Hooo it sounds like I have missed something ...and I had made a great set for it, but you were finished when I got home from work GRRRRR...

Congrats to bOrn for an other win!!

Working as hard as I can to make sure I can race tonight, fingers crossed!

Quote from Worm :

Yes I agree !

An endrurance league with TBO would be awesome.
We have always GTR ! or GT2 and even GT3 maybe in moe now....
But still GTR.

Something like MOE with TBO will be GOOD !

I am a bit too busy with work now, but as soon as I have some time I'd like to start a brain storm on this, of course to get such a league to MoE level would take a lot of dedication and maybe some cooperation between 2 or 3 teams...
also I ''need'' to get EQ Worry motivated to finally add endurance support to airio, tracker is good to handle the time out but it would be so much easier for the drivers to be aware of their positions on the track...

To be continued...

Quote from PMD9409 :

In that case (all talked about, and is okay to do so) we will use the NDR server.

Server: NDR.GTAL 2011
Date: October 28, 2010
Time: 19:00 UTC

19:00 UTC - 10 minute Qualifying
19:15 UTC - 1 hour race.

If enough people show up, I might try to plan these each round.

I think it is a good idea, tho as I see the race calendar Wednesdays before the races would be more appropriate for us since we run our series on Thursdays...for next time of course

Nice to see this topic back to actuality!

I am trying my best to avoid TBO atm, been sooo addicted I don't know how to drive other cars any more ....

Of course it is impossible for me to stay away for long, TBO offered me the most intensive races I ever had in LFS, so it is a bit like a drug you can't give up completely...and I love TBO ppls!

I think sprint racing is not really the best way to enjoy TBO, first 10 laps are too often hell on the tires side, but they are lovely after 15 laps and even better after 1:30h...we've tried 24h in June, loved it, so I am thinking about doing more endurance with them now and maybe organize some!

Hi, working like crazy atm and I was away for a couples of days, of course the password has been sent to me on sunday, meaning that my team mates couldn't qualify in the first session....are we allowed to do the second session only?

I can confirm that Genuine racing is going to race this weekend, I will post the drivers here tonight or tomorrow (too many drivers want to do it, so I have to pick the best ones first).

plz tell me if there is a problem I am not aware off?

I will change the team leader to avoid more of those in the future...sorry!

First of all THX to NDR organisers for the race last night, I think it was well organized, great job guys! (must have been stressful with the servers crashing on Saturday)

It was a bad show from us, been pretty busy lately and I saw the email that we had to race the test event Saturday afternoon (Personal note: I had promised to my wife a weekend without LFS lol ) which gave us very little time for training and setup, we had two sets for the race r2/r2 and r2/r3 and decided to play save, of course we forgot about the eventuality of safety car which was a drama for the r3's in the back. Aerox was complaining to have lost grip completely with no apparent damages to the car (F10), so he pitted (tires and fuel, no repair) to give the wheel over to Matty who was very surprised to get an undrivable car under braking, he missed a couples of corners and had to do an extra pit to repair damages, we think the spoiler was almost touching the ground which would explain the problem under braking and why aerox had lost the grip after the safety car...I took over for the last 30min, there was no point in pushing, so I just cruised till the safety car came out again and gave me a chance to gain a few places.

Anyway that's racing and we had fun , THX to everyone for a fair race!

Same, 205 and 208 down!

Hello, here is our confirmation for tomorrow:

Team name: Genuine Racing
Number: 70?
Cars: FZ2
Drivers:
Framaris, F. Maris, France
Mattydread, M. Lonneville, France
A3rox, J. Schein, Belgium

Quote from N I K I :

Happy birthday Fram, shame you couldnt race.

THX mate, yes it was a shame I couldn't, so now I have to play catch up!

Sorry to everyone, I had a major pc crash last week (PSU and Velocyraptor dead), I have posted the result of last week on the official topic on our forum (late) and forgot to update this topic too, so if you have missed it check it out here: http://www.ready2rollteam.com/ ... wtopic.php?f=44&t=772

Note: I have asked racer for protests to be notified in the official topic, since none have been made, I have not check the all replay for every single actions...

Tonight the race is TBO at SO5R, have fun!

Track for TBO next week will be SO5R!

Tomorrow it is Gt2's opening race on KY3R, you can display the restrictions by typing !cars, it is a long track so make sure to train a minimum!
lfs://join=%26%20R2R%20GEN%20GT2

During the races you can disable airio messages by typing !silent...

On a personal note, I should have been going to Magny Cours today, but I hurt my back enough to keep me at home for my birthday, so I'll be trying to finish and score some points tomorrow...with very little training

Have fun!

Airio needs to spec everyone a couples of times to get the grid sorted, When airio spec us the last time 30sec before start, the first 15sec ppls in !ss get the message JOIN NOW, in the last 15sec ppls not in !ss are able to join and fill the grid, it goes by joining order, so you were probably first or second to do so ...

