Thanks again for joining, here some Pictures I took for anyone who missed the action.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Was great until some decided to turn this into a ****ing crash fest.

Thanks for the efforts anyway CR.

Well the bump and jump was supposed to be a crashfest I'm sorry if you felt you got crashed in the serious racing too, accidents just happen sometimes, I hope you still had fun for most of the event.

Thanks everybody for joining, I laughed a lot and I hope everybody else did too. Points and stuff will be worked out either tonight or tomorrow.

yes you still got space, server isn't full right now

My recording is now on demand on http://www.livestream.com/lxo

Additional PM's have been sent for the late joiners, if you are reserve driver you can just join anyway tonight I'm quite sure there will be some free spots.

Check your PM's you should have it, at least you're in my list of receivers when I check the PM I've sent.

Quote from three_jump :

the blackwood layout is a joke, right?

As mentioned already, the bump&jump layouts are both just to have some fun in between the serious racing, they both are very short (approx 5-7min) and even if you finish dead last you will still get 2 points for it so no need to worry.

I will be streaming my races and since it's no team event I will try to give some insight on what a driver thinks during the qualifying/racing. Could also be that it will be very silent if I start concentrating too much.

PM's with the password and additional infos have been sent, if you did not receive one please mention it here.



And yay 1000 posts!

As mentioned we will be running some public test racing on CR|Public in about an hour (18 UTC) everybody is free to join, if you're still not sure what to expect in the proper event this is the perfect time to make up your mind.

Races will be about 5-10minutes in length and we try to visit every combo present in the event on saturday.

Doesn't learning the layout at full speed neglect one of the key points in rallying, actually not knowing how the thing feels while you go full throttle?

I would really like to see something where you need to drive from someone's notes on a layout you never drove before or only get the chance to drive it once with pit speed limiter on and take notes yourself.

Dang our Birthday event is after 6pm, I guess I need to cancel it then.

We will be hosting some short test races on all of the combos this Thursday, everybody is welcome so tell your friends if you want to have a go.

Date: Thursday May 19th
Time: 18 UTC

Setups and all the infos you need are in post 1.

Quote from Franky.S :

What? When?

Well, yes I could've posted a link, it was mentioned on the PlaystationEU twitter.

http://twitter.com/#!/PlayStationEU/status/69818820973432832

Well, nobody is forcing you to play with complete strangers, I usually just play with people on my friends list and thats always a lot of fun. I doubt it's PSN's fault either, you get as many idiots and childish people in any online game on the computer. That's just how it is unless you resort to private matches.

Quote from PlayStationEU :

We're now going live with certain PSN services in the UK, Ireland and the Middle East.

Damn you brits.

Reserve list is in place now, I'm quite sure that we wont see everybody who signed up so far, so keep posting even if you end up on the reserves, it still is very likely that you will end up racing in the event.

nice to see so many known faces signing up. We put our CR|Public server on a track rotation with all the combos we will be running in the event, if you want to have a closer look or do some training you're welcome to join us there.

Quote from boothy :

Have you tried restarting the race once the start point is gone (p.s. it's "straight" )

Yep, it will just restart on the (previously deleted) starting point, until you reload the complete layout without a custom start.

easy way to switch between Z28 and Z32 without screwing your unlocks:

- Copy your unlocked Z28 /data/misc folder -> name it misc Z28
- Copy LFS.exe -> name it LFS Z28.exe

- Extract patch Z32 overwrite everything
- Unlock

To go back to Z28 either

- Rename LFS.exe to LFS Z32.exe
- Rename LFS Z28.exe back to LFS.exe
- rename misc folder to misc Z32
- Rename misc Z28 back to misc

or use the attached batchfile to switch between unlocked Z28 and Z32. (It is important that you place this in your root LFS folder and name the exe and misc folder exactly as described.

Just to clarify, the middle part with the bump and jump stuff is just for fooling around and having some fun, so no problem if you fail completely there. The proper 30min races will be the ones where you can gain most of the points.

Yes we're not that cruel, there will be cake for the winner of our Birthday event.*
With the release of the new Testpatch series we thought it would be the perfect
time to finally host the long overdue Feast to celebrate our 4th year together in
green and white, we invite you to join us on the 21st of May, 18.00 UTC.

We try to make use of most of the new things contained in the Patch and while
still doing some serious racing we also aim to have a laugh or two in between
that. First of all we will go to the newly created Aston Central circuit racing the
LRF class, in the spirit of fair play and to keep the times close we decided to give
the LX6 40kg ballast. If there is no patch allowing us to do a normal qualifying
session before the Event we will do a 10 lap hardcore qual counting the fastest
time in the end. To relax a bit race 2 and 3 will both be held on Bump and Jump
like layouts in the TBO class, nothing too serious, some pictures for you to give
you an idea of what will be happening.



The last proper race will go down on the Kyoto Natiolong circuit, with it's newly
added straights and discarded "buggy" chicane it will hopefully create close and safe
racing in the NGT class.After that is done the evening is almost finished, for anybody
who survived until the very last race we'll be running a special GTR/UF1 bumping
event with random teams of two on Westhill International, prepare for madness and
a big smile on your face.

*Some assembly may be required.

Date:May 21st 2011

Start Part 1: 18.00 UTC


Break: 5-10 minutes

I hope you don't have cats, otherwise it will look like this in no time.

Lets just agree this was a bad joke to save me the embarrassment.
