Quote from J@tko :

Yes and yes btw gianni, just to check did u receive a confirmation e-mail after ur sign up?

Since my application mail I received one e-mail of my girlfriend, two e-mails for free viagra, one hair transplantation offer, four mails notifying me of my victory in an Italian and Korean lottery and one confirmation e-mail of GTAL administration to let me know that our application has been received in good health.



PS: I made a little typo on one of the names, I assume I can correct this later on with the "Round 1 confirmation line-up" ?

Q: Can the GTAL be moved to the NDR section ?
Q: Can the GTAL section otherwise be cleaned / pruned so only the 2010 Season topics are vissible ?

Application send... :turtle2:

Seven rounds might be a bit a lot, if changes would happen there I'd indeed skip one or maybe even two.

About the tracks; not much difference in rev or not.
Most combo's I haven't even raced on yet (not really little XFG - UF1 tracks like I'm used to race on ) so makes no difference in my eyes...

SO4R indeed sounds good.
Can the KY3 race be made KY3 Rev ?

Good updates further, bit sad about the split qualify but I can understand the motivation of doing so.

Bring on the test event

What?? SCCC, a 6 years old team without any experience in endurance, throwing a chance to get into the IGTC, in order to be 100% sure they'd get in the GTAL?

This was just to show to everyone, that this rule is destroying the IGTC's and the GTAL's grids, while endurance racing is struggling with the lack of interrest coming from the "historical" teams. I find it absolutely pathetic IMO.

SCCC is a mature and experienced team and we are acting like one. We have no endurance racing experience. Hence why we will follow the natural way of working ourselfs up in endurance racing by starting in GTAL. Being a 6-years-old team doesn't necessarily make us better than a just made team (extreme example: nFinity eSports).

If our first GTAL season goes well we'll soon be racing in IGTC. If not, then at least we're racing where we should be racing without diminishing anything of the high quality racing seen in IGTC and while contributing to a great organised league, like GTAL will undoubtfuly be, with our clean and mature racing.

Win-win for everyone, I hardly see why this "would be destroying IGTC"... I'd easily say au contraire!

Sincerely,

liveforspeed.es seems to be the place where all Spaniards hang around

And Tukko. So sign up with caution and keep your pants on...


(sorry, I just need to bash Tukko whenever possible :shy

Finally something I can win !


I'll try to compete though, good initiative.

One of the NDR leaders, preferable those doing the broadcast.
Or DeadWolfBones. Or Three Jump. Or AtomAnt. Or Orion. Or...

South City Caby Company withdraws its application to IGTC.
This in order to be completely sure to be able to compete in the GTAL.

Pardon me for bumping an old topic, but I just watched the replay of the 500 race and must say... very excellent broadcast . Much more enjoyable than a lot of other races on television, great job!

18 pages is not that much at all. Took me 10 minuts of reading after a 2 minute diagonal scope. A lot could indeed be put shorter or get skipped, but I see no need for that. Amateur league or not, I like and want a professional organisation. Rulebooks and briefings are also part of real life racing, just like they're part of LFS. I enjoyed seeing the first edition of the rulebook and being able to shape it, gives me envolvement in the leauge and joy; makes me looking forward to be able to race as professional as the big shots, in endurance style, but of course 5 seconds a lap slower .

Quote :

I just want to show up, qualify and race; not wait a week/a day between sessions! I like qualifying in that it's quite short and tense. 1 hour 45 mins of quali seems too much to me, if I'm honest. The half hour extreme sessions were more fun and also frustrating, which is what the league should be about; being absolutely on the edge of control but not over the edge. Giving the drivers nearly 2 hours to hotlap and smash into barriers isn't right; you might as well just take hotlaps from LFSW. It's too easy! Just my insight there.

I agree with the above quote. Qualifications just before the race is fun and less predictable. Not to mention it makes organising our (amateur endurance) teams a lot more easier ! It also allows for some better contact between the racers; most will show up a bit ealier for the qualify and then can chat a bit, mess around the track, ect... (eg. like in the latest IGTC event), followed up by a tense qualify, a little break and then a professional and undoubtful great endurance race!

Quote from Wilko868 :

Regarding the Blend lines, the first bold section regards pit entry, the second relates to pit exit.

That's what I was thinking, though I just asked to get it clear.
Thank you also (all) for clearing up the rest. I don't have any other questions or remarks standing so far.

Perhaps... it would be useful to do a little "test" event before Race 1 of the new season ? Get through the possible options; a red flag, a race start, getting back in formation behind a SC, ... ?

Quote :

XI.Pit Lane
1. During green flag conditions, the pit lane shall remain open and pits tops may be made freely.
a. The entry lane as marked by the yellow or white line is a guideline to which no penalty will be enforced for cutting. Exceptions may be listed on certain courses in the Drivers’ Briefing thread prior to a round.
b. You may use any currently open pit stall for your pitstop. Travel to the
furthest stall down to reduce risk of collisions in pit lane.
c. Do not re-enter the track until the yellow or white line ends, or other further markings by race administration. Crossing this line may result in a drivethrough penalty.

