Can put that a bit easier. Takes a lot of time to set up a whole legaue. Maybe in the event window an option how many races and then in the session window the possibility to fill in all the dates.

You have to change the ° in the setting panel in WIN. If you change it in LFS it will not change the hardware.
Time change for DTM EU

During the sign-up we did ask everybody to tell us the best day to race. A lot voted for Monday.
Because of that we are going to change the race day from Tuesday to Montay. The time stays the same, 19:30 UTC (check on the frontpage on the left side for the current UTC time).

We have already 32 sign-up's for the EU division and it is still time to get into the league. It would be great to get a full second grid

A bit behind is the NA division with just 7 drivers yet. We hope that this division will soon get more attention from the LFS community!!

if you like I can make one of my one but will not change anything cause it's totaly new
a good thing on this one is that you have 4 handles, up/down shift and than 2 axis for left and right view (never tested it but I think it should work)

make a second one. just a wood'n plate and you fix the whole seat on it so you can still change the position like in the car. at the front you do something to fix the wheel and pedals and just before the wheel something to put the screen on

I work for a company who do car seats and they have for exhibition something like this and its really nice wood. I was just thinking how great it would be if they throw it away and I could get it

and when you can get automatic one you can do some change on it and connect the motors in it with the FFB so u get a bit vibration on your seat

Quote from keiran :Well considering he made this out of some MDF at probably little cost... A race seat would cost probably £200+ from some of the prices I've seen.

What? You go to a old car storage and look for a still good car seat, you buy it for mybe 20-30€. You put the seat on a plate (wood, metal) and something for the wheel. It's a bit work but all together it will not cost more than 100€ I would say.

Quote from benja-man :Thanks for the input guys!

I'll try to join the limited servers first and get some laps in before trying which 'mixed' server really is mixed!

Is there any drivers club / dedicated server around that just runs a specific car/track-combo every week with a pre-planned schedule? That would be great for diversity!

Cheers

It's all easy:

Lapped car:
Keep the line and your speed. Except for:
- you are axtrem slow -> change soon line
- you are just a bit slower and the leading car has trouble to catch you to pass
Don't fight back even when you are in a situation faster.

Leading car:
When you catch a lapped car, stay cool and bring yourself in position even when it might take one or two corners to pass. The lapped car has not right away to give way.

i added to my initial post today: The car behind you has no time for getting into your slipstream, and pass you in the straight.

But he can pass after the corner, what is the problem to wait this corner? Like Gunn saidm it's not that other cars have to jump away. Of course the lapped car should not be damn slow.

Quote from Gunn :It takes just a quick moment to travel 50 metres. Moving off your line at that point would be insane. The blue flag does not give the lapping car right of way as soon as they are in an overtaking position. Both cars need to use some common sense. Negotiating backmarkers is a part of racing. To expect people to jump out of your way on command is just wrong. To expect to not have your possible PB interupted is just naive. The blue flag does not mean "clear the track, here I come!".

For backmarkers about to be lapped: if you think you should fight with the lapping car you then are on another planet entirely. You would be disqualified in real life. If you think he should work his way past you without you yielding to him then you are out of your mind. You would be disqualified in real life.

Both parties will often have to make a small compromise and that is the reality of it, it is sometimes unavoidable. The car being lapped should make no sudden or unpredictable moves (especially if the lapping car is close to you) and should simply allow the lapper to overtake at the earliest sensible opportunity. Yes, you must allow him/her to go through. If you join mid-race then you aren't even in the contest in the first place, don't fight.

I use often the slipstream oft those cars to get some extra speed so I don't like when they move.
What I did experience is that the best it is when they all keep the line and I know already what to do.
Anyway, the blue flag car has either not much experience and will make something wrong or the other driver is doing a race and fighting for a postition so he should not slow down for me. If I'm faster I will bring myself in posotion that I can catch him before or after the staight.
Racing is not thaaaaaat hard so don't make a science out of it.

robgo:
the most drivers who get lapped havn't much experience, this means the react mostly not right or misjudge the situation and cause an eccident. Therefore I say, just keep the line, go your normal speed and I will do what is needed. They might go a bit to the outside of the corner so that I can pass them inside. Thats all.

PS: 6 meters aren't much with 250km/h

when u get a blue flag and u leave the ideal line u do cause more problems than keeping the line. a lot of noobs do that and it's so dangeres. the driver who is overtaking is good enough to handle the situation right with changing line. when u catch up to a "blue flag guy" you prepare yourself to overtake him, when he now changes line and this maybe just in front of you, it will spoil more when anything else.

BTW I watched yesterday a race on the CD server and there was a driver from the CD team spamming way behind the car "BLUE FLAG"
