Basically what he said, I am dis-respectful, arrogant, annoying, ermm, also apparently I got told I was racist the other night, although I have black friends, trying to think what else, I entered a league race midrace so i could set the fastest lap, I was v annoying on the DSR server the other night, I think that covers it.

Its a road car, should'nt it be parked in the car park with all the others?

Yawn..

FXR is very stable, easy to drive quick enough to keep the racers moving fast enough.

We need a suitably qualified SC driver for CART and oneGP seasons..regardless of car, would be good to recruit a full time SC driver who can do what you need and understands what is going on/required.

We would like to enter FRO|Salaneuvos to this race in GTR class driving FZR.

Is this possible?

One other thing to add - I would say that drivers who wish to compete in the oval races (the 500 excepted which has its own criteria) should race and complete a certain percentage of laps of the preceeding road course races. This would keep the races as part of the championship and not have them invaded by oval "specialists".

Totally agree with Storm here. This led to a nasty incident in one of the rounds when i took Mr Storm Cloud out when trying to make sure I stayed with the 'oval specialists' as i needed the points.

Sorry about that Storm, it was a stupid move.

Making sure guest oval specialists cannot interfere with the seasons racing is a good thing and i agree that making sure they have competed in previous rounds would do just that.

All very true. But for the sinlge lap quali I ask again, should the 4 sec rule be scrapped (if that will be the format)? Was it even sufficient enough during last season?

I think it should be scrapped.

Its not so much how much slower people are that is a real issue, it is their track awareness that is the issue. If they are slower and move correctly under blue flag situations and don't impede the people lapping them then for me its no issue. Speed over a single lap, IE hotlap times dont tell you this.

Maybe some kind of 'superlicene' could be used instead where drivers who have shown competence in league racing of some description could be granted one automatically, those that haven't could be granted temporary ones in order to evaluate their driving abillity and race awareness. However i think to be able to race in a virtual F1 series, drivers should have competed in some league races of some sort, showing the organisers MPR's of these events could enable the organisers to make decision on the license application and their competancies to race.

The license could be used for collecting infringements too, IE, if a driver hits other cars under SC infringements or does not move aside under blue flags this could be noted on the license. Too many infringements and its revoked, barring them from the competition.

I also think that 'team owners/managers' should be much more responsible for the drivers they enter. In that teams should be docked points for drivers that don't follow rules as this would put pressure on teams to make sure drivers are firstly fully briefed in the ruleset and are also competent racers. This nominating drivers on the day should be banned, unless the driver is a reserve driver nominated by the team in advance of the event.

Quote :

I don't remembere how long the perionds were (because I cba to actually watch the races, I found it rather boring... which is also a concern)

Some of the races where boring Timo. I agree. Some however where excellant battles between very good racers. We just need more entries, entrants and teams to spread the battles out through the field.

Quote :

But, the sc is there for a reason. I don't think it should be completely removed but I'd like to propose that it would only be out for a lap or 2 max and only to provide everyone an evn chance for the restart.

Some of the periods where 6 laps, like at FE Black. Which is a long track and its simply too much. I agree, 2 laps is enough and should be the max.

Qualy: I think the one lap solution would be very exiting! Mixed Grid etc, the reasons are all above...

Hello Matze,

Yes, this could indeed add something special, in the Kyoto 500 it was quite a experience to do a qualy run in front of all the other drivers, its a nice added pressure..

Quote :

Race: In the last OWRL F1 Season the strategything was very different from other series, sometimes 3 stops were better, sometimes 2 stops. This was fun. Otherwise theres nearly no strategy if everyone has to pit only once. If the races are under 300km there will be no big strategydifference.

I agree here, the longer distance does allow for more on the strategy which at FRO we are all for. Its good, but the oneGP series must also not replicate OWRL. A longer distance could indeed add something to the racing i think. The strategy we employed ine oneGP for all rounds was the same, it is very predictable.

Quote :

SC: I took part in the last 2 rounds of LFSCART. In my opinion the SC stays out too long. The Effect was cold tyres and boredom... Do we need SC???? IN LFS theres no debries on the track, if a car lies upsidedown IRL its badly damaged and not able to race anymore. And the SAFETYcar-driver drove very unSAFEly... It was more like an UNSAFETYcar, haha, not very realistic.

[/QUOTE]

I totally agree here, for me the biggest ''issue'' throughout the whole season was the SC, it was out too long, it went too slow, it crashed and caused many problems. The drivers behind the SC appeared to fall asleep and start crashing into each other. It was basically a disaster and caused issues at most events.

Personally in LFS i dont see any reason for using the SC. I know oneGP was started to be as close to F1 as we can be in the virtual world, but in F1 SC's dont crash and the drivers behind it dont drive into each other. We race in the virtual world and should make the series as good as we can for that environment.

I would like to see something done about the SC and some discussion on what we could do to eliminate the problems caused by it..

