Quote from Mikus1212 :

80% of racers were speeding under caution, penalties?
6.4.2 Drivers should maintain a regulated speed while catching up to the leader and/or Safety Car. Safety Car speed under caution is 100 km/h (60 mph).

Hey Mik,

Yeah. Niko forgot to audit the rulebook, this rule is supposed to be changed. As stated in the Pre-Race Driver Brief where everyone was listening, I stated that once Safety Car is called, drivers are to not pass other cars, and catch up to Safety Car at slightly reduced racing speed, then follow SC speed of 100/60..

Rules will be updated, but this is why the Driver Brief is important.

Thanks MicroSpecV. In fact the voucher Flotch sent to me was not for S1. It was for S3. I am really confused. Thanks again Flotch.

Hope you read my edited post above about Unknown21 and Sermilan too!

Congrats with your new licence, see you on track either in race servers or cruise!

**edit
UM21 and Sermilan wern't being mean - they were just being cautious. There has been a rise in "cracked" users who pirate the game, as well as already-licenced users opening a new demo account and begging for it to be sponsored so they can have two accounts.

You can actually go back in the forums and see some as examples, and plenty of these "noobs" in the S2 Giveaway thread sponsored by Kris. Its these people that made the community quite weary and if it wasn't for me coming to this thread late (and hearing your story), I would have said something similar to UM21. Far too many have fooled people for the majority of the community to just let something like this slip.

Hope this explains their reactions, and I hope you get their point because they are actually very nice people

Let's just put this behind and don't hold grudges, in this small community there is no need for disgruntlement.

There are plenty of leagues running about in licenced servers, previously most leagues ran in European timezone but me and nikopdr just introduced a brand new series with slight pushback on the start time to mske it feasible for people on the other side of the globe to race with the European racers as well. (Layout Racing League)

Anyway besides the selfless promoting, in short, there are activities in licenced LFS, covering many tracks, car types and race type. There's rally, race as well as custom stuff like LRL, as well as fun races like GT4tube event days or RTFR Extra Large.

Demo is where the largest pool of users are because thats where all new users join into in Free-to-play LFS, so of course Demo has the most active and largest community - but licenced is far from dead, and if racing doesn't suit you you can always check out Cruise communities, particularly TC Citydriving or Reality Cruise and so on.

**
there are actually active rotating servers in licenced just like the ones in demo, B2R has one as well as MRc I think, just that no one joins to start the server up.

Looks great. I was thinking FZ5 for Midtown, but XRT is always a good choice.

Thanks for suggestion

The pre-season race was one to remember, with tight, hard-fought battles through the field to the finish.
It was 9397 asserting his dominance and leapfrogging his rivals to cross the line and claim his and the series' maiden win!



Qualifying


The streets of the Mid-Town Ring proved to be tricky and slippery, catching out certain drivers throughout the session. Katila topped the sheets early before 9397 set the pace and stood on provisional pole before 6Speed's Getrag pipped him right at the end. Them being the only two drivers to dip into the 35's, 3rd place was taken by Air Support's Kadir, closely followed by World Class Lion's Katila, who took forth from Cyankill by less than 4 hundredths of a second.

GT4Tube put in a great lap to secure 7th, upholding the cruise community while Kage and biroot rounded up the rear, 3 seconds down on the pole time.

Race

7. Vinsu +6L Accident 8. Cyankill +8L Mechanical 9. Getrag +9L Mechanical 10. Kage +15L Mechanical
Fastest Lap : 9397 - 1:36.07
Penalties :
Vinsu 25 SECOND POST-RACE TIME PENALTY - DRIVING INFRINGEMENT
Getrag DRIVE THROUGH PENALTY - PIT EXIT VIOLATION


The race proved to be full of action and errors, with mid-field battles lasting from lights to flag. No one was certain who was going to win, with the pit-stop bringing traffic into play.


Getrag leading the field through the opening laps

On the start, it was boost-time for Getrag, creating a gap to the rest. 9397 made a poor getaway, with Katila and Kadir getting the jump into turn 1. The field was relatively well-behaved in the opening laps, with no major incidents, apart from a careless tap from Vinsu onto Rydh which sent the latter into a spin down into the Carpark Hairpin. Vinsu would later retire, nullifying his post-race penalty for the incident.


Rydh getting the lightest of love taps, going round down at Turn 6

The first stint of the race witnessed tough battling for the podium spots, with pushing and shoving between the pack, all with great respect. 9397 eventually came out on top, with Kadir and Cyankill fighting hard for the final step of the podium.



Lap 4 and the tough street-circuit caught out its first victim, with Cyankill clipping the exit wall at Saxon Gate Chicane and coming undone from 4th position. Katila advanced up to 4th while Cyan lost ground waiting for the drivers to pass before rejoining.

