When will the final results for round1 be available?

Quote from Timo1992 :

Race was good, guys. I'm happy with my mate and my perfomance apart from the crash.

As Yann pointed out. Next time you will definitely need a tracker for those who timed out. You should write a pm to boothy for that.

What I didn't like about this race was the fact that there was some big chat in the end. You should give DT's for each chat line next time.

Ye I know I was chatting one or two times as well, but that was because I was unsure about the rules concerning the SC.

I agree about the tracker and the chatting during the race.

A tracker is a must have during an endurance race. I have to admit that I don't really understand how you can announce that a tracker will be available, when you clearly aren't able to set it up.

In the .docx document that was send out earlier today it was also made clear, that chatting during the race is not allowed, and that it will result in a DT penalty.
I wrote the document in order for non-czech participants to be able to understand the rules better. The small-english part of the KxR site lacks a lot of information and is very unclear, so I took the time to translate it and make it easier to understand.

However; there's still quite a few things missing. But since I'm not the one who calls the shots and I'm not a part of the administration, I didn't want to change or add anything other than a some parts that needed to be changed to make it understandable.

There must be (!!!) some clear and understandable rules for when the SC is deployed. Almost everyone was still in doubt when to pass and when not pass. Some cars passed lapped cars during SC, others didn't. There were also confusion when a crash occured under SC, nobody knew if the driver that crashed could reclaim his former position or if he just had to stay in his current position.

And as most of you already know... A better server is needed. Waaaay too many accidents due to lag. Cars kept dissapearing and out of nowhere - they reappeared right in front of you.

Overall it was a rather dissapointing experience. I also hoped for a bigger grid, hopefully there will be more drivers in the next round.

And one last thing before this posts is tl;dr... When putting together a series of races that welcomes foreign teams and drivers. You simply have to do the main part of the event in english. It really doesn't work out when all the non-czech's don't understand 90% of what's going on.

To make this a better cup, you need to do the following;

- Make sure to have all (!) the information written in proper english - from the beginning.
- Create a proper set of rules. The ones you already have is ok - but there are still a lot missing, which ends up confusing everyone.
- Before promising that there will be a tracker, please make sure that you have one available and be sure to know how to set it up.
- Use a server that can handle the amount of estimated drivers. Just imagine what it would have been like if there had been 20+ cars on the server.
- Don't have the commentator on the stream acting as the push- or safety-car driver. It was hella boring on the stream, while the SC was on track (and that was a lot).
- Be more strict about the rules; ie. there were drivers that didn't use their real names - that should be penalized. People were also speeding under SC even the SC itself were going up to 170 km/h.
- Use the TV Director on the stream. I'm sure the czech commentators did a great job - but it would be a lot more versatile if you had some english speaking commentators.

Don't take this critisiscm the wrong way. It's great that people take the time to do this kind of events. But there's still a long way to go. I'm sure it will be better next time though.

Quote from Dinodoom :

is there any broadcast on, and if yes, then what is the address?
if no, then is it possible to trace tracker?

Quote from Kid222 :

Yes. Yes. Not sure about english talking though.

OK, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Are the races still going to be streamed live? And how about commentating?

Quote from rododendron :

thx for your post, we know the problems about SC and start and other, we will repair it to the main race, thats it why we gone a test race

Just to be clear... Are you guys planning on doing another test race? Or did I misread your post?

Good race yesterday, guys.

Most things seemed to be in order, though there were some confusion during the start and during safety-car.

I still believe you should stick to using two rows on the start. Using one row results in too much distance between the cars when greenflagged. It clearly showed that yesterday.
Take a look at how they do it in Masters of Endurance. From a certain point on the track, the cars are no longer allowed to heat up tires and are forced to start formatting into two rows. Having some clear rules for how its done, is really important and will make it alot more smooth.

There were problems with the speedlimits during SC and pace-car aswell. I watched some of the replay and it was quite clear, that most of us were going faster than the allowed speedlimits.
A while before the SC is leaving the track, tire-heating shouldn't be allowed, and people should gather up closely behind the SC. Just like on the start. When the SC leaves the track, you keep the current speed (120 km/h) until the leader crosses the start/finish line and the green flag is waved. Yesterday people just went full speed through the last corner, on to the main straight, before the race was greenflagged.

Oh and regarding the name formats... The format we used yesterday (carnumber - teamname - drivername) worked out ok, but I think it would be better (and easier) to just use the car-number and drivername (ie. 003 - wildstyle). It would make it less of a hassle for most of the drivers and I believe it would be a bit more manageable this way.

Cool! Danish guys.



Held og lykke brødre!

Thanks for the support.

Quote from rododendron :

You can reconnect the race, i wrote it here , but i forgot write it to rules , we will use a tracker which will remember your laps and you will continue in the race

Test race is not mandantory, but we need the most of racers to test a server stability, it will be around 1 or 2 hours long, only for fun, test, train a safety car rules, and meet the racers, we hope you will go in this race.
Thanks

Oh sorry, didn't see that you already wrote it here.

We would like to attend the test race, though it still depends on the date it will be driven on. Do you know what track you will be using for the test race?

How about disconnections? Are you still not allowed to reconnect to the server, if you somehow get disconnected? Also, I still think you should reconsider using the boothy-layout on KY3. It makes the track alot more interesting.

It is a bit unclear to me, but are we supposed to sign up for the test-race? Or are you just encouraging other teams to participate in the league?

Quote from rododendron :

No, boothy-chicane will not be used, but there will be a straw bales, so you will be not able to cut the turn.

OK, that sounds reasonable.

How about the decals?

Are you going to make an english version of your website? It's not very user-friendly for non-czech attendants, that basically all of your site is in czech.

Will you be using boothy-chicane on KY3?

And how about the decals for the race? Where can I get a hold of them?

Cheers,

Nobody who can help?

Hello!

I'm about to do a rather small event with some buddies of mine, and we have some sponsors that needs to be promoted. So basically we need some skins with their logos on.

Unfortunately I don't have the ability or the skills to do a proper skin. So I was hoping that there might be a friendly soul, who would like to help with these skins.

The skins themselves does not have to be extreme in any way. Just a quite simple race-look skin with some sponsors on, number and drivername on the sides of the car and that is pretty much it - unless you ofcourse want to make it even better. :rolleyes:

I need three skins - FXR, XRR and FZR. For further details, please send me a PM.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards
