*16:50 UTC Race 2 - 20 minutes +1 lap
*Approximate start time, gridding for race 2 will start approximately 10 minutes after the finish of race 1
Event Specifics
1. Alerting the Administration:
Use @sc to alert administration to look at your car or the section of track you were in when you use the @sc command. The command will tell the administration what location you're at.
2. Communications:
All drivers are required to be in the NDR TeamSpeak server: teamspeak.newdimensionracing.com - Race Control messages will be broadcast to anyone in a channel in the Pit Wall in TS. If you would like a subchannel for your team or friendly drivers, please let us know and we will create one.
Make sure you have your race number and/or your LFS username as your nickname on TeamSpeak
3. Broadcast
This race will be broadcasted by Sim Broadcasts: https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts
They will be in the NDR TeamSpeak. You are invited to be interviewed on stream during the breaks between sessions. Please follow their terms listed at https://simbroadcasts.tv/voice - we will apply those to our Commentary Box area.
4. Driver Naming:
Be sure to be in your proper name format: Number, [space], first initial, dot, last name [eg. 00 J.Provost].
The car number must be in white. Your name may be in colour.
5. Virtual Safety Car Test
Should time permit, there will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting approximately 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.
6. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, all parts of the car must be to the LEFT of the white blend line.
On pit exit, all parts of the car must be to the LEFT of the white blend line.
7. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying will be set to 22 minutes, with the pit exit closed for the first two minutes. The fast lane will be closed until declared open by the race director, at which time drivers may queue at pit exit in single file. The course will open for laps with 20 minutes remaining, and remain open until the time has elapsed. The pit exit will close at the chequered flag. No driver should exit the pitlane without sufficient time to start a timed lap.
Qualifying is run in Semi-Hardcore mode. This means drivers are only permitted to Shift+S or Shift+P from within the pit lane itself. Any driver spectating outside of the pit lane will not be allowed to rejoin the session.
8. Race Start:
Each race will have one unscored formation lap, followed by a double-file rolling start.
During griding for race 1, the pole sitter will be asked what side of of the grid they would like to start from. This side will be used for both races. All other drivers should file in accordingly.
The safety car will reduce speed on the exit of turn 9. All drivers should be forming into the double file formation. The safety car will pull off just before the start of the pit lane wall. The leader and all other drivers should maintain a steady speed up until the green flag signal is given. At which point overtaking is permitted.
In the event of an aborted start, drivers should maintain pace until Turn 1, and then return to single-file formation for another attempt. The race director will then instruct drivers if there are any changes to this.
9. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 9 (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.
The race director has the discretion to operate a safety car wave around procedure as documented in the regulations.
10. End of Race
After finishing each race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to the pit lane. The top 3 shall report to the start/finish line.
Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.
11. Miscellany:
Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S from on course during the race without authorization from Race Control.
You do NOT need permission to retire once you are in the pit lane.
If you suffer a lost connection or timeout from the server, you are permitted to rejoin the race, and we will add your completed laps to your car once you've rejoined.
Stop & Go penalties may ONLY be taken from the penalty box located at the location noted above.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
Good luck!

No mention of it as there is no restriction.
No, we do use teamspeak. Address is teamspeak.newdimensionracing.com
Skinkit updated: Number text must be black on number board. Thank you.
Personally I feel that Discord does still fit into this category. It is a social media in my eyes and used by a lot of the community. Steam is unrelated to LFS in my eyes as LFS is not on that platform.
I like this idea. Will help with creating spotters guides etc too. And broadcast graphics.
Not my mission, just a by-product
Usually as a result of the above
Following reports from the race director, the following incidents have been revied and the following given.

From Race Control we use 'whispers' which let us talk to all channels etc.
I'd recommend going to Tools > Options > Whisper and turning OFF the 'Always show whisper history when receiving a whisper' setting. This will stop the whisper history window popping up potentially over your game screen.

8. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying 1 will be a 10 minute session. Cars have 2 hot laps and a maximum of 2 pit exits. Drivers can do their hot laps back to back. Once either 2 laps or 2 pit exits have been completed, that drivers qualifying is over. Telepit is allowed during qualifying 1.
Qualifying Duels
Top 8 drivers from qualifying 1 will be paired into groups of 2. Groups will be called into pit lane by the race director. Once released, groups will complete a out lap and one hot lap. After each driver completes their hot lap, they are to spectate.
Each group winner will advanced to the quarter finals where the process repeats. This repeats down to the final with the final 2 drivers.
9. Race Start:
Each race will have a grid presentation after the lights turn green. Once this presentation is finished, the start procedure will begin with the 5 second signal.

