Hello! As a clearing up sort of thing I'm going in-depth on the 1 car rule and how we're enforcing it.

Firstly the one car rule is the rule that disallows you to change car per round, once you leave pits for the first time on Qualify on Race 1 your car WILL be noted down and you'll be using that car throughout the season.

In short; Once you leave pits for the first time in qualification on race 1, your car is what you left in.


If you qualify in a different car:

1st time: Getting told to change your car. + Warning
2nd time: Stop-Go Penalty in race.
3rd time: Disqualification from race.
4th time: Disqualification from season.

If you race (start race) in a different car:

1st time: Removal from race.
2nd time: Removal from season.


As it stands the current car list is:

Lucaf/9397: XRT
EE3: FXO
jackson93 (m@cik3): RB4
Skattle: XRT
Rzonda: FXO
Huski: FXO
TAZxx: FXO
Pete: FXO
Racon (Jam616): FXO
Shamz: FXO
Galinhofrs: XRT
Joaofrs: XRT
IN[GAME]: RB4
MRSUPER[GAME]: FXO
Ripstie: XRT
Getrag: FXO
Stoley: XRT
Rejekt:
Bunny: XRT

(List may not always be accurate, its taken from the last knowns of the league subsection. Which cleared some data >:/. List will update when Q1 starts)

Very annoyed with my ISP that's having issues. Watched some through lfsremote though, seemed good!

#newispthings

All drivers; FSR, lfs leagues wiped the car choices :/. All drivers choice of car in R1 will be noted down and published for the next round!

All drivers who signed up here have already been accounted for however!

The reason first-off was due to balance, however upon 2nd look-over it I believe the +1 point for RB4 balances enough for now.

Upon a 2nd look-over I've rolled it back. We're 3 days away from race and the rules, points etc will undergo no more changes.

As well I want to make a record of how each CAR scores (overall from each driver) for the statistical fun!

Quote from Tomislav531 :

Have you considered retstrictions for certain car/cars. Rb4 is the slowest car even tho it has awd and without restrictions races wont be balanced. Most of tbo leagues/events have it this and I think it should b fair to do it. Also why short laps except blackwood and south city, qualifications last same or more than actual race

Qualification reason: I've put it as the race length etc for drivers who cant come on the dot of quali time as I know not every driver will be consistently on the dot of quali start, this is a system I believe is more driver friendly, as well it gives that time to (if a driver feels the want / need to) over-test setups to full race length, or make changes as well.

Restriction: I'd be using season 1 to see HOW restricted the cars would have to be together using season 1's races as a benchmark in a way. With that said I'd look to implementing it in season 2

Laps: They were made specifically to be 30m length minimum 40m length maximum (apart from final race, big finale) so races don't go on and on and on for ever. To get the length I took all 3 cars midrange hotlap on the circuit, made it into an average then worked out 30m or 40m (dependant on what was more solid, either a 5 or a 0) to get the race length

(Also quick edit because I forgot) - as suggested by Lucaf to help with the RB4's balance we won't be force restricting everything else HOWEVER I will be awarding RB4's an extra point ontop of what they achieve within the race, with hopes to help the balance. This will also mean the points table will go back to the 2 gap rather than 1!

This form will be filled out with drivers car upon race 1, I'll also be attempting to create a cars standing table too, so we can see how the cars fare against eachother!

Quote from lucaf :

I would decide the point table after we know how many participants will be. For example lets imagine we will have 20 participants during whole league. Would be shame if slowest ten guys don't get points at all. But that is just my opinion.

Second thing in mind: what about RB4 is much weaker on tarmac courses? Those who take it without knowing it, will be disappointed after first race, and will leave the series. What about some compensation for RB4? If dont want to use restrictions, give +1 extra point for race if RB4 driver? Or something...?

Your first point; I can see where your coming from with it, if we peaked 10 people I'd look into a system that accompanies for that, however right now I don't particularly see that happening, at least not this side.

