Quote from Palex :

It seems to me that my 9th overall result is due to the 4 laps sprint race has too much weight in the overall result. 13 + 4 = 17 / 2 = 9?
The sprint race should count 25% at the most.

p.s. don't see this as a rant, i'm just a bit unhappy with the result and took the chance to point out some things that in my opinion are flaws in the system. But anyway, this is the Pre-Season

This bad balance with sprint & main was noted before and after race and will be fixed if events like this will happen in future too.

Quote from BBO@BSR :

Yeah and i wrote that one of our drivers didn't read the rules/points-system properly. If so he would have known and uploaded a faster time because you get always more points in higher pools ;-) and that's a good solution.

I was thinking about this when reading what Solar wrote. That's why I wanted to keep the difference between pools high enough, to create a motivation to do your best possible lap - and also obtain some experience too. There are flaws with the current pointing system, but so far I haven't seen any that would not. At the moment I'm giving to our current pointing, but as said before; this is an issue we are going to deal with the staff (like the rules too :nod.

About giving some "extra" points for fastest laps - in other words, to "Our Champs".. maybe we should do that finally. I originally dropped that idea because I thought that the guy who wins the pools, automaticly does the fastest lap also - which could have created a "Schumacher-effect", one guy dominating leaving no chance to racers behind. This has been proven to be wrong idea several times after that. Besides, if someone really is that good, why should he be "penalized" for that anyway

But a complaint has nothing to do with the respect that i have for all of you that keep the OLFSL running (you know that because i'm long enough related to the OLFSL).

I know, but Bismarck's statement before race2 about me spoiling his race was kinda personal. I'm aware that this had nothing to do with you BBO, and I know and hope he didn't mean it that way, because I'm not doing this to spoil your fun and/or race. It's like HeerBommel (I think it was him, too lazy to browse thread) said - in middle of the race & action things look and feel different, and also feelings are much more stronger. I can understand that, I've experienced that several times. However, a mistake was done - nothing can erase it, it's history now.

Maybe we could leave it behind, and give "learning-experience" a chance (if you can grasp my point here).



P.s. And no, we don't want a horde of sheeps.. Baaaaaah..

Yes, post 'em here.

All opinion are welcome; and :chair:

Well, was that your humble opinion, or a provocation?

After experimenting several options, I think hotlaps are the best way to organize even pools. So some hotlapping is mandatory, it will also ensure some level of pratice for all racers, which will improve the racing experience further. So it's not just cruising around the track. Besides, one doesn't need to use a lot of time to get a decent position in grid, I did about 30 laps to get mine.

Your opinion about 3 points difference is noted, however.

As been said before, this is not a full-range season. Merely a short testing season - to test things

We will discuss about the points (and several other things) with the staff before OLFSL starts the first full range season.
