Sorry. I'm missing this round as well. Good luck and have fun to everyone starting.

[offtopic]Apart from the bureaucratic work, probably you'd love to make some updates to replicate this, I guess

[/offtopic]

As of now the mpRes with all replays and stats is still online. Since the website did not have that much space, Luder let us use his/Racemore's webspace and ftp. http://cl.racemore.de/mpres/
That said: Racemore is as active as the CityLiga site was after the league folded. So I'm afraid, it won't be up forever.

No one has asked yet, but just to inform you: The contract for the website cityliga.de ran out and it was decided to not extend it. There would have been the need to update it due to EU GDPR, which was not regarded to be worth it for a folded sim racing league.

I think I will be able to join you on track from round 2 onwards.

Hello everyone,

the Live for Speed fan page got a question recently if lfs.net was actually down. From my point it seemed ok, but for M. Radonijc it did not improve, so he asked to ask on the forum (so I only act as a proxy over here) if anyone has an idea where his problem could come from. The conversation took place over at Facebook on the fan page for LFS. https://www.facebook.com/LiveForSpeedFanpage/posts/2014636735221343

Thanks

I spilled coffee on my notebook and had to bring it to a workshop. I won’t make tonight’s round.

Thank you for everyone who signed-up and helped, sadly the league will not take place as the number of participants did not pick up.

Quote from lucaf :

For me most combos are ok. I wonder how much the skin rule is dropping participants (at least it has a negative effect on my interest rate, though I haven't yet given a no-go for it).

Skins are only optional, as the usage only give a single bonus point for the driver using it and one bonus point for every driver of the nation for the national score. If you don't have a national skin you can still race and still score points for yourself and for the nation you are representing.

Quote from Zaabis :

I guess nobody is signing up because "nobody is signing up"
Have you done enough promoting?

Maybe I have not done enough, but there are not that many places left to do advertising, basically it is here and Facebook and maybe RaceDepartment, since many teams with forums are no longer in LFS. I try to do more for until

Quote from Dennis93 :

It's LFS, really hard to make a competitive series with a lot of drivers.

Yes I wanted to try it one more time to get a league started with a good number of drivers.

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

Maybe I can say it honestly: In my opinion, there is none of interesting combos. And this is international, people expects top tier opponents. Top Tier? Excluding few, they are all gone to other racing sims.

I don't know. I picked the combos after all because I thought they are appropriate and fun with a decent number of drivers. I'm not sure about the top tier point, the international bit of the league is more a gimmick of the league concept. After all any league promoted here is international in a way as English is the lowest common denominator.

The start of the league is postponed by a fortnight due to low sign-up numbers.

Hey everyone!

I launched a facebook page for the NWL to spread the information also to LFS racers, who do not check the LFS forum regularily.

Here are the sporting rules of the Nations World League Season 3.

Fairness

1. The on-track behaviour complies with the Rules of Clean Racing.
   
2. Protests and appeals can be filed in the corresponding thread until Tuesday 19:00 UTC after the race.
   
3. If a driver is found guilty, penalties will be applied at admin's discretion. Generally the penalties shall be applied to the session the infraction took place. In severe cases drivers and/or nations can be excluded from competiton.
   
4. If a penalty cannot be applied to the session of infraction, the penalty can be converted to a grid penalty for the next round.
   

Course of events

1. The events start as it is stated in schedule. Times are given in coordinated universal time, UTC.
   
2. Qualifying is an open server practice session. There are no restrictions, times are tracked via Airio. Once the server is set to the next combo, the laps are registered to qualifiyng. The session will be set private one hour before the start of the race.
   
3. The time trail is an autocross session scheduled for a race distance, where all drivers drive the distance individually. The starting order is derived from the tracked qualifying times. Due to the restrictions of the sessions by Live for Speed, contact with movable objects may result in time penalties.
   
4. Race is a race session started by a standing start. The starting order is given by the result of the previous session.
   
