Why does everyone still rise to it? This back-and-forth could have ended ages ago.

Quote from Gil07 :

DQ for #01 for a stupid mistake? Very very harsh...

I really don't think you can possibly be driving 10s below your PB without realising that you're not running with restrictions.

Congrats to both

Quote from Mojo1987 :

These are spdo drivers. We will check the IGTC and MOE lineups for participation of these drivers.

Nick and Simon have never driven in MoE or IGTC.

Ramon, Robert and Mantas have each driven in MoE once. I asked Trekker if they would be allowed to take part and he told me that they would.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

AFAIK real names aren't automatically taken from LFS World, they can only be manually added(how? I don't know).

That's right. We're not able to retrieve real names from LFS World so they must be manually added.

Currently it's only possible for me to do that, but I do plan to allow anyone [probably registered users] to do it in the future.

Quote from imaquad :

I have a question. Im noob & not exactly sure how you get all your info? Taken automatic from LFS? Was wondering bcuz thought making the bar with custom fields, like total driven lfs laps/miles/certain car & track PB or rank etc. Whatever a user desires; if you can just give the code. Is this possible? Thx & gr8 work!

Quote from Gil07 :

This is a league races database, not LFSW stats

Yep. There is a subforum on here which explains how to retrieve those stats for use on your own site.

Quote from [UKR] Race King :

We have only 17 drivers.

Well.. 30 on LFSWorld + Rikje and Dennis = 32 :P.

Quote from jasonmatthews :

Core & spdo have been expanding aswell lately, and it does seem to be coming true my prediction that either teams would get bigger or fold, due in no small part to LFS development speed and keeping activity and interest alive in LFS.

Well I'm not sure you can put us on the same level as SR and CoRe in that respect - we've only got 16 members at the moment which is half the size of the CoRe roster and one third the size of SR's.

Quote from BenjiMC :

In my opinion, a big team in terms of numbers does no help for the team. I could never be proud to be a driver in a teams with 20 million members because it just wouldn't feel special, but to be a member in a team with just 10-15 or even less, thats special imo. It means you have achieved something and been recognised by the team to be worth having. Not to say anybody in SR isn't any good, but i wouldn't feel so proud to be in a team like that as i do in 3id or would in SK, Merc F1rst, n! and such.

I'd agree with that - though each team is run differently and each individual has different reasons for being part of a team.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Me too

Wasn't even a publc announcement when i joined spdo, apparently im not special enough!

There was a news story for you on our site just like with all our other members. Now get off the forum and go and win some races .

Quote from PaulC2K :

Still, i figured he'd have rebranded it all, isnt like we'll be needing it anytime soon and i gave him the details so he could do all that if he wished.

Yeah, sorry about that. Wasn't 100% sure if that'd be alright so I didn't. Probably should have in hindsight :P.

Quote from Wilko868 :

It's all in my shouting Raymon

-.-

Very surprised.. it's a shame to have one less top team to compete against but I guess it's understandable given the slow development and how long you've all been around in LFS.

I'm sure we'll still see most of you around anyway! (Even if it's only on the forum.)

Edit: Former MoE winners: 05/6 n!, 06/7 Cyber, 07/8 Mercury, ...

Yeah, good battle.. Keep it up!

Quote from Wilko868 :

Sprint race replay will be up as soon as I get the chance (in about an hour or so)

38 hours later..? :P

Guys, it's Ramon not Raymond -.-

Quote from Victor :

ok added both

Thanks .

Would it be possible to move the following two threads to that sub-forum also?

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=56593
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=56612

Finally - could you make Hawku and Misan moderators there as well?

Thanks in advance!

Quote from diablo21 :

I understand it may be a shame for some people but if you've seen our site and how the leagues/races are set up you would understand why they don't have the need to go elsewhere. I haven't seen all the international leagues but from what I've seen we have them much better organized and the racing is awesome, so why race anywhere else when what you have 'at home' is so nice?

We have our team forum and we can share setups between team members and have all kind of stats all in one website, and the most important, we have fun, just like a big family. And that may be the reason because when a spaniard gets flamed/attacked for something lots of them come here (I must say some comments are out of place though).

Quote from arrechee :

I Play since the s1,since 2003-2004 year,yes,i not have many milles or km online,but i did many laps hvlc,the cuestion is playing a lot,its imposible to go fast with a person that run few laps in this simulator

Do you think you'll ever have time to compete in any of the international leagues? The Spanish league is certainly one of the best organised and most well attended leagues around, but I think it's possible to take part in some other races additionally . IMO it would be cool to have a Spanish entry in MoE or IGTC for example, and these races only take place once per month. You could get Zanini and Elgar and some others on board? :P

Quote from chaa :

I think the miles you drove online don't say so much... a lot of people just practise offline and as a result they don't have driven many miles...

That's true, but you'll always find Arrechee practicing for races online, and given how quickly he'll upload a series of hotlaps I don't think he spends long on them.

I disagree with most of my teammates - I reckon Arrechee's proven himself as the quickest over 1 lap, and it's even more impressive when you consider he's got less than half as many miles as Ray in the sim and far fewer than Norbi also.

It is a shame that none of the quick Spanish guys seem interested in racing in any international leagues though :P.

Quote from Victor :

Is there a website / are there webpages that can be linked to with rules, standings, etc?
As a general rule I do not add sections for leagues without a website and that are still in planning stages.

Yo Victor,

Would it be possible to get a spdoRacing GP2 Series sub-section now? The first race is on Tuesday, just four days away, and we've now got a full ruleset and currently have 30 guys signed-up to race in Round 1.

Our site has a schedule and will hold replays and results once the first round is complete. Standings will most likely be on the forum, but we've already got more web functionality than most of the leagues on here.

Cheers

arrechee rox \o/

Okay, I've created a new thread with the final schedule, rules and some other information.

A registration thread for the opening round of the season will be posted within the next 12 hours.

Quote from BenjiMC :

ye i saw, can just make a simple web page no? calendar on one page, points on the other. something simple like that.

Well we have a schedule on our site and obviously the results and replays will appear there also. That's already more than most leagues manage, so I don't really get why Victor wants more. If time allows I'll make a little script to calculate championship standings from the results but right now I've gotta get on with my uni work.

Quote from BenjiMC :

gonna get a league section? or make one on your forum?

I want to get a sub-forum, but Victor doesn't seem to want to give us one. I'll figure out a temporary solution though and make sure everyone's able to find any necessary information easily.

Quote from The Hammer :

I don't know if I'm fast enough to race with you people but I'm interested
How exactly does the sign-up process work?

Sign-up will be on a round-by-round basis with sign-up for round one beginning tomorrow.

I'll post further details later on today .

Quote from Trekkerfahrer :

additionally we want to know if the second spdo racing team is willing to take part too... we can´t allow that: one car only per team

Small change of plan - we'll keep the name Qlimax Motorsport but Simon will move over to the QM line-up as Kloun already said. The spdoRacing entry which I posted earlier in the thread should be considered rescinded.

Cheers,
Josh
