The beloved Lmaoring played host to the 10th round of Layout Racing League. The fast, flowing circuit provided us with some good racing and an exciting final half of the race!




Qualifying Results

The qualifying session was graced by the Born2Race (B2r) team, with Ayoub setting the track alight with provisional pole, before his team mates Twincam and Spiky attempted to up the pace, with Twincam getting to pole beaten by the smallest of margins. Championship contender MRc's Michal slowly crept up the order, but could not threaten the B2r squadron in the top 3. Boy made a return to the series and put his XRG in 5th, ahead of the Race Green duo of Maciek and Redbot. LCS-R Mate sat in 8th, ahead of Air Attack's Rane. Two rookies, Vanessa and Talha sandwiched HR Cooper at the back as they learned the ropes.




Race Results




The start saw Rane get the jump on the XFG of Mate, as an excellent getaway from Spiky up in 3rd got him into the draft of his team mates up front in the run down to Turn 1. Twincam locked his rears as he dived down the inside of Ayoub, spinning himself out of 2nd place as the field navigated around his spun XRG.

Michal found himself in 2nd as Spiky lost momentum out of the first esses sequence, with boy elbowing himself into the wall, lucky to avoid getting collected by the charging pack behind. Maciek slipped past Spiky into 3rd, as further behind, Rane found himself in 6th ahead of Redbot. RD2 also made a fantastic start, leaping up to 8th from his 11th place on the grid.



The start of Lap 2 saw Vanessa miss her braking point, sending PitlaneRacer into a spin as she retired from the race. Boy, who at this point was down in 17th and last, retired from the race after what could have been.

Up front, Ayoub began setting the pace as he worked to pull away from Michal and Maciek, with Spiky getting past into 3rd after a bold outside pass on the latter.




Twincam was slowly making a recovery after his shambles on lap 1, passing Cooper and Talha as he made his way into the midfield. By Lap 6, he was into the top 10 after pressuring WCL's Soini into an error down into the final chicane, and on Lap 13, he was up into 6th and back on the charge for the podium.

As the race passed the mid point, it was still Ayoub up front as Michal was slowly being reeled in by Spiky. Maciek led the Race Green pairing in 4th, as Twincam was set to pass Redbot with his pace advantage.




A daring pass saw contact between Redbot and Twincam, which sent the B2r driver into the outside wall and then violently into the next row of barriers ahead, catapulting him into the air and flipping him over, ending his heroic charge up the field. MRc's Talha had also turned turtle at the last corner, which saw the track blocked by two vehicles - bringing out the Safety Car, which saw Redbot, Jereloco, Rane and RD2 bolt into the pit lane for their compulsory pit stop.

Mate, Rookie, Soini and PitlaneRacer followed suit and made it into the lane just before a Red Flag was issued - meaning they had cheated death and completed their stops, where unfortunately, race leader Ayoub, who was past the pit lane when the flag was issued, could not. Talk about a stroke of bad luck and bad timing!





The grid reformed for the race restart, with the top 5 yet to make their pit stop. Ayoub led Michal and Spiky, then came Cooper a lap down, who was wedged between the faster cars.

As the Safety Car led the field to the green flag, Michal and Maciek took their pit stops, opting to drop positions at the start for a better, closer opportunity to pass cars.




The race restarted with Ayoub and Spiky on a mission to gap the field, setting fast laps right from the get-go. Cooper jumped out of the way to make his pit stop, which released Redbot and Jereloco to set their own pace in the quest for their podium. Michal, who was making a recovery after his pit stop, cleared Rookie and Soini and set after PitlaneRacer and Rookie.




Lap 32 saw both the B2r lead cars of Ayoub and Spiky traverse the pit lane for their stops, with Ayoub's 10-second gap to Redbot and Jereloco insufficient to maintain his lead! Ayoub emerged in 6th behind LCS-R Mate, who himself was having an excellent, calm race. Spiky emerged in 9th behind the Michal and Maciek.




