Incident on lap 58 involving M. Niitav (88), M. Kowalski (420), M. Schade (432): race incident.

Last 20 minutes of the race involving U. Belak (449), T. Korteniemi (260), M. Kowalski (420).
#420 was one lap behind #449 in first position and #260 in second position. #420 was faster, and you are allowed to unlap yourself. However, it is not allowed to make it impossible for other drivers to have a fair competition, whether that would be for the first, second or 15th place.

Chatting during, and using faul language after the race by M. Kowalski (420): chatting during the race is forbidden, also the use of 'Thanks' or 'Sorry'. Of course emotions can rise during and shortly after a race, but insulting other drivers is something that should never happen. Also (censored) repeating this on the forum is not a good thing to do, you should be calmed down by then. You can always be critical about someone, even if you are wrong, but don't use the f-word.

Penalties:
M. Kowalski (420):
Making fair competition impossible:
Official warning. Any misbehaviour of any kind will result in a 2 race exclusion.

Insulting other driver:
DNF points, instead of 91, awarded.


If people strongly disagree with any of the above, I ask them to send me a PM and use this thread for other discussions. The race seemed very close for a lot of drivers

I think you mean maps like this:



The S1's are on the lfs website, but no S2 tracks yet. I have a few S2 maps in PSD-path format if you want, but only from the longest track configs.

Hello racers,

a few racers currently in the season have not raced in any event yet and are also not responding to emails (I wont call names, but maybe they wake up if they happen to read this). Since we want full grids we might replace those people with new racers. This could happen as soon as this weekend (so the new racers can join the Blackwood race and are still in for the championship).

The racers that drove pre-qualification will be selected above people who didn't, but other people are also welcome (e.g. if you were on holiday during the pre-qual).

The new racers are however not allowed to form a team with someone who is already in the season and already in a team.

There will be around 5 places, so if you are interested send a PM to me quickly!

Addition:

Because quite a significant racers made a last minute decision not to compete in this season we will allow racers to form new teams. Before the season I did say that we would not allow this, but the situation at the moment is so, that if we dont allowe new teams, we might end up with 8 cars in the team event.

So everyone please contact me using a PM if you want to team up with a driver that is currently teamless. Do remember that we will not allow switching back or another team move, we do want to keep some consistency in the season.

Also there are still enough places available, so please do apply!

Maybe you can even make some old box work as a mic. If it is small enough and you give it a good bang, it should produce some signal that can be interpreted by your teammate

Its dutch, but as you can see its only 3.65 euro for a headset I guess the total amount of food and drinks you consume during a 6 hour race is even more.

Omg, whats that sound? I really cant make any out of it

Yeh, as long as it can transmit 'PITING NOW!' it should be alright

Yes, go to the season-race selection page. Then select Westhill, select any division. Above the race results you should see a link 'download replay'. 2 hours is a long watch tho, if you have to be camera director yourself

Quote from bobvanvliet :

Ah, bus schmus. In Utrecht (Netherlands) we have buses with two hinges :

http://www.gvu.nl/content/imgs/bussen/GVU907-03.jpg

Fancy getting those around a tight chicane.

Those bus drivers are hero's \o/

Dont praise me now, next season might be all different. The only reason for not having the wind option now is the fact that we are mid-season, and I have enough stuff on my (endurance)mind, for example the people that signed up but never raced with us so far. I know a few of them are not on holiday, so those people are asked to send me some PM or email.

No wind, we will have some changes next season, but right now we stick with the no wind option.

Quote from bobvanvliet :

I had an idea for the exact same skin today... Not necessary anymore I think .

Here's my FZR, currently the only Rubber Ducky Racing member around, so if you see a multi-coloured streak, its me! I really like my flag and name on the door, think it's a nice detail and reality touch.

I see you have a tudelft logo at the rear wing, what study are you following if I am allowed to ask? Aerospace by any chance?

The hotswap option will be used. I guess the moments that 15 cars are in the pits at once, all wanting to swap drivers are rare, so 8 slots free is enough.

Ok, qualification results are up. They are however not final. I will contact the people who didnt turn up in the 2 events so far. If they are not planning to race any of the upcoming races they will be removed from the pool. Everyone who cant race is also asked to send me a PM

The first Kyoto one will be GP Long, I dont know about the Aston venues though. At least of one them will be long or historic.

I like the skin, but I think the 3M logo is a bit out of size and color. Maybe put a nice curvy blue or black logo there?

Render is ok tho

Hehe, nice... I love calvin & hobbes...

"My brain always rejects attitude transplants..."

You are sure you arent forgetting to type /insim=29999 in lfs?

I didnt make them shiny, but I admit less shiny also looks very good

25000*25000 resolution or just a lot of light option stuff?

I believe the large endufull.jpg file took 1 hour, dunno how much time the black and white FZR cost.

You could make it with insim... dunno if you can send a message to lfs that only the connected user can see...

Otherwise it would be possible, I just dunno if it is really of any use... maybe on your first lap.

Large version of the above scene:

Stand up speak up FZR:

Renders are done by Rob, the skins are done by me and xrroy.

I noticed that too (also in previous long races) and I think that the reason for less mistakes actually is the changing conditions. In S1 a race of 60 minutes felt very long because nothing changed, so you would easily get in autopilot-mode. Now you have to think about your tyres and fuel usage, so it's less auto-pilot. This makes you more aware thus less mistakes.
I dont have a clue if it will also work like that with wind.

Because people DNF'ed in higher divisions.