Can this be cleared up please ? I have my idea of what it means, but somehow I find it a bit unclear mentioned (as being new to such strict and official regulations :razz.

Quote :

I still think in shift P or S should be utterly banned unless so directed by race admin. It has no place in a serious league.

I agree, if you get stuck or you crash your car so badly that you can't return to the pits for repairs (once in pitlane shift+p can be used of course) then your qualify session ends.

-
Is the mandatory use of IRC really required ? I know of future to come situations where in my team only the racer will be online at given moments due to real life issues for the other racers which can not be active behind the computer.

Quote :

VII. Qualification Procedure
1. Each race weekend shall have two qualifying sessions. The fastest time of the
two sessions will be taken to set the grid.
a. Session One shall be held from 20:00 UTC on the Sunday Preceding the race.
and shall run for sixty (60) minutes.
b. Session Two shall be held from 20:00 UTC on the Friday preceding the race
and shall run for forty-five (45) minutes.
2. A maximum of two (2) drivers from a team may take part in the two sessions.
There shall be only one driver per team on course at any given time.
3. During qualifying, teams may tele-pit or spectate at will and rejoin the session.
4. There is no limit to the amount of laps that may be driven during qualification.

What's the motivation behind having the qualify on two different dates ? Why can't it be done on race day itself (eg. like in IGTC) ?

-
Is doing both qualify sessions mandatory ? Are there penalties for missing a session ?

Sincerely,

The "A" is in bold and should not be in bold. So far no other errors spotted.

You can mostly draw a glowing circle, then blur it and erase the lines that go over the wheels.

I'll give that a try, thanks.

Quote from GianniC :

Good news again coming out of our South City HQ: SCCC has a new racing server. Currently we're trying a month testing period for the server, so all you folks are welcomed to race on it. We'll be organising some events soon as well to test the heavy load and durability of the server. Much thanks to AtomAnt.

The Adress: Active SCCC Server

The Dresscode: Fun, Fair and Fast racing.

Currently we do not have any fancy plugins installed, but we'll get that sorted out soon. We'll install a few plugins but really nothing too much or annoying. We're there for racing, not to get spammed with pointless info.

No Admin will be present for 24/7. Fair racing is thé most important aspect of SCCC, but we can not monitor the server 24/7. Therefor we'd like to do a call for you all: if someone is misbehaving (cursing, wrecking, ...) please save the replay and send it in a private message to GianniC. We'll review it asap and take correct action.

The combo can be decided by the racers themselfs and we at SCCC will now and then change the combo as well. Currently we'll start with the som fun to race combo's and short race lenghts. Though you'll also be able to expect some less usual combo's on your server (LX6 someone?) or some endurance type lenghted races.

Other comments or feedback are welcomed here, on our forum or in GianniC's inbox.

Have a great time !

Little update: Server is now renamed to "SCCC Open Server".
Not sure why, but it was the divine will of AtomAnt, so that's how it will be!

:bowdown:

"Active SCCC Server" is from now on also hosting the upcoming OLFSL combo. Race lenghts of 10 laps, no qualify. Good for training, not only in being fast, but also in getting some passing experience.

Q: How do you make those organge heated brakes ?
I'd love to be able to make them for this picture:

What car(s)/track(s) are used, and what is the lenght on the races?

Cars used at the moment of writing is GTR and KY GP Long Rev (in training for the upcoming OLFSL race) with short race lenght. But if a Cabbie is online he can and will edit the server on request of the present racers. Feel like racing LX6 and FE Black ? No problem! Want to spend next saturday racing FXO at SO Town only and nothing else ? No problem, send us a note upfront, we'll set the server and bring some friends with you! We'll also have some endurance training events for the GTAL and IGTC soon, we might make those events "public" to please people their endurance feelings. All tracks and all cars are open for useage (but not all at same time of course).

That's currently how we'll do it; nicely oldskool .

Race was dull once again. I just don't like this track at all. Why do they keep building tracks where people can not or hardly at all pass ? Quit those new idiot rules for "more fun into F1" and just get tracks where people not named Hamilton (or similair big talented racers) can pass.

Bruno Senna at Monza ?

Well, I lost my bet of "5 SCs in the race", not even them nFinity noobs crashed



Edit: Obviously someone lacks my form of humor...
Not meant disrespectful in any way Texas, au contraire!

Edit2:
Actually, it is meant desrespectful, get lost Texas !
You damn fooled me.

Good racing so far, keep it up all.

And as always, good commentators, really thank you for doing so. Makes it so much more enjoying to watch and lifts up the glamour of the league!