Also note that we should all join the track and wait for start, going back to pit in that moment would put you in the back for sure, and if you're qualified in !ss make sure to join in the first 15sec...

Plz use the official topic on our site for questions like this, we are trying to keep everything there so that everyone can see situations when things goes wrong...I understand it is quite confusing in the beginning, keep in mind that the no telepit rule is valid till the start of the race, only when everyone is set to spectate automatically the lap time will remain in !ss

Your's is a clear case of spectating from track:
10.09.23 19:55:15 #2 C52P33 jorisp - Lap 2 : 0:59.83
10.09.23 19:56:50 #2 C52P33 jorisp - CG™»JoeY : AA™| Frozeni - :-)
10.09.23 19:57:10 #2 CG™»JoeY pitted
10.09.23 19:57:10 #2 C52P33 jorisp - Pitting...
10.09.23 19:57:10 #2 /spec CG™»JoeY
10.09.23 19:57:11 #2 C52P33 jorisp - Leaving race...
10.09.23 19:57:11 #2 C52P33 jorisp - Clearing session data...

We'll test it now!

Quote from zeugnimod :

Please stay at SO, though.

We will, I think SO1 is probably a bit small, we'll already visit so4, so maybe So5/r ?

Quote from N I K I :

I got to say this part of the race was more fun for me than the last part when I got to race Framaris. (Yes close racing and two or was it three times position changes were fun) In the first part I was chasing Isaac, but when I cought him up he pitted and after I pitted I was miles ahead. I was hoping to have tires finally cooled off, but instead they went up to 90C as I was pushing so hard to match Fram's FXO. In the end I just couldn't match him anymore, but he failed with fuel or something so I got my 2nd place back.

Well same for me mate, all was fine I was pacing my self like in the training, but you pitted early and when I came out from mine and I saw you behind, I was wtf hey niki ...the two next laps I managed to finish my tires and couldn't get then under 83 any more...but I saw you had trouble with exit and I had with entry, so it was pretty equal...of I know handling hot tires on XRT needs a lot more talent than FXO, but you have that much on me... somewhere before the end I pressed the windows key and got a short look at my desktop, damn niki back on my bumper, then one lap before the end I checked the fuel, quick math told me I was missing 0.3 to finish and the extra pit needed gave you back second...thought I was happy to limit damages with third!

Like I expected many would have variable paces and it did make the race interesting, GRATS TO ALL THE FINISHERS!

Quote from zeugnimod :

That was a lot of fun and 6th is way better than I could have hoped for. Already looking forward to the race in 2 weeks.

BTW, I think there can be only 16 cars on the track at SO2, IIRC. So will only the 16th fastest get to race there?

Ouch, you're right Zeug, I'll be checking the replay from yesterday and I'll change the track for next race...I guess they didn't expect that many ppls that soon ...

Finishing should always be priority number one in any kind of racing, and in this series you always score 1 point minimum if you do..and since many don't it is often much more...There is a French guys named Cayenne who always race this series, he's quite slow but very consistent and finish all his races, he almost always manage to put himself in the top 5...collecting points others don't want!

Never give up!

Tonight we have the first official race, I first thought AS1/tbo would be a bad combo, but in a longer race format it looks much more interesting than I expected, the hard part will be to find the right pace for the tires in the beginning of the race, specially for FXO/RB4...I can promise you an eventful race with variable paces for everyone, speed and luck will not be enough...could even be that some will have to change tires to regain some pace...could be an exiting one!

Make sure to do some laps before!

Have fun!

BIG THX to the 29 racers who join us for the test race yesterday!

I think we can say the test went well and the config was very consequent!

The only thing which still a bit difficult for some to understand is the qualification system, so keep one thing in mind:
DO NOT PIT/SPEC FROM TRACK DURING QUALIFICATION!
Go back to pit till you see the message in the chat saying that you can pit/spec...only then your time will be saved in !ss.
Any telepitting from track during quali will remove you any time you have in !ss and you will have join in the back...
If quali finishes before you completed your outlap, stay on the track till the system spec you, time should/will remain in !ss

The idea behind this is to remove the telepitting which is an arcade element! also like in real life, you have to go fast, but you also have to preserve the car....

Also 30sec before the race everyone is set to spectator, the first 15sec is for racers who have a quali time in !ss, they have priority and get a message JOIN NOW, join when you see the message and stay on track, do not pit again or you will join in the back. The last 15 sec is for the racers without an !ss time, they join when the message JOIN NOW appears...

Holala, I see I have made a big mistake here , quali start at 18:30 UTC....or 20:30 Dutch time!

Also note that UTC time is not reliable here as it will change during the series, so maybe server time would be more appropriate, which is quali at 19:30!

