Can I just add that I understand that running the extra race IS extra work and if Michele would prefer not to then that is up to him and I would respect his decision. He has already put in a lot of work.

I just don't like the reason that was given.

It'll be at least 15 by later today. I have not yet found time to qualify which I will be doing as soon as I get home from work.

Also regarding this post Michele made in another thread.

Quote from michele0676 :

He guys,
tonight round 2 prequalification will finish.
Actually there are less then 18 guys on pool C so at now i will not manage the pool C for Round 2.
I'm sorry for this but in Round 1 for Pool C a sent the email to about 40 racers but only 20 guys was in race.
This is really too bad and i do not want spent my free time with people that no respect me.

I find it hard to accept this as you are punishing the ones who turned up and not the 20 that didn't. The 20 that didn't turn up are the ones who don't show respect. The ones who did are the ones that you spent your free time with. They DID respect you.

Stick to your rules and remove anyone from pool's A, B and C that didn't turn up without notifying you. Would there then even be a need for pool C?

i was on my own line...

hahaha that is such a classic quote. Regardless of another car inbetween you and the curb, You still go for your line.


It has been protested, we shall let the admins decide the fault, if any, and I will respect their decision.

Quote from z-ro 8 :

Well actually.......put "retard" in your swear filter as watch what happens.

Hahaha yeah good point. Isn't it a double whammy too as you lose a little SR for the kick AND a little for the swear?

I was just making a smart ass remark as I am bored at work anyway.

The SR also doesn't pick up when the racer calls the server owner a retard

Ignore boothy, he just likes to wind people up a bit. He's not such a bad chap really.

Regarding your insim, it may be an inferior product, at the moment, but I think another insim comming on the scene is a good thing. Competition pushes people to make their products better.

I would love to see a proper alternate to CTRA, or a rotating TBO server.

But can you not also agree with a lot of the other posts? It is not the SERVERS it is the PEOPLE who chose to race on these servers.

There are many servers that have no points systems at all but are empty.

Quote from kimd41 :

I got the replies I was expecting. People protecting their "favourite" server, telling me to gtfo... doesn't suprise me since they're who full those servers.

One reply, Yes just ONE reply mentioned server names. The ONE that did mention server names actually gave you a nice reply. First he explained why the multiclass servers had points in place and then he kindly pointed you in the direction of a couple of single class servers which do get busy.

Hardly "People protecting their favourite server" is it?

Quote from kimd41 :

These multi-class servers are full because most people just look at the server with most people and join it. I bet if right now we filled a single class server and make it enjoyable it would get as popular.

You won't find much dissagreement with this statement on here. Many have said that the sheep follow the crowd onto the fullest servers. The question is how do we change it?

Quote from kimd41 :

I don't play in the single class servers because they're empty and I don't have the time to waste to wait for someone to join for hours.

So is it the people or the servers?

shameless plug

We at IHR have tried to offer an incentive to spend some time on our single class server. So far it hasn't worked as well as we'd have liked but you will not see us bitching on here about it. We will keep plugging away trying to build up some interest. Why don't you join us? New car and track every 8 races (OK not quite the 3 you mention in your OP), Tell us your favourite combo and we'll add it to the list. Tell us the combo you hate and we'll consider removing it(vote end is also available). Don't feed back to us and we'll do nothing.

/shameless plug

Quote from DevilDare :

Cool.

Suggestion from me. Restrict how many cars from each clas can be on track at same time.

In other words. Soon everyone will be racing in GT1, and when a new guy joins he will have to drive all alone in GT3, which is quite frankly boring.

So limit how many GT1, 2 and 3 class cars can be on track.

(Does that even make sense? )

This argument comes out all the time when a multiclass server is launched and, in my experience, it really is not what happens. Generally people will race in the car that most are racing in, which tends to end a class in the middle somewhere. Just my 2p

Good luck with the server

Quote from kimd41 :

...lots of moaning about lack of single class no points servers...

There were 2 single class, no ranking/points/rating requirement servers announced in this very forum section recently. Both were in responce to requests from forum users for single class servers. Both are currently empty.

What YOU have asked for has been provided but YOU have to support them, help populate them and give feedback to help evolve them otherwise they may disappear again.

Just to remind you all that this competition starts today at 19.00 GMT

We hope to see a lot of you seasoned lfs'ers going for the top 3 points per lap prizes.

I will try to post weekly updates of who is currently in 5 of the 6 prize positions.

Good luck to everyone that takes part.


Edit: Due to my inability to read a diary and subsequent fail, the competition will start approximately one hour early(18.00 GMT). What difference will one hour make to 60 odd days?

That has to be one of the most fun things I have done in lfs so far. The first few laps were epic and to actually lead the race for a short period for me was . It was a damn shame that real life got in the way and I had to retire.

