Thanks for the ansewers to both questions.


ahhh yes!

Two request. What do you recommend to make those setups last for short races? 10-15 laps. And, how about a close up look at your Avitar .. just so we can read the writing.

My first time with more than one lap in the BF1 and I find it pretty good fun on that track.
That car sure is a PIG on the slow corners at least for me and my little time with it.

If LFS had a server option not to allow anyone who "telepitted" back on track for the remaining race, I wouldn't have to write rules about that either.

I'm so damn tired of people worrying about telepitting. The GAME already punnishes you in TIME for doing it. Get over it people!

Next you'll have a stupid rule like "No Spinning tires while exiting the Pits" Talk about a BULL SHIT Rule via the Le Mans 24 Hr race and series. illepall

Quote from banshee56 :

Unfortunately, due to an accident today in which I injured my hand (22 stitches & brused nerve), I will not be able to race this week, and maybe next week as well. I want to thank the SCORE guys for putting on this series. I have had a lot of fun and will be rooting for CoRe.PeterLaan (#68-P.Laan) to bring the championship home for CoRe Racing! Good luck to everyone, and I hope to race with everyone again soon!!

Jeezzz Man, I hope it heals 100%. Sounds like a pretty bad accident on the hand.
Wish you a speedy recovery.

Quote from BlueSkunk :

hi,

some observations on protest procedure:

the procedure in this series is that drivers are the judges in case of a protest. fine. i got notified of driver x having made a violation in lap z. i shall now watch the replay and speak a verdict. anything from innocent, 30 sec time penalty, starting at the end of the grid next race, etc.

how can i judge a drivers behaviour if i am not told what the complaint is about? "a violation in lap z" is really unprecise. the driver in question can do many things in one lap, being involved in a crash, cutting in front of another driver, being lapped, whatever. which situation is the one to judge? assuming that it is the obvious crash in that lap is still an assumption.

therefore i'd suggest that complaints are stating the actual situation the specific driver was involved in.

any comments?

I'll comment. Even though I'm racing another division I still love to watch any replays I can if nothing else but to learn.
I just watched the individuals mentioned on several of the laps up too and after the laps mentioned per driver. It is a very entertaining watch as you EURO guys are VERY aggressive to your racing mates. South City brought this out best so far. Too me, all incidents (but one) looked like close (aggressive) racing mistakes and not intentional.

Good luck to all on the next event.

Quote from Viper93 :

For the American Div. I don't know if I will be able to make the race. I am working long/odd hours.

I know how you feel Chris, I missed the last event. At least its a good series to have fun in no matter how you end up.

Today, we at the "Land Of The Free" welcome our 20th member.

Congrats CoRe.Bee and CoRe.RMachucaA. You going to enjoy racing with the CoRe guys I and other LOTF members do.

Quote from banshee56 :

I saw you gaining that .3-.5 per lap and I knew I should have pitted, but didn't. Haven't run a long race like that in R2's so I didn't know you could push them once they started wearing. I know better now!!! Both of my pit stops took only about a second, as I didn't fuel up, change tires, or have any damage to fix.

Yeah, that PB was really cool. My split was 31.27, which I've had better, so my second sector must have been really good.

I had a blast watching you guys go at it on the replay. Very good racing by the both of you.

Looks like your where you need to be anyway.

Welcome to the Team Skippy.

Quote from X-Ter :

I'm hoping that more will sign up for the North American division during the week. I know that there are at least a few FXR drivers in the LOTF team who probably could find this fun

I did the online sign up at the S.C.O.R.E. site yesterday for the North American division but no email reply yet. Looking forward to it. I believe Marsh is joining too.

Quote from Bob Smith :

Hardly driven BF1. Real men don't need downforce.

That's about how I see it. I like some downforce but on the Fox and GTR type cars. I haven't driven but 3 offline laps with the BF 1 as it's just a different animal than all the others. I don't care to unlearn my feel from the others, yet.

To one of our Team friends, mrodgers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mike.

My team a 3hr race on WE int Sunday with the FZR with upgrade patch "T". R2's all around. I'm hard on the fronts as I will drive through a push. Got 27 to 28 laps (65% of fuel load) before popping a front tire (right front). I average high 1:34's and dip into the 1:33's after 50% fuel. My temps were high (low 90's) but the tire grip was as good as running cooler. I love the way the new (after patch) tires feel. Time before the event did not let me test R3's. I may have to do a followup test.

Get this one. My team was practicing on a VSK server with several other non team members. One teammate was entering the pits and a guy ran into the back of him trying to pit also. My teammate gets a drive thru penilty due to the contact. How crazy is that? illepall

You gotta be a member for that.

You know, .. if you posted some pics (somewhat NOT tastefully) it might help a membership drive.

The pool and BBQ party is at your house this summer.

Quote from Shotglass :

i think there are wrong parts on her explanaition of caster though ... otherwise nice post

If you mean this

Quote :

Over/under steer on long corners should be addressed with castor angle. Castor adjusts the wheelbase of the vehicle, a bigger caster pushes the front wheel forwards and induces understeer, a lower angle gives you oversteer and a more resistant steering wheel (higher FF). If you are getting either effect on long or fast corners adjust your castor to suite.

you might be taking it wrong as I think she means wheelbase as the car turns not on the straight roll.

Hey Mike (nighthawk) you still setting up for sliding thru the turns?
My tires stayed nice and green thru those runs last night.

Gotta 3hr race tomorrow. I hope I and my co-driver hold up as well as the car.

That Google clip is very impressive. What a great dyno that can simulate a full race.

THANKS

A public WELCOME to Leadtail.

Your in for some crazy times buddy.


Hey Jethro, Show us that Avatar of Marsh's wife.

Quote from MARSH2a :

That was a good time last night. That setup dropped over a second off my PB! Look for us tonight, we plan to run a 1hr race, same track and cars.

May be on a diff server though... I'm anticipating a full 20 grid server for tonight.

Howz about putting it on our online folder. hint hint!

HEY BRIAN, I uploaded the set Z and I are still testing. It has "test" in the name.