No password during quali, server will be made private just before the race, so if you there before there is no problem, password will be necessary for the ones who want to come and watch (in silence)...

Quote from jorisp :

How do I sign up for this ?

Hi and thx for your interest in the Dailycious Series, it is an open Series for which you don't need to register, but make sure to be on time for the quali because the server will be made private automatically before the race, it is not possible to join the race after the start.
Thursday I will post a password (in our forum) for the racers who like to come and watch the race, of course no chat allowed if you do so...

Also note that the competition level is quite good and many will train quite a bit before each race, so join them and make sure you're ready for it!
To avoid surprises, Join us for the test race on Wednesday to learn the rules and procedures....

This is all about friends racing with friends and having fun. Please treat all drivers, whether you know them or not, as you would one of your best friends in LFS racing.
Just as importantly, please give all drivers the same dignity and respect that you feel you yourself deserve.

Hi everyone, we're back for an other round!

Introduction
First, welcome and thank you for your interest in Genuine Racing’s dailycious series. This series is designed especially for friends to race with friends in a slightly more formal atmosphere, experiencing longer and more challenging race events with a series perspective.

As always the Dailycious Series is an open series, so no registration is required to participate!

In part4 there will be 14 races, 7xTBO and 7xGT2, both will have their own classifications and podiums, but in order to win the all series you’ll have to race the 2 categories because both will be added in a third classification (TBO+GT2). This time we are going to revisit part1’s rules, meaning that you will have to complete an out lap in quail to validate lap time and race will have a pit window. Seems like everyone is waiting for the patch , so we’ll have only one race per week, one week with the TBO’s on & R4R GEN TBO server and the other with the GT2’s on & R2R GEN GT2 server.

Events will be every Thursday’s (starting September 23th and ending December 23th)
Quali: 19:30 UTC (20min) (19:30 server time..type !now in chat on the servers)
Race: 20:00 UTC (40min+1lap with pit) (20:00 server time..type !now in chat on the servers)

GT2 combo's: KY3R, AS3, SO4R, FE4, WE1R, BL1R, AS4R
TBO combo's: AS1, SO5R, FE2, KY2, SO4, AS2, BL1

Official topic: http://www.ready2rollteam.com/ ... wtopic.php?f=44&t=772

Procedures

PR-1: There is no “Tele-Pitting” allowed during qualifying or race session in the Dailycious Series. Tele-Pitting is when you are on the track and click Shift-P or Esc/Pit. The purpose of disallowing “tele-pitting” is to create a more realistic racing atmosphere.

PR-1.a: The qualifying grid will be maintain in a different table which you can check at any time with typing !ss in chat box. You must perform an out lap, the number of hot laps you desire to run and a full in lap, returning to pit lane in order to complete your qualifying session. Tele-Pitting from the track will always result in the loss of any time you have recorded now or previously, this period starts with the quali and ends when the race starts!.. Once in pit lane, you may pit or join the spectators without penalty (a message will be displayed). You may go back on track to improve your quail time, but always make sure to go back to pit to validate your lap.


PR-1.b: Race. Tele-pitting at any time during the race is treated as the equivalent of you pulling your car from the event. In the case of an accident, you must either continue or drive back to pit lane for service as required. Should your car become stuck or so badly damaged that you are unable to continue, you will be removed to spectator.

PR-2: Timed Out. If for some reason you are “timed out” or otherwise disconnected from the server we unfortunately must treat that situation as a “did not finish” or DNF.

PR-3: Pitting during race will be done with in a pit window and no work will be required (free to chose), opens 10min after the start and closes 10min before the end (from minute 10 till minute 30). If you crash before the pit opens, you are allowed to pit for repairs, but you will have to pit again during the pit window. If you missed the pit window and pit too late you will be disqualified.

Race Calendar:
Sept 23th: TBO/AS1 on & R4R GEN TBO
Sept 30th: GT2/KY3R on & R2R GEN GT2
Oct 7th: TBO/SO5R on & R4R GEN TBO
Oct 14th: GT2/AS3 on & R2R GEN GT2
Oct 21th: TBO/FE2 on & R4R GEN TBO
Oct 28th: GT2/SO4R on & R2R GEN GT2
Nov 4th: TBO/KY2 on & R4R GEN TBO
Nov 11th: GT2/FE4 on & R2R GEN GT2
Nov 18th: TBO/SO4 on & R4R GEN TBO

Have fun!

Great little video!! Looks like it has been an epic race, congrats guys!!

I've tried a touch screen for a couples of days, after two days my shoulders started to hurt and I was using the mouse and kb most of the time. I think unless you want to make some kind of remote control they are pretty useless for home users. I also didn't like the dirty screen all the time, forget about eating chips behind your pc ....

Good luck!
