Made one small modification to the FE2 layout. I've removed the extra tire in the final corner, the chicane remains unmodified from my original version. SNXL used an extra tire in this corner and it led to half the cars flipping over, not quite what I had in mind really.

I've always mentally equated timeouts and stuff like screensavers or popups taking over to mechanical failures.

Simon (#76) says he's gonna show up this time.

Is this some sort of punishment for using !exr? It seemed to happen the first time I did it, not just after I spammed it. I did give it enough time to show "Your current LFS Experience Index : 714.6" but it wouldn't come up, which is why I did it more than once in the first place.



Edit: Then I typed !ex after this and it showed up as 714.1

Edit2: It shows up as 714.635 currently on http://stats.airio.eu/EXD.aspx?U=pik_d

This is on 2.4.0a

Edit3: When I leave and rejoin it shows up at 714.6, but will subtract 0.1 every time I do !exr.

8 / 21 laps isn't it?

OK, it's been 48 hours. Times up.

Quote from Ales_M :

Lots of bumps..

Might wanna get that checked out, that can't be good.

It does not. We are a bit harsher on things that have been protested, though as you've noticed we wont hesitate to DQ someone if they've really stepped out of line, no matter if they've been protested or not.

We go through each replay and note incidents which we feel need a second opinion from another admin. If one driver has a handful of these and/or has received warnings in previous rounds they'll likely get a penalty. If it's their first offense and it's relatively minor they'll likely get only a warning. Those who get warnings then continue to act up are likely to get harsher penalties as well.

What about now? |:

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Racing has always been 75% skill and 25% luck. This is no different.

Well yes, but the issue is that this is TOO lucky and TOO kind to those who are a lap down, and take a way a lot of the skill involved. An alternative would be for the SC to pick up the leader, letting any one between the SC when it comes out and the leader to pass. Some cars still get lucky but it's not quite as forgiving.

At FE3 I actually got two laps back because of this rule. I was 2 laps down (we had issues ) with another car 1 lap down behind me. We were both 5 seconds ahead of the leader so the SC didn't pick us up. When we got to the tail end of the queue I was 1 lap down and the car behind was on the lead lap so I get waved around. As much as I appreciated that it was just too much and I'm sure anyone who I got right up behind after my 2nd time around felt very ripped off.

If it changed to simply "Cars between SC and leader waived around" it would also eat up much fewer laps under SC because they wouldn't have to spend a full lap calling out cars THEN wait a few more for them to get around.

As it is, having a SC basically be a huge "RESET" button for the race is a bit silly.

Of course doing it this way does lead to a lot of cars a lap down in between the leaders, which is probably why it's done the way it's currently done. Makes it more interesting in the middle of the race too.

Quote from kart-36 :

dont use fxr next year!

Noo, we need some good FXR teams. It was really interesting this season seeing all 3 cars have their time in the spotlight.

Quote from MuderGO[LT] :

Our goal in this GTAL round was to finish above you, sadly we made some seriours mistakes in our strategy, o maybe somwhere else, as we still can't figure it out. Anyways it was your and our fist endurance league, so congrats with 5th place.

Funny that, our goal was to finish ahead of you (and SCP and TEM... all for different reasons) this round.

I've got to agree with Kolz even though sa| has been the beneficiary of that rule a few times. It's one hell of a free pass when the race is trying to decide which team is the best. Quite frusturating when you work hard enough to lap someone and then *poof* they're right behind you as if the last few hours never happened.

Quote from Cawwa :

Our Lap #284 T1 (exeting the oval)
Cars #31 and #04
Our driver find himself at the side of the track when being alongside. Driver #04 didn't leave enough room.

Lap 281 you mean.

Quote from xtraction :

I think you guys can defenatly improve from your mistakes, and become the top lituanian team in the coming seasons!

I can't think of a Lithuanian team that's better than Deadline, so maybe they already are the top Lithuanian team?

Quote from joshdifabio :

Sorry, my bad. PM sent.

Thanks.

Quote from xtraction :

I havnt driven MoE, and if it means i cant race 1-2 races in IGTC, i might not race IGTC for the fact i wanna race GTAl next year :P

You're gonna try and be the Tommy of this season then?

5th overall in our first endurance league

It's duck season!! Grats.

Yeah, do they have enough who haven't done MoE/IGTC? :P

This season was quite fun, never did GTR or endurance racing before this. We'll be back next year to try and improve on 5th overall.

Thanks deko for talking us into joining. Wouldn't have considered it without ya, and we had loads of fun.

This is what I've come up with, based on no further penalties.

Josh, I've PM'd you twice but gotten no reply. I haven't gotten instructions on how to upload replays. I've got a teammate who already knows how and is uploading them so it's not super important, but can you please PM me about this?

#24 good