First 2 laps under safety car, 1 additional lap. For each additional lap under safety car +1 lap.
E.g. 4 Laps of SC = 3 additional laps
This formula will be used for each separate SC occurrence in its entirety. e.g. First SC 4 laps (3 laps added), second SC 5 laps (4 laps added), total of 7 laps added.
2 minutes of VSC = 1 additional lap. Unlike usual safety car, this will accumulate across all VSC periods.
E.g. VSC1 1 minute, nothing added, VSC2 2 minute, total of 3 mins under VSC = 2 laps added.
No extra laps will be added if the Safety Car/Virtual Safety Car is deployed within the last 5 laps of the race.
12. Weather:
Dynamic weather will be used in all sessions. When track conditions state 'WET', only 'road' tires are permitted. If the weather changes, every competitor not equipped with the permitted tyre compound has to pit at the end of respective lap, unless being in between the triple blue line and the finish line – in that case the rule has to be met at the end of the following lap. This line is marked 'weather commit line' on the track map.
13. Attack Boost:
Attack Boost will not be used this round due to limited safe options for a attack boost lane location. Due to this, section XIV of the E-Challenge 2023 Regulations is nullified for this round only.

Hi there,
This is a website improvement suggestion.
Rather than having to download PDFs attached to forum posts, can we have the option to either view or download?
Might be easier for users to be able to view things like points standings and rule books etc.
Thanks
Provost

Drivers taking practice starts should pull up to the yellow chalk line that marks the spot, and wait for a clear path to take their practice start. Cars in the exit lane have right of way over cars preparing for a practice start.
6. Virtual Safety Car Test
Should time permit, there will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting approximately 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.
7. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, all parts of the car must be to the LEFT of the white blend line.
On pit exit, all parts of the car must be to the LEFT of the white blend line.
Temporarily crossing with two wheels on exit is allowed, however all parts of the car needs to be to the LEFT of the blend line at the intersection of the 2nd safety car line.
8. Running wide turn 1-2
If a driver runs wide at turn 1/2 they MUST rejoin the circuit via the run off at turn 3 and must be to the RIGHT of all BLUE/PURPLE cones.
9. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying 1 will be a 10 minute session. Cars have 2 hot laps and a maximum of 2 pit exits. Drivers can do their hot laps back to back. Once either 2 laps or 2 pit exits have been completed, that drivers qualifying is over. Telepit is allowed during qualifying 1.
Qualifying Duels
Top 8 drivers from qualifying 1 will be paired into groups of 2. Groups will be called into pit lane by the race director. Once released, groups will complete a out lap and one hot lap. After each driver completes their hot lap, they are to spectate.
Each group winner will advanced to the quarter finals where the process repeats. This repeats down to the final with the final 2 drivers.
10. Race Start:
Each race will have a grid presentation after the lights turn green. Once this presentation is finished, the start procedure will begin with the 5 second signal.
An insim head-up display will appear, with five darkened lights. After 5 seconds, each light will illuminate red at one second intervals. After a pause of between 3 and 7 seconds, the lights will extinguish and the race will be started.
11. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 8 (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.
12. Additional Laps Following SC/VSC*
If the safety car or virtual safety car is deployed in a race, additional laps may be added using the following formulas
First 2 laps under safety car, 1 additional lap. For each additional lap under safety car +1 lap.
E.g. 4 Laps of SC = 3 additional laps
This formula will be used for each separate SC occurrence in its entirety. e.g. First SC 4 laps (3 laps added), second SC 5 laps (4 laps added), total of 7 laps added.
3 minutes of VSC = 1 additional lap. Unlike usual safety car, this will accumulate across all VSC periods.
E.g. VSC1 1 minute, nothing added, VSC2 2 minute, total of 3 mins under VSC = 1 lap added.
No extra laps will be added if the Safety Car/Virtual Safety Car is deployed within the last 5 laps of the race.
13. Weather:
Dynamic weather will be used in all sessions. When track conditions state 'WET', only 'road' tires are permitted. If the weather changes, every competitor not equipped with the permitted tyre compound has to pit at the end of respective lap, unless being in between the triple blue line and the finish line – in that case the rule has to be met at the end of the following lap. This line is marked 'weather commit line' on the track map.
14. Attack Boost:
During each race, each driver must use the designated boost strip area three (3) times. If the race is declared wet at any point there will be no MINIMUM uses. There is still a MAXIMUM of three uses per driver.
Drivers may NOT use attack boost in the first two laps of the race. Attack boost cannot be used under SC or VSC conditions.
15. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to parc ferme located on drivers RIGHT of turn 3 runoff. The top 3 shall report to the podium via parc ferme.
Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.
16. Miscellany:
Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S from on course during the race without authorization from Race Control.
You do NOT need permission to retire once you are in the pit lane.

