From 2 powerful cars we'll reduce the power drastically and race something with 250cc engine that delivers just 15 horsepower. And together with this car we'll use Westhill's Karting National track for the first ever time in reverse direction and also run there a car that's made for tracks like this - a proper karting machine named after a known team in LFS. The kart has a cetrifugal clutch and a single gear - that's also a first time in Race Green Events history. By not having a lot of settings to change,this race will be decided basically by skillset for such specific vehicle.

IMPORTANT: To avoid possible stuck cars,Jam's app will be connected to server on race day,where you can use command ;turn to turn your kart 90° leftwards!

After a late report,the behaviour of driver "§outh," was monitored through whole race - the driver showed very agressive attitude towards competition,not being shy of contacts and left the legal track limits deliberatelly several times,including advantage gained through cut that led to gained position on backstraight.

* PENALTIES :
§outh, - receives 45 seconds penalty added to his finish time for multiple incidents and multiple track limits violations. Future misconducts will lead to disqualification or even race ban.

During the 11.5 years and 284 races RTFR never hosted an RB4 race in a standard configuration of Westhill - until this week. And as always it pushed the LFS's tyres to it's limits,as RB4 is well known to be heavy on the rubber,especially in such relativelly high speed road course Westhill International is. With 27 drivers this was the 2nd most attended race using RB4 in RTFR history - first being the 1st ever broadcasted RTFR race at the start of previous year,which featured the round number of 40 drivers attending,one less standing on grid though.

4 events or 8 weeks ago Fragmasters representative Fatal celebrated his 1st ever RTFR race win,this week he doubled the amount of these - he was the 2nd driver to beat the 2:18 laptime mark in qualifying,catched the early leader soon after half way mark and set the fastest lap on the race on the 1st lap he led fully to score also his 2nd fastest lap of the race,this win was also the 14th top5 finish for the current 10 race rating leader. The 5th most successful driver in RTFR history R.Kardol returned after 4 events break and rallied up to 2nd position starting from 6th row,scoring his 59th top5 finish. In the qualifying Onur scored his own and also his country's 1st ever pole position in RTFR with his 15th try,but could lead 8 laps in the race before losing lead,later losing another position to finish just 3rd,still that's his 4th top5 finish. Unite rounded up his top5 count to 60 by finishing 4th in this race,but another finn Arska closed the top5 scoring his 18th top5 finish.

There are currently no plans for next tuesday,but another edition of the testing RTFR-CCCC might be spontaniously put together - time will tell what will happen. But sure is that in 2 weeks RTFR will host it's 6th and last "off-season" race before starting the 2nd points scored season of 2022 - this race will be run with one of the standard LFS cars using slick tyres,more details about the event as always in the weekend before the race.

4 weeks after the torturing 300 kilometer race,also a pack of bike riders made the support roads of Westhill raceway unsafe - riding on relativelly powerful 2-wheeled machines with very low weight gives the chance to reach high speeds quickly,some of them were exceeding 300 kilometers per hour mark. But having just 2 contact patches to the ground in size of a tennis ball made these machines rather slow in turns - that is a well known trait of motorcycles and also this is where the skill of riders comes in the play. Since the addition of bikes in LFS is rather new,not many have evolved their skills good enough to finish this tricky 11 kilometer course without falling,hence there was not much competition for win.

The lithuanian Simox was the one to beat in this event - first he tried his own built Chimera,but later switched to the MotoGP-like NTZ,with which he set the best time of the whole event,just under 4 minutes and 40 seconds,averaging speed through the course of just below 145km/h. His Chimera time was also the best from all trying this bike,but just a small bit slower than event's 2nd place owners time - a rider naming himself by well known south african business man Elon Musk. Also he rode the NTZ during his best attempt,just like the 3rd place finisher Foch.

Just 5 different bikes reached the finish line of a run - there were few tries with few others,but none of them rode full 11.19 kilometers to get in the finishers list. A total of 12 riders are scored in race results as they completed the course at least once,while there were 2 others who were not successful. Between the less successful bikes were the older MotoGP type bike TSR500 (fastest was 4th place finisher Badmantru),superbike class Vulcan (12th place) and a simple 150cc road motorcycle Mosquito. The trend was quite clear - despite not having an evolved riding skill,most participants opted for powerful machines and spent a lot of time getting up from falls instead taking something slower and simpler to complete the course without falling.

With this the new very experimental event is concluded. It is very likely that we will try a 2nd edition of this event next year (probably around 3-4 weeks after the traditional Westschleife event again) and the first ideas for it is to keep time trial format,but run 2 laps instead a single circle,allowing rather superbike class machines and other road legal 2-wheeled motorcycles,but ban the full race spec bikes like MotoGP class machines. This is of course subject to change as we have almost 1 year to plan things out - it depends of the input of participants.

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!

With 30 participants this turned out to be the most attended RTFR XL race when using FZR - the car set also a record of being the most used car in the event series by being selected for the 6th time,but it was the 1st visit in Kyoto. The combo is pretty much known in community as there have been plenty of various length races,including a recent 6h race,where the FZR are was not very popular in car selection though.

