Grid 1: Qualifying - Race
Grid 2: Qualifying - Race

On a quick search I found 31 March 2007 and 17 March 2007 OWRL Div B1

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

I think the same amount as on a regular track.

Quote from Eclipsed :

I would bet on server settings (carsmax=40),but I can't guarantee that though,as I have little experience in this case.

Yeah, that's why I asked, because I also just have little experience.

Quote from Gutholz :

Do you really mean the autocross mode? (point-to-point layouts, with time penalty for hitting pylons)

Then the answer is: Only one car can start at a time. More cars can be on track at the same time, but drivers have to wait few seconds with joining. (otherwise message: "The start is blocked.")
Autocross uses the startlocation placed with "S" key, not the new grid things...so can only be one "S"-start. The largest such "rallye" I saw was ~20 cars, but probally more work too. The limiting factor is more that you have to leave bit time between cars, so that the pylons can reset and cars do not catch up to each other.

Yes I actually thought of the autocross mode with not necessarily point-to-point driving but with everyone getting on track individually.

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

40

Put 40 Start points and 40 pit start points and also allow 40 racers to be joined in server with /maxguests=40 and carsmax=40

even with 40 start points, you can only use 20 if you do not add all 40 pit start points

EDIT: without custom grid start points, the max is 20 and start grid will be default

EDIT: Shift-U - Edit AutoX - control on top right - pick the object(s)

Ok, that sounds good thank you

Hello,

what is the maximum amount of drivers who can be on track simultaniously during an event in the autocross mode? Does anyone know?

Best regards
Falke

Round 1 of 6 :: November 21st, 2015

Track Layout: Blackwood Grand Prix [BL1]
Car(s) used: LX4

Tourist Trophy: 28 laps
Race: 28 laps



Tourist Trophy (18:00 UTC) for 3x points

The name "Tourist Trophy" derives from the most prestegious road race, the Isle of Man TT. Each and every driver starts the distance individually using the Autocross mode of LFS. The difficulty will be that everyone has to tackle traffic while performing for a good time.
When the session starts, all drivers have to be in the spectator mode and will be called in one after another. Racers from Serbia will start first, if they enter a team, as they are the last champions. The other racers will be called in order of the English national name.

The results of the session include the penalty times for hitting objects, so please be careful! Also remind that you are not racing cars but the clock ticking down. Avoiding head-to-head battles will be faster Crossing the pit exit blend line is prohibited and will eventually result in a 30 second penalty.


Race (approx. 18:50 UTC) for 3x points

The race is a traditional format. The starting line-up is based on the results of the Tourist Trophy and started by a regular LFS start. Please take care of each other, the combo is not the easiest

There will be no mandatory pit stops in this race. Should you need to do a pitstop, please respect the yellow pit lane exit blend line, otherwise you will be penelised with a drive-through penalty. Should you need a rejoin after a disconnect or a severe accident, you may do so and will be given back all but one of your laps.


Please note, it is yet to be confirmed that this race mode is possible. Should it not be possible, two races, 24 laps each, will be held and a 15 minute qualifying session would preceed it.

On a more general note: Please ask questions if you have them! However, please also prepare yourself a by reading this briefing and also the rules.

Bulgaria and Latvia have a sufficiant number of racers and may be signed-up by their manager.

most likely not.

added link to the practice race

looks pretty good. It reminds me a bit of what dave does for the cityliga streams.

inofficial tesults:

EDIT: We were not the only series of this type hit by such difficulties.

Quote from Spirit of VLN on Facebook :

Race #3 at Bathurst (and season 3) was cancelled due to lack of interest from the teams and drivers

Only four teams were represented by drivers at the end of the qualifying practice session. Together with the present drivers we agreed on a compromise: A reduction of the race length to 1 hour with half points scored and a lift on all limitations considering a minimum or maximum race distance are enforced.

If you two'd drive it'd be far more interesting.