Discord username in LFS Profile
Hi There,
With the dramatic increase in usage of Discord in the LFS community, and with the LFS verification system on Discord, it would be great if the Discord username and id number can be displayed in a uses profile on lfs.net.
I think this will help league administration and allow people to contact users directly in Discord. Of course if the user wants their username to be visible on lfs.net.
Thanks.

Beautiful work! This got me very excited and think it would make a great spec series championship mod. Very well done!

I agree insim is the way to go for races, it is then up to the organiser to build it to their requirements. The current insim checkpoints can be used for this.
Qualifying a straight remove lap time would be perfect. Thinking back to a GT2C event we tried to use track limits and we ended up having to delay the race to work out results, not an easy process to manually review and adjust times. Hence we didn't use the same system since.
A 'new' insim checkpoint/circle for HLVC would be perfect for qualifying. It should still show the amount of actual laps completed but invalidated lap times so does not effect the results shown or grid etc.
In terms of the packets we can get back, it would be useful to have a flag on a lap time to tell us if it was valid or not, thinking for things like tracker etc. So we can show the time that was completed but strike through if invalid.
Qualifying a straight remove lap time would be perfect. Thinking back to a GT2C event we tried to use track limits and we ended up having to delay the race to work out results, not an easy process to manually review and adjust times. Hence we didn't use the same system since.

The car number must be in white. Your name may be in colour.
5. Practice Starts
Drivers are permitted to take practice starts at the location notified above, any time the pit exit is open. Drivers taking practice starts should pull up to the yellow chalk line that marks the spot, and wait for a clear path to take their practice start. Cars in the exit lane have right of way over cars preparing for a practice start.
6. Virtual Safety Car Test

On pit exit, all parts of the car must be to the RIGHT of the white blend line. (Red lines and dashed white lines may be crossed)
8. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying 1 will be a 10 minute session. Cars have 2 hot laps and a maximum of 2 pit exits. Drivers can do their hot laps back to back. Once either 2 laps or 2 pit exits have been completed, that drivers qualifying is over. Telepit is allowed during qualifying 1.
Qualifying Duels
Top 8 drivers from qualifying 1 will be paired into groups of 2. Groups will be called into put lane by the race director. Once released, groups will complete a out lap and one hot lap. After each driver completes their hot lap, they are to spectate.
Each group winner will advanced to the quarter finals where the process repeats. This repeats down to the final with the final 2 drivers.
9. Race Start:
Each race will have a grid presentation after the lights turn green. Once this presentation is finished, the start procedure will begin with the 5 second signal.
An insim head-up display will appear, with five darkened lights. After 5 seconds, each light will illuminate red at one second intervals. After a pause of between 3 and 7 seconds, the lights will extinguish and the race will be started.
10. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 10. It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.
11. Additional Laps Following SC/VSC
If the safety car or virtual safety car is deployed in a race, additional laps may be added using the following formulas
First 2 laps under safety car, 1 additional lap. For each additional lap under safety car +1 lap.
E.g. 4 Laps of SC = 3 additional laps
This formula will be used for each separate SC occurrence in its entirety. e.g. First SC 4 laps (3 laps added), second SC 5 laps (4 laps added), total of 7 laps added.
2 minutes of VSC = 1 additional lap. Unlike usual safety car, this will accumulate across all VSC periods.
E.g. VSC1 1 minute, nothing added, VSC2 2 minute, total of 2 mins under VSC = 1 lap added.
No extra laps will be added if the Safety Car/Virtual Safety Car is deployed within the last 5 laps of the race.
12. Weather:
Dynamic weather will be used in all sessions. When track conditions state 'WET', only 'road' tires are permitted. If the weather changes, every competitor not equipped with the permitted tyre compound has to pit at the end of respective lap, unless being in between the triple blue line and the finish line – in that case the rule has to be met at the end of the following lap. This line is marked 'weather commit line' on the track map.
13. Attack Boost:
During each race, each driver must use the designated boost strip area three (3) times. If the race is declared wet at any point there will be no MINIMUM uses. There is still a MAXIMUM of three uses per driver.
14. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to the pit lane. The top 3 shall report to the start/finish line.
Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.
15. Miscellany:
Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S from on course during the race without authorization from Race Control.
You do NOT need permission to retire once you are in the pit lane.
If you suffer a lost connection or timeout from the server during the race, you are not permitted to rejoin the race.
Stop & Go penalties may ONLY be taken from the penalty box located at the location noted above.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
Good luck!
