In the real world this is correct, over inflation *like the high pressures often used in the game* would cause the tire to slide massively and this would severely overheat the surface of the tire without building heat within the tire.
Overheating the surface while under heating the sidewalls and the absolutely critical bead area between sidewall and surface.
The high pressures often used in the game would destroy the tire completely within just a few laps. Overheated slicks are also effectively useless there after.

Many thanks for the clarification there Angry Angel.
Great news that your working on the replacement, many thanks for the efforts and look forward to seeing it live.

This is not a solution.
It is no longer working, I asked SamH about this yesterday and this is not going to help us as hosts to block cheaters from fair racing servers.
We need something else, we need it now before this grows further. Today 3 more bans already on the BF1 oval server. We are now up to at least 20 x 999 day bans across 4 servers.
Totally agree. Something needs to be done now and this would allow us at least some protection.
Best, Maz
Yes. There (i suggest) should be a chat room where people can go to chat if they wish to.
The main room should be for strictly race control.
Totally agree Ben in race chat must stop as it is impossible to see the important messages from the chat.
Best, Maz
We will set up this week a account for all racers in LFSCART series on the TS server. Account names will be race numbers (you can change name in TS to one of your choice) to keep it simple for us and we will put in place a standard password for you to share I will get the details to you tomorrow Falke.
You can download Teamspeak here.

In that situation the danger is that 4th brings with him a back marker into effectively a battle for the lead. Although the back marker may be able to draft with a faster racer he should not be in a lead battle as his presence in a 3 car battle would most likely determine the race finish..the opposite is also possible (in that the backmarker could be faster) and a car a lap down drafting with the leaders is still also of course still racing the cars behind him.
Great
J.Grainger was kicked earlier this week from the #4 server for more or less the same things. He was kicked while he was about to be vote banned by other racers on the server. Also, he was kicked this morning during races and managed to hit at least one other car while on the formation grid!
Best, Maz
Understandable. I can understand, please use the server teamspeak in future as these situations are avoidable easily with some communications.
Best, Maz
Fantastic race, congratulations to Hibex awesome back to back warm up race wins and great driving by all, thanks.
Public apology to Ben (Core Racing) who i hit under yellows. I was talking on TS and trying to type admin stuff at the time.
No excuse, looked up and you had already slowed. Terrible driving by me, sorry.
Not so much of a problem, just a concern. FRO admins come from England, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Holland and most European languages can be handled.
If we get the racers through the server and inform them then we can get them up to speed with TS and use of. I think after the first two events its critical to smooth running.
A few other comments:
1) Safety car procedure.
This cannot be a variable, must be written in stone what is going to happen under Yellow flags. As hardened road racers need to know clearly what will happen with these situations. I slowed, increased speed and was unsure myself in the yellow's today it isnt easy to read messages being past in the txt chat when driving.
This aspect of the rules is the most alien to road racers and i think the biggest danger for the race and admins to control. Making this very clear and easy to understand is vital i think.
Also, it should be a standard procedure not a variable in my opinion. Crash, yellow, slow no pass and line up behind car for 2 or 3 laps.
2) Pitting.
Again this needs absolute clarification. Exactly when you can pit. Conditions of, speed etc. People where passing after pit lane entry, inside the cones.
2) Timings.
Clear timings. At 4pm qualifying starts with drivers meeting of 5 mins. Then 30 mins or 1hr qualifying 1 flying lap. Then clear timings for the race.
This will really help us i think as we can issue clear instructions in multiple languages to the racers and they will know clearly what to expect and exactly when.
3) TXT Chat.
This has to stop. Cannot be as it is to confusing and requires racers to read every message. If the rules are clear enough and all racers are confirmed as knowing them there is nothing to talk about.
Abuse of messaging is dangerous to the event and racers should be penalized.
4) Blue Flags.
Are cars under blue flags allowed to race with cars further up the race order? should there be a limit? ie, cars that are more than -2 laps should move aside for leaders and let them go? a clear instruction/rule here i think needs to be in place.
Today's event i think was a major leap forward from last weeks, starts much much better. Keep it coming guys, going to be a hell of a event with 50 plus cars trying to qualify for the 32 slots on the grid. Makings of a awesome event, thanks organizing team, your doing a great job.

Mistakes happen, apologies for the kick.
Yesterday you where kicked for crashing the field. We are not corrupt, drive clean, stop swearing, read the rules and there is no problem.
You are unbanned.
Best, Maz
Huh? like you know me? I do not know you. Those that do know me I am sure would agree with you. We race hard and have lots of side splitting fun on #4 server almost everyday, great times for all.
Making 'fun of' or 'joking around' is not what you where banned for, as you well know. As you appear not to remember, I will make it clear..
You where banned for firstly claiming to be something your not, for stating clearly your admin of this series when your not, for telling competitors that Bump Draft was allowed (and if not would be changed in the rules by you) and then returning to the server and instantly flaming admin's. You did not get even get banned on the first visit, we where simply embarrassed for you. You got banned on your second visit when you instantly started with the flaming. The ''big I am'' attitude don't wash with us and ego's are best left at the door.
So no, your ban will not be lifted from the #4 server, you cannot even be straight about the situation dude..
However, I mailed Falke and Jo straight away to say that your ban would/could be lifted for official practice sessions/races on the server by them and you are not banned from the #2 server that is the dedicated LFSCART server.
It is always best to read the rules before quotation of them and don't pretend to be something your not RacerHero..
Best, Maz
Sure you did..we would not say unless 100% sure and I am sure we have still got the replay, if not its on the wrecker blocker posted by one of FRO admins...ill get it and post it for you, just to remind you what a filthy liar you are.
Best, Mazar
Spoken like a true cheat...You can't even be truthful with yourself.
You have used it on others Race Servers, you come onto others servers using speedhack, when asked you deny it!..you and your team mates are cheats nothing more which is why banned from so many servers already.
That is what we are complaining about.

Correct for sure..all of them banned from all of our servers. Not racers, simply cheater's.
Yes we just started doing so too. Has this proven to work in previous versions?
Maybe we could also share ban lists (somewhere where we can name names) and make sure they are banned from as many servers as possible for as long as possible and as soon as possible.
why use the cheat to get a "new challenge" when the competition comes with other players, not new 'programs'?

Hi all,
Many thanks for the contributions..a question.
Does the game transmit the acceleration gforce's data?

Tools to combat cheating?
Hi,
Is there anything we can do as a host to combat cheating?
As a team, hosting races are there any tools we can use to help combat this on our servers?
Many thanks, Maz
