Thank you.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Timo, you should remove that link to be honest.

He's a rebel, first posting the LX8, now this, there's no stopping him.

Quote from boothy :

What's it promoting sorry, a crash series with stupid sound effects?

While I wouldn't go this far I do have to wonder why you showed the car disappearing at 18 seconds. That seems like really bad form if you're trying to promote something.

I'll just try again, hopefully this will be more up to standards:

Hi Victor,

Could you please make a sub-section called "Scrappy Standards League"? This page will be used for the league. Could you please add myself, tmehlinger, z-ro 8, csf, and boothy as moderators?

Could you please move this thread into the sub-section?

Also could you please put up this banner linking to the sub-section?



Thanks

*waits for LFS grid to expand to 43 cars*

Would need to be 45 for pace and safety cars, right?

.

Team Name: Something Awful Racing
Number: 24
Car: FZR
Drivers:
pik_d, S. Rose, USA
phatdragonx, R. Young, USA
tmehlinger, T. Mehlinger, USA
BlackRider, E. Smith, USA

What is the command to show the list of average best times?

I don't understand either. I have something set up on our site exactly like how NDR does it (since we both use Joomla) for this league, signups are open, though we've never had any previous leagues which is really the only difference between us and TEM's stuff.

Quote from J@tko :

Victor posted a while ago in here saying he was just going to ignore requests that were'nt "up to standard". Although he does usually reply if your request was successful.

Right so clearly mine wasn't up to standard, I have no idea how to make it up to standard. The league is fully set (rules/schedule/server/website) which is what was requested, and still nothing. I've even got >10 people to sign up in the first few days.

Anyone have any clues to help me?

What. :sadbananaWe would need R5s or R6s just to drive it.

+ More than 8 shadows at a time

These two are already done, so you can mark them grey

Yeah, and replace the first one with:

2010 SNXL Round 1: Randy and Spencer follow a True Turbo Freak to The Podium
XRT at South City Chicane for 20 laps | March 7th, 2010

Two of our drivers entered the season opener of RSRadicals' Saturday Night XRT League with confidence. We had led the lap time chart right up until the race. As we expected Sonicrealms Racing's Magnus Björndal proved to be in a league of his own here, but we had only ourselves and Clockworks Z.Weiss to worry about after he sped off into the distance.

The half hour race was a fairly quiet one, The top 4 finishing as they started, Magnus, Randy, Spencer, Z.Weiss. Due to Magnus's teammate Jason Matthews showing up and finishing 7th the teams championship is a close fight with Sonicrealms currently in the lead. Next race is the same combo as the Kyoto 250, and the day after as well, Kyoto Ring Oval. With Randy participating in the Kyoto 250, look for him to do well in Round 2.



LLWS 2010 Round 7: Something Awful Takes Four of Six LLWS Titles and Wins The Kyoto 200!
FOX at Kyoto Ring Oval for 200 Kilometers or 70 Minutes | March 12, 2010

Not just a win, but a 1-2 finish as well as Simon Murphy closing the Driver's Championship in qualfying and the squad closing the teams championship in the most effective possible way! First a summary from Randy Young on the race, then a more wordy version below.

"Wow, SA 1-2.

My win was mostly luck combined with crafty teamwork. The luck was staying out of any incidents and lots of faster drivers receiving drive throughs for pit infractions. That put me up at the front with pik who did a brilliant job backing the field up enough to give me a clear run to the finish."

Not all was sunshine and rainbows at the start. The team had some trouble even before qualifying. Travis Mehlinger had some more PC troubles after the last GTAL round. He was forced to qualify without sound and had to restart his computer between that and the race to get it back! Qualifying didn't do anything to raise our hopes of a good race either, the four of us qualified between 18th and 23rd out of 25 drivers.

Disaster struck on lap 3 of the race with a lag incident taking out Travis and causing the first of six safety cars that we would see throughout the race. Then under safety car our drivers championship winning driver Simon Murphy timed out, leaving just Randy Young and Spencer Rose to complete the remaining 62 er... 52* laps.

Luck started to swing our way around the halfway point. Our two remaining drivers had been in the mid pack, but the first safety car in the pit window saw the two of us gaining spots as we pitted. We would gain more spots after 11 drivers would pick up either a drive through or stop-go penalty for incorrectly entering the pit lane under SC and/or overtaking SC.

After all the drivers with penalties served them Randy and Spencer found themselves in a 3 way draft battle for second place. Our guys eventually out-drafted J.Sedgwick and were chasing down M.Saidl for that top podium spot when another safety car did the job for us.

On the restart Randy, Spencer, M.Saidl and J.Sedgwick broke away for a short time until the final safety car of the race froze the field with Randy 1st and Spencer 2nd. As Randy put it, "[Spencer] did a brilliant job backing the field up enough to give me a clear run to the finish." In a heated battle for second M.Saidl came down on J.Sedgwick in the final corner of the final lap, losing them both time and race positions. Spencer was able to catch M.Saidl's draft and secure second place for Something Awful Racing's first ever League 1-2 finish.

With the conclusion of the LLWS 2010 series our team has taken the Driver's, Teams, Owners and Qualifying Championship. Randy just missed out on the Chase cup to Sonicrealms Racing's Sascha Riegler, and Simon Murphy was the driving force behind the United Kingdom winning the Nations Cup. An absolute massive congratulations to Simon for winning the Driver's Championship and Qualifying Trophy! Winning 3 of the 7 races and finishing 4th in two more, he put on stellar drives all season long.


*The race ran to the time limit, not the full race distance.

Quote from Bluebird B B :

O now i understand some are so fast in fzr lol I was already wondering why i could keep up in corners, braking and same top speed and yet be 1 to 1.5 sec slower
button clutch so definitly be adressed soon!

It's actually the top speed that would benefit from this most as there would be less time where the engine is not powering the wheels. If you're slower in corners that's either setup or skill. 1.5 seconds is too much to be attributed to button clutch exploits/macros.

The idea in the OP is nice though, giving a physical (well virtual) limit to how fast the clutch can move in H-pattern gearboxes would wash out this form of exploiting.

Quote from Feuerdrache :

Congrats to SA for their double victory - great tactics, I wouldn't have done it different.

Unfortunately I had a good drafting partner (R.Hoiting) for a few laps, but these ones were brilliant.

Thanks, apparently PMD and I independently came up with that idea. He thought we must have been listening to the stream but I wasn't at least.

Quote from no_one :

good job 1-2 for team sa

yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!

No thanks.

Actually GTS Motorsports has a LX4/LX6 league starting up soon.

Quote from oldnavy :

lol, havent you read that this is XFG/XRG league?

This is exactly why we're running it. Too many XFG only leagues.
