And thats the series!!

Results to follow as I expect no reports this week!! Post you racing and series experience and thoughts etc!!

Email's Sent. Early this time.

Good Evening Drivers,

RaceAlliance have returned their completed investigations in to the two reports issued following the racing of Thursday 3rd July 2008.

Report Four can be found here. (Flip v Red)
Report Five can be found here. (Red v RA)

General Note: It would be lovely to be able to end the season on a high.

Reports about to be published, Thread closed.

I've just been informed that RaceAlliance has made a decision over this matter, and so to this end I will close this thread and announce when I have published the related documentation.

All correctly posted entries accepted. Please check the website for the entry list.

Quote from Nick A :

Yeah, the 1 lap qualifying sounds good. How long does the whole event last?

Most LFS events seem to stay within the 2 hour mark, and we try to keep to that too..

Overall, it depends on the number of entries, but as a guestimate..

Quali - 20-30mins

Races 1-4 - 20 mins

Race 5 - 30 mins

So 90 minutes to 2 hours max.

Quote from Nick A :

I can't remember the last time I drove the MRT but I used to love it. I like the sound of the league so I'll give it a spin and then I might enter.

Excellent.. We find the Single Lap Qualifying Spices things up, then there is a series of.. well.. warm up races, shorter than the feature.. but still for points, so worth running etc.

Hope to see you there!

Quote from danowat :

Damn, could have been up for this, quite enjoy the MRT, trouble is 2 rounds clash with the Baby R , would it matter missing 2 rounds?, don't want to take a slot away from someone who would run all rounds.

Not at all, and it would be a pleasure to have you race with us Dan.

See you on track!

Not received anything as yet, when I do, I'll publish etc.

I was!

LMFAO you both made a drunk guy laugh/cry there thank you very much.

Case ****ing closed! haha

Just a small note. There are still a lot of Formula500 events on the Race Calendar.. Which could be removed. I can only edit them, but not delete.

Cheers.

Hi Ricers,

www.racesim.co.uk

RaceSIM has released the Confirmed Results of Round Three of the Series. You can view them over at their website. Once you hit the RaceSIM website, just click the Banner of the series you are entered in, and you will be taken to the Results Website for that Series, in this case, the F504 FormulaBMW Series.

From there, to navigate, simply click on a round.. Round Three will show you the latest round results etc.. From that tab, there are two links.. One to Results of that round and the other to Current Standings.

You can Download Replays of the Events of the F504 Series from the Round One Results Page/Link.

Note on Report Links: You will find if you click them, they do nothing. Dont say I didnt warn you. Reports from Thursday's round are not yet released.

The funny thing Flip... well I dunno how funny it is, but late in the race, just after Red had put a lap on me.. He was very slow. Slow enough that I could and did catch up and repass. Of course, having to let him go again because of blue flags etc.

But at that same point where you and Red had an incident earlier, Red and I had one too.. Except, the funny part of this one was that Red drove into the wall to the right, Flipped his car over the top/front of mine and landed in the barrier under the bridge.

I had to stop my car, while he rejoined, very close to the path of the Leading car. Now, that would have been funny.

--

Regardless of all this, nothing I or anyone else says is going to change everything. Ive not yet heard back from RaceAlliance over the two reported incidents from Thursday's race, and as this Appeal is regarding last weeks racing, I believe its safe for me to assume that the outcome of said reports wont change any of the finishing orders from this week's results..

So im going to post them up before I go out. I'll add in the reports when I receive the data.

Correct. As long as you are with 500Servers, the price you pay now while the 50% offer is on, is the price you will pay for the duration of time you decide to rent the server for.

Franky doesnt do thinks by (less than) half's

I think what it is more than anything Flip, is the non posting of the after race proceedure, which is causing most of this shit. - No one else has said a thing. After the first race, and the messages I posted to (complete the return to the pits).. Everyone, well almost everyone did.

And the real reason for it, is simply, if there was ever any highlights made of the series, its a nice way to end rather than with cars unrealisticly teleporting to the pits, or crashing as they do in pick up races.

The problem is with LFS, there are no built in consequences for after flag behaviour.

Perhaps if I appologise and reinstate Red's points, remove all the penalties etc, things will go back to being the way they were in the first two meetings of the season. Perhaps this really is a dummy thing.

