Gutholz, you've been around a long time. Do you remember when all the big endurance leagues were dominated by the FZR? Leagues slowly increased the ballast until it got to around 26kg, then the XRR dominated.
When skill is roughly equal at the front of the grid, even a little bit of ballast can make a world of difference. When there's a huge gap in skill of course it doesn't matter. You don't use ballast to balance the entire grid, just the people who can get the most out of the car.
I don't mean any disrespect to you, because I certainly don't get everything out of the cars either, I'm usually 0.5-1.0 seconds off the top few. Even so, I can still appreciate that seemingly small differences make things much more even. And for those who are going for an overall win, 10kg can absolutely make the difference between choosing one car or another.

That's all a bit naive Gutholz. Of course other things will affect the result as well, but if there is such an obvious inequality that is easy to deal with, it should be dealt with.
To be honest, from those 3 choices option #2 looks good to me. If both sides think it's unfair, then maybe it's actually fair?
It got 10kg this past season at KY2, which seemed pretty decent, and it got 15kg at AS5R in CL17, where the top 10 were all XFR.
From his qualifying time, he'd have been to far away from anyone for that to matter 
I would kinda like to watch it back, is it going on youtube?
What happened to you at the start of the Grid 2 race?
Hmm, I haven't really looked at the console for errors, I've just been judging it by how it works in game.
I tried LFSLazy, but it didn't seem to have support for restricted cars, when I drove GT2 it just compared times to LFSW WRs which were obviously useless. Maybe I missed something though.

I did figure it all out after you mentioned that it was the heading, so thanks for that. I was wrong about one other, that I had previously called "Heading". I realized that it and the one unknown next to it were X and Y position on the map.
As for how I made the charts, it's all here on Google docs.
As for AONIO itself, I don't see why it needs an update, I've driven on the new configurations and everything still seems to work, my pbs folder has files with WE2 in the file name, so track names were not hard coded. I do think it may be a good idea to clean up times.txt since it will have impossible-to-beat sector times now, that seems like a lot of effort though.
Just proceed, it will convert for you. I believe.
I have to say my favorite thing about this new version is that the chicanes are now chicanes. The fact that we could go flat out in most LFS chicanes has been a huge complaint, now that's fixed here.
This track is like old-Westhill made longer, meaner, and prettier.

Any chance of increasing the max connections? Up to 40 cars in an endurance race doesn't leave many spots for driver swaps after admins/streaming spots.
With the grid size increase, would it be possible to get a connections limit increase (55ish, so the same number of "extra" connections?).
Looks really great all around.
So what happens now, with the new Westhill?
Seems you're not the only one who can't make this session.
At the beginning of the race Provost said that the mandatory pit had to be under green, so that's kind of a moot point. It does look like one person did do their only pit stop during that caution though.
Provost timing out must have distracted us from that, since clearly we didn't catch it during the race.

Just so everyone knows, this session was abandoned because of the master server issues and will most likely be rescheduled.
Discrepancy between shown races and number of races
Not sure if this is exactly a bug or not, but the number of races shown is 0, while if you mouse over the day it says, well... a little bit more than that.
Who would admin them?
It's been fun racing on Cargame, so it's sad to see it go. I really like driving the GT2 cars so I hope some other server becomes popular with them. That said, the XFG/XRG S2-Racing server is quite a fun change as well. Life (and LFS) will go on.
