The 'BurnoutCrew' Tracker:
Will automaticly list all registered teams and racers for this event.

The 'BurnoutCrew' Lapcounter
This Tool is relevant for the final results at the end of this race. Two Lapcounters are tracking your race. One counts your driven laps ingame and displays the quantity you have reached and your current position (the LfS positions may be incorrect if you think of disconnects and surely mutiple grids) directly on your screen. The second will be hosted on the DoP Eventpage for external views, so your teammates and other visitors could get a quick summary of this race event.

Disconnect / Re-joins
There're many reasons for disconnects and we don't whant to distroy a race of fun for you. So, reconnects will be allowed. Of course you're losing a lap in lap-counter. That's it.
After reconnect you have to act carefully with blue flags. Admins may punish you for ignoring a blue flag caused by a faster/leading team. Others may be ignored. Unfortunetly there is no way to prevent LfS programmaticly from showing the blue flags. So it's up to you, to fit the rules of racing...

The Appreciation
It is only a team competition. The total number of driven laps decides the final placements. This is determinded by the Lapcounter. If there are two, or more teams in the same lap after race end, the first finish decides for winning this event. Penalties: The Admins could judge immediately about penalties; for example: crossing the pitlane, unfair actions, permanent ignoring blue flag and so on. The penalty scale could be ‘Drive through’ or ‘Stop and go’ und must fit in the next following three laps!

Exlusion
The BurnoutCrew organizes this Event. We will decide about necessary adjustments if needed. There will be no privileged participation.

Let's get started The LFS 'DoP - SignIn' Server is still open for next and main event of our 5Y BC Birthday Party. Your're welcome.

For the next race we've some administrative changes, f. e. we will have a teamspeak Server you should join for this event. Details will follow.

Important: For the new 'tracker tool' and the 'dop hud' we would have a test event. Plz notice!

How many drivers per team are allowed in 24 hour race?

Minimum age of 16, still...I bet I can drive better than 1/4 of the field that are 16 and older, but you guys still judge on age.

Although there are a lot of younger racers who are immature on the track and off the track there are also those who are perfectly fine. I'd suggest maybe throw a quick investigation of the racers past if he is under the age limit?

yes i agree, Kenneth is very good

I delete three post's (2x AMB, 1x fadeaway)

We will not tolerate verbal abuses or national motivated provocativeness in this thread. Next time an exclusion for this event will automaticly follow for both drivers or teams, without any discussion.

Topic here is racing! Respect that, plz!

Seems to be correct We would find a final decission about that issue this week.

Thank you.

Quote from pacesetter :

ok, he is fast but is he fair? will he take the time and wait until the corner has past (with a slower car in front)? most of young drivers don't take the time that needed. watch the last replays fo the 6H, 12H and 16H races, check the lfs nicks and watch the ages and you will see what i mean.

Actually, I have been racing in LFS for over two years now. I can assure you that I know well enough not to do stupid things such as what you have suggested. Maybe research the younger drivers for leagues that they have previously raced in and then make a decision? If they have not enough league expierience then do not allow them to join? But discluding all younger drivers from the race is completly wrong...

i said "most" of them, not all. f.e. many young drivers (some older one's too) think they can win a 24H race @ the first corner. the past shows that every time. and this 24H is a birthday race and not a "last man standing" race

Sorry, but it has to be pointed out: http://www.raceauthority.com/r ... lookup.asp?ReportID=21751

Umm, CTRA means nothing. They banned me for stopping against a wall (which they call a racing line) because my clutch over heated.

Anyway, could you put pass judgement on this rule, cos i have a driver i may ask if the rule is lifted, i may enter a UFR team in this

i'm a month too young !!! WHY GOD WHY!


sounds like a neat event anyway.

See what i mean, i racer like Dennis, or Ken, is getting denied entry when they are strong drivers who can do this on a trail basis, if there is not issues then you could lift the rule

Bit of a date misjudgement?

And doesn't AS GT use most of the corners of AS GP? How are you gonna do 2 races at once on them?

The whole point in endurance racing is IMHO not only being fast, but mor being fair and to be patient while overtaking someone in a slower car. I think that many young drivers are very fast, no doubt about it, but I think that the majority of young drivers are not very patient when they are racing in a fast class while slower classes are on track.

I'm pretty sure they chose it intentionally.

I don't think that has anything to do with age.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Yes, what could be a better date for a 24h-race?
We've announced that event in May 2008. We had no information about the plans of the MoE at this time.
Still that doesn't matters. Both events will happen at the same time. That may increase attention for both.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

i don't think so. MoE 24H is a NON PUBLIC 24H so, what's the problem with this date!?! the MoE members have a 24H and the publics have a 24H!


think about it

I am really looking forward to this, we all need oue 100 laps now, and then we are ready to go