EDIT: In case you forgot: just under 20 minutes are left in OEC qual

PMs are sent, Server is passworded. Sign-ups are open and can be casted until the start of qualifying at 13:45 UTC.

If I missed anyone, or new sign-ups come in, please post here. PMs will be sent out prior to qualifying.

Server set to the current combo and unpassworded

No worries it is ok.

Round 3 :: November 8th, 2015

Track: Aston Historic [AS4]

Qualifying 13:45 UTC: 60 minutes timed [no limitations]
Race 15:00 UTC: 6 hours timed

We now have the situation that the designed season finale becomes the middle race of the season after a very long break. At this place my appologies for the inconvenience at the last round. This time I'll be around for the race. Passwords will be sent probably on Friday afternoon. This combo is again based on the recent CityLiga combo, so if you have practiced for it, you can convert it to experience for an endurance event.

Qualifying
With the start of the qualifying session, all Car/Class choices must have been posted. Late changes to the team's car and/or class are penalised with a drive-through penalty at the start of the race.
During qualifying one driver of each team is allowed to drive as many laps as they desire. Jumping to the pits via Shift+P/S is permitted at any time they wish to do so.
Since all classes are on track simutaniously, all cars have the same right to drive a fast lap at any time. Please take into your strategy, that you might run up to a car from a slower category on a fast lap.

Race
The race starts with a standing start a rolling start. The GTR class will be started by the LFS lights, while the five other classes will recieve a chat notification, one at a time (NGT, LX6, RFC, LX4 and TBO), aproximately every 5 seconds, starting their respective races. The grid will be lined-up by classes: GTR, NGT, LX6, RFC, LX4 and TBO. When the pace car enters pitlane, the GTR leader controls the speed. Overtaking is allowed when the Green Flag massage appears. The start will be automatically reviewed. Jump starts will be penelised with a drive-through penalty, either by LFS or by admin.
For a driver change, the entering driver should only join the server on the current driver's in-lap and the outgoing driver should leave the server leave the server within one lap. The driver who did the qualifying laps must drive at least one lap in the race.

Additional Information
In all sessions it is the slower car's task to drive a foreseeable line and it is the faster car's task to pass the slower car safely. Do not force a pass at unappropriate places! Please read the information on how to deal with traffic: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1893892#post1893892
When leaving the pit lane, you must pay attention to the yellow pit exit blendline!
Everyone is asked to respect the rules on chatting: During all sessions, chat is always automatically closed unless the race administrator opens it. There is no such thing as "perm".

Poor Algirdas Butkevičius. It was originally intended that you recruit your drivers from the Drivers Gathering. Well so much for that.

Two races remain until the season's end. Is it too early trying to take a look back? I don't think so. And even though this season has been quite quiet, maybe one did not want to state upset or enthusiasm, weakness or strength, slowness or speediness, so this might be your chance to get involved and improve the CityLiga.

Your (explained) critics are very much welcome and will, based on experience be recognised and internally discussed in many many posts!

Thanks for being fair with me on the race, Roman! I really enjoyed our battle for the victory. It's too bad i lost connection.

Have you had any luck finding out why you lose connection from time to time?

I think i really need to reinstall my windows, becouse it's like 3 years old and sometimes it feels really slow.
But the problem could be my internet provider aswell, becouse i realised every of my connection lost happened around 21:30.

Are you having a dynamic IP and a German-ish internet? I've every 24h a disconnect here.

Josh has nothing, sadly. I was however told by someone else, that there is someone, who has burnt the database to DVDs. I contact him.

qualifying - race

did you change somemthing immediately before starting lfs, for example plug in/out a monitor? I've had this a couple of times for that reason. A restart of LFS or rebooting the system helped in those moments.

The Absolute Beginners Racing S2 League Season 22 is shown to me in the racing calender with dates starting in November. When I go to the Season details, the months are suddenly not November but December. However, when I go over the dates with the cursor to show me the UTC time, it also shows me November again.
