Race






Holy Speed!

When most of people successfully joined to Round 32 as planned, it was already dramatic moment before the START, as rolling start was the good idea to hold for "The 250" Class. One of the racers did not really understand the concept at all, despite it was explained at least twice, he gets 1-race suspension, and will be expired till he next time attends to qualify.

Also, once GREEN is appeared on top left in chat box, you are allowed to go full throttle and overtake immediately. This had some minor confusing as one of the racers did not overtake as had a chance to do so. Sure, it could be also a plan to go straight to bump drafting, but that did not go as planned.

ALSO, one of the racers did DNF right after GREEN did appear, by losing control. Shame, he could have done good result big time! Maybe next time mate!


But ladies and gentleman, we have... ONCE AGAIN... NEW WINNER! AND I AM GLAD TO PROVE HE FINALLY DID IT!




JAY FROM FINLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!


Excellent performance! OUTSTANDING SOLOING! The pace was incredibly fast and everything was calculated in just right! Sure, Y.Laprevotte and T.Soini could catch him easily by bumpdrafting, but T.Soini planned not to go full speed on the "drop zone"! Maybe it was wise decision as several people had suspension problems right away. However, Jay led all 16 laps, and started from pole...

...BUT COULD NOT TAKE GRAND SLAM! Fastest lap was taken by Y.Laprevotte. However, congratulations Jay! And welcome to the winner's club! Time to take some more wins to catch Mr.Flat Out!, isn't it? Smile

Haaa! The 2nd place is taken by Y.Laprevotte. This Mr.Seahorse showed about capabilities of being a serious threat to Jay's victory pace. However, bad decision at start and difference of the strategies between him and T.Soini didn't pay off. 11 seconds was enough to find out about Jay's maximum attack straight away from GREEN. Anyway, another podium! Well done!

3rd place is taken by Mr. Steady a.k.a. "The Supersteady". T.Soini simply refused to go every time flat out trough the drop zone section. Would have pay off well, if Leader's suspension would had collapsed. This time, winner simply nailed his setup, pace and strategy.

4th place is finisher is most likely new, fresh winds arrived to Flat Out! Series!, as DMACK×Gevin (LFSW: Sandisck ), first timer, managed to see finish line! DMACK×Gevin will be the 25th racer who will receive points from the series! He did even chose worst car from The 250 class, as FXO Turbo was not enough fast car in 32x Boost layout. He recognized too late about the rules and car was locked due having already set a laptime in board. Ultimately his rear suspension collapsed totally, but with great skills and behavior of being front wheel drive did secure to finish the race. Magnificent!

5th place is taken by the creator of Flat Out!. XF GTR was totally not the car to select, and several suspension damage problems almost ended his race. However, when only 5 racers did finish, being lapped several times does not matter, as points are thing which makes things change. Could have been worse though...


Yay! Time for some highlights!

Very first one, this guy is the one who gets suspension. RACER ( LFSW: Octosquad ) failed big time to understand some certain methods of rolling start. He did jump to the several positions higher than ordered, eventually did drop off the track. He also did go to pits and coming back to race, as going to garage or spectating and coming back to track is strongly forbidden. Blocker was not activated, but that does not mean to break some rules. He eventually DNF by simply giving up.


The moment when GREEN appeared! Otherwise the start was appropriate, despite RACER still on the track.


Video about it... videos, as you might find out something odd. ( Not really hard to find it out! )



The black FZ3, driven by Morrocoldope ( LFSW: adibfaklani ), did hit those bumps and lost control straight away. Panic Shift S did end his race already before it really started! Only Green did appear. Shame, could have been really good result!


RedSuns•Popn ( LFSW: PopnlochnessMonster ) and LawB LIKE ( LFSW: MartynasL ) had some collision on drop zone. Starting lap was not good for them either. However, no penalties received, as bad visibility and simple unmeant mistake.





Meanwhile in the lead: UM21 is going to pits, setup was absolute disaster and XF GTR in generally was not enough fast in this track.


More drama! LawB LIKE ( LFSW: MartynasL ) is overtaking DMACK×Gevin (LFSW: Sandisck ), but too much speed will make some taxes. DNF at the end.



Not much to go, situation looks like this:



As UM21 was far behind due suspension problems. He is getting lapped by Jay. However, attempt to gain some draft will cause some dramatic moment... an epic save! Cold tires are cold, no grip in other words!


As, three XR3 cars were going on their own, in back, positions 4 and 5, drivers are refusing to go to pits and going to risk their race. Both drivers have already suspension problems!


Outcome is drastic! Mr. Flat Out! is out of the race! Suspension did not hold any longer... only 2 corners left. As could not steer at all, DNF is the only solution! Very unexpected!






