Some extended stats:

Qualifying

Race 1

Race 2

GreyBull, well, I've answered your teammate after I finished making the grid, that I cannot give password until race finish. There is no poing having it, if I give it to anybody. Server was passworded exactly to prevent people from joining and creating massive lags - its fatal during the race... Sorry

With the passworded server the race went much smoother, than the qualify, but it's still not good. I will surely try to find a new server for the next race and try set it to allow setting restriction for the cars...

And I have no idea why you think there should be a third race... I've said that it is 2x9 laps races, as it says in the first post: 2x25 min races.. But it's actually 2x30 min...

Yes, the next race is already today 17:30 UTC!
The track will be known few minutes before the qualification start (approx. 17:25 UTC).
It will be either BL1 or AS6 - the only tracks left.

One more thing for the next race is that you won't be able to join the server after the qualify finish, if you are late. It is done to prevent lags caused by connecting players. But if you still want to join second race - you can do it after the finish of the first race and before the start of the second. It will be about 18:40-18:50 UTC.
You can also see the race progress and know if the race ended through LFS Remote: http://www.lfsworld.net/remote ... SPEC.RRT+Battle+Zone+%231

xtraction, sorry mate... It's a very harsh thing with this timezones.. I tried to make it suitable for most people, but it's impossible I think..
Last race there were people from Vladivostok (time zone UTC+11, about 5 o'clock in the morning!), Tomsk (UTC+7) and other various parts of Russia, Europe and even North America.

As you can see, it's still to early for many Europeans and too late for many Russians. And I can't really think of anything to compensate it in any way...

Just watched race1 replay for him... Well, I have to say that he's not that bad, as you describing him...
He's making many mistakes on the corner enters, misses many brakings, but, as far as i can tell, he is considerate of others and he know what blue flag is...

Of course, this is bad when you get your race ruined by some newbie who can't drive straight, but things happen, not always the good ones....

But still, I will try to get his contact info and speak to him about that...

You can see download replays on spdoracing, if you haven't saved them yourself.

Also, the whole point of this funraces and the difference between serious leagues is that you don't need to practice much to participate (you don't even know the track) and you don't need to be fast. It is made for everyone to have fun. Of course, total jerks who drifts off the corners and spoiling on the fun for the others will be banned. But mostly we welcome newbies and want them to learn how to drive in organised long (well, at least 2-3 times longer that typical pickup races) races with some good drivers in it, so they can improve their skill much more faster.

Here's race results: http://www.spdoracing.com/eventdb/event/2213/results

I want to apologise again for the problems with the server, because of that race start was postponed for 50 minutes. That problems never happened before and will never happen again!
Thanks for everyone who stayed with us till the end.
And sorry for those who left, all we have left is just to hope that you are not very much disappointed with it and will give us another chance... So hope to see you next week

Kamo, about your accident... Well, it is not something special. Coca cola just made a mistake on the braking, so he went fly on the tires. You just were wrong time in the wrong place... He's just a newbie. Actually, it's first time I see this name online, he'll learn... (8

Here's the screenshot...

I am very sorry. There was a problem in my system so it's only my fault.
This will not happen again.
The race is postponed till 19.00 UTC.

The track will be FE4 !

Don't forget that the next Fun Race is already today! 17:30 UTC! Don't miss it! ^^

Replays and results can be found here

The track will be..... SO1, 34 laps

If someone forgot - I must remind you that today is Thursday and that today will be the second race.

The track will be known only at 17:30 UTC, but you can come early and practice on our server.

Don't forget that qualify starts at 17:30 UTC, see you there!

Server - A-SPEC.RRT Battle Zone #1

Don't forget that you can train on A-SPEC.RRT Battle Zone #1 in any time of week.
All possible configurations of cars and tracks are running on the server, and change every 4 races!

Mitz said that this is possible, so here is the code.

Track and number of laps will be determined before qualify start.

If races are popular, more rounds will be added

A-SPEC.FunRace EveryWeek (you can tag it A-SPEC)

FunRace Season 2

Replays are avaliable from topic linked above but I can also upload myself.


And one question: will the first event count if it has already passed?

First week results:


Qualify

Race 1

Race 2

The track will be AS3! 2 races 14 laps!

Event will be held on A-SPEC.RRT Battle Zone #1 server.
The password will be set before the start of the race, so random people joining would not create unwanted lags. So try to be there at least at the end of practice warm-up (by its results starting grid will be formed).

First race is already tomorrow! 25th February! Starts at 17:30 UTC

• Car class - TBO (for FXO 2% intake restriction, +30 kg)
  
• Track - random*!!!(selected before the practice start, rally and oval excluded, repeating not possible)
  
• Wind - always LOW!!!
  
• Warm-up - 17:30 (UTC), will be held for 30 minutes, so everybody who wants to race would not be late to the race start
  
• Race - 18:10 (UTC)
  
• Two races approx. 25 minutes each, in second race top8 is reversed
  
• Server - Apex Cup
  

A little about track selecting: using application OpenOffice.org Writer table with list of lfs tracks was created, without ovals or rallycross. It was printed and then cut with scissors to a lot of tracks. Then it was all upside down and mixed, and I randomly pulled out the names of tracks (without looking, of course), which would be used for the first 5 races.

*first five FunRaces will be held on AS3, SO1, AS6, FE4, BL1 - in random order. If the races are popular, we will continue with the rest of the tracks!

To train and get used to the tracks, A-SPEC.RRT Battle Zone #1 server is set up, configured for you to use. There will be this 5 combos. Join and have fun training

omg its you again @_@

Hello,

It seems that I've found a bug with lfs cutting a shadow of a car...

Screen:

How can I use cyrillic here: http://gyazo.com/babac35cb4c53d340b8910dfd8a45bed.png ?
Or here (restart message): http://gyazo.com/c0219068cb51a8345cb9bb7bbc70cb7c.png

Tried to add ^C ahead of the line - no help.

Should I replace all the files to upgrade? Or just replace .exe ?

Hello. Its a small issue, however, could you look into it?
Cyrillic server name showed with wrong characters.


And here it has just |||||| instead of proper name.

Thanks in advance