Thanks again to deko and the whole team because without your passion it wouldn't have been half the event it was.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

To celebrate the opening of our brand new server, (IHR)Random Madness, we have decided to run a competion.

There will be a first prize of £50 and the remainder of the prize fund will be shared equally between 5 runners up. This will sent to the winners via paypal.

The competiion will Start on the 3rd July 2010 at 19.00 GMT and run until the 31st August 2010 19.00 GMT

To be eligible for a prize you must run at least 200 laps on the server while the competition is running.

There will be 6 racers picked from the following criteria and the winner will simply be drawn out of a hat. The criteria will be:

Most amount of Driving points (!ptd)
A Random position in the driving points ranking (!ptd) This number will be decided with input from lfs forum users after the event.
Most amount of laps driven
Top 3 points per lap (if you score 200 points in 200 laps your points per lap will be 1) In the event of a tie this will go to the racers with the highest safety rating.

In the event of the same driver filling more than one criteria a different driver will be picked using one of the above criteria. (ie if driver with most points also has most laps then 2nd most laps driver will be picked.)


As you can see the first prize may not go to the fastest racer or the racer who has the most amount of time to spend on the server. With the random ranked player becoming eligible it really will mean ANYONE can win the top prize.

Our normal server rules will apply and the reports section on our forum will work in the usual way with full visiblity.

If you are currently banned from IHR servers we will be accepting appeals on our forum and will deal with each case seperately.


Good Luck


Ironhorse Racing

Edit: (IHR) Members are not eligible to enter this competition.

Ori's skin with corrected spelling.

A translator doesn't also add attitude.

With this being my first 500 my only goal is to finish.

Good luck to all racers.

It's cleverly hidden away in an old thread

Quote from dekojester :

Hello LFS Community !

The New Dimension Racing Team is pleased to announce the dates for the 2010, Third Annual, Kyoto 250 and Kyoto 500.

[snipped kyoto 250 stuff]

The 2010 Kyoto 500 will take place on 26 June 2010, with the green flag to fall at 16:45 GMT. Qualifying weekend will be 19-20 June 2010. The 2009 Kyoto 500 was an awesome event with over 100 signups, about 75 people eligible to try to qualify, and about 50 drivers actually taking qualifying attempts, and the 30-car grid only separated by only four hundredths of a second, beating the record from the inagrual Kyoto 500 which was a quarter of a second gap. We hope to have the same amount of drivers try to make it into this Greatest Spectacle in Live for Speed. Signups will open on 5 April, 2010. The event will follow the same qualifcation procedures as has been since the first running, but with some minor changes.

We look forward to seeing participation in these, two events, which we regard as our two most prestigious races of the NDR history so far.

Ahh Franky, just the man

Can you change the name of this thread for me to "IHR Server Updates"? That way it becomes a catch all and then all I have to do is educate Chuck to post here and not make another new thread.

Oh bugger!

That'll be my fault.

It will be repaired this week.

Thanks for pointing it out.

After listening to many suggestions and requests, from users of this forum, for a server with less cars, Ironhorse Racing is proud to bring to you it's latest server (IHR)Random Madness. Special thanks to Kevin Myers for the name.

(IHR)Random Madness is running a combo rotation with single class racing. Each rotation will be for 8 races with a 5 minute qualifying period at each change to help racers familiarise themselves with the change of class/car.

There will be NO entry, ranking, lfsei or safety rating requirements. (something else I have seen many of you ask for).

(IHR)Random Madness uses the same Database as our (IHR)Ironhorse Racing server so any points earned in (IHR)Random Madness will count towards your ranking at (IHR)Ironhorse Racing.

Current Track and next combo can been seen by typing the usual !tr command and a list of combo's in rotation can be seen by typing !list.

Vote end is enabled and can be used if you don't like the current combo.

Finally, if you would like your favourite combo added to the rotation or if you have any other suggestions/improvements then please either post in this thread or on our forum at www.ironhorseracing.net

Happy Racing

I'm sorry I didn't make the race last night. I was practicing and almost falling asleep and definately struggling to concentrate so I took the decision that it would be safer if I didn't race. I had a busy weekend burning the candle at both ends.

It was a shame as I'd managed to make it to every race but this and enjoyed every one of them. (well AS7 was not a good round for me but I'll forget about that one).

I'd like to personally thank all members of Something Awful for the organisation, admining and great racing. I had a good race for a few laps with Randy at SO Long and Spencer at AS North. This was my first LFS league participation and it won't be my last.

Looking forward to season 2.

:doh:

We haven't added more cars. Killfix forgot that he'd already mentioned it a few weeks ago.

We have reduced our minimum requirement to 100 LFSEI though.

My opinion: This was posted in the wrong place. Can a mod move it to LFS Hosts Forum ?

Ignore Ori's post, he's on drugs or something.

Here are our skins
