Seeing this activity I'll try to repeat something I suggested before - something we could use as turn inside curbing. Simple 1 meter long version of the same good old speed bump would be already a good solution. Optionally another version with one side more flattened than other side (longitudinally).
In some cases we can trick out some curbs using concrete objects,but they're not well suited in elevation,while the speed bumps adjust themselves on ground.
Object count raise maybe too? (I started to build a specific track in LA,but to complete it,needs a bit more than 2400 objects,3000 would be enough)

12 months of 2022,12 RTFR XL races - all of these now are completed,it's time for a recap! Even if average attendance sank by 3,reaching 27.5 drivers per round,it was still over average attended year,except the june round,where only 18 drivers were ready to deal with almost 1000 horsepower modern F1 car. Round one repeated event's all time highest attendance record of 43,being the 3rd race with fully filled 40 car grid. A total of 80 drivers scored at least a point towards standings,which is 4 less than last year. 21 from these managed to finish in top5 in at least one round,last year there were 24 in this list. 8 different drivers scored a race win this year (2 more than last year),3 of them for the first time in RTFR XL. Interestingly half of them were not very active,finishing outside top10 of final standings. Another fun fact is visible on the graphical podium - all 3 drivers scored their best result with one of the LX cars,standings winner scored his sole win with LX6,both other drivers - with LX4.

RTFR XL 2022 standings winner: [FM]ˆﾁαtαι
The 2021 STARL champion Fatal certainly increased his presence in RGE hosted leagues this year - he finished 3rd in AWS 2022 standings and won the championship in VERL 2022. Now he added another achievement in RTFR XL,despite winning just a single race out of 12. His advantage was consistency as he finished outside top5 just in a single race he started,scoring 4 second place finishes. In standings he finished the season with comfortable 29 points lead - only in 2 races a winner could score more than that in this dynamic points system. Last year the finn finished just 14th in RTFR XL final standings with a single 5th place finish as best result.

Last year's standings winner R.Kardol was pushed down to 2nd place this year,mostly due his lack of activity,as he did not attend 4 of 12 rounds. Still the dutchman won 3 races (most of the year) and brought home a top5 finish in each of the 8 races he started. Unite had a similar result as his teammate - 8 races,8 top5 finishes,however the 0 in wins column makes the difference. The finn finished twice as 2nd for his best result and scored 3 fourth place finishes,which is most this year. Also for him it's a loss of one position in final standings compared to last year.

Between rest of noticable names is V.Laguckas,who won 2 of first three rounds of the year,but his last race was on april,he ended 8th on standings with effort from 4 rounds. Also S1dus Monkey scored 2 wins this year,setting fastest lap in all 3 races he participated,that equals 11th place in standings. Between sole race winners are also Gábor,Upsas,Mantas and Number.

They say it's cheaper by dozen,this year the count reaches dozen,but the costs are getting further away from being cheap as there are plenty of wrecked XRGs in the past. Does this change anything? Not at all,as the crashhappy people keep returning with new cars,so for the 12th time - Race [un]Green Events presents: the chance to take your 140 horsepower rear wheel drive XR GT and don't feel sorry if you happen to destroy it - because this is an event where you have a risk to get your car finished before crossing the finish line. The event will have only few basic rules regarding behaviour on track,otherwise - feel free to impress your opponents physically,divebombing and P.I.T. maneuvers more than welcome! Event will consist from different parts - qualifying,where each driver just sets his laptimes to decide starting places,heats,where the fight starts to get physical for the chance for final,the final,where best will be decided and a bonus run,where everyone will get a final chance to let out rage on masses!

The event starts 18:00 UTC / 19:00 CET / 20:00 EET with hotlap qualifying,everyone who wants to take part,should be in server before the start of it,but arrival deadline is 20 minutes after start of qualifying (it's the minimum lenght of it),everyone who comes later will be able just to watch and take part only in bonus run - noone without qualifying will be allowed to take part in main event.