Your second point; Again I see where your coming from, I'd probably look into how to make this work which might be going back to the 2 point gap between places just in the name of point table fairness, as then if an rb4 finishes 2nd they wont get the same point amount as someone else finishing 1st. This is something I'd look into beforehand but it might not be implemented until the next time SORL is running.

2 questions:

Did you go from S2 -> S3 or just Demo -> S3?
(If above is Demo -> S3 ignore this next one)
How long after purchasing S3 from S2 did you attempt to unlock?

I disbelieve there'd be ANY licensed cars in LFS regardless of update frequency.

With that said, big estate thing.

Six drivers so far signed up across 2 teams! Come sign up for simple, fun, close TBO racing!

R1: Jan 10th

dd2017 is the server pw

Quote from henricat2006 :

In the LFS files there are some tires that are not available in the game, are they tires that will be implemented in the future?

RACE_WET
RACE_INTERMEDIATE
RACE_GROOVED
SLICK_HARD
SLICK_MEDIUM
SLICK_SOFT

I do not know if the question was very offtopic but I believe it has a connection with physics

If you look back to the OLDEST version of LFS acquirable these tires are in there as a setup option (all apart from grooved I believe)

Quote from RipstiE :

I'll select the car for whole season or just 1 race?

Rule 7 states the following: "once your first race is completed your car will not be able to be changed."

This implies that you can change car UNTIL RACE ONE. This decision was for the possibility of a car championship too (for extra statistics) to see what cars perform best throughout.

Quote from michal 1279 :

Looks interesting. Although I'm wondering about the points system - what's the idea behind 20-18-16-(n-2...) scoring? If the scoring is perfectly linear, then why not to just use 10-9-8-7...1? Unless there's 1 point for pole or fastest lap, 2 point gaps seems pointless.

I just personally prefer the 2 gap per pos over the 1 for it, however due to the ability of the autocalc table I'll possibly be changing it to the linear 10-1 system.

Signing up Update: The league section sign-ups are still accepted however if preferred by the driver a secondary sign-up method is supplied here, to use this one reply after filling out the following:

Username:
Driver Name: (including tag):
Team name (If none leave blank):
Car (RB4, FXO, XRT):


Example:
Username: Huskii
Driver Name: (including tag): SO•Huski
Team name (If none leave blank): Street Obsessions
Car (RB4, FXO, XRT): FXO

Ey up.

Due to issues regarding humblebundle when we looked into purchasing the order we've decided as a team to transfer the prizes from Humble Bundle to Steam in the form of Steam Credit, the new prizing structure is as follows:

1st: $15 steam voucher
2nd $10 steam voucher
3rd $5 steam voucher

We apologise as a team for this inconvenience however we believe its the best solution to our issue with Humble Bundle

Welcome to racing sims! Setups exist and can give a driver an edge on the other drivers, why would they want to give that edge away?

LFSW name: Huskii
In-game name: SO•Huski
Full team name: Street Obsessions
Nation: United Kingdom

Sign-ups now at 16, everybody who signs up will be added as a reserve, current signups will be kept in their slots!

Hello! I'd just like to post this to inform people that Downhill Dash has ONE SPACE remaining for on-night racers, everybody else will be put under reserve if they sign up.

On that subject if reserves equal 16 on the night (on forms) we'll post a 32 bracket which is balanced for everybody!

This decision is here to eliminate bye-rounds as we do not want these happening under ANY circumstances.

-Huski

Literally, just go race, don't let your experience put you off racing or however you put it, go there solo or take a few friends and have a laugh, if you win you win, if you don't then hey you had fun with it.

Imho even racing when your inexperienced is better experience than just hotlapping, use the things you see as small hints, look how other drivers drive, take lines etc and maybe even try to pick up a few sets and see how they're made or even adapt them for how you want to drive!

Go in and do it, have fun!

BIG UPDATE 18/12

Hello, I'm adding this small note here to say we're closing sign-ups at 16, this is for the way brackets work and our want to avoid byerounds, a note will be put here when the 16 is met, if you sign up as a racer after the 16 you'll be put in as a RESERVE, on the night you can still come to the server in case of a driver or two not showing up.