TRIVIA

Jay won 1st time!
1st time The 250 is seen on action!
First time race suspension is received.
GT3 was faster on this kind of layout, but outcome could have been different, if race was 2 laps longer.
No XRT or RAC is seen, which is big surprise. Also no FX3 is seen in action.
New racer did receive points: Sandisck
11 racers did start. FZ cars were no good at all here.

EDIT: More to mention...

We saw 5 new racers, one of them managed to receive points.
Only one !flip command used, UM21 had to use.
3rd time we see a rolling start.
First time a layout is used in both normal and reversed version.
First time FXO Turbo is seen on action.


Stats and points will be updated soon!


Thank you for participating this round! Next round will be on this week's Thursday, and will see single car on action. Car and layout is random. Find out more in Wednesday! Stay tuned! Good racing!

Quote from Shirtkicker :So it is real-world constraints that prevent racing in the opposing direction irl, but fatal accidents don't factor in game/sim life, other than your leaderboard standing. which is why I'm thinking it might be exploits, which are hard to do on an oval...

tbh, I've don't think i've ever driven R'ham in reverse now i've thought about it, so I wouldn't really know... Big grin

Maybe they only digitised it while only going in one direction? XD

Something like that, with addition of real life rule lol Tongue ( and also licensing )

Quote from Racer X NZ :If you want to race karts, that FYI LFS doesn't have, then check this out which does have several karts.
(And is cheaper)

Here's how to host your server.

This is what it looks like,

And
https://youtu.be/mlUwc7OEzi4

If LFS has got Karts that I am unaware of then please let me know...........
(MRT is NOT a kart)

I'm not claiming it's a better sim, only that it has Karts which was the posters request.




MRT5, as known as built by McGill Racing Team ( not sure where 5 comes there ), is FSAE car, Society of Automotive Engineers, SAE. basically, it is Formula car based on SAE classification, but specs are technically in past based on big go-kart.

Yes, it is not really a kart, but as how karts are built and how karts are loosely based to formula cars and vice versa, I can safely say, it is KART, but specs as formula.

I think I would call it FSAEKART, due it really reminds KART

Quote from Shirtkicker :I see what you mean, true - the oval at least should run both ways. Excluding the oval, i was thinking it could be that as R'ham is a real-world circuit, Eric hasn't had the luxury of being able to remove exploits that become available in reverse layouts, maybe?

No, oval is either built clockwise or anticlockwise. Rarely on both way. Safety barriers will be issue in that point as well as exit routes for marshalls and vehicles for clean-up is built on GO-way, to prevent any fatal impacts due the barriers.

check out some news, it is told there several times on many different accidents.

IT IS possible to build oval which supports both ways, but the required time for marshals and their vehicles will be increased till they get on track for doing their job.

Quote from PlSTOL :ok, so as it is a real track the owners have the rights to only allow LFS to use it in 1 way? so are the others tracks just created by LFS programmers (Blackwood, city etc) aren´t those real tracks?

It's allowed to have to use any direction, just official track combination of reversed configuration in Rockingham, is not supported by LFS World, because it is recreated from real life existing track, which sets on rules that in real life, Rockingham is not supported to drive in reversed version due the safety issues, as it was built only to support one way.

I do not know why, but that's the reason.

Quote from Racon :Or a combination of that and licencing? I was thinking that it was the one-way style gap in the barriers, but then I remembered we've got those on Westhill, too.

Quote from RC-Maus :Becourse it's a real track and irl it doesn't have reverse???

But I think thats the reason Cool

Anyway in open config anything is possible

Yes! This is the most likely reason of it

This means you can have any kind of track, it is just not formalized via LFS World

Quote from BeNoM :Well when people go around saying incredibly stupid stuff, it tells me there's no point in having a civilized conversation with them. Smile

Also, this forum is the most ignorant game forum I've ever been to so there's no point in trying to convince you guys anything Ya right

Huh? You suffer from that? But hey, what's the point arguing here about if game is dead if you can not bring it to life but instead of telling the same thing about game is dead, in your opinion?

Funny... Would you think in some point something else? Seriously man, "come ooon"!!! Get to the LFS and bring some life! ( I am planning to head there too, but first I need to fix some things in my server )

Let's go "bloopers"! Let's go to the LFS today! ( Word blooper is irrelevant, but it sure is very funny! )

Quote from PlSTOL :Hi, are you in sales or you wanted to help as just a forum's member?

Need to know if by buying 4 licenses in a row there could be a discount and if it is possible to pay myself for the fours in 1 payment, then if they can download the game on their machines individually.

Shortly.

No discounts regardless of any amount in one payment. Every license costs same.

Yes. You can buy all in one. For me though i did try same but could not. Had to do separately in past. But should be possible.

Yes. Can do individually.

Sorry using mobile, bit frustrating to type for me.

Edit: As Eclipsed told, stick up with that

Quote from JackSun :Well my original comment still stands. If he was using hacks (i.e. Cheats) then he does not deserve to play.
If he meant tweaks that he'd used before on a tweak enabled server and they no longer work, then that's just tough, you mess around with the game who knows what problems might show up.
And I wasn't implying he made the hacks, as you say the vast majority would not have a clue how to, but it's very easy to download cheats that someone else has made.