5. Rallycross is a series of short races with small grids. Every driver competes in 4 heat races. The best 12 drivers of the heat races, based on their added up finishing times from the heat races, advance into the two semifinals à 6 cars. The podium finishers of both semifinals advance into the finale.
   
6. The head-to-head event is a series of short races, where two cars directly compete with each other on a Moebius strip track. The drivers are split into groups, based on their qualifying results. The best four drivers advance into semifinals, of which the winners advance into the finale.
   
7. During the races rejoining is allowed at any time. However it is under all circumstances penelised by the loss of one lap.
   

Scoring

Driver who completed 75% of a race distance are eligable for championship points. For more information on the championship standings and the calculation of championship and cup points, please read the Championship Standings thread.

Here is the place to post your skins. The scoring scheme states a bonus points for the usage. Please also upload them here.

Colour scheme

A National Skin is a skin for cars used in NWL. It uses a colour scheme reflecting the national colours (e.g. red, white and blue for the United States or baby blue and white for Argentinia) and/or colours traditionally used in sports (e.g. white and black for Germany, green and gold for Australia, blue for Italy).

National Flags and Coat Of Arms

The usage of national symbols such as the coat of arms might be restricted, please make sure this is unproblematic for you.

Required elements

The skin shall display the (short) name of the nation in English and/or the national language. If the national language uses a script different from the Latin alphabet (e.g. Cyrillic) please also give the English (short) name. Moreover please use the ISO 3166 ALPHA-3 country code, written on the number plate attatched to the post.
You may also add your name to the skin.

And last but not least:

Quote from https://www.lfs.net/account/skins/upload :

Skin regulations

DO NOT upload skins with offensive images!
If a skin that contains nudity, pornographic, racist or any other offensive content is uploaded, the skin(s) will be removed without notice and you will no longer be allowed to upload skins here.

Keep it fun, people of all ages play LFS.

I updated the opening post rephrasing the information to hopefully make them more digestible.

Thanks for pointing out Rony, getting mixed up in all the updates.

I updated the race distances to about 70 minutes.

General point scale

The general point system is a linear point system with 40 championship points awarded to the winner and 1 championship point awarded for a 40th place finisher. So the runner-up receives 39 points, the last podium spot 38 points, a 10th place finisher 31 points and so on.


In events that are composites of multiple sessions each session awards points for the respective position, however multiplied by a factor, every event scores the same amount of points. For the opening round of a time trail session and a race session, the points are halved for each, for the third round with the XF GTI at Westhill National the points for each race will be split into thirds. For the rallycross round and the "Race of Champions"-style head-to-head event the final standings are taken for the points.

Points are awarded for finishing at least 75% of the (winner's) race distance.

NWL Driver's Cup points

The Driver's Cup points are scored as per the general point scale. The cup winner is the driver with the most points scored throughout the season, however the worst two results will be dropped. Not competing in a round equals scoring zero points. The usage of a national skin will be awarded with an additional bonus point.

NWL Championship points

The Nation's World League Championship is contested by the nations represented by the drivers. The best 50% of the drivers will be averaged, however when two drivers compete, both results will be averaged. To compensate the decrease in the maximum number of points with more drivers included to the average, bonus points are awarded.


The usage of one national skin will be awarded with an additional bonus point per driver using it, if all are using it.

If this point system had been in use for Season 2, the title would still have been on the line in the final round and the title would have eventually been won by Lithuania.

I shared the news on facebook, on twitter and in the RaceDepartment forums. ISRTV.com seems to have deleted all LFS posts/threads. I don't remember any of my other accounts.

Edit: And I shared it on two team forums.

We'll spare you the full history lesson for now.

Oh... That's a real shame!

Quote from gaboteam :

They already added new Track with S3 so that door must be open I think.

The difference is that Rockingham was modelled by Eric (within his workflow), based on the TLS data gathered from APR Services, who only delivered the point cloud.
