How in the heck did Conquest's K. Iskra make R2/R2s last 25 laps?

Quote from Karolis[Lt] :

In my opinion, it is clearly Eric's mistake. I see him not moving and leaving Runas less space for entering the corner on purpose. Later expecting to have more speed and pass him. Just my thoughts. Despite this, the car in front has the rights to do whatever he wants, the car behind has to deal with it.. I say it's a racing incident..

Eric was on the white line on the left hand side of the track when he was hit. Runas had almost the entire track to turn in from. The car in front has the rights to the road when they are clearly in front. Eric had about 40% overlap which grants him right to racing room according to NDR's sporting code.


Though I have to ask, what is wrong with holding a line and not giving someone else more room? If someone gets overlap and they're in the middle of the road, they're entitled to drive down the middle of the road. Why do they have to give the person on the inside more room?

You pretty clearly drove onto Eric's line. He had overlap, and therefor right to the line. You hit him off the road before the braking zone, so I don't see what "stupid move" he made. Drivers to not have to move over for someone else who is driving into their lane. It doesn't matter if he had half the track to his left. If he is in a lane and has overlap then you do not have the right to drive into him.

I fail to see how you driving someone off the road is a racing incident.

Quote from MuderGO[LT] :

I wanted replay not beause of this accident, but anyways thanks for it and looking from my point of view that it's racing accident. As I moved towards you to get better racing line and you just didn't move, despite that you had much space.

Quote from MuderGO[LT] :

Maybe can get race replay?

I've used mpredit to cut it down to just surrounding the incident.

Quote from tDiesel :

Hi, i've uploaded my second hotlap 4 days ago but i'm still listed with only one. I want to know if there is any problem. Thank you.

Sorted.

Quote from menantoll :

I believe he means a shame because it therefore will not be on all servers as not all want to pay for the full version. Not a shame that it's a pay for product.

Yeah, this is what I meant. EQ Worry makes something really useful, then makes it so only a fraction of the servers will have it. Obviously everyone could pay, but realistically that'll never happen.

Quote from dawguk :

Indeed, it is cleaner racing. I don't think it's just the SR or MPR that make the biggest difference though - I think part of the reason there is less wreckers in iRacing is because wreckers don't want to pay money to drive like a dickhead.

Yes... that was the entire point of my post. Cheaper = more people who don't take it seriously.

Ohh it's all sticky It really was great fun, looking forward to the summer series.

Quote from 5haz :

Is simply forcing someone not to crash the right approach though? Perhaps convincing people not to cause crashes through consequences and punishments is an easier way.

Easier? Debatable. Better, I would say so.




Edit. I think a lot of what's being complained about is a direct result of how approachable LFS is. You can download it and play demo with pretty much anything, hell you could probably get a powerglove to control LFS if you had the right connector. The full version isn't that much more difficult to get into, a one time fee (for the foreseeable future) and you can race on most servers without even having done a lick of practice.

iRacing isn't as approachable (the cost drives many away) and from what I hear has cleaner racing. Then of course it has a built in safety rating. The two games have completely different directions with how they handle things and the communities are going to be different because of this.

I'm not saying we should just accept LFS for what it is and throw our hands up in defeat, because there's people like EQ Worry with his already-mentioned experience index. Just a shame you have to pay/donate to get your hands on that.

Great name: perfect for PR.

We are still kings of that, if I may be so bold.

Quote from Mr.46 :

Or... maybe you just Photoshopped the plate blank?

Tommy had a plate number but Ken didn't. The plate changes to whatever the new person has set when you switch drivers.

Quote from Hawku :

Why did we get penalty without nobody actually protesting? First ever penalty for not having someone in the irc?

DMT wasn't actually contending for the official win and was holding up EER. A few times it was asked if anyone from spdo was in the IRC room. When it became obvious there was no representative there was really nothing else for the admins to do in order to keep the fight between who it should have been between.

Quote from Deutschland2007 :

When will the skin thread open? I just got bored and did all of them.

When someone points out that I forgot.

Quote from racer hero :

Are you kidding me? I'm the one that NDR always picks on, shut your face.

We should all consider ourselves blessed to see Ken win an NDR event and not have it taken away from him via penalties, right?

Quote from gacek1 :

and he doesn't have penalty? good job admins!

Oh damn.

What time of day is the 2nd test race?

Quote from The_Project :

Hi racers ! I'm actually searching for a GT2 FXR setup for KY3, i need this setup for a (very) long endurance race . I would really appreciate if someone can make me one or help me to do one ...
Thanks

GTAL did GT2 @ KY3 earlier this season. You may do well do check which teams did well (7Karat comes to mind) and ask them directly. I guarantee no results, but it's worth a shot.

Quote from xtraction :

Safety car laps like 6 min or something?

3 minutes 45 seconds, deko tested it. 2 SC laps (the minimum for a SC period) means exactly one less green flag lap.

Rule 5.2.2 updated to:

Drivers must upload hotlaps to LFSW (or the driver registration thread) within the benchmark time at any two tracks on the calendar with the car they registered to drive

Quote from NightShift :

Is that a medical condition?

Yes it's called ICantStandAnnoyingPeople-itus. It's an old guy trying to be 20 again and a pair of tits stumbling over every other sentence they manage to read out from the cue cards.

All I learned about rFactor 2 is that it's evolutionary except for the tire model, and it doesn't run on crappy laptops, which they apologized for about 17 times.
