To all drivers and stewards
TBOC Challenge 2020 by NDR

30 Nov 2020, Formal Apology


Dear gentlemen,

I am writing this letter to express my apologies following the unsportsmanlike driving standards and subsequent outburst that occured during the running of the fifth round of TBOC yesterday, dated 29th November. I apologise for any hurt that I may have inflicted with my words in anger.

Off the midnight coffee and following a good sleep, I have taken time to reflect on my season and my actions that have brought me to where I am, but also ruined my reputation and demeanour. I have realised that my approach to racing is and has always been flawed - and that I was just a ticking time bomb in regards to penalties or hatred. I need to reiterate again that, I have always been aggressive and decisive and that has always been my approach and driving style (heck, even philosophy) and to date I have not been made aware of the consequences of such actions - until today.

I have taken this occassion to reassess my character and driving behaviour and will attempt to change for the better of myself and my fellow competitors; but it will take time and I hope in the meantime, I will not cause any further issues. I hope you all will give me the opportunity to better myself and race well once again.

In reference to the aforementioned, Car 88, Sean Lee accepts all imposed penalties derived from the existing protests at this time, to be applied in the official results for Feature Race (session) of the event. On behalf of Air Attack Racing and Newsroom entity, I thank whoever has been there to guide me and talk to me even in my anger. I appreciate that.

Once again, sorry and thank you, and I hope to race with you all again in the finale.


Best Regards
Sean Lee (AOR Nova)

nice warnings and stop & go, fantastic

here are some lovely exhibits :

1) sprint hlinka


what else can i do when he decides to miss his braking point, slide into middle of the road, and then brake check me when i'm midway committed through a going to the inside? and then I get a warning for him turning into me when i'm already 80% past his b pillar? right, okay. I'll brake check people next race then, since that seems fine to do. talk me out of that.

2) feature niko

moves under braking to cover me, making me swing wide at last moment. fine. then drives himself shallower than a plate, understeers straight on in the grass, and I catch his rear fender, and we interlock bodies like lego; I get a warning for this shit? Sure, he gets a penalty for blocking, but for his own line choice making him run into me , really? OK.

3) feature katila

i'm sorry, where's the 1-car width? does the kerb count or am I that fat? I'm right at the b-pillar so its not that i'm sticking my fingernail in. My car is there, and I pulled up mostly in time to make the corner. I get a warning and penalty for this?


Right. I get it. On the day where I am fighting Botsi for the championship and trying not to drive like an ****, people block weave and do dumb shit, shit that I get called out for. And I get the warnings, OK.

for 5 rounds i get up and stay woke on coffee till 2am+ just to entertain and give some rubbing and hard racing for the viewers and on the day where I'm trying not to drive dumb i'm the one that gets shit on.

"oh you should just be passive and let people by to stay safe" - what joy and excitement is that, i dont stay up late to play second fiddle. Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about at 3 in the morning. Maybe @bozz can vouch for the racing I gave him in the sprint. i dunno. Or maybe I should have just let him past. I don't know either.




side note : i'm sleepy and pissed to hell, so if i wake up in the morning all calm again I'm sorry for my driving/behaviour/speech, yeah i shouldn't even appeal for this i guess since it's over already, congrats botsi

Quote from nikopdr :

Feature Race; Servers: Main
Lap 20; Timecode 37:45.00
Car(s) involved: 88
Location of Incident: School Pit Straight, last chicane
Brief Description of Incident: No hard feelings. 88 slows down after Tarzan to leave a gap to the top3 drivers in order to try to get a jump from the restart. The gap created is way too huge in my opinion and unfair to the drivers behind. See attachment for the moment the leader floors it.

D:
But yes I didn't see that covered anywhere in the rules, and also rb4 is so chonky on chicane exit I had to try something you still blew past tho, dammit go slower. Anyhow, Good racing!
(also if there was a 10-car length rule or something I think I was still way inside that)

Counter statement(s) foreshadowing any Protests for 88 unless otherwise noted,

For following incidents under
Feature Race; Servers: Main

1) Lap 5, 12:00.00
Car(s) involved : 64, 88
Location of Incident : Final Chicane
Received bump from 64, resulting in missed chicane. Could not pull the car up, but rejoined safely and no time gained (incident should have been resolved during session already iirc)

2) Lap 10, 19:12.30
Car(s) involved : 30, 88, 64
Location of Incident : Turn 1
Car 88 makes defense to cover inside line, car 30 decides to send it anyway - car aforementioned misses braking point, takes 64 out ahead.
My POV : I held my line and in fact swung mildly onto right side to give a bit of room. Car 30 broke way too late by himself, out of my physical control of the scenario.

3) Lap 22, 40:35.49
Car(s) involved : 33, 88, 87
Location of Incident : Before Pif Paf
Car 87 makes passing maneuver, 33 decides to attempt follow-through on risky outside. Runs into side of 88, gets sent off into gravel.
My POV to 33: I was busy dealing with 87, I heard you but you were in my blind spot till I looked right, but you were already there. I would say unfortunate car placement, as it was a marginal move at best; plus you left a lot of room on your right and anyhow, I had the line and corner into Pif Paf. With my car positioning, there was exactly 1 car width from my door to the edge of track (and a bit more on the point of 1st contact). I could not have done anything else as you came out of nowhere into a place where you'd be left to dry any way.

Not protesting any of the above or Adam (cus adam good boi)

Cheers

Quote from Eclipsed :

Devs seem to be very cautious announcing their plans,as the community has been very unfriendly if the plans are not fullfilled.