Fern Bay is and stays the LFS true classic,so it seems we will never leave this place! Bullring V3 is still the place to be,also this year we'll use the very same layout as several years before and probably few years after.

(click to see bigger image)
The track surface is 99% grass (not that the 1% of tarmac would make much difference anyway),one lap is 330 meters long and width variates from 10 to 20 meters and it even has a slight elevation! Layout file can be found as attachment from one of previous year's threads and in server,feel free to have practice runs to be familiar with track or just store the layout for own needs.


Now some information about the parts of this event:

Qualifying:
The hotlap qualifying will be used here. Every driver will have 1 outlap and 2 timed hotlaps,the best lap counts as per standart LFS qualifying. The order will be decided by connection list - from top to bottom,late joiners will have a chance for their run after initial order. Each driver will receive 2 simple commands from race administration:
[drivername] - join - driver joins and stops his car right before entry of track (right before the yellow line)
[drivername] - go! - driver enters the track for his qualifying run
Everyone else is expected to stay in spectators until called for his run! To speed up things,we will run 2 cars on track at same time. Track is just over 20 seconds long,this means cars will have around 10 seconds between them,so noone should disturb other driver normally. But in case someone spins and loses a lot of speed,he is expected to allow other driver to pass in case he is near behind!
Qualifying will determine starting order for most of runs!

Heats:
Heats will be 10 laps long and will be used to determine drivers eligible for the final. Heat run amount and levels (as semifinal or quarterfinal) will depend from number of drivers taking part,but every heat will be run with no more than 8 drivers,best 2 finishers atomatically qualifies for next level (final or semifinal),except the last chance run where more drivers could start if needed and it will be just 6 laps long!
For example - if there are 13-24 drivers,all will be divided into 3 heats (from qualifying results - 1st in heat 1,2nd - heat 2,3rd - heat 3,4th - heat 3,5th - heat 2,6th - heat 1,7th - heat 1,etc). Best 2 from each heat qualifies for final,the rest will run in last chance run for remaining 4 postions in final.
If there are more than 24 drivers,the first round of heats will determine best 18 to take part in semifinal heats which will be run just like in example.

NOTE - before leaving unhappy after first failure,it's worth to remember that everyone will have 2 chances to qualify for next round! So if you fail to make next round during your quarter- or semifinal heat,you'll have another chance in relegation/last chance run! For better understanding,here is a simple chart that shows idea of advancing through heats (drivers and heat count are subject to change from amount of atendees)

The final:
The final is the run where the event official winner will be decided - it will be 20 laps long and only best 10 drivers through qualifying and heats will be able to fight for bragging rights! The starting order will be decided partially from heats and qualifying - for example if there were 3 heats,all 3 heat winners will start from top 3 places,order for that will be determined by qualifying results,all 3 heat 2nd place finishers will take 4th-6th places on start with same ordering,last chance run qualifyers will be ordered just by qualifying results.

The Bonus run:
It's the ultimate carnage - everyone in server will be able to take part in this 20 lap run,the best part - starting order will be random,so you could only blame LFS randomizer for a bad starting position. As usually bonus run will have some new layout additions,some a bit experimental,some pretty much classic,some might put you out of race,some will help you to put others out.
As always the official part of the event ends with finish of Bonus run,but the afterparty will continue as long there are crashhappy drivers in server - 10 lap races on the Bonus run track just for fun,where we will allow all cars (including mods),so this year the afterparty might be even more interesting than previously!


Even this is a almost rule-free event on track while racing,the event format asks some tough admining,so everyone is expected to behave in server and follow admin's instuctions and these guide lines:

Starting of a run:
Everyone will be simply gridded in default formation - 1st position is on left side,2nd in middle and 3rd - on right side of each row.
Make sure you don't jump the start as LFS will either give you DT/SG penalty or even spectate you - penalty will be replaced by 1 lap penalty,while spectate will mean that your heat is over!