A jubilant Redbot crossed the line to claim his and his team's first ever race win in LRL, with Jereloco coming home a close 2nd in what was an equally well-executed, smart race! Air Attack's Rane finished on the podium in 3rd, just ahead of RD2 and Mate. The unexpected top 5 was followed by Ayoub in 6th, who had set the pace the entire race event. Michal finished in 7th, which meant that Trespasser, who had not attended this race, would now be our champion-elect of Season 2/2020! PitlaneRacer finished in 10th, with Soini close behind in 11th.

Is the following possible to be added into insim output (the race results that you can extract from insim after race ends)? Extracted from conversation on Discord. Pardon 3rd party reference and speech.

Topic is about marco shifting through pedal axis and unregulated button clutch speed.

@number And this is why enforcing autoclutch doesn't do anything. LFS needs to have a value display for axis value/button rate for clutch - displayed in the final result table (the insim thing that marks X if you have Brake Help etc). Then that way all leagues can then regulate a certain value of which limits your pedal input value/speed.

BC isn't faster than clutch IF you use a realistic value. For me, I use 6.05. Which is slightly slower than your feet, but of course more consistent. That neutralises that. But for those who use value 10.0 for BC, then that's an issue. And brings my point back to the start that we need a value demarcation for axis and bc on final table result.
@Fatass ^
button clutch atleast is tied to button control rate in game
@Fatass Exactly. But it also needs regulation to how >much< bcr you can use. But the lack of the value displayed in insim result means no one knows if you're using 1.0 or 10.0

The tight confines of the Hong Kong Harbourfront circuit hosted the 9th round of LRL, and it was a race full of battles and paint rubbing!




Qualifying Results

Qualifying kicked off with drivers finding a line and rhythm on the circuit. With close proximity to walls, precision was important. It was MRC's Michal and Air Attack Racing's Rane who set the early pace as they knocked tenths off each other, before defending champion Trespasser clocked a provisional pole time. SIDUS's Gabor soon found pace and the top 5 constantly swapped positions as each driver went just a little bit faster. However, it was TRR's Trespasser who took yet another pole, ahead of Gabor and Race Green's Mandula, who had set a time good enough for the 2nd row on the grid ahead of Michal. Minve was pacey in 5th, with Team OK's Cyankill rounding off the top 10.




Race Results



The race flagged off and the drivers got off the line, a short run into Turn 1, with most of the racers holding position. Rane got a run around the outside of the corner as the others tripped over each other, and got ahead of Minve. Further back, Cyankill drew alongside a compromised Maciek and passed him into the next turn, and squeezed past Jereloco, gaining two positions. Mandula lost out to Michal and trailed the top 3 as the field scrambled for a piece of track.




Trespasser vaulted out away in the lead, with Gabor unable to match his pace in the opening few laps, dropping back into the clutches of Michal, who himself was dragging Mandula with him. Mandula made a mistake into turn 1, and came under fire from Michal, who was eager to get past. Meanwhile, the first pit stop occured with 12345, choosing to undercut his rivals. Rane was falling back from the top 4 after his brilliant start, now getting chased by Cyankill; and Rane's luck ended when he received a penalty for a chat infringement.




Zeinberg and 12345 got into an intense battle, which turned sour as the pair made contact down into Turn 2, sending Zeinberg's XFG into the barriers. 12345 would receive a penalty for this high-speed accident.

Back at the front, Gabor had finally found pace and was slowly closing up on race leader Trespasser. Both traded fast laps as they increased their pace, dropping the Mandula-Michal battle in 3rd behind. The battle for 5th between Jereloco and Cyankill continued as they traded paint, with Cyan getting increasingly frustrated, stuck behind the slower driver.




Rane's penalty dropped him into the small train formed behind Elmo and Maciek, and he slowly fought past the traffic. PitlaneRacer, the race's only XRG participant, had good early pace in the race, however fell back as the front-wheel driven XFG racers slowly picked their pace up, leaving him down in 18th behind Martin.





