UPDATE: 10th Nov 2018

The Open Endurance Cup returns in January 2019 to Live for Speed after a two year hiatus!

Since there is still time until the league returns, your input is much appreciated! Share your ideas for the endurance league here.



UPDATE: 4th Dec 2018

The schedule is finalised.


Original post from 1st Jan 2017:

Dear racers,

the Open Edurance Cup will not return for a spring season. At the moment it is unclear when the forth season will take place, but time and motivation don't allow a properly organised cup in spring. This season already lacked elements I wanted to provide due to ongoing technical problems on my end. Therefore putting the cup on the shelf for the moment seems to be the right choice for me right now.

How the Open Endurance Cup returns will be a matter worth discussing later this year.


For now I can only advertise you the Desire of Patience Tour 24 hour race with the (unrestricted) GTR class on January 21st 2017.

Happy new year and see you on track!

Not that I'm complaining, but I drove only one race, how am I so high in classification?

You competed in OEC2 and the graphic shows the sum of OEC2 and OECIII

Quote from pik_d :

Um

Noticed it... Will change it this evening.

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Thilo, I believe your driver standings are missing przemek

Thanks, it's now corrected.

Quote from Gutholz :

There is also this possible error: http://askubuntu.com/a/265222
I would test if the DVD drive works (with a known-to-work windows CD maybe) and then ask at linuxquestions.org

Since the DVDs work on a different, newer laptop I guess it is the drive.

Quote from pik_d :

Round (1, 2, 3 or 4): 4
Session of Incident (Qualifying*, Race): Race
Protestor's LFS Lap: 142
Timecode of Incident (EITHER MPR time OR Time of Day): 19:45:18 (race time 5:41:43.00)
Your Car number: 51
Protested Car number(s): 68
Brief description of incident:

I was lapping Hutnik, I had a draft on him on the oval going into the boothy chicane. At the braking point I was ahead of him and on the inside, but he kept in it, not yielding the corner. I saw that he was still going for it but it was too late, I did locked up a bit, but he gave me absolutely no room to make the corner.

Car 68 receives a warning for causing a collision. The reasoning why it only is a warning: It is the end of the season in the final stage of the race and the only protest we had this very season, nothing would've been gained or lost by anyone. Under different circumstances this would've resulted in a drive-through penalty.



On a further note: For the post race chat line

Quote from 68 GFR™ Hutnik :

68 GFR™ Farrell - alle Deutschen Shag Schafe

... team 68 [GFR] Team receives a 2 point penalty. Furthermore its driver GFR™ Hutnik won't score points for this event for unsportsmanlike conduct.(again)

Thanks for your tipps and tricks.
I tried three different dvd burners in three different systems with two different burning software packages each in all possible writing speeds. All failed. I have the feeling that the DVD drive in the old notebook might be broken. Since USB and DVD drive failed, there is not much more I can do to get it going. Sadly. Network installation seems not to be an option either as I have trouble accessing the network adapter from the BIOS.

Quote from jueweb :

Quote from cargame.nl :

No, not yet.

Race 2
#55 Drive Through Penalty for unsafe rejoin in Lap 3 (issued on lap 6)

Qualifying has started!

Qualifying has started! Good luck everyone. Password and server are given in the opening post.

The layout is now downloadable: https://www.lfs.net/attachment/154189

The layout has been added to the opening post.

Qualifying will run from Sat, 10 December 2016 13:30UTC until Sun, 18 December 2016 13:30UTC. Drivers can drive as many laps as they wish to. A team needs at least one timed lap to be allowed to start the race. E.g. it is enough that one driver of the team sets a lap. If more then one driver of a team sets a lap time, the faster time will be taken for the starting line-up. The end of the qualifying also marks the deadline for changes to the team's line-up, class or car.

The qualifying password will be published here, so teams, that sign-up can directly do qualifying, even when noone's sending them a password. Please always drive with your correct name format on the server, so it is easier to do the qualifying results.


Race starts at 14:00UTC, with the gridding at 13:50UTC. ...

My most promising try so far...

Thanks. It gets me a rough idea in a way. It afterall happend 7 years ago, so it might very well be true, these screenshots show every measured point (well increased in size by some margin).
What would be interesting in this context though: What are the smallest differences the in-game track can represent. A laser scanner may be accurate between 1 cm and 0,2 mm in its spatial relation, depending on various factors. It is quite crutial to know what is the maximum there to adjust the project strategy and everything.
I took a quick look at the surveying company's Facebook page and they have many scanners of Faro. Assuming they used them back in time as well, I might get some statistical data. Maybe this gives me further clues on the topic.
