It obviously depends on the car and track, but I'd guess that you'd be losing at least 0.5-1 seconds on that combo with autogears.

Autogears will, in general, cost you a significant amount of time in comparison to manual.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Kinda bs a track is cut out just because people don't like it, if i sat out at the tracks i didn't like id only be driving 2 events...

Only 2 events? Surely that would be an improvement?

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

*snip*
The superpole session shouldn't be added to the database I belive, as we will put the autocross mode on 2 laps and set the grids from the fastest laps. That means that the grid order won't be LFS' order.

All times are in GMT.

Thanks

I dunno if deko or anyone has sent you the GTAL stuff yet, but here it is anyway

*snip*

Thanks, that's been added. I also moved GTAL into the NDR section.

I shortened the names of most of the events - I'm afraid it's necessary.

I've added it. I've put the events straight into the GT Series competition. If you go on to do a 2nd season, I'll add 'Season 1' and 'Season 2' competitions.

Sorry for the double post, just wanted to make sure Scott gets a notification.

Quote from Scott Mckenzie :

Yep that is correct.

Great. In that case thanks for the perfect set of data first time - I hope NDR are watching :P.

Quote from Scott Mckenzie :

Thankyou Josh. Times are all in GMT/UTC. One question, '20090913 Round 1 with FZR at KY2' we also use FXO as safety car, should I have put FXO there also?

Regards, Scott

No, that's not necessary .

Just one question; Rounds 1-3 take place within European daylight saving time but Rounds 4-6 do not. This means that your event start times translate to 1900 British local time for rounds 1-3 and 1800 British local time for rounds 4-6 - is this correct?

One other point. It's not necessary for you to list the date for each session individually, as each event takes place on a single day. The reason I did so for MoE is that their events last a week. I'd be grateful if you could correct this just to avoid confusing others who intend to post their schedules here . Other than that it's perfect!

Just to be clear, this is what I mean exactly:

All posts relating to schedules which I have processed are moved to this thread.

Due to the number of requests I get from people asking me to add their competition to the Event Database, I've decided to create a thread here explaining exactly what I need from people in order to do it.

Here are some examples of the information I need and the format in which I prefer to receive it. Please post your schedules in this thread and do not send them to me via PM.

Please take note of the indentation used in these schedules - the indentations in your schedule should be exactly like this.

A competition which has more than one season:

A competition which is in its first season and for which the first event is split over multiple days:

An individual event:

I think that the 'Pretend Cup' example covers every possibility, though I'm sure the IGTC example covers the needs of most people.

The dates and times should ideally be given in UTC (GMT) time. If you aren't certain about UTC time then give the times in your preferred timezone and tell me which timezone you've used.

To use the vBulletin code facility enclose your schedule within [code] ... [/code] tags.

Please Read

Before I add any new submissions contributors will be required to send me a PM confirming that they understand that they must upload all of the replays from their competition to our site. LFS > Options > Multiplayer replay save should be set to [auto save - not recommended] - otherwise you will forget to save qualifying replays, it always happens, and such a failure will result in your competition being removed from our site.

Quote from oldnavy :

and after sending aplication can we update it with more members? or when we send it it will be final for Round 1

You can update it at any time afaik.

Quote from dekojester :

I was going to PM you all the timetable information last night before I went to bed, but it bounced because you exceeded your quota.

Yeah, I saw that - I've deleted some PMs now.

Quote from TFalke55 :

ups... first league for me which has got a timechange

We will follow the change to Standart time. I just forgot to point it out. It's a simple reason: Our working or schooling times do also change. I think the same counts for the north american competitors who have their switch on another date.

So starttimes will change to
1840UTC Start of the Official Free Practice Session (15min)
1900UTC Arrival deadline, Start of the Qualifying Procedure (2x 7min + Superpole)
1930UTC Start of the formation Lap
2035UTC Post-Race Interviews
for Round 3 onwards...
and thank you for putting LFSCART Light onto spdoDB... thank you a big time

http://www.spdoracing.com/eventdb/competition/374

I've assumed that the qualifying session works the same way as in LFSCART. I.e. 2 qualifying sessions are only used if there are enough people. If you PM me to let me know the number of groups for qualifying when you know for each event then I'll add them, as I don't really want to be having to remove them afterwards as I did with LFSCART. (It's easier to add more than it is to remove them.)

Let me know if there are any mistakes!

I'm about to add this to our database, but I just want to check one thing first. Rounds 1 and 2 fall inside European daylight saving time but Rounds 3 to 7 don't. Is it correct that you won't account for that change within your schedule? I.e., according to your schedule Rounds 1 and 2 will start at 1940 German local time and Rounds 3-7 will start at 1840 German local time.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

That's when no tag was specificated during the creation of the team

Actually, it happens when someone is in two or more teams on LFS World and they're then removed from one of them. The driver/team associations still exist on LFS World but that driver's team tag is cleared.

Edit: thanks for the link though .

Quote from michele0676 :

Yes mate, but i retrieve 15 lines of informations, i need only one !

It's the only way. You should post your questions in that thread and not in this one.

Quote from michele0676 :

UP.

How i can do this ?

How to retrieve LFS World stats?

Congrats. Now, ffs, someone update the CoRe LFSWorld entry :P.

Aren't you all being a little harsh/insensitive?

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

In my opinion, IGTC still isn't quite there. But it's a lot closer than MoE was last year.

I think that if you consider the pace of F1RST in the current season of IGTC, and compare the amount of preparation they have done for those races with spdo and 3id in the FZR, that the XRR has only been inferior at Aston North - though it will presumably be slower at South City Long, too.

It is also relevant to note that the performances of the top XRR teams have largely been affected by disconnections, driver errors and other dramas this season whereas some other teams haven't been affected as dramatically. Additionally, the lower fuel usage of the turbo cars results in a weight advantage - which best lap times tend to mask as they are generally set on low fuel - throughout the stint, while also leading to a [5+ seconds] shorter pitstop than is required for an hour-long stint in the FZR. And the icing on the cake is that in the 12h and 24h races the XRR teams will be expecting to make fewer pit-stops.

Take a look at last year's MoE results - when you guys drove the FZR - and tell me that you were closer to the pace than you've been in IGTC this season.

I think the 20kg ballast used in IGTC results in a fair balance. Only South City Long of the regular MoE tracks is likely to be noticably unbalanced, with the XRR being competitive on most tracks - especially when taking into account the ~5 seconds saved per stint on shorter refills and the possibility of making less pitstops especially in the 12h and 24h races.

I also think it's correct not to consider the FXR since it would require crippling handicaps of the FZ and XR in order to be competitive, and it is obviously an easier car to drive consistently when close to the limit.

Disqualification is over the top but if there are rules in place to deal with cutting then they do actually need to be enforced. We often see admins threatening to penalise before a race and actually see no action taken during the race itself, even if people are regularly gaining an advantage by cutting a corner/chicane - such as in the most recent (KY GP) round of the IGTC.

Quote from Deutschland2007 :

Which track would you suggest then to be thrown out of the calender?

The other 5, I guess :P.

Imo the main thing safety cars serve to do in endurance racing is deprive the majority of teams getting the result which they deserve.

Quote from n-murray :

Ok I'm sick of arguing, you were never a manager or had a lead role in ert me andy and James were/did, and andy was an admin for the tboc and I never caused crashes the only reason why I didn't compete towards the end was because I got crashed out so many times. Really guys I'm done arguing

You can't counter somebody's point and then declare the argument to be over. To put an end to an argument you have to be the bigger man and just stop talking.

Maybe the two of you don't realise but you're just degrading the view people have of you with each new post, regardless of its content.