Racing rules:
Everyone is expected to follow clean racing rules... Yeah,right... This is crashmaaas! There are only these basic rules:
1. No wrong way driving - just anti-clockwise direction on track! In case you get spun heading wrong way,driver is expected to turn his car to right direction on full steering lock or reverse and make the J-turn.
2. No standing on track or massive slowing down - except the car is in undrivable condition/position,in that case feel free to leave your car as an extra obstacle for others and hope for someone's help.
3. No disturbing on non-finished drivers after finishing himself.
4. No rejoining during run - if the car is undriveable,rolled or outside the track,the run is over!
5. Have fun! (also a mandatory rule )

NOTE: After having some incidents in previous years,special attention on rule #3! If you finish your run,you may not interfere others in any way! Serious infractions will lead to disqualification. Also 2nd rule is ignored more and more,so repeated violations might receive ban from this and other RGE events. Let's keep it cool and fair for everyone!

Server behaviour rules:

• follow the instructions of admins
  
• no spamming in chat (few known spammers might be quickly kicked if they don't behave)
  
• no insulting others in any way (other than crashing them while in a official run)
  
• join only when allowed
  
• no voting for restart/end/qualification

It has tiny wing on rear,which in theory can be adjusted. Also it provides max 38N downforce at 40m/s which (if I understood correctly) is like extra 38kg weight on wheels at that speed. Deffinitelly not much effect for 1.4 ton car,the option just allows have a little adjustment for higher speeds. If you feel it has too much understeer,set differential to rear as it is AWD car (that's why it's included in this year's AWS schedule).

The season of big changes starts with the classic Blackwood RXGP round in the classic Blackwood Rallycross track,run in reversed direction. But this classic has a big change - the car run here this year is something quite different from what AWS drivers are used to. The new lightweight buggy is 1st ever single seater run in this league through it's 12 seasons. Currently the signup activity is lacking,but between entries there is already one familiar name from few years ago - the 2016 drivers champion. Now the question is - who wants to challenge him in the new era of AWS?

On a typical LFS rallycross track there is no question about tyre selection - only hybrids is a smart choice. The lightweight car can still be rough on the tyres if run too agressivelly on tarmac parts,but the biggest weakness is the clutch - despite need to rev the engine on high notes,it is required to take care of revs,when landing the car from jumps,as a high difference between wheelspeed and groundspeed when landing will torture the clutch to glowing. Track however is the familiar part in this race,still will draw from drivers a lot of effort to enter the 1st turn without losing time to rivals. Even if very alluring,drivers should avoid going fast over last jump - overshooting last turn will be very costly!

- - - - - - - - - -


The last RTFR XL of this year was held with and FXO,but not a standard one as this has some history before it was used for running in races. It was exported to Australia where it was rebuilt by a finnish car maker to fit in the Australian V8 Supercar series. Later it was reimported back and now featured in our event to give drivers a new challenge. Of course the 1.5 ton 640 horsepower car with minor downforce assistance is everything else than people's car,meaning attendance numbers won't be high,still as in most races,there was plenty of action on track,including some drama due speeding in pitlane and flat tyres as drivers are not so familiar with this car yet.

Even if qualifying advantage wasn't that big,R.Kardol still was quite dominant in the race as he finished 46 seconds ahead of competition,which effectivelly is almost half a lap gap. With this he scored the round number 10 victory in RTFR XL - one less than all time highest of Botsi. The pole position was his 7th,the fastest lap of the race was his 9th (both also 2nd most),but his top5 finish - his 34th. Despite qualifying just 4th,the already secured standings winner Fatal was a runner up in the race,scoring his 11th top5 finish,10th this year. Altsu rejoined RTFR XL after 2 years break and was the closest rival to his leading teammate,but was caught speeding when entering pitlane,which cost him 2nd place in results - instead he finished 3rd,which is his 7th top5 finish. The event host had rather uneventful race,used mistakes of rivals to climb up to 4th position in final results repeating highest result of the year and scoring 28th top5 finish. The author of the mod was bidding for a higher top5 finish,but late in the race had an incident,throwing him down to 5th position,with which Unite rounded his top5 count to 20.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Kyoto has been very popular this year - 1/3 of all 12 RTFR XL races of the year were selected to be run in this japanese environment,no other track was selected more than twice. With this Kyoto now tied South City for 2nd place with 13 selections,Aston is still most popular with 14 selections.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
Again a car that could not make the full race distance on single tank even if it's 112 liters large,so everyone had some work on their pitstops. Shortest work was done by Unite's pit crew - they just filled some fuel and Unite spent 10.15 seconds in his pitstall. He was just one of 2 drivers who completed full race distance on same set of tyres.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
...is someone who is quite sensitive about his name even if it feature 2 non-letter characters - M@CI3K (copied from results). He started 16th and gained 5 poitions during the race to finish 11th.

