Home event (Not event 6): 4th (SO Long Reverse)

I'm sorry to see NIKI to leave, he is one of the best XRT drivers in LFS.

Tbh SRCUP a tough challenge. One need planning, endurance, patience and some skills. I hope it will go on, because its one of the best organized events around.

Great race, although my best finish in StormCup.

First of all, I'd like to thank to lizard again for all the stuff.

Qualifying:

I had not much time to practice forr this event, I run only a few laps with my hotlap setup. I realized just before the quali, that my tires won't last until the end of the race, so I tried to make a race setup in 2 minutes. On qualifying everything went very well: 4th place on the grid, just after CoRe guys, and Niki.

Race:

At the start I made a small mistake, I ran too close to Niki (I think he also slowed a little), I had to lift off a little when the green flag was waved. I dropped back to 5th. In a few laps I was able to regain my position. My tires were getteing hot, so my last minute changes didn't worked out. Left rear was betwtten 68-88 C, right fornt 110-140 C. I was pushing too hard, when the Safey Car saved me. Cool tires again at restart. This time everything went well at the (re)start, than Niki made a mistake. He was trying too hard to pass PMD, he ran into him. I thought I've got the 2nd(!) position. I was wrong ,PMD managed to get back on track. Niki dropped back, so I was in 3rd. On the same lap, I was able to pass PMD, but he was so much faster than me, I couldn't hang him up, I let him by in the last hairpin. I've set my fuel to 18% at the start, my plan was to go out to pits on lap 17 (exactly in mid-time), but because of the safety car, I had an extra lap out. Everybody in front of me went out to pits on L15, my car was light, noone were in fornt of me: I tried to go as fast as possible. It didn't worked out: i was slowww... Because i changed the right fornt tire, I've dropped back to 5th again. Mischief and boogle came in front of me. I had to pass them, so I went for it. Two slight passes until the end, so I've finished 3rd!

Congratulations BigTime and PMD. You were so much faster than all of us, again!

Quote from evilpimp :

What were the average laptimes around 4th-3rd? And pole?

My qualifying time was (4th):
1:34.290

My best lap durig race was:
1:34.420, but I was doing 1:35.2 average.

Cheerz,

wall of text.

I'm sorry, it's 2:10 am, and i still can't sleep, my notebook is just fried on my legs...so next time sometimes you should press the Enter button. It was really hard to read your post.
Btw, bad situ.

if i see the poll results, i think, you maybe missed some. My vote is for Eric Clapton.

i've uploaded some songs earlier to Youtube playing piano (synth) and singing by myself.

next time i definetly upload the video while I'm playing Numb, luckyly only on piano, no vocals Maybe you can check out my other videos.

On your upload: good job, keep pracicing, because it's all about practicing.

Tom, please don't be soooo simple! I was trying to say almost exactly the same as you, but without affront lizard!
IMO keep SO in the scedule, it'll be a great race!

Thanks a lot, I keep on learning new things!

I don't know any RL stock car series with tracks like south city. Maybe i am wrong. Could you mention one or two, please?

Quote from Christopher Raemisch :

Donno, the FJR's are wicked fun.

I am sorry, but because I'm not an englishman, I don't really understand these words, like "wicked" I hope you understood what I was trying to say (and hopefully i wrote what i was trying to say). So, I think this feature could be used in TBO class, because GTR's have their own restrictions, and for the insim, it would be hard to understand, what is going on, and this feature would be rubbish for single seaters. I mean, put extra weight for an F1 car?

hello,

It was a great race! Not for me for sure, because I managed to catch the last in-lap position, but never mind.
There was jsut something I didn't understand. Here it is:
When the first yellow came out, I was the one, who caused the accident (I am sorry if I ruined someone's race), and I almost had to retire. Luckily I got myselft back to four wheels, but my car had so much damage, that it was very hard to reach the pits with it. While i was recovering the safety car came out, and the pit sraight being closed. I had no choice, I had to repair my car. Than I got a drive through penalty, for "crossing the red light". Last year, when I was driving in the 360 deg. cup, the rule was more clear, and a big sign came out, when the SC was deployed: "Pitlane is closed, except for the wrecks". And nascar rules are the same. In F1 it's clear why this rule is: people can gain advantage in the first or second lap of the SC, but if I would had rocket boosters on my car, I still couldn't gain any advantage form this situarion, ... and this wasn't a Formula 1 race. I was asking the admins to clear my penalty, but there were no answer. So I still don't know what was the problem with my pitting as a wreck.

BTW, thanks lizard for the race, looking forward to BL1, hopefully I can get more out of a road course!

Quote from The Moose :

Not yet. I'm hoping that coming in X2 though.

Yes, this really sounds good for the future btw, I don't think this can work on single seaters. Weight added to an F3000 or an F1 car? This could be a good feature (i think) only for touring cars.

please, don't shorten it! It will lis the meaning of it. I can do 35 lap races in CTRA on endurace days, but it isn't an organized race.

Quote from Dark Elite :

I would suggest you do not publicly insult the work of the developers, in future.

Such a tiny team working on such a massive project needs all the support they can get, and that includes from us. I, for one, will therefore never be disappointed with any updates they can give us. Of course, I always acknowledge the fantastic work that the UKCT put in - and I hope they know that - but that does not detract from the work of the developers. Bear in mind that whilst the CTRA deals with one aspect of LFS - ie, running and tracking races in servers - a smaller team of developers is working on the whole thing.

Sam

Never forget, that all of us were payed for this game. That wasn't a donation, I have bought the license. If the S3 license wii released, I will pay for it again.

And who said the developement team should remain 3? Why don't they hire developers, to earn more money?

Don't misundersant me: I like this game, but compared to other online games, it's growing very slowly, so because this, they don't have huge subscription numbers, so less people is buying the sim, so they have less money.

Quote from Dru :

so you are saying that any LFS development is gonna be be alpha tested on the CTRA servers? :scratch

Sadly, yes.

LFS developent team is doing almost nothing. Last time they released a patch with some "huuuuuge" changes, like JPG textures can only be used for track textures, and now anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering is available. It's nothing special. Oh! I fogot the new menu. WOW.

So we must very-very thankful for the UKCT guys (and Becky of course), to make some real developement to our sim.

lol

This time it was a really good F1 race tough. And I think this season is good too.

Dru: I don't think so. Standing start after a warm up lap can be quite tricky. I've never done things like that before, since I'm not a RL racing driver. But I really think that this should be done firstly on CTRA, beacuse here people have much more care to the others, than on other servers.

Becky: Nice to hear this info from you, I hope this feature can be implemented to the CTRA soon.

Ok, sounds fine, I hope it will work!

lizard, as i remember right (tell me if not), you said that no "outside company" can be advertised, so that big GoodYear logo is not the best choice. But I'm not really sure about this.

EDIT: it looks like i was writing rubbish. Please apologise to me....

Hi,

I'm wondering if Sam or Michael could give us some (new) info about the X2 system. We know few things about it, but that's been a long time when I heard them. I really think, that many people is waiting for the release. If you don't mind to give us some teaser (spoiler?), plz tell us where the developement is at now, and is there any release date for it?
