Double post, Wahey!

Due to various parents being tits, the broadcast may start slightly late. Sorry for the problems, and we should be go for the start of qualifying. (Should be!)

Quote from Sponge :

it's starting in about an hour right?

Yup

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

Let's see how far this series has come since the... interesting... broadcasts of last year! I imagine it's going to be pretty good so I will come along for the ride (if my internet allows).

You're pressurising me now Passo :doh:

Quote from Jouman :

Will be there too. Rooting for Jack, dunno how many there are this season

Only one.

Jack will still come last in the Jack's championship though.

Quote from pacesetter :

There wasn't a SC last season?

No.

There isn't a SC in the TBO Challenge or the Road Sport Cup as has been said many times before.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

You obviously just suck then XRT is very responsive, you just have to remember your on road tyres, so turn in earlier and less lock, xrg and xfg are more forgiving because they are alot slower.

And i don't agree becky, 3% is a good restriction, its a little slower but it is easier to drive on the limit than the XRT is, in XRT you need to be pushing WR times to keep up with the fast FXO's.

TBOC is on tonight at 7PM UK time at S04R, everyone should tune in, some awesome racing in that series.

Thanks for the plug

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Skins for :

#17 Lims Chebbi
#33 Yann Laprevotte
#87 Niko Puntola

Yann, you win the skin competition

Quote from scotty2888 :

Theres nothing listed in the TBO's about a safety car?

I wonder why....

I wants sunset!

If we have sunset, I won't run away and do that 2.4h of Daytona iRacing thingy!

The TBO Challenge returns to your screens tonight, as 30 TBOs will whistle through the streets of South City wheel to wheel for the seasons first round. And all the action will be streamed LIVE on NDRtv, with Chris Wilkinson and a special guest commentator calling the shots.

So join us at 6:50pm GMT for some great action on the streets of South City!

(Add /old to the end of the URL for the older version of Livestream if you prefer)

PMs have been sent to the drivers selected to drive. Server will be passworded 1h before the event. Could drivers on the reserve list be ready to join up from 15 minutes before the event start if a PM is recieved. If PM notification comes from any PM recievers, a PM will be sent to a reserve list driver earlier.

Thanks

Saturday's the day folks

PM's will be sent tomorrow morning to the drivers we would like in the server. We would like if people from the reserve list were ready to step into a place in the 10 minutes prior to the event starting so hopefully we get a full grid.

Quote from J@tko :

Read the rules lately Wilko?

I have, and I told D to make sure that wouldn't be put in :doh:

Confirmations and not showing up etc will be ran exactly as last season and as explained in the rules. (2 no shows without PM notification = back of reserve list)

Quote from J@tko :

You'll need to confirm with the even confirmation system on www.newdimensionracing.com

No you won't.

Quote from Bee :

Seeing asthough LFSCART is having one, any plans for a Media day for the TBOC?

That'll not be happening with this series no. I've always thought of the TBOC and now the RSC as events based solely around FUN. This means no stupid skin requirements, no safety cars, nothing like that. I can get all the video shizz from previous seasons (I'm actually trying to make the opening titles as we speak )

Quote from ivantod :

do we know weather forecast for South City?Low wind i guess?

High wind pl0x!

Makes great telly.

An addition for driver aids:

RSC:

Traction control and Anti Lock Braking Systems are NOT permitted for either the RAC or the FZ5.

TBOC:

Anti Lock Braking Systems ARE permitted in any of the TBO cars for use in the TBO Challenge.

These will be added to the rule book at the next appropriate time.

AFAIK We don't have one set up yet. As I'm sure you lot are aware we have alot of leagues on not a massive amount of servers. It will be up by Friday at the latest I'd expect.

I'll come and do whatever you like Thilo

Except sexy time!

Quote from scotty2888 :

What was the descision on the broadcast? Is it being broadcasted? If so where?

Check out http://www.livestream.com/ndrtv on race day and I'm sure you'll see some TBOs blasting around.

Right this is FINISHED.

Cleaned up thread. Sign-ups only please!

All the off topic stuff has been moved to the 'Season 2?' thread. If you're going to continue, do it there.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Im not bragging (well i suppose i am) i beat the previous WR by 2-3 tenths in qually, won race 1, made the biggest progress in race 2 until me and Jack had an off and you don't want me to drive? Like i said, the rounds after i couldn't make due to other stuff and whilst i only joined with 2 races left i didn't see the need to go totally out of my way to race FE2 which is the worst car for the XRT anyway or the last round which i wasn't even around for iirc when there wasn't a championship to contend for. But whatever, suit yourselves.

When the series was announced it was strictly first come - first served due to the fact that:

a) It gives every person from TBOC pleb (Ellis) to TBOC ace (Ramon) the opportunity to compete.

b) The drivers turning up : sign ups ratio was appalling in the 2009 season.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

i beat the previous WR by 2-3 tenths in qually, won race 1, made the biggest progress in race 2 until me and Jack had an off and you don't want me to drive?

And you believe that just because someone is faster than another that they have a right to push someone slower out?

End of discussion.

Quote from Wilko868 :

(who I will probably get flamed by within the next 35 seconds for making this decision)

What did I say?

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Are we favouring people that raced last year? Having a shootout? Or keeping the same system?

For round 1, it will be the same system of first come - first served. Sorry to all you TBOC veterans (who I will probably get flamed by within the next 35 seconds for making this decision), but it will stay first come - first served.

Y'all know what happened last year though, so don't forget, as far down the reserve list as you are, there is always a massive possibility to race. If we have no shows, I will PM 3 drivers for every one vacancy. The PM will be recieved with around 10 minutes to go until the start of the event, so please anyone in the reserve list be ready with about 10 minutes to go for that PM.