VOD at Youtube:


With this the 2022 active racing is completed in RTFR XL,next race is estimated to be held in 6 weeks. But some activity is still left - even if standings winner is known,the full final results are still to be made. Next week there will be 2 events from our side - first on monday AWS will start it's 12th season with a brand new car. More info and signups in AWS forum section! Second event is on tuesday - the 296th RTFR will be the last of the year,featuring some quite classic combo with some fresh twist. More info will be posted in this weekend.

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).

lerssi - receives a DISQUALIFICATION from race results for multiple intentional incidents during the race. Since the driver has caused some trouble in past and obviously does not share our way of fairness and interaction with other racers,Race Green Events has no other options and has to ban the driver from all it's hosted events for 6 months starting from raceday of 295th RTFR.
Elias › - receives a WARNING for incident on lap 1 and leaving the car on track in dangerous position during the race. Future misconducts might lead to actual penalty.
｢DD｣ tBug - receives a WARNING for multiple contacts on first 2 laps. This is not banger racing,so if you're not able pass without a contact,don't go for the pass! Future misconducts will lead to actual penalty.

This week on Race Green's GTi Tuesday... Yea,this one is wrong too - but still coincidentally 2 races in row in the series were quite related to weekly FM's racing events. After the FOX race,this time we raced the popular GTi class car XFG. Of course as always the relativelly slow car created close racing,leading to some rubbing and paint trading,unfortunatelly some went over the line and started to act like in other fridays event,hosted by Piran Moto.

During these 2 races just a single driver was on top of the race results - S1dus Monkey from WCL team recorded his 2nd winning streak in RTFR,the finn is the 6th driver in RTFR history to record more than 1 winning streak. Inspired by his bananas,the Monkey took a clean sweep of achievements from this race,recording his 9th racewin,7th pole position,7th fastest lap of the race and 19th top5 finish. Additionally this was the 100th race win for Finland in RTFR - another proof that drivers from this country tend to take a lot of the achievements. Chasing hard the leader was not enough,so the other front row starter after few attempts early in the race could only see his rival bocoming smaller in his sight - still a worthy 2nd place finish for the 2nd placed standings man R.Kardol,which is his 66th top5 finish. The standings leader Gábor had to regain his 3rd position through the race,that's his 36th top5 finish. Another S1dus member finished 4th - with this Unite scored his 68th top5 finish,breaking the tie for all time 2nd most top5 finishes. During the qualifying Ric98 scored his best ever result - 4th position,which is an improvement by 2 positions,but lost a position during the race and finished 5th to repeat his best result.

Next week season finale of RTFR XL coming up with a challenging combo - the powerful but also a bit heavy FXO V8Supercar will be run in Kyoto's National configuration. Full info will be posted during this evening. And in twoo weeks time also the normal RTFR season will have it's finale - clue about combo you can find out when watching the stream recording,full info will be posted as always in the weekend before the race. And that will be just the 2nd event from Race Green Events in the week - just a day before 296th RTFR,in 19th december our longest yearly league All-wheel-drive Winter Series will start it's 12th season,which will feature 8 different cars in it's 8 rounds. More info and signups can be found in AWS forum section.

