Quote from Apoc112 :did i really just read this thread? yeah, the kid was being immature, but how old are you that you can't just overlook idiots like this?

We shouldn't need to overlook it. Childish abuse will be the downfall of this game, like all the rest of the online games if you let them get away with it.
It's not allowed in the forum.
Why should it be allowed in-game?

Thank you for reporting it for the community.

With an admin using an eagle eye it'd be fine. Although we could just open the event up for an enduro with say teams of 2. So it's a bit more of a proper enduro...

Event Rules

Rules are extracted from the CRC rules of clean racing. With an added section on the end.
When you sign up to the event, you agree to abide by the rules.
It's for your own good!

1. Passing: If you are passing someone on the inside while entering a corner you must have your car at least 1/2 way along side the other car to have the right of way.
If you try to pass around the outside when exiting the corner you must be fully alongside the other car, otherwise they are entitled to take the normal racing line, which may include pushing you wide.
In the event that they do start to take you wide, you should fall back behind the other car as safely as possible.

2. Incidents: If you hit another driver and gain a position advantage you must let that driver pass you before continuing to race on the track. This is especially important if you hit any driver(s) off the track and slow them down.

3. Defensive driving: The lead driver is entitled to make 1 move to maintain his/her position and 1 move to return to the normal racing line before every turn.

4. Re-entering track: If you go off the track in a race DO NOT instantly reset the car or drive back onto the track. You could possibly ruin another race in progress.
Again, you should use your map and look controls to see if anyone is coming.
When you re-join the track, keep off of the racing line whilst safely and progressively building back up to racing speed.

5. Car Damage / Fuel: If your car gets severely damaged in an incident and you want to try and make it back to the pit lane, then keep off the racing line to let faster cars pass. If you run out of fuel then move off the racing line as soon as possible or pit straight away.
We recommend that you turn your hazard lights on to let other players know you are a caution on the track (press 9 on your keyboard. 0 to turn them off).

6. Contact: Rubbing and tapping are all parts or everyday racing, so this is allowed as long as it doesn't harm anyone's race or gain you an advantage.
Due to occasional lag, small taps may cause a major crash, so be careful!

7. Race Rules: If you are being lapped by the leading drivers, then please let them pass you when it is safe do to so ( i.e. not in the middle of a chicane ), and as quickly as possible.
You should be told by an on screen message if you are being lapped, the words "Blue Flag" will be displayed.

8. Pitting: Pitting can become dangerous if you do not pay attention. It is required that you drive in the 'pit lane' used to enter and exit the pits.
Don't drive straight across every pit box, instead go to the furthest available pitbox.

9. Exiting pits: When exiting the pitlane and/or your pit box, make sure that it is clear before you pull away.
Use of the track map and the look left & right keys is recommended.
If cars are approaching, do NOT leave the pit lane or your pit box. They have right of way.

10. Deliberate Corner Cutting: Deliberate Corner cutting will not be tolerated.
If unsure about track boundaries, ask the host or Admin for clarification.

11. Changing Driver: Please time this correctly, you may come into the server 5 minutes before your pitstop is due.
Keep chat to a minimum, and once your pit stop is complete then you should be leaving within 2 minutes of completion.
This is to keep the server running smoothly, and to prevent clogging up of the server.

I'm sure you can all emphasise with these rules, they're being put in place to keep it enjoyable for everyone.

To Change Driver: Press the "T" on the drivers name when you're spectating. Then the current driver presses your "T" to accept the takeover. Then they drive in to make a pitstop, at the end of the pitstop you get swapped.

We'll have to see how the entries go (once we've got our own section *HINT* )

If entries are low (which I doubt), then you may run a full race on your own! (LFS arse is coming your way!)

Quote from Mazz4200 :Thats about as much as i play these days, but i still want hardcore sim racing. Infact i want LFS to become, or at least have as an option an extreme hardcore level similar to GPL pro level. No maps, no time splits only small pitboard once a lap if your lucky to spot it, no huge flag warnings splashed across the screen just a little bloke somewhere at the side of the track waving a tiny flag, brake fade, engines and gearboxes that disintegrate if so much as rev them past their limits, the odd unexpected mechanical failure thrown in every now and then, no rear view, no external chase view etc etc, the list goes on...... come to think of it, LFS is a bit namby pamby aint it. Mmmm, i'm feeling hungry now, where's me back of nails.....

Honestly guys, if you're whinging about how easy it is to fry the clutch in LFS go have a game of GPL on Pro level, see how many laps you do before the car explodes.

We're not complaining about the clutch (well I'm not.) I haven't even fried it once yet! I'm struggling to heat it up. Me and my tepid clutch *be's smug*

I'm tired, leave me alone!

Quote from Doorman :Gotta do better than 'I've heard'.

Anywhere's better than Chelmsford! I'm in Southend and I reside in Coventry for uni - both total dumps!

It was my dream to move away from the UK and into Scandanavia. The thought of Finland really appealed to me. The finn's i've met online have always been very nice to get along with.
Unfortunately I don't have any useful information. Although I do want the know the answer like you!

When driver 1 is racing, and the next driver is spectating(driver 2). Driver 2 clicks on the "T" by the side of Driver 1 in the connections list (press N).
Then Driver 1 also presses the T to accept ( i think it'll be in green) and then when Driver 1 pits, once his pit stop has finished you'll be swapped over!

Setups and Skins won't be changed when you swap. Only the crash helmet design will. (iirc).

Hope you can make some kind of sense out of that