Meh, each to their own. Simple fact is, its really not as fun as it was. When the fun goes, so does my motivation.

Now tonight, im out at a family thing. But before I leave, I think ill post the results.

sorry.. but no.

RaceSIM F504 FormulaBMW Series

Round Five
Races 9 & 10
Aston Club Reversed

Race One: 60 KM (19 Laps)
Race Two: 60 KM (19 Laps)

Round Five... Season Finals!!

Session Details:

Thursday's sessions will be operated by the F500 Race Director software.

Emails to go out on Thursday Afternoon.

Extra Announcement:

The end of race proceedure has been scrapped for this event. When the race has finished CLEAR the start/finish straight, then you may stop your car and spectate. Not elegant, but simply.

Christ thats a hell of a post to get through, but to me one major thing is apparent to me:

In none of this is anything Red's fault.

Im going to start with a warning (again).

Quote :

It's really simple. Kevin Higgens (Stoney) owns racealliance.com. Thats you guys (drivenbypassion). This is by nature a conflict of interest. The fact that you keep the ajudicators anonymous is ever MORE suspect. It's very much like Dick Cheney and Haliburton. He doesn't own any part of the company right now but people still think he is getting something because he used to be the CEO. In this case, this is such a massive conflict of interest and it is so easily solved by using a mediation service that is completely unrelated to dbp or racesim or you. As for you (Stoney) saying in a previous post that you just own the site and that its an ex-racer judging staff; I just don't believe you.

Believe me or not, thats your call. At the end of the day, what you read in the RaceAlliance reports are probably what will be will be etc. However, Dont use my name again in public. I hope you understand me.

1.) You even spelt my name wrong.. But dont worry, thats the last time you will use it here on these forums. I have not once used a read name to refer to anyone and I would be pleased if you would uphold that same moral standard.

2.) I am a driver for a team called drivenbypassion. I registered the domain name for RaceAlliance.net.

3.) (Ok, I said two mistakes, but while im here in list form, lets list the things we wont mention again huh Red). IGTC.. Do a superb job. Its clear that you reference them because you like thier rule set and the way the do things.. If you havent already, go sign up. I know the guys who run that series well, ive helped them out with their software and servers. However, as far as their rulebook goes... It DOES NOT APPLY TO F504. Period. End of this particular discussion, I see no reason for this to be mentioned again.

If you do not like that.. etc etc. End of.

Quote :

I attended the first session and was never told nor briefed of end race procedures. I was just asked if I had read the rules (ironic). That race, I speced out after the race was over. No one had a problem. No one mentioned it. Then when I make it to the podium I do the same thing and it becomes an issue. I don't sit around after the race looking at cars. I'm adjusting the setup. I don't have a lot of time in the week to practice so that is why my first race is usually my worst. So I miss a lot of the post race stuff for the first race. I think Stoney, that you really misrepresent my position on this. I think you feel like you told me about end race procedure. You didn't. Now I know, and I follow that procedure. I'm not a rule breaker by nature.

Fair play, hold my hands up here. I didnt notice you at the first session of the series. What you do after you cross the finish line, is your business. AFTER You complete the Session like the rest of the drivers. Being aware of what they are doing etc, you get me? Have you never wondered what the other drivers were doing after the race?

Quote :

How is this inconsistent.
-snip-

As this report has been closed for over a week, is there any chance you would let it die? Pretty Please?

Quote :

Had it been cleanly done I'm sure Stoney could use it to pick up girls because it was so sexy.

Ok, thats two things you have now posted that really have nothing to do with anything. Please dont give me a third.

Racing isn't personal.

Then dont make it so.

(With regards to your reply to flip), can you tell me why it is that you cannot see how you yourself could have avoided an incident there? Not that you should have. Personally, im used to friendly racing, were people care about the quality of the racing they are giving others. I have to accept that not everyone is going to take to the track like that. But you know, there was once a time were people did care.

EDIT: Ive been through this reply and stripped out the bits I shouldnt have posted. Full results will be out by this time tomorrow. Agree with them or not.. This will be over then. I really dont want the conclusion of this series overshadowed by this crap or anything else. I want people to be able to race each other without thinking "oh no, something is going to happen again here".

lmao, well... not yet

Whoops, my bad, had to do those manually this week as the software I was using to make em stopped worked because of patch Z.