Just because people use LFS for other reasons,does not mean it's not an racing simulator anymore.

Special notes on custom cars:
Some custom cars carry elements in their downloaded package configurations which are not deemed suited for racing in our events (safety car/police lights). Using such are forbidden and in case of breach driver will receive penalty for unsupported equipment. The forbidden configurations are:
* PZGG - Police
* FRWE - Cop

Special notes on rounds with electric cars:
Electric cars have limited range on their power supply,which is not long enough to complete the nominal AWS race length of 40 minutes without sacrificing race pace drastically. Recharge to full battery capacity takes several minutes,which doesn't really fit active racing concept,therefor it was decided to divide rounds run with electric car into two 20 minute races. Both races will start with same grid order (from qualifying results) and results will be counted together for one single round result. Driver's fastest lap will be the best lap during both race sessions.
As an example: in race one driver A wins with gap of 3 seconds over driver B. In race 2 driver B wins with gap of 5 seconds over driver A. In overall results driver B is the winner with gap of 2 seconds over driver A.

Special notes on qualifying:
* In rounds 4 and 7 hotlap qualifying will be used,this means there will be no specific lenght of qualifying session,every driver will run alone and have outlap and 2 hotlaps. Qualifying order will be determined by points standings - the highest ranked driver will start his qualifying run last,lowest - first. Race start will be approx. 10 minutes after qualifying.
* If there is no max allowed grid (40 cars),Drivers Championship top 10 drivers will be allowed to start from end of the grid if came late and missed qualification - noone else will be allowed to start without qualifying. In round 1 this top 10 will be taken from last season's final standings.
- To qualify for the race drivers have to set a laptime during qualifying session within 112% of best laptime of the qualifying session. This does not affect championship's top 10 drivers as they may start the race without qualifying or with laptime outside 112% of best laptime.

Rules:
We will not make a mile long rule book that noone will read completely anyway,so we will rely on common sence of competitors to behave and follow the basic Rules of Clean Racing. There will not be an admin in server who will specifically observe drivers' behaviour during the race. If any incidents reported/protested,we will take individual approach to each of them to decide best resolution or punishment if needed.

Basic guidelines as a reminder:
> Blue flag - you may not deny/block a passing manouvre of laping car and try a repass right after it. In qualification it means - stay off racing line and don't disturb drivers on hotlap.
> Shortcuts - 2 wheels on track at all times. Track is mostly marked by white lines,rumble strips or at least defined by paved surface,while also curbs count towards track. Overtaking outside track (for example in Kyoto oval on apron) counts as illegal and will be penalized in case of protest.
> Contacts - have to be avoided at all costs as always when racing open wheel cars (B2AS),that includes also bumpdrafting. With closed wheels cars bumpdrafting is not forbidden,but in case of any reported incidents it will be treated as intentional contact,so everyone has to make sure that he knows what he is doing!
> Pit exit - allthough there will be no mandatory pitstop in this league,pit exit lines will have to be respected! Everyone caught crossing pit exit lines with more than 2 wheels will receive 10 seconds penalty added to finish result. In rounds 4 and 7,which are held in oval tracks also pit entry must be respected - driver have to enter pits on apron before final turn.
> Chatting - it's not completely outruled,but still drivers are expected to concentrate on racing. In case of too much chatting while ignoring messages asking to cease chatting,a penalty may be given. In case of any abusive/offensive language a penalty will be given! Non competing observers may not use chat at all!
> Lags - if there are any connection issues,driver will be asked to improve (close internet using programs). If driver will be considered as dangerous due to unstable connection,he will not be allowed to participate.
> Button clutch - is forbidden! Manual clutch is allowed only in combination with axis clutch. Everyone caught using it will be penalized for unsportsmanlike behaviour with increased penalty for every next offence.
> Hacks/cheats - if used,you will not race with us. Ever. As simple as that.

