A doodle from me

Updated my entry since it seems like I can do constant 1:22's, 1:23's which is good enough for me (even though the wheel still feels akward).

I'd love to join but since I've built my new computer my wheel seems to be working differently making me oversteer all the time.

If I can fix this until then I'll join in the STD class. So take this as a ~provisional entry:

Name: David Novak
Username: Hypothraxer
Team Name: Synetic (I thought I'd go easy on you guys this time )
Team Tag (MUST be in square brackets - [ ] ): [Syn]
Car: XRG

LFS Username : Hypothraxer
Real Name : David Novák
Team : None at the moment / Privateer
Eligible (Hotlap under 2:50.18) : Did the testrace (2:46.81 I believe)
Preferred Number : 77 / 8

My first race ended in lap 1 (sorry Mr. Grindle! I really didn't see you there and thus closed the gap). Race 2 and 3 were mostly "catch up from last position" but Race 3 was lots of fun the last 2 laps since I had a nice battle with Jakola.

I really look forward to the series but maybe it would be possible to start one hour earlier?

I won the 'top speed' and 'least yellow & blue flags shown' contest!

I just watched the broadcast and it's amazing. (Some of the jokes were hilarious - like the one about Jack's overlapping luck ).

It wasn't the dentist My mistake haha.

I had a lot of fun during the first half of the race. But I was rather unlucky while lapping the TBO's. Usually I approached them when they could not move away so I had to break a lot (Kudos to the drivers - I rarely had a situation where I didn't know what you're going to do). This brought Jack always back and I somehow couldn't pass him until his pitstop.

My pitstop was hilarious in the aspect that I managed to spin on the entry - then forgot to change tyres so I had to pit a second time. I kinda settled for 7th place until I realised that Jack was coming closer each lap. Sadly his tyre popped so there was no duel at the end.

I'm also terribly sorry for bumping a TBO off track. I thought you would stay on the inside but you moved outside and I changed my line as well but I was too fast.
I'm also sorry for bumping Alfons off the track. I was under the impression that you saw the blue flag but you closed the gap and I kinda had to squeeze through. Here as well: I'm very sorry.

I'm not sure if I'll make it. Got some errands to run and if the weather stays that way (heavy snowfall) I might not make it home in time due to 50+ cm snow.

Just a quick question: How are the driver changes handled? Since I doubt everyone can be on the server all the time it's something like in the 16h event?

As soon as the teammate logs in the driver has to go to the pits and perform the change?

Quote from Dizzydarryn :

One other thing to everyone, seems as though this is a PRACTICE event, would anyone be against posting their sets with laptimes. This might help us put on a better show for the practice event which might draw some extra attention!

Thumbs up for that! Since I'm already participating in the NDR christmas event I probably won't have time to dish out a decent setup (not to mention the Mini FBM on Saturday...).

Hello Joe

Is it okay if I resize the numberplates a bit? In this case I reduced the width to 65% (because the skin gets stretched) and the height to 88%. I've attached an image.

I'd like to file a protest against car 05 in the Feature race for unsafe track re-entry.

At timecode 6:22 car 05 was sitting at the hairpin and started to reverse into the track the moment I began to turn into the corner. I saw it just in time to make a little detour around him but he still hit me.

While nothing bad happened I don't know if it would've come out the same if I had kept my line. Also seeing that he continued to reverse even after the hit makes me believe he either a) did not see me or b) did not care.

Was a pretty lonely race for me with people flying off left and right. I might also have a little protest going against someone but I have to see the replay first.

Looks like our skin is finished I also attached a view from the LFS Viewer.

Edit: Had to update the skin. There was a problem with Edna's foot.

Don'tcha mean alc in the blood ?

Usually - yes. But when it becomes nasty then the levels may change a fair bit

Haha I'll give it a shot tomorrow (tonight is the first christmas dinner which possibly leads to high levels of blood in the alcohol).

My guess is that everyone is running on a different track Is it possible to upload the most up-to-date version of the layout somewhere?

Got down to 38.63 so far

Is anyone willing to share some setups? :b

(No really - I mean it).

I enjoyed it a lot even though with a combination of weird setup and horrible driving I ended up competing against myself (for some reason I managed to get a lot faster split 1 times but then lost it all in split 2 compared to my PB).

Thanks again for organizing it - was great fun.

Quote from Timdpr :

****.

Could pretty easily have been 4th, then I chucked it away under the ****ing saftey car.

The same thing happened to me one lap later (I clipped the grass and lost a possible 5th position - got 8th).
And I must say you are pretty good at defending your position. I didn't really find an way to get past you the second time.

Quote from J@tko :

/facepalm

So whats your team tag going to be???

[AGADTUD] GreyBull?

lol

Yes - that's what the tag will be. The idea is, like in the good ol' days, to have silly names but to be extremely competitive Just wait until you see the skin