Lap 11 saw Gabor lose all the time he gained on Trespasser, as he ran into a spun backmarker of Zeinberg. A lap later saw Cyan get caught up behind Zeinberg, crashing into and spinning out off him.




Lap 14 saw the midfield come in for their compulsory pit stop, shadowing each other. Sabot emerged in front of TC-Racing's Elmo, while Maciek unfortunately had to hold station behind him. Fortune was not on his side as he then received a penalty for pit speeding!




A train behind CHV was now forming, with Rane stuck right in the thick of it. The train of cars fought throughout the second-half of the race, with Elmo coming under pressure from Rane, holding his ground steadily. The Air Attack driver then received his second penalty for another chat infringement, leaving Elmo to race home safely ahead of Sabot to a well deserved 7th. Meanwhile, further up front, Michal had his hands full with a fiery Jereloco, having to push till the end to stay ahead and grab another podium.




It was Trespasser who took yet another win, extending his nearly untouchable championship lead as the season enters the final few rounds. Gabor finished in 2nd, his SIDUS machine giving a good fight at the first half of the race. Michal held off Jereloco for the podium, while Mandula had to settle for 5th after an average second stint.

The fast yet technical Woodlands Raceway gave us an exciting race with lots of action throughout - and an unexpected charge through the field!




Qualifying Results

The qualifying session was a packed one, with drivers out to find the best line especially through the fast-paced Silverstone section. It was key to the lap and precision was what mattered up at the top. Pickard and Teho's Ngottini set the initial pace before championship leader Trespasser put his Team Rock Racing XRT onto provisional pole by quite a considerable margin, ensuring what was going to be another easy lights-to-flag win. Further back, JJD surprisingly outpaced Master Race Car's MRc Michal to snatch away 4th on the grid by the smallest of margins! The two Race Green drivers of Redbot and Maciek lined up 6th and 7th respectively, whilst newcomer Zesty from MRc lined up in 12th amongst World Class Lion's Soini, and HR Cooper brought up the back of the grid. Unfortunately, Redbot failed to join the grid in time, lining up in true-last due to LFS's grid system.




Race Results



Off the start, Trespasser covered the launch of Ngottini down into the first sweeping turn whilst Michal got an excellent jump on JJD, going ahead of him down into Turn 2. Into the braking zone for the infield section, Ngottini got ahead and past the championship leader, whilst Pickard had to fend off the fast-starting Michal. Zesty was thick in traffic as he made a good start himself, elevating into 11th, battling with PitlaneRacer who attempted a outside pass, whilst Minve and Sobis tussled into sector 2.




Entering the back straight, Trespasser encountered a technical glitch, hitting the inside wall and getting semi-spun out in recovery, dropping him from his unassailable lead into a lowly 12th by lap 2 - a place he has not been in since Season 1! This put Ngottini in the lead, Pickard in 2nd, and JJD in 3rd fending off a huge train of angry cars behind him.




Minve and Redbot took an early pit stop, attempting to undercut the pack in front of them, whilst they battled furiously. Meanwhile up at the front, Pickard was chasing down leader Ngottini, and a battle was soon in the making. An equally exciting battle laid behind them for 3rd, with JJD defending hard against Michal, who now had an opportunity to make up points on Trespasser. The train JJD had made now consisted of 5 drivers - Michal, Maciek Last Lap Motorsport's Sobis, MRc KIG and Trespasser, all of which appeared quicker! As the field spread and Ngottini kept Pickard in check, this 3rd place action was the battle to watch!




As the battle for 3rd intensified, Sobis found his way past Maciek, and JJD continued to make his car as wide as possible, which proved to be a huge problem for Michal, who was now under fire from Sobis.


Tight battling for 4th

As Michal tried to pass JJD, he out-braked himself into the final hairpin, which opened the door for Sobis to draw alongside, and the pair went side by side into Turn 1 and most of the entire first sector, with Michal eventually coming out on top. Trespasser, who was at one point in 12th, now right on the pair, and slipped right past Sobis on the final corner, putting himself back into contention, now in 4th. The TRR driver would pass his championship rival 2 laps later, with a brave pass round the outside at Turn 4.