Possible penalties:
> WARNING - any minor infraction that needs to be noted without penalty. Warned driver might receive bigger penalty for other infractions.
> 10s added to finish time - minor infractions,like illegal passing,pit exit line violation,chat misconduct.
> 30s added to finish time (1 lap penalty in rounds 4 and 7) - medium infractions like causing avoidable incident[s] without serious consequences or unsportsmanlike behaviour,illegal passing,unsupported equipment.
> 60s added to finish time (1 lap penalty in rounds 1, 5 and 8 / 2 laps penalty in rounds 4 and 7) - medium infractions like causing avoidable incident[s] with consequences to other drivers (like affecting damage,multiple position loss) or unsportsmanlike behaviour.
> Disqualification for 1 or more rounds - heavy infractions,multiple incidents,unsportsmanlike behaviour. After serving disqualification,driver will automatically carry a "warning" for the rest of season.
> Series exclusion (including ban for any other events run under Race Green Events control) - serious infractions like intentional/revenge wrecking,event sabotage and any other malicious act.

Partially - the dashboard housing seeems to be invisible through windows,it's fine when viewing from inside.
While setting up the view,also noticed that there is a gap between door frame and roof and rear side window. And there are few more gaps around doors when looking from inside.

Both dashboard and steering wheel are floating in air. Also seems like rollcage is unfinished as it is missing some sections.

Who forces you to use the "crappy" mods? If you happen to encounter one that is great for your taste,mark it as favourite,then you will have your own hand picked list of good mods.
When it comes to user created content,there will always be quality differences. Same was already with servers - did you asked to close bad ones? Or same with layouts made by users - did you asked the bad ones to be deleted and never used again? Or skins...
Just ignore what you don't like,don't use it. Some high tiered DLC will not fix anything. Devs have proved before that they're not into huge profits unlike creators of AC[C] and iRacing,otherwise we would have S10 or so out there and subscription for online using.

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


This week on Race Green's FOX Tuesday... Nope,we all know it's not true - RTFR represents ever changing combos using every LFS standard car,so it was just one of the occasional appearances of the popular low performance single seater wearing the name of an animal in it's abbreviation. The tricky track had it's share of action influence and was a cause for few retirements. The 2nd part of top10 starters could not share the track when entering 1st chicane right after start,causing a chain reaction of incidents,involving many drivers even if they did best to avoid it.

4 drivers of top5 have a word S1dus in their names,the leading one not because he's a member of that team - WCL's monkey did not much monkey business,instead was racing hard as he passed for the race lead right after start of 8th lap and was unchallenged since. The finn became the 9th driver to score 8th win in RTFR,his fastest lap of the race was his 6th,it was also his 18th top5 finish. With this win Finland has now 99 RTFR race wins,meaning that next finnish winner will have the honor to score 100th RTFR win for the country. Gábor scored his 13th pole position (tying his teammates R.Kardol and Fast for 3rd most),but while trying to be more cautios through the threatening last chicane,he lost pace over charging driver and had to concede lead to him,finishing 2nd at the end - 35th top5 finish for the hungarian. Gábor's main rival for season standings win R.Kardol finished 3rd to score his 65th top5 finish. Top4 was closed by the 3rd S1dus driver Unite,who charged all the way up from 9th position on the start - with this he tied his countryman Botsi for 2nd most top5 finishes,67 a piece. Another previous RTFR winner finished 5th - Ayoub Maroc followed Unite through the chase also gaining 5 positions from grid,that's his 8th top5 finish.

VOD at Youtube:


With this RGE action takes break of 2 weeks between it's hosted events - next up on schedule is 295th RTFR,which will be run with one of the street legal cars,which and where you can find out when watching the recording of livestream. Through the break RGE will finish preperations for next yearly league - AWS is planned to start exactly 1 week before the legendary derby event,full info and signups should be posted 2 weeks before the season 12 starts.

1£ for extra skin slots is still a bargain compared to iRacing subscription fees.

Quote from johneysvk :

you can buy skin slots with lfs credit, 1£ for 25 additional slots

True!
