I'll join as well Should be possible for me to make it since I took holidays and don't have to work on 22 - 24.

Quote from Timdpr :

Anyone care to share their setups? I've just modified the final drive ratio from my round 2 set, so it aint great!

I'd be interested in those setups as well Additionally in the split times you guys achieve. Here are mine:

0:31.970 - 1:11.510 - 1:32.430

1:32.43 is my best so far.

Quote from de Souza :

Hey, don't forget the tyres this time.

The pitstop is not mandatory so a 18 seconds pitstop should not happen

I'd be interested as well - in the RB4.

Best possible lap: 43.95 :jawdrop:

Should've practiced more and gotten rid of the fewer :/

Quote from Timdpr :

Not great races for me! Failed badly in quali, got 5th I think in the sprint, and a kinda non-deseved 3rd in the feature! I didn't realise I was having a nice fight with you, Hypothraxer, I just thought I was defending rather scrappily from a much faster car! I was going to give that place back, after my spin, but I thought I saw your wheel at a funny angle. I've got some kinda flu, so I got pretty hot as well!

From my point of view the start was pretty awesome. I thought I had already overtaken you but you managed to get that position back. And your defending was pretty solid as well. So as far as I see it: Nice fighting

I messed the sprint race up by not reading the rules too well (blame it on the fever). Due to the bad condition of the car I decided to retire from the race rather than repair it

In the feature race I had a nice fight with Tim. After his small mistake I lost the concentration (also due to the fever) so I guess I'm glad I finished :b

Quote from evilpimp :

Any chance of you sharing those awesome setups? :P

So far my best has been 44.64 . . .

Aye - I'd like to test those setups as well. My best is 45.80 (although I could not really practice very much because I'm sick atm).

Quote from J@tko :

• That's what a stop-go is. Really it should be called a Stopfor10seconds-and-go
  
• LOL
  

For the Taha-incident I received a stop-and-go (without 10 seconds) . And I also remotely remember that a drive-through is issued first before giving a stop-and-go. But maybe I'm too tired

Small correction:

The software did register my pitstop. But I had 90 km/h when I entered the pitlane instead of 80 - giving me an additional stop-and-go penalty.

So all in all I did four pit stops:

- The first one was planned
- The second one was for the incident with Taha
- The third one was for speeding in the pitlane (10 seconds stop-and-go - can anyone explain to me why 10 seconds?)
- The fourth one was to repair the car.

I spent more time in the pitlane than outside

Quote from racer hero :

Just did a 44.67. Unofficial track record.

Can you post your split times? I seem to be unable to get below 45.80 (with a race setup).

I thought I'd start one since the next race is this Saturday

I was able to do a low 47 lap so far. The biggest issue for me seems to be the hairpin - and the #@# walls

I liked video - even though the music was "meh" and the video a bit choppy and some scenes are missing.

Looking forward to that

I'll have to skip round 1 due to festivities. See you at round 2

There's actually tons of interesting moments in those 7 races (the legendary crash in Race 1 in R4 for example ). As soon as I get my hands on an Core i7 and a cheap x58 mainboard I'll probably complete it. But it might be late December when I get that :/

I made a BC trailer/teaser thingy. I actually wanted to include more footage but my poor old Athlon 3700+ struggles recording LFS at 30 FPS (you'll probably see some scenes already that are on the brink of stuttering). The rendering & encoding is also a pain so that's all for the moment:

You'll need a H.264 capable player like VLC.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

Most of the improvements I'd agree with, except the ballast one. If anything, more needs to be added. It was the same few racers up the front in every race, even with ballast. That's fine, as they're the fastest. But they were still pulling away from the field, even with ballast. I think they should get more ballast, to at least bring them closer to the pack

I agree on that one: There should've been more ballast.

- For worst fail I'd actually put in Joe again. Not only did he manage to miss the second SC phase in Round 2 but he also managed to crash Darryn in FP in Round 3

But since he already got that one last season I'd go for Stefan Alfons

- Most improved: I'd go for Michael Klenke or Mike Bingo. They both improved pretty well in my opinion.

- Best Driver: Darryn - who else?

- Most friendly: Tough decision because all people were friendly in this competition. I'd probably go with Joe Keaveney (for not being too harsh with me for that incident in R4 ).

I guess we can just collect the award ideas and the set up polls for each one which we deem to be good enough to be defined as an award-category?

I just remembered: I wouldn't be able to make it on 15th due to the diploma-ceremony.