Zesty, the rookie, was running in a solid 9th, before an ambitious line out of Turn 1 sent him spearing into the inside wall, dropping him back and getting damaged. JJD who made his pit stop right as the train began attacking him a few laps back, was in 10th, after making his way past PitlaneRacer. Michal had also made his way past Sobis to retake 4th, the latter who was now dealing with over-heated tires. Trespasser was now on the back of Pickard and was let past into 2nd, free to charge up towards Ngottini for the lead.




JJD, who was now trying to find his way past TC-Racing's Elmo for 8th, was too brutal with his pass, spinning Elmo around and getting himself penalised for the maneuver. Our first retirement came in the form of PlotNom, retiring his car on Lap 12. Redbot suffered a disconnect on Lap 16, with Cooper following suit 2 laps later. JJD then had his own connection issues on Lap 20, dropping out of the race in 10th. At the back, the other newcomer Beluthar, who was in his first race event, had a couple of chat-penalties after failing to abide by the series rules.




Lap 23 saw Zesty awkwardly rolling at the Becketts section, which brought out the one and only Safety Car for the race! Being this late into the race, the leaders, who had all luckily stayed out, shuffled right into the pit lane - a good timing, as they were just at the pit entry! Ngottini retained his lead out of the pit lane, with Trespasser in 2nd, whilst Michal got past Pickard in the stops for 3rd. Sobis was in 5th, ahead of Maciek, Minve, and MRc KIG, who was in a lonely race at the time.




The race restarted with Ngottini giving his all, bolting away from Trespasser, who very quickly closed the gap and pressured the Teho driver, who eventually succumbed and ran wide, letting Trespasser back into the lead with 1 lap to go! Michal, Sobis and Pickard battled to the line, with Michal holding on to his podium, Pickard in 4th and Sobis trailing in 5th. Further back, Minve held back Maciek and KIG as they also traded paint to the finish!

It was once again a stunning showing by championship leader Trespasser - once again showing why he is the man to beat this season, with a brilliant recovery drive to take another win! With the next race at Hong Kong Circuit proving to be one not to miss, will we see a challenge to our champion-elect?

Fern Bay plays host to the seventh round of LRL, where drivers tackle the fast, flowing confines of the Cadet extended course. Last raced in 2011 under the guise of Rony's Tuesday Fun Race, it was a sweet throwback that proved a nail biter to the very end!




Qualifying Results

Qualifying was initially headed by Team SIDUS and their driver, Botsi, who proved a tough nut to crack for championship leader, Trespasser. Trading top laps for the entire session, TRR's Trespasser was constantly out of touch by just a few tenths. Born 2 Race's Spiky was close as well, within touching distance of the top 2, eventually being the first to break into the 1:05 barrier! However, it was Trespasser who nailed a perfect lap to claim another pole position, ahead of Spiky and Botsi, who could not string together his own personal best. 4th was taken up by Air Support's Joz, qualifying well ahead of MRc Michal, who had his work cut out to close the gap to the lead of the championship. TC Racing's Adam made a late entrance, qualifying in 7th whilst Spiky's team-mates Ayoub and Skattle lined up 11th and 12th.



Race Results



The race got underway with an even launch from the front runners. Skattle got a jump on his team mate for 11th at the back, whilst near the front, Joz lost a position to the fast starting Michal down into Turn 1, whilst Adam sat behind watching the chaos. Down into the chicane, Spiky had gotten a run on Botsi and ran side-by-side, which inevitably resulted in contact and the B2r driver going off the road in a cloud of dust, rejoining way down in 7th, behind JJD. Adam had sneaked past Joz as the incident occurred ahead, while further on, Boy ran around the outside of the struggling Spiky, who just managed to stay ahead of Race Green's RG Maciek.



As the field got to terms with their positions, World Class Lion's Soini lost momentum following a pass by Skattle, and fell to the back of both B2r drivers and PitlaneRacer. Meanwhile, up front it was Trespasser who was trying to pull a gap on his closest rival, Botsi, who was not letting him go. 7th placed Boy was running confidently until he had a huge lag moment coming down the hill, which resulted in him spinning off, and earning a chat-penalty.