As actually following this thread simply being interested, being honest. I did bold your part of the reply where I absolutely agree on that part.

Race











"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

Extreme issue occurs already before/at the start of turn 1 as pole position guy Mr.Butthole a.k.a Creator of Flat Out! handles the car too much on wall and gets wrecked to pillars and other racers, causing a flawless crash. Because he had a warning from earlier round, which sets his path for absolutely no mistakes allowed, which would cause like this, he gets disqualified and receives 0 points. No race suspension will be received as he managed to finish the race, but he gets another warning, which will lead one in case something similar will happen. Maybe he might have another thought about the Rockingham...

But that crash didn't kill the winner's pace, as he led 40 laps, took the lead on lap 5, made a near perfect mandatory pitstop and crosses the line with style and control...

...YOU NOTICE HIS NAME FROM NUMBER PLATE, HE IS "MR.SEAHORSE"!

Driven to the victory by red XR GT TX, Y.Laprevotte ( LFSW: GreyBull [CHA] ) takes a second win for his career on MTDZX-FO!S! in Rockingham Fastoric Short layout! He indeed survived from the critical crash occurred @ very start of turn 1, although bit lucky. Despite no pole or fastest lap, across the finish line at first makes 10 points more for his own and his team's cause, having now 20 points on both individual and team standings. Watch out folks! We might have serious contender now!

Congratulations!

"Silver medal" goes to T. Soini ( LFSW: teppari ). Absolutely fantastic job to keep Mr. Flat Out! behind. As being a bit left from the "lead pack" at first, he proved once again about what kind of result is possible as making steady run. Still, neither Soini or Willi could have managed to get chance to attack the lead due the pace or suspension damage.

As Willi ( LFSW: Will.I.Am ) did finish the same lap as leader, same thing did not happen for R. Kardol ( LFSW: rik97 ). He didn't survive from first crash, but all he had to do is to make to the finish. So he did, on 4th position. That means he will be 24th driver who receives points from this series! Well Done!


5th position is taken by Sobis, who did join very last moment, making no qualification and not many practice laps. Had some amazing moment on lap 37, survived from it and gets the same mission as R. Kardol by finishing the race.

6th position is not counted due the disqualification and Arska managed to take the wrong route. How special.. ( not really! )





It's time for highlights!

As always, first thing to show is the freaking start grid!




Here is some footage!



Funniest part is absolutely Arska. JUST LOOK!


After that incident, Sobis took the lead, but only for four laps. on fifth lap, change is made on final corner!


Here is the start in generally.




The only DNF'er happens here! As single player and multiplayer "borders" are different, it turns out the difference is indeed drastic and all of sudden Arska takes the wrong route. Picture is taken just before it happens. Seems this layout needs some fine tuning.



Sobis rolls in lap 37. Astounding footage!




T. Soini goes to the pits for as mandatory, manages to keep Willi behind who made early pitstop!







TRIVIA:

First time disqualification is shown. UM21 is the lucky winner in that part. 0 points.
Most optimal race time occurred so far!
Y.Laprevotte makes 2nd victory, as well as his team, Tiger Express Motorsports.
Sobis led first 4 laps, Y.Laprevotte led the rest. ( 40 laps. )
No !flip commands used.
First time Rockingham environment is seen.
It was since Round 2, an official LFS World track is seen.


Stats and points will be updated shortly.



Thank you for participating this round! Next round will be held on Tuesday, cars and track is already selected by random number, as winner selected number 33. What it is? Stay tuned!

So, in other words, if someone manages to gather 40 people, inform me @server of PM here ASAP, with proper time, so let's try. ( 19.00-20.30 UTC of today, won't happen to me, or not mid-day weekends. )

Quote from Racon :I imagine it'd be the same as when two cars spawn at the same time on a layout with a start arrow, they overlap and nothing bad happens until one moves... then a monster lag/overlap-collision happens.

Yes... but with 4 cars it was kinda... epic. How about 40 then. Just need the time which fits most of us and arrangement, so we can do the tests.

Quote from mbutcher :I could test this for you on a CityDriving server if you were desperate to know. Tongue

Seems legit, but you never said time about when... I presume 24/7 can't be possible lol.
What happens when having 40 racers spawns at same time at same spot?
UnknownMaster21

Well, I don't know!



But I would know if someone is up with me and attempting to make one about what happens...

Layout is already ready. Ultimate question is: how many and when?

( Will be on S1-server, to get possibly more people! )


Let's gather together and test! Who's with me? I can do anytime except weekend mid-days.


EDIT: Yes, I have done several layouts, with several tests included, actually, many different layouts. But all of them with same kind of idea. ( Slightly edited them to fit with method. )
