edition of Westhill endurance race with cars the attendance was low and also there just 4 entries saw the chequered flag. There were several tryers however,some of them tried more,some less,but still they were not able to finish the 2 laps run to get in race results. A total of 10 attempts to complete the 21.83km run were successful,4 of those were completed by event winner,each with different bike,remaining 6 were equally split between other 3 riders.

The defending champion returned also this year to defend the honor and he was not even properly challenged - his worst of 4 completed attempts using the slowest used bike was still 5 seconds faster than the best of the competition,however his 4th and last attempt set a time of 9 and a half minutes,averaging 137.8km/h through the course with his own built Chimera X1. That's 51 seconds faster than the best rival was able to do - Unite from S1dus team was the one to take 2nd position with his last try,running the historic GP250R. The finn completed the distance in 10 minutes and 21 seconds,averaging 126km/h,beating previous 2nd best time by just a half of a second. Despite 2nd attempt,Egor K's 1st try was his best and held 2nd position until late stage of the event,when it was pushed down to 3rd,also he set his best time with the Chimera. That's a good improvement compared to last year,where he finished 8th in results despite completing most attempts. The only other rider in results is Xëc,who tried 2 different GP bikes - his best result was with GP250R,completing course in just over 14 minutes,clocking average speed of 93km/h.

2nd best bike was Vulcan 998,which was used in Simox's 3rd run,just 2 seconds faster than GP250R,both bikes setting average speed of just over 130km/h,while event winner's 2nd attempt was made using the GP125 - that was his only attempt longer than 10 minutes. No other bikes saw an end of a run,even if several more were tried out - riders found out that the course is too challenging even for slower ones.

It's difficult to judge,what was the reason for the low interest - even if the event started at same time as BF1 League's final round,barely any of participants are seen in both of these events. Or was it the increased distance of a run,as this year 2 laps were to be completed instead of just one. Several bikes were not allowed to be used this year just to keep the speeds and difficulty level lower,which seemed to be the right choice. The 3rd edition of Westhill TT is currently under question mark,so let's wait and see what the future brings - if the event happens,it will be run just like in both previous editions - few weeks after the cars race around similar track.

Race Green Events thanks all riders for participation and guys behind the scenes for their input and efforts - voluntary testers and modders. As always everyone is welcome to share their experience from the event,either in form of text,pictures or videos! Also (even if that rarely happens) - we're awaiting winner's speach!

This tuesday the RTFR XL featured another bottom half car in the popularity table - XRT,a pretty much standard for front engined rear wheel driven sports coupe in LFS. Still the somewhat lower than average in last 2 years attendance was higher than car's all time average. Unfortunatelly the racing was not really action packed,still there were plenty of battles through the race.

The day went under the star of Mantas - he was the fastest in qualifying and led 2/3 of the race to finish 1st and collect the fastest lap of the race. Even if the performance wasn't really dominating,he still picked up all possible achievements for the 1st time in one race. It was already his 2nd RTFR XL race win,3rd pole position and the fastest lap of the race was his 1st. It was the 4th top5 finish for the lithuanian. The current rating and 2023 standings leader R.Kardol was the other driver to lead the race,but the pace was not enough and he finished 2nd for the 5th time this year,scoring also his 39th top5 finish,marking exact half of all RTFR XL races. Doni did not really put much effort in qualifying,but increased it heavily in race by finishing 3rd - that's a repeat of his best RTFR XL finish result and his 5th top5 finish. Nosle was the one who crossed the finish line 3rd,but was caught ignoring the pit exit line,so the 10 second penalty put him down to 4th position in final results,still it's an upgrade by 9 positions compared to his only previous RTFR XL finish. Mandula returned to the event after more than half a year break and did exactly the same as in the shorter RTFR version on his return - he finished 5th,which is his 7th top5 finish.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
There aren't much events using combos available for S1 licence owners anymore,this however was one of few. The fun fact in this is that previous S1 combo in this event series was also run on same Fern Bay configuration and all 3 previous S1 combos were run using LX4 car.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
10.07 seconds was the length of shortest work free,made by Michal,who had some slight competition though as it was just 0.06s shorter than 2nd best result.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
The 3rd place finisher Doni started from 17th position,which means a gain of 14 positions in the race - 10 more than 2nd best effort.

VOD at Youtube:


Next RTFR XL will be held using another standard LFS car - the only street legal real world car in our simulator known under the name Raceabout. The finnish made car will be run on the high speed configuration of Aston National,which will be the 2nd race held on this track - previous time was in 14th RTFR XL,where it was run with another real world car FBM. But that's something in 4 weeks,next week RTFR will be on the off-season mode,so the combo will be announced just on sunday,but the 2nd tuesday from now is the RandomCar day,where the colorful field will be run on custom layout at Layout Square.

Full and official results will be posted after review within a week!

Queue list so everyone knows how long they have to wait in case a longer queue row ahead:

This is already the 5th year of RTFR,where a specific standings are made,and the 2nd one where the year has been divided into 2 seasons. After 12 races the first of those is completed,so we're ready for a season recap. Even if compared to previous 2 years the attendance has sunk a little,still the most races had 30 or more cars on grid,averaging overall attendance at almost 33 drivers per round. Total count of participants through all 12 rounds was just 1 shy off 100. 6 different drivers managed to win at least one race,all of them finished in top9 of the standings.


RTFR 2023 Season 1 standings winner: S1DUS*GáboR
The hungarian made it 2 in row - the defending standings champion of 2022 S2 won also the next scored season and that without attending last round as the 1st position was practically secured. Gábor won a total of 4 races (twice as much as all 3 second most successful drivers),finished 2nd twice and 4th 3 times,taking also 1 pole position and 2 fastest laps of the race. The previous season also brought him 9 top5 finishes (despite being 2 rounds shorter),but his win count was just half as big.

Also the 2nd place owner did not attend last round of this season and still kept his position as it was almost practically secured. R.Kardol spent most of the season in chasing position - he finished in second position 5 times,another 2 races were completed in 3rd position,bringing home just a single race win - 4 times less than in previous season. The fastest driver this season was V.Lakūnas,who finished 3rd in standings only in last round overtaking previous 3rd place owner. He's fastest only because he scored pole position in more than half of season rounds (7 of 12) and also set most fastest laps of the race - 3. However he could convert the pace in only 2 race wins and 5 other podium finishes. The 2022 S1 standings winner did not attend a single round in previous season.

The list of race winners also inclue 4th place in standings A.Valta,who won 2 races,but did not attend last 3 rounds,effectivelly giving up the chance to finish 1st in standings. Fatal is another 2-time race winner this season,he however did not finish in top5 in any other round and finished 6th in standings. The lowest finisher in standings with a race win in baggage is Mantas,who won 11th race of the season,finishing 9th in standings.




Next 3 races count as off-season races as they will not score points to any specific standings besides the ever going 15-race rating. This gives the organisation the chance to go a little more experimental,so expect less standard combos as we have plenty of mods to try. However the RTFR XL scored season does not have any intermissions,so already on coming tuesday round 6 will be carried out in the tough Fern Bay - drivers however can take a "break" from this enduring series as only 10 best scores from 12 possible count.

Pitting rules:
Race requires a minimum time spent in pitstall of 10 seconds. That can be done either with single pitstop or sum of multiple pitstops. Driver who has spent less time will receive penalty time added to his finish time,which will be calculated by tripling the missing time to complete neccesary minimum time and adding additional 5 seconds. Drivers failing to pit at all will receive 1 minute penalty added to finish time (10s*3 + additional 30s).