With Spiky's off-road antics, Michal was elevated into 3rd, with the train of Adam, Joz and JJD in close proximity behind in a train. Adam attempted a pass around the outside into Turn 1, which failed, while behind him, a early-braking Joz and a late-braking JJD proved the worst combination, with the latter slamming into the rear of the Air Support car, turning Joz into a 4-wheeled lawnmower off in the first turn. This let Spiky by into 5th, while JJD rejoined in 8th and Joz 2 places behind him. Up in 3rd, Michal had lost the fight to Adam, with the TC-R driver eventually finding his way past, leaving Michal to deal with the recovering Spiky.




As the race drew on, Ayoub and Maciek had quietly made their way up the field, remaining in 6th and 7th respectively. Up at the top end of the race, Botsi was giving Trespasser a run for his money, with the TRR driver deep in tire management. It was a exciting battle, with both drivers evenly matched. Lap 10 saw Boy retire from the race with a disconnect after a miserable run following his Drive-Through penalty. Just one lap later, Adam, who was down in 5th following tire trouble, made an uncharacteristic error, pushing too much and taking a liberty with the Turn 4 kerb, rolling his RB4 machine over and bringing out the Safety Car!


RG's Maciek playing the alternate strategy

The leaders piled into the pits for their compulsory pit-stop, whilst Maciek gambled on a later incident, staying out for track position, which placed him in a handy 3rd, with one stop to make. Behind him, Michal held 4th ahead of the fast-charging Spiky, and the now recovering Joz - who would later serve a Drive-Through for a pit lane exit breach. JJD was in 8th, with Ayoub in between him and the rival he punted off earlier, Joz. Skattle had now fallen behind Soini in 10th, with PitlaneRacer in last following a mediocre middle stint.




The race restarted with Trespasser once again getting a jump on Botsi, with Maciek running off at Turn 1, effectively negating his strategy plan, falling back behind the tussling duo of Michal and Spiky.



The race continued on with a titanic battle between Trespasser and the ever-increasingly annoyed Botsi, who could not find a way past the TRR driver. The SIDUS car was faster in the middle sector, but with nowhere to go, Trespasser would then run away in the final corner and down into Turn 1. Meanwhile, an equally thrilling battle was evolving for the last place on the podium, with Michal helpless to the prowess of B2r's Spiky, who eventually found his way around the MRc driver. However, Michal kept the pressure on, and slipped past back into the podium with a few laps to go and stayed there to claim another top 3 finish!

Maciek had pitted, dropping back to 8th in a failed strategy following his own excursion down at Turn 1. Soini had put on a late charge to close up on Ayoub to try to take 5th, however, he ran out of laps to make an impact.

Up front however, it was Trespasser who defied the pressure and tire trouble to take a stunning victory at Jamaica, taming his car and Fern Bay track to defend against Botsi, who gave it everything. Spiky finished a welcome 3rd ahead of Michal, with Joz recovering to finish 7th, ahead of Maciek and JJD. Skattle finished 10th, off the pace and unhappy with his performance, looking for a comeback in the next round!



It was an awesome 32 laps of non-stop action - will we see the same in the next round at Woodlands Raceway? Join us on the 22nd of August!

Quote from Excellent15 :mouse+pedals are superior. would use it irl no doubt. Is it faster than wheel? Yes, but no. I do use it, and i do get pretty damn competitive on it. It all comes down to muscle memory, grind, and how good you can adjust setups/predict car movement.

Rt that
Very true
would agree

But yeah muscle memory when it comes to kb/mouse input is vital, as we don't have the linear input that a pedal set would give. Set-up is also crucial in order to bring out the best in the car for the style of the driver - but there are also drivers like Gabor who basically worked with the fastest style and it worked that way as well Big grin

Quote from mbutcher :Do you use mouse and pedals regularly? Damn.