Seems like Kyoto has received a big load of bananas,as some monkey took most of the glory from this race - he started 8th and needed just 10 laps to reach top of the field,leading the last 25 laps of the 34 laps race. The monkey originally hailing from jungle of Finland scored his 4th win (he's the 5th driver to achieve this amount) and on the way to victory lane scored also his 4th fastest lap of the race,while it was his 12th top5 finish. The lithuanian Mantas joined this event just for the 2nd time and already scored his 1st pole position. Ironically he was no able to lead the race for long,as he lost his lead in 1st turn and never regained it,still finishing 2nd,which is 7 positions better than his previous attempt. 3rd place finisher Goszki had even less experience in RTFR XL - none,he qualified 6th and halved his position number during the race to finish 3rd. Fatal finished 4th scoring his 6th top5 finish and Pablo closed the top5 with his 2nd top5 entry,also in row.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Between 4 cars used in RTFR XL for 5 races,FZR was the least attended. This race helped to improve car's average attendace enough to pass the closest rival LX4 and take 13th position in overall chart.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
Despite not completing full race distance,Doni still gets classified in final results as 21st place finisher and with this is legal "winner" of this mention as his pitstop was just 0.04s over minimum requirement and with it the shortest legal pitstop,no other driver did a shorter pitstop than 11 seconds as the combo required at least refuelling,while most drivers selected to take a set of new tyres too.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Ayoub Maroc qualified in low 24th place,started 23rd and finished 8th to score a 15 positions gain during the race - 5 more than 2nd best positions gainer.

VOD at Youtube:


Combo for the 68th RTFR XL has been selected relativelly quick and it will be the repeat of 1st ever 40 participants race in normal RTFR - the celebratory 100th RTFR running XFG at back then brand new Westhill's National configuration. That race will be 37 laps long and will take place in 9th august. But as always already next week we'll go back to the 30+min RTFR,where one of the street legal cars will be run. More info as always this weekend.

Here's your solution: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/98972
Good luck in competition!

LFS has now it's own tweaker,which is free for all S3 licence holders.

I recall there was a discussion from him in LFS discord server. I did not read everything through,but seems like he had his answers there.

No,there is nothing. Why exactly nothing has been developed to give AI opportunity to learn new tracks has to be answered by Scawen himself - he knows the process behind the scenes,I just know what is currently possible and what is not.

The .knw files can be generated ONLY in standard LFS tracks,no open configs,no custom layouts. So your best chance for straight line is the 400m (1/4 mile in your weird currency ) drag strip or Aston/Kyoto/Westhill long straights.

Event's MPR file attached. Seems like something wrong with timing as some times are missing (possible due mods or change of bike). Still the best time will count in official final results.
Edit: After checking whole replay,no results were missing from ingame results table,it was just my lack of awareness as I was busy with starters release and some drivers kinda running but never finishing a run.

In this RTFR race we used one of the new candidates for the LFS GTR class - the 70HP more powerful LSV 12. This was also the 1st ever RTFR race with a car having an engine with more than 8 cylinders as the LSV has 12 of them. With little setting up few drivers using the extra power could beat the FZR's world record in this track - 7 did it in qualifying,6 - in race. Also this race registered the 4th repeat of highest ever race leaders count - 4 (last previous time with 4 leaders was in 205th RTFR,just over 3 years ago),ironically the polesitter was not between them.

The 3-time racewinner Altsu scored his 7th pole position in his return after longer break,but lost lead before entering 1st turn and further mishaps put him down the order,later recovering himself up to 7th position in finish. Unite took over race lead in lap 10 and kept it until finish line to become 8th driver with 10 or more race wins,scoring his 22nd fastest lap of the race on the way,it was also his 59th top5 finish,breaking his tie for 3rd most of these. Ohnifus led 3 laps before being passed by race winner,but kept at least 2nd place in results,which is 2 positions better than his only other top5 finish,also his 5th place in qualifying was improvement over previous best,but just by a single position. Current 10 race rating leader Fatal also led a lap in this race,but finished in 3rd position,scoring his 13h top5 finish,Goszki broke into top5 for the first time in this event series,previous only other finish was 8th position. Doni closed the top5 and scored his 12th top5 finish.

Next week we'll return to LFS standard GTR cars - in the next RTFR XL is the FZR on the line to be raced in the other standard Kyoto road course config Kyoto GP Long,using the Boothy chicane adjustment on the fast chicane leading off the oval part. Full info will be posted and server will be set up tomorrow. But in 2 weeks in next normal RTFR it will be one of the street legal cars on the line again. With this the activity from RGE does not end this week,but the next event won't be using a 4-wheeled vehicle like all our previous events before - this sunday we will host our first ever motorcycle event,which will be run in time trial format. More info you can find out in the Race Green Westhill Tourist Trophy thread.

They should show up in shift+U mode when you click on "edit" on lower left of the screen. Spacebar switches between menu on/off. If that does not help,I'm clueless. Then you have to show some screenshots.

How to delete object - click on the dot of the object,press delete of your keyboard. Also you can use key D for distance measurements when placing objects.
Read lfs\docs\autocross.txt - might also be helpful. Or this: https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Autocross_Editor

Generally a nice car,but obviously unfinished - there are plenty of gaps where you can see through either ground or other car's parts. Also skin template is thrown together without caring as only one side is mapped (other probably mirrored) and there is something else going over the side part. Also engine should be transverse for a rear engined car with rear seats - currently part of an engine is an armrest for passengers in the rear of the car.
If these bugs gets sorted out,this car deffinitelly has a potential to become more than cruiser's transportation.