It's because the LFS community is the key example of "evangelism backfiring". Don't even think early access would be taken nicely.... maybe from the few of us who would want new content asap

Check your internet connection. Looks like your IP is not receiving the data packets - this may be due to a poor connection, ISP issues, or even your firewall blocking LFS from connecting

Hi, can someone relink or upload the psd/png for this?

Qualifying Results

The drivers released onto the slippery, fast track in search for grip following their practice session. It was TC-Racing's Adam who set the pace from the very start, setting a mid 2:11 and choosing to sit out the session as the rest of the field played catch-up. Team Rock Racing's Texas was the nearest challenger, slowly upping his pace in search for pole, with Last Lap Motorsport's Sobis giving chase ahead of Chanturia. Sobis slipped back behind the two Race Green boys, whilst Texas came so close, but yet so far, from pole. World Class Lion's Soini qualified a respectable 6th, as Race Green's Maciek struggled for speed.




Race Results




The first (yes, first!) race start got underway smoothly, with Adam leading the charge down into the infield. A fumble between Soini and Elmo saw an almighty pile up at Turn 4, with Teho's Ngottini launching straight across the track, turning into a rocket as he centerpunched Seven!'s car, triggering a red flag, and full race restart.




The second start was much cleaner, and the pack charged into Turn 1 in search of real estate. Adam and Texas held their positions while Mandula's horrid run out of the dipper lost him a position to Redbot into Turn 3, then Chanturia and Sobis as he ate dust off the racing line. Elmo had made a stonking start, leaping up into 7th behind Mandula, as further back, Simgintas played it cautious at the back.




Up at the front, Adam clocked out as he focused on consistent laps and gapping Texas behind. Texas, who showed good pace during qualifying, could not stay on the back of the TC-R driver, and in fact, fell into the clutches of the fast-starting Chanturia. Defending through the fast Sector 2 chicane, a trip through the grass was all he needed to let Chanturia by, and put him under fire from Sobis in 4th.

Team Foreign's Ashkay had started the first race, but was given a pit lane start in the second one for bad ping, and unfortunately, was the first retirement due to that very reason.




At this point, Adam had already built a 4 second buffer in the lead, as Texas regrouped and hounded Chanturia, who went off at Sector 3, letting the TRR driver past, and inadvertently, Sobis as well. Meanwhile, in 12th, Jereloco had ruined his rear tires and was having a... fun time holding back a train of 3, headed by Soini, who had come unstuck from his qualifying position. Jereloco's defence would come to an end a few laps later, with a high speed spin leaving his tires completely dead, forcing him to retire.

A few places ahead, Chanturia made his compulsory pit stop early, choosing to get out in a gap in 10th, ahead of Essam. Chanturia would also retire, pulling off on Lap 7 after his own tires gave up due to poor heat management.




Minve had pitted earlier than most, but received a Drive-Through Penalty for pit speeding, retiring shortly after.

As the laps trickled down, Adam was slowly getting reeled in by Sobis, who was taking care of his tires way better than the race leader. By Lap 8, Adam's lead had diminished, and he was under immense pressure. A dive by Sobis into the penultimate corner saw Adam put up a perfect defence, blocking the LLM driver and retaining the lead for another lap - which brought Texas right back into the game with his equally better tires. The midway point saw a 3-way fight for the lead, with Adam running off under pressure at the fast chicane, handing the lead to Sobis barely staying ahead of Texas and Redbot - who at this point, had also joined the train.




Sobis, now in the lead, was in prime position to run away with the good tires, and he attempted just that, with Adam in hot pursuit, and Texas battling Redbot for 3rd. However, Sobis's set up consisted of a higher tire pressure to prevent overheating like Adam; beneficial, but did not provide ideal grip, and in no time, Adam had found his rhythm and closed right back for the lead, and made his move into Turn 1 on Lap 13, getting covered off before lightly tapping the rear of Sobis and sending him around. Sobis recovered to retain the lead, however Adam lost second briefly to Texas, before he himself went off into the grass a few corners later, falling to 4th behind both Adam and Redbot.




Simgintas, who was running in a lonely last place, had gone gravel surfing on Lap 12, and made the same mistake under braking on the following lap; this time, beaching himself clean and deep in the kitty litter, bringing out a Safety Car! At the very moment, Sobis had exited the pit lane as he completed his stop - meaning, Adam, Redbot and Texas had it all to do on their in-lap for their own pit stop. It was close, it was tight! However, the leading trio remained as Sobis, Adam, then Redbot, with Texas right behind.





Sobis led away from the lead on the restart, but did a poor one, as Adam got a great jump, and took the lead into the first corner as Sobis ran off wide, dropping way down to 5th before a dive on Mandula saw him spun himself off the door, facing backwards and getting collected by the other Race Green car of Maciek.




Up at the front of the pack, with 3 laps to go, it was Adam's race to lose, and he was making sure he was not going to do that, setting fast laps as he gapped Redbot. The downside? Overheated rear tires, the exact same issue as his first stint, resulting in a titanic battle for the lead, with Adam driving on his mirrors as Redbot struggled to find a way past, with the corners ticking down.

It was Adam for TC-Racing who defeated all the odds to claim victory for the final race of LRL 2020, just ahead of the fast charging Redbot, and Texas in 3rd. Mandula recovered to gift him and Race Green a 4th place, with his team mate Maciek right behind. Sobis, after his restart shambles, regrouped to finish 6th, ahead of Ngottini, Elmo, Soini and PitlaneRacer, who had gotten a top 10 finish in the mess that was the restart.
