Quote from Matze78 :Qualy: I think the one lap solution would be very exiting! Mixed Grid etc, the reasons are all above...

Race: In the last OWRL F1 Season the strategything was very different from other series, sometimes 3 stops were better, sometimes 2 stops. This was fun. Otherwise theres nearly no strategy if everyone has to pit only once. If the races are under 300km there will be no big strategydifference.

SC: I took part in the last 2 rounds of LFSCART. In my opinion the SC stays out too long. The Effect was cold tyres and boredom... Do we need SC???? IN LFS theres no debries on the track, if a car lies upsidedown IRL its badly damaged and not able to race anymore. And the SAFETYcar-driver drove very unSAFEly... It was more like an UNSAFETYcar, haha, not very realistic.

The series trys to be as close to F1 as possible......hence the SC

Fine then bitches :P lol

Well how about changing the 4 sec rule to 5? Not for my benefit cos I have always been inside 2 seconds, but at some tracks, it's more about consistency than damn right speed.

I used to be relatively good at getting a new PB in qually. However it's almost impossible to get a good lap in at some tracks through being blocked during a hotlap.

Yeah, it's sort of like a skill that some people like Boris and Storm_Cloud have, but people are still developing that skill. You guys have had S2 for at least 2 years, like 5 years in Boris' case. I've had S2 for like 7 months, Had my G25 for 3 weeks.... Plus i'm sure that next year there will be participants who will be less experienced than me.

I would like the idea of Q1, Q2 and Q3, although that wouldn't work due the amount of drivers who participate in each race - it's evident from this season that it will fluctuate. But then Dek's idea of driver contracts could combat that?

Silver said to me at the start of this season that he was thinking about some kind of award(s) for winning the World Championship for Season 2........Not sure what this would be considering we live all over the globe lol.

Sunday mornings will be an issue for me as well. Same goes for people like Woozy, Taha and Dek who will have to be up at 3am in the morning or around then. Sunday evening's seem more suitable, I am only available from 5pm GMT onwards on any given Sunday.

But yeah Dek, I do think extending qually to an hour will be a major improvement. As a result, drivers will actually be able to get their desired laptime, rather than being under pressure, and only being able to complete 3 or 4 laps within a 25 minute period. If people think an hour is too long, then join after 35 mins of qually!

I also agree with Paul regarding SC. Driving with ice cube tyres at a track like SO is madness.

Quote from AMB :Can you remind me? if i remember correctly it was lag, was it first lap at chicane? if so it was lag.

Yeah, would have been lag on your part though (I just familiarised myself with the replay)....

Moving on...... lol

Quote from evilpimp :I'd say the FE Gold incident wasn't 100% my fault. Definetly a big part of it was my fault but not 100%. You did randomly brake and it was completly unexpected. I had a good distance to you but just didn't have time to react in time. The SO one was 100% my fault. Actually make that 120% :P. I was just cruising around behind and kinda got a moment were I started day dreaming (never gunna join a league that races that early in the morning again.) Simply didn't pay attention and as soon as the pace slowed down I was on the throttle for some reason. O_O Sorry bout that. :S

But yeah shit happens. This race was the biggest shit ever for me. Ever. (for now :P) Got caught in the Hibex AMB incident, repaired damage, kept going, crashed into Roby, pitted, didnt catch up to SC, kept going, hit wall, hit my own teammate, retired. :P

The FE Gold incident wasn't your fault, mainly because you were not racing lol, it was between AMB and me...

Quote from TFalke55 :hmm... sry but the FZR wouldn't help, as the safety car is instructed to a concrete maximum speed and a moderated accelerating and braking

And what is that maximum speed?

Calm down guys, shit happens.

Nothing's worse than doing 800 laps in two weeks at a track, only to be knocked off the track, taking the wrong route at the 2nd corner of the race... (Not necessarily a dig at you Taha, talking about FE Gold here).

But yeah I have noticed in general that people leave nowhere near enough space under the SC, or pay no attention to the map. I was hit about 6 times under the SC at AS7 - within about 3 laps.

Under the SC, i'm constantly watching the map, seeing where everybody is in relation to me.

Think about F1, cars slowing down together, then sprinting off to warm tyres under SC, exactly the same as LFS, people turn TC off to wheelspin the rears. TBH though, I think that next year, the SC should be FZR as it is a couple of seconds a lap faster than FXR. A lot of the time, we are trailing very slowly behind the SC - or maybe the SC driver should put his foot down a bit, and try not to spin? *cough*

Quote from wOoOzZy :Nope. I'm not in this one. That should give you a shot at 3rd place in the championship. You're only 6 points behind but sense I have more wins you need 1st or 2nd place.

Awww man, how long's the "break" gonna be?

BTW, there are a few new guys on here who are rather fast, so i'm not going to hold my breath just yet

Quote from Garfild12 :I'm not sure of participating in that one, I must vist graveyard at approximately 2 pm my time and its 3:30 pm my time when race starts. Quite unfortunate but there are more important things than playing LFS at that time.
PS Grats Roby, its about time to get a wheel and prepare for maybe second season of oneGP but dont expect any miracles too, its Copmletely different story and you probably know it if you have a car

Thank you Yeah when I bought a DFP a few months back, I used it for around 3 days, then sold it again because I was so rubbish. But hopefully i'll stick at it this time

Hopefully we'll see you tomorrow mate

Quote from wOoOzZy :I do only downshift to 3rd for 2 corners. And I also downshift before I turn in =P. My problem isn't my driving, it's my set. But I might have figured out the source of the problem. After some suspension tweaking I managed to get a mph or 2 through some of the turns. Still missing a few mph though. But I'll figure it out.

But don't forget, we all have to use the same set in the race, so it has to work for all of us

The KY3R set feels good IMO, Timo agrees.....
