Oooo video

Layout is now available on the Street Dedicated server, it unloaded for some reason :////

Hi! If your interested in driving this its happening on Saturday (27/01/18) Layout is available to practise on on the Street Dedicated server!

Quote from lucaf :

Check airo.srv.txt file and these parameters

# Time (in seconds) to wait with automatic race restart - integer
# Number of players to be on track for the restart to happen - integer
RestartTime=50
RestartPlys=4
# Time (in seconds) to show until race restart or race end - integer
SecondsCountdown=30


I think you must put RestartTime to zero (or -1??) for not having automatic restarts (anyone, correct me if I remember wrong) or at least you can put RestartPlys=900 meaning 900 cars needs to be on track for restart counter to start

Awesome will have a look!

Firstly apologies for Airio auto restarting! I forgot that happened. From now on race will seem to start 30s after qualy oxo.

Server will be passworded at 17:45 GMT for 15 minutes practise with people who only have the password, qualification will start at 18:00 GMT (Will be announced for drivers to finish their last outlap)

Its not set up fully, but its functional! We have Airio on the Street Dedicated server (new home of SORL!)

Should be able to display !top per track, so yay.

Quote from lucaf :

do we need a poll for this? What is the purpose of restrictions, if the bonus point is not removed. Anyway, voted YES

Its more to get the opinion on if it's still viable even under the new restrictions. I personally believe it isn't needed.

Quote from Huskii :

As most of the suggestions have been;
FXO: 4%
XRT: 2%
RB4: 0%

The above is available now on the Street Dedicated server (will change before race hopefully) the current insim will force your restriction to the required amount IF YOUR UNDER said restriction (if you are OVER it the insim will NOT force it).

Car choice will be cleared and drivers will be allowed to choose a new car for this race (if a driver does not attend their car choice (if applic) will be carried over from RND1) so remember; The car you choose for RND 2 is your car for the entire season.

Below I have left a strawpoll https://strawpoll.com/gza5azec

This strawpoll is about removing the +1 point for RB4 which was originally factored in when the restrictions were not in force.

Note: All PM's will be sent out to all drivers on the DAY BEFORE SORL Round 3 (Tuesday the 23rd of January) Password will be enabled FIFTEEN MINUTES before QUALIFYING (17:45 GMT)

... Boi.

Nice vid!

Quote from Tomislav531 :

What restrictions are we running atm?

As most of the suggestions have been;
FXO: 4%
XRT: 2%
RB4: 0%

I'll be running that for this season of SORL, I am currently looking for a restriction forcer through lapper at the moment with hopes of getting it working by Wednesday's race. If I cannot I'll factor in a temp-rule around restrictions until I can.

As I also said below, after this has been factored in the car choices will be cleared for all drivers and re-done on Round 2 following the new restrictions

Welp, this is either going to be complete death OR some nice angles. Or both, I'll go for both

Quote from Spiiiky :

today?

Could've sworn I put a date on that

Post has been updated including the date (27th)

Street Obsessions - Sporadic Race #1 - Jokkis (Aka: Folkrace)

Our first sporadic event we want to start off with a bang, so due to this we've decided to start with Jokkis (Aka: Folkrace) a inexpensive, entry level form of Scandinavian rally cross.

The event will take place across 5 heats (7 laps) & 1 final (10 laps) with races having no specific starting order.

The track itself is a replica (with a few edits) made by Sindre Silva of Kalvholmen Folkrace track situated in Sweden.

The race itself will start at 18:00 GMT and last approximately 40 minutes (all heats and finals). (18:00 -> 18:50/19:00) after the race has finished we'll put on a few short sprint races (3 Laps) for those who want to stay on a little longer.

The car used for this race will be the XF GTI (XFG)







Due to the kind of racing a different style rulebook will be made. As Rally cross is a close, slightly filled with contact formula we're expecting accidental contact to happen a lot, that's just rallycross.

1. No INTENTIONAL contact (we understand mistakes happen)

2. If you roll and land off the track (or out of the raceway: eg beside the road) you don't have to shift+p

3. Pitgate will be shut before races (so spectating or pitting means your out)

4. No corner cutting allowed. (most turns are marked

5. Strictly no WW.

Track is loaded on the Street Obsessions server (will be unloaded for SORL on the 24th then return afterwards)



Here is a quick roll compilation (35s) made by ItzSe4n:


Replay from my perspective during testing

With SORL in full swing us here at Street Obsessions want to offer sporadic one-off races, that can range anywhere from throwing GTRs around Westhill to Rallyx within UF1s and everything in between.

This thread will be replied to each time a new sporadic event is announced, with time, date, cars, track, rules, etc. Each event will be come and race unless a sign-up is required (Say for a team race) these races will usually be one car, however sometimes it may be 2 or more.

All races will take place on the Street Obsessions server.

A news post for every race will also be announced on our website as well as here, along with results and replays as well: http://www.street-obsessions.com/



Some races may have their own rules set out (EG: Demolition Derby races) however for races that do not a base rulebook is listed below:

1. No intentional contact
   
2. Respect Flags
   
3. No corner cutting
   
4. No hacks/cheats/vob mods (doing so may lead to a permanant ban from any SO event)
   

Quote from Spiiiky :

I think you should let people switch cars now that you changed the rules.

WHEN restrictions are finalised and in force I will be opening car change that will close at the next race, this was already in the planning upon post-restriction.

I asked for restriction suggestions so I could gauge what people think is fair to balance the cars out. Right now by the looks of times (supplied by Mikke) I'll most probably either run:

4 2 0
OR
3/20 - 1(or 2) - 0

Restrictions: they're being worked on, will most probably use the TWC restriction set:
(FXO: 5%/0KG
RB4: 0%/0KG
XRT 1%/0KG)

Quote from lucaf :

For example Autocross Layouts section needs not to be accessible for demo users. Now it seems that people cracking LFS and downloading layouts from here without paying the license

It'd work here, yes. But LFS forum has a large amount of layouts that are obtainable from a lot of different places, which could make it a bit meh.

As well whats to say S1/S2/S3 licensed players aren't able to access those sections and give the layouts out onto other forums?
