Reason : added rleb
Ok, I was planning on being in the NDR server, we already have a channel in there, thanks.
Is MoE providing a Teamspeak server or is each team responsible for their own (my team has access to a few servers, just wondering if we are expected to be on a certain server, easier for admins to find us, easier for the broadcast to find us)
On that topic, during the late night, I don't mind dropping into the commentary box for a chat, and rleb (teammate) is actually the announcer for our kart club, he may be entertaining, he should be around during the night.

What timezone are those times in.
If it is UTC or GMT, (I am not telling you to change your schedule just for me) it is really tough for North American drivers to participate because qualifying is Friday afternoon.
I realize this it is very difficult to orgainse a league across several time zones and an ocean.

Angry Angus Racing
Background:
Angry Angus Racing was established in 2005 between Jared Meade and Rejean LeBlanc of New Brunswick, Canada. Both met at the kart track. Jared was the wily old veteran of the kart club and Rej was the newbie teenager with a rusted out 20 year old chassis which a previous owner had painted "Angry Angus" across the back of the seat. Jared started his karting career in a very similar fashion with a 20+ year old kart and still to this day takes on factory supported super-teams with essentially left over parts found kicking around on the paddock. Jared took a liking to LeBlanc (sporting an afro at the time) and the two made a pact to work together.
Nascar Racing 2003 Season
Jared and Rej picked up another local kart driver Brent Roy to take part in the New Brunswick Virtual Racing League. This is a small Nascar league that attracts only 8-12 cars each week. Over a 4 year span, Jared won 8 series championships including going virtually undefeated at any road course. Brent Roy won several races and Rookie of the Year before retiring from sim racing to take part in other hobbies, Rej lacked interest in Nascar and was mostly a road course ringer. In the summer of 2010, Jared looked to get away from circle track racing and he found Live For Speed. Jared was intrigued by the Racing Minds 16 Hour race but was unsuccessful in forming a team to participate in the 2010 edition. The hope diminished and was all but forgotten.
Live For Speed
In December 2010, Jared and Rej spent some time together and decided that they WILL race in the 16 Hour in 2011. That spring the team was officially listed as a recognized team on LFS World and the recruiting began. The team brought on Jonathan Bjornson (GTAL racer) and Zoltan Gacsi (Hungarian LFS Cup racer). The team was built with the intention to run the 16 Hour race so anything that came before was to be practice for the 16 Hour. Jonathan advised the team to enter the GT2 World Series. Jared and Rej were both LFS rookies, but had significant other racing background. Zoltan is a relatively inexperienced LFS driver so the 3 of us were relying on the more experienced Bjornson. Round 1 of the GT2WS was approaching and Jonathan was not available to drive. It dawned on the 3 just days before the opening round that none of us had ever raced a GT2 car, none of us had ever run an endurance race, Rej and Jared have never run ANY LFS series before...this would be a trial by fire. The team wanted to gain experience, qualify for every race, finish as many races as we could and maybe beat at least one other team. We came out of that first event with a 18th place finish. By the end of the series, we finished every race finished the final series points 19th overall, a result we are extremely satisfied with also considering Bjornson withdrew from the team after Round 2, so 4 of the 5 rounds were driven by the 3 rookies.
Racing Minds 16 Hour
The team ran in the NGT class with Peter Toth as a 4th driver who signed up for the one-off ride with the team. Peter qualified the car 3rd in class and we finished 3rd in class (26th overall) in our first NGT race and our first 16 Hour. That goes down as the teams first podium finish, and you can't pick a bigger race to get you first podium.
Team Activities
As a team we pride ourselves on maximizing on the little experience we have. That attitude is deeply ingrained back from karting where Jared and Rej ran old karts with old engines on warn out tires against factory teams, and managed to week in and week out compete with these teams. Right now we realize that we are inexperienced drivers but we are willing to enter the big events to see where we stack up. We use smart driving, planning and efficient communication to maximize our performance. Jared acts as the lead strategist and a calculator is never far from his computer desk. Jared use a method of calculations and projections to predict race stint outcomes, and uses effective communication to relay necessary information to the drivers before and during the race. In the Racing Minds 16 Hour, we completed the 3rd fewest pit stops of the 30 finishing teams and every driver exchange occurred as planned (no driver was abandoned for hours on end to hold up the fort), with a back-up system in place at all times. Even thought there was a backup driver available at all times, every driver got a full nights sleep and no one had to drive fatigued. It is that type of planning and execution that we use to overcome our lack of experience.
Recruitment
The team would like to find a 4th and maybe 5th driver. We are targeting intermediate level drivers. Top level drivers are more than welcome if you want to help build up the team. We do not require world class pace, we do not require hours of testing for races, we only ask that every driver give their full honest legitimate best effort (whatever your best effort is). Try your best, and communicate effectively with the team. If you want to join with this plucky band of drivers as we take on some of the biggest events in LFS contact me through facebook, e-mail, LFSforum private message. We stick together and feed off of each individuals strengths to create a more powerful outcome than any individual effort. Zoltan is the consistently faster driver so he usually does the most driving, Jared is the communicator and planner so he is the strategist and spotter and Rej just loves to race so he usually puts a lot of laps in to de-bug setups.
We run a facebook page that we complete live blogging during events http://www.facebook.com/pages/ ... us-Racing/173430552708247

I am watching the stream coverage right now and am thoroughly enjoying it.
For TFalke, we (team #98) are considering changing our name to help you pronounce it properly.
Just kidding, the coverage is great. I learned how to pronounce Guglhupf and what it means.

#98 - Angry Angus Racing for Round 5
I just have to say that I have such a big, stupid grin on my face right now. Mostly because I would have never dreamed that my new team with 4 drivers all in their first 16 Hour race, would finish on the class podium, but also because of just the epic in which I have just participated.
Thank you to all the participants especially the GT1 and GT2 cars in server #1. The lapping was very seamless and we had very few issues with GT1/2 passing us. Thank you to the organizers, the tracker worked great, the servers (well server 1 at least, i did not spend time in server 2) were rock solid for 16 hours. I am on the other side of the Atlantic and did not see a single instant of lag. The stream was great (disappointed that I did not get to see the end, I was not one of the lucky 50), what I saw was very enjoyable.
I have been online sim racing for 12 years with various sims, but have always ran in back-door leagues with only 8-12 cars. To be a part of this event: 2 servers, 37 teams, who knows how many drivers from however many different countries, live scoring, live broadcast coverage...just blows my mind...bring on RM 16H 2012.

I guess I am stupid, I can't find a password anywhere. Can someone send it via private message.
Same thing happened to us at qualifying. We were never informed of the password or where to find it.

We didn't receive the password for the qualifying server either...too late now, only 20 minutes left