Best, Maz

Quote :

I dont think anything will be improved from extending qualifying further. Only getting 2/3 chances is enough and if it isnt it makes the race more interesting for faster drivers who mess up.

Tend to agree with Paul, Storm and Boris here. Nothing much to be gained by extending it and the shorter session allows the possibility for one of the fastest drivers not to nail the lap and therefore a slightly mixed grid. 25 mins looks good for me.

Quote :

Im quite keen on the single lap idea also. We did it in UKGPL, the pressure of everyone watching as each competitor does their lap alone can be quite intense!

Yeh it can be intense for sure and certainly adds something to the event.

UKGPL? Are you driving in season 16?

Quote :

It's not like I did it on purpose, first collision was my fault, but I didn't expect him to brake that early, cold tyres does not help,

Ridiculous.

You can see his position on the track clearly, bottlenecked behind another car and you make no effort to avoid hitting him. You also should be expecting that on lap 1 of a long race with cars heavy on fuel etc. If your not capable of understanding that or driving on cool tyres you should not be racing. Use your head..

Quote :

rest of the collisions were probably due to me on and off the throttle but most of it was due to a chain reaction

You got it right first time.

The rest of the collisions where due to you being too close to the car in front, overly aggressive on both throttle and brakes as you near pass the car in front many times. Nothing to do with a chain reaction, just your driving. Its exactly the same as in previous rounds when you also hit cars under the SC. You simply have to give enough room to other cars for this not to happen, there is no excuse for it.

Quote :

, I didn't want to brake too hard and flatspot my tyres, anyway I always drive clean, if I hit someone it's either a mistake or racing incident

Thats not clean driving, causing a SC on lap one of a long race and then hitting other cars behind the SC and even making up places under yellows is pathetic driving. Definately not clean racing..

Quote :

i'm a aggressive driver when I need to be, doesn't make me a bad driver though.

No, your a aggresive driver when you dont need to be! like in lap 1 or behind the SC. Your miles too aggresive and ruin others races who are competing in a championship. How you dont get a penalty *or more* for making up places under yellows behind a SC is beyond me.

AMB, your a fast driver, not a clean racer and a absolutle liabillity for others around you on grids from what ive seen of you in oneGP.
Clean it up, race using your head - not your aggression.

Quote :

In both cases accident form AMB to Hibex, and Hibex didnt even say a word of complain.

We follow the rules Boris and Hibex doesnt complain as we dont want to breach the no chat rule. Complaints made after the race in the form of a formal protest is the way we play it..Great racing and driving from you this season, awesome performance!

Best, Maz

Happy birthday Deko.

Best wishes, Maz

Quote :

Teach ya to break straight after a blind corner then won't it, no need to protest, I'll withdraw anyway, soz woozy.

Such silly drama as always.

The SC was out due to you driving straight into the back of Hibex under braking for t3. I guess nothing to do with you either, they should not be braking eh.

Quote :

Edit: Protesting at the last round of the series, when a penalty to me will do nothing but give AA less points and you've still won, just not nice towards Woozy but go ahead anyway.

Nothing to do with that, you have hit and spun Hibex in previous rounds under SC periods, costing SR points. I am protesting your driving not AA team or Woozy who im always nice too as I respect his driving.

Quote :

There was no incident between Salaneuvos and AMB during the SC period.

You need to watch the replay from AMBs car. He hits Sala at least once under SC. No room for it in my book. As he initially caused the SC and hits people under the SC, even making up places by passing under the SC, i protested this appalling driving. Make of it what you will.

Hello,

Team Formula Racing Organization are looking for a skin designer to help turn our ideas into reality for our 2009 team skins. We will make sure your work is credited and displayed to a wide audience via broadcasts and coverage of the races we compete in.

FRO won the CART V8 and oneGP drivers and team titles this year, 2008, and we will be back to defend these titles next season as well as a full season of the OWRL F1 series. We have new numbers for next season, new sponsors and our colours are changing. We want to make a good impression with high quality FBM, FO8 and BF1 skins as always.

If you would like to help us prepare for the next seasons racing, drop us a line either here or at www.formularacing.org

Thanks! Mazar

Paul,

Unlucky mate. Don't stress, lap 32 point in the race, Sals in a easy 3rd with Hibex 5th after the stops. With pimpy's retirement from the server we take the oneGP Team Title, to add to Hibby's Drivers Title.

Way to go dudes! awesome debut season and congrats all in FRO team for a season to be really proud of. Thanks to all the team FRO drivers, Hibex, TenmanTaylor, Maissi and Salaneuvos. A well earned title for sure.

Congrats also to SR's Boris the Blade. Could not have done more for SR and a awesome seasons racing from you. Seriously well done, another driver for SR to be proud off.

Thanks to all at NDR for making the oneGP season possible. Will be back next year.