Cyan would later retire the car on Lap 14, after making 2 pit-stops following camber damage, citing the huge gap to the cars ahead as the cause. A pity as with the pace he had a podium challenge would have definitely be on the cards.


An error from drivers seeing free positions being given away

A couple of laps later, Kadir dropped it coming in to Turn 3, running down the escape route and letting 9397 up into 2nd place.
Kage brought the car into the garage on Lap 7 with suspension damage, taking it one too far with flirting with the barriers on pit entry, ending what was a miserable race in last place.

Getrag fell foul of the pit-exit line coming out of his pit stop, receiving a Drive-Through Penalty, which would ultimately see him drop down to 3rd place behind 9397 and Kadir, before retiring from the race. A sad ending to his race which was proving to be strong and possibly an easy win!



As the race wore on, drivers felt the fatigue of a street circuit, most drivers scraping their cars along the walls and pushing too hard. With only 5 laps to go, GT4Tube made his one and only pit stop, putting in a great in lap to come out ahead of Rydh, and began to hunt for the podium spot and close the gap to the struggling Kadir ahead.
Kadir slipped and slid, struggling with tire temperature with only 2 laps remaining, and the Cruise sensation was slowly catching up. With no safety-car in sight, it looked like the Air Support rookie would be easy takings, however, Kadir managed his tires well enough to maintain the gap at the close of the race and take home a well-deserved 3rd place. Rydh himself felt the brunt of one of the walls in Sector 2 and dropped back from the podium charge, leaving GT4tube to bring home 4th, an excellent result!

However it was 9397 who took the race win, setting the fastest lap in the process ahead of Kadir and Katila!

An interesting race with the turnout we had and we hope to see much more action in Round 1 of the LRL - Layout Racing League.

Thank you to all participants for this race and congratulations to our race podium finishers! Race and Qualifying replays are attached.

Stay tuned for more information regarding the series start formally.

Aforementioned suggestions may be taken into consideration and circuit tweaks made before Qualifying tomorrow.

Thanks!

I don't even think this Yuri guy is earning anything at all through this.

Doesn't surprise me if he also owns a drug cartel in Sau Paulo lol

@Yuri
Hope rippinga game and then earning absolutely nothing besides wasting your time is making you happy - you've probably jinxed your country's World Cup results for the next 7 years

Welcome to the series and we hope to see you all there this Saturday for this Non-Championship promo race!
Niko and I will be your race marshals and hopefully we'll have the Safety Car driver ready as well.

Remember, when you flip or sustain damage that makes your car nearly or completely immovable, do not quick-spectate. Wait for the marshal's decision!

IMPORTANT!
Safety car will be called through onscreen RCM - Race Control Message.
When shown, drivers are to slow to 100 kph, or 60 mph. No passing!

Pitwork is not required, however, pit strategy is encouraged!

General racing etiquette is to be observed, do not cause crashes. As with any league, complaints and protests are to be published here once the event is over.

On another topic, has any server admin introduced autoban for the phrase "lfspro.(etc etc etc)" yet on their Airio or Insim? Has it been effective?

Quote from Czerwony Smok :

I'm not defending LFSPro LOL I don't care about LFSPro because I have S3. I'm defending players who buyed LEGAL LICENSE and get banned for playing on LFSPro except players who advertising LFSPro here.

Not sure if you've got the brain cells to realise, but the 'legal licence' users would not play on LFSPro, why? Because they can play on the actual master server...? Lol

And those who choose to play on LFSPro even with legit licence, well, either they are the Admin Team and Server owners of the servers on LFSP, or they just want to play with their friends - and they won't get banned from LFS unless they too have no brain cells, and decide to post their excursions and pictures of themselves on LFSP here on the LFS forum...

Scawen is not out to ban his own game'a community unless the community itself has turned against his very creation (E.g LFSPro users promoting the crack)


LFS is what it is, you've bought it at some point because you wished to support the Dev team and enjoy the content - why you have suddenly felt the need to get defensive for any point regarding a cracked community is amusing.

In any way, us by talking about lfspro is already giving the retards more attention to their 'services' then any advertising would do. Ignore them and ban on the spot those demo users advertising and that's all we have to do I'd say.

Love,
Nikopdr & Nova

Woooo 9397! Boreas is one hell of a track

I think we can all agree on one thing :

We don't have updates. Yet.

People may prefer to have more of something, myself included. But we have to be patient even if we don't want to.
Those who play only on lan or singleplayer will not have the right to say they wish for more, until they have tried literally everything in the game.

Then a suggestion post or an opinionated post is validated.

Even with that being said, everyone is open to their comments and I agree that 5tag that we need more cars and variations.

But we have to wait. Updates will come. Just... not yet.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Join the GT4Tube Epic Event later today at 1800 GMT+1.

Thank you to GT4, Broker Hill Layout will be used in the 3rd running of this Event.
