Because I want to do
Here is my newest project of doing layout for this server, about 60% done. ( Base is ready )
Simple, but fun and not boring. Stay tuned!

Rockingham, track parts flickering.
This happens, when driving outer skirts of the track. Happens on that corner when entering to very narrow section. Check on follow view, best results, tho I believe it happens in any view.
This is confirmed by me, Willi and few other guys, mentioned exactly same.

WHAT'S NEW?
Forgot to add info here too so...
Server is now S3-side, more layouts added, some of them will be updated. 7 new RO layouts included.
Replays!

ROUND 31 ANNOUNCED!
Please note, that now it is S3-license required to join both this series and to server! ( This will be permanent, regardless of any )
According to Rockingham, it's size area is changed, so that means there will be big change to Rockingham version of Edgelands...
I think that same thing happened to Rockingham as well as Westhill in past @ test patch ( which did converrted back on next test patch ).
However, Rockingham did not converted back, so that means it's size area is even smaller. That did also kill instantly 7 new layouts which would be added to server. Now it won't happen, so new amount of layouts to be added in MTDZX Flat Out! will be 7. ( 14 was planned ) Sorry.
EDIT: Positive thing however is, that I never did publish them or never been used online, so it is NOT THAT big deal, nothing is really lost, only time is wasted. Have to check if I can see I will convert them to
use other environment, but will take time and inspiration again.
EDIT2: On blue dots, you see original area, two additional cyan dots shows where the new area is stricted. That means two blue dots on right side will be vanished, including 7 other layouts.
EDIT3: Now you would think that "Isn't that change pretty small?". Yes, it is very small and as I said, it is indeed not that big deal, but according the space how small area Rockingham is already, now even smaller, it does not help much really changing small area even smaller. Sure, I have started to predict and expect changes will happen and all I have to do is accept and start doing over again something new.
There has been rumors and some talk about changes according to Rockingham will come again. Honestly I am fine with that as long as map area won't get even smaller. That will definitely prevent having some full throttle racing in this area drastically, only oval/ovals could be available.
I will wait and see, but now, there will be less than planned. Pity, Rockingham is in my opinion one of the coolest environments to make layouts, being it from border to border, or just small rally-like, or anything between that.
EDIT4: Oh by the way, server is now S3-side! More info coming soon in both to the series and here as well.

Money indeed could solve many problems... I know...
Hmmm...Tough situation indeed. Making a deep negative balance with no actual positive result immediately would not help either. Seems like there is nothing to do, until something unexpected happens... in good way.

ROUND 30 RESULTS
Qualify
Race
Wow! Where to start...?
Let's start with fun fact that this round's layout was selected by Round 29's winner but he didn't even showed up for it! It was first time this happens... shame.
But whatever the reason is for not showing up for this show... This show, literally offered multiple interesting times as nine racers had to change their speed pace in occasional incidents. Top 3, the leader pack, was going on their own, but on position 4th to 9th, standings were changing all the time. Six "flat outters!" survived from this Disc of Mayhem. Several close ones and near misses, with plenty of crashes made sure there was no idea who could win the race.
But ultimately, it was MISTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERR...
....KenFLAAAAAT OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!
Willi ( LFSW: Will.I.Am ) scores the top in 77 laps of Disc of Mayhem II a! Used FZ50 GT3 car, although not fastest in overall, setting the fastest lap and started from pole, managing to keep the draft alongside with UM21's LX6 and Sobis's RaceAbout '06! Not even the ten second penalty could lose the victory for him, which he received by hitting Eza in not many laps to go, resulting Sobis taking a spin...
However, with enough big gap, finishing the race as first, victory is yours Willi!
2nd place is taken by Sobis, who had fastest car in overall, RaceAbout´06. He crashed twice by Willi's hit and one by his own, but survived to drive all 77 laps and finishes to 2nd place. He also led most of the laps, 36/77.
3rd place is taken by UM21, who had bad collision with T. Soini on lap 61, receiving 30 second penalty, which does however make no difference in result due the enough big gap to 4th position. He also proved that LX6 can be a great car for drafting. Indeed!
4th place is taken by Eza ( LFSW: EzA ), who receives 3rd time points for his own and his team, World Class Lions. Absolutely great opportunity to get some speed when managed to enter the draft from leader pack, going more than 340km/h! Also he sets the fastest lap in race first time! Despite many incidents, he survived and finished the race! Great going! FXO GT3 did work as planned.
Last top 5 place is taken by first timer: ND ChiKisT ( LFSW: ChiKisT ). He chose car as Formula XR, but ultimately finds out that FOX was simply not made for this kind of track. Burning the clutch was enough to get being lapped multiple times, but finishes the race and receives points! Good work!
6th place and last finisher is Rony ( LFSW: Eclipsed ), who had same issue as ChiKisT and ultimately had to use !flip command to get back on wheels. 20 laps behind, yet still scores some points. Disappointing car, but result what could take from all the problems he had.
Today we will have great amount and a bit messy highlights, plenty of them... Enjoy!
Start Grid!
And here is the start itself! Sobis gets amazing start!
Lap 4 looks like this:
First big crash happens: 2nd pack going to overlap 3rd pack, but things does not go like planned.
Aftermath:
Cool picture about SIX cars in line!
Jay overtook the FOX cars, or vice versa? Not sure.
On lap 16, Leader pack is on lap 6, Jay is 2 laps behind, Rony +3 laps, Eza and Kurkku are half laps behind of Rony. ChiKisT is driving 5 laps behind, T. Soini being only 2,7 seconds behind of ChiKisT.
On lap 22:
More incidents: Eza goes on air by getting hit of T.Soini. Brilliant save for just keeping car straight!
After that hit, 2 more draft packs are evolved, while Rony and ChiKisT still driving alone. Their cars were damaged by clutch overheat. ChiKisT goes to pits, Rony still continues.
Rony's very damaged car ends to wall, but ultimately survives by using !flip command!
Remember those draft packs? Here's what comes next!
Video about it. Jay hits very badly to the wall after the incident and breaks the suspension badly. Still manages to go on.
Now here is the amazing part about how things can change! Leader pack with Kurkku and Eza connects their drafts together and we have five car draft going on!...
...which ends all of sudden, unsurprisingly though, if looking about how much troubles this race held!
Jay's destiny is to go DNF... Maybe pitstop could have saved him, but decides not to do it.
Here is the worst part:
Lap 61/77
Soini gains draft from two FOX drivers, joins the draft but ChiKisT hits Soini, and Soini loses control, only coming infront of UM21 who just decides to take and keep the inner line to pass all 3 cars from inside.
Incident is unfortunate, but could have been avoided. ChiKisT gains 10 second penalty and UM21 30 second penalty. Both drivers also receives warning, which is on for next race. If foul happens in that race = Automatic disqualification.
Ironically, everyone could have survived if UM21 would have kept same line. T. Soini had to retire from this race, as no chance at all to make it back on the track from that wall.
On very next lap, here is another trouble! Willi hits Eza and then hits Sobis. Willi receives 10 second penalty from that incident.
Situation in lap 62 or 77: Sobis & Willi on the lead, UM21 is 2,9 seconds away. Eza is on 4th place, 6 laps behind. ChiKisT is 18 laps behind and Rony 19 laps.
Sobis loses control while waiting to UM21 to gets the draft. Strategy play comes in role as Willi has no chance to escape from Sobis's RAC. Seems this playful move for making a slingshot move at the end was too
much and karma decides to change this, who knows...
And it was this close when Rony passes Sobis after losing control.
