Hi guys,

This thread is for any questions or info or recommendations for the cup. If you have ANY questions please ask here, thanks.

Will there be a teams championship?

Is there a reversed top 8 for race 2?

No and no..
We are thinking of 3 races a night, qually for race 1 , finishing position for race 2 and top 8 reversed for race 3..

Sounds good....

On which days will be the races? On wednesdays, like last season?

Accually we have decided on having 3 races a night on 3 of the 6 rounds in the series and 2 races on the other 3 rounds so for the rounds that have 2 races it will be for race 1 you start where you qualify and for race two i will pick a number out of a hat from 6 - 10 and from the number i pick will be reversed and if theres three races a night then you start race one where you qualify and for race 2 you start from where you finish race 1 and for race 3 i will pick a number out of a hat between 6 and 10 and from the number i pick will be reversed.

firstly, is the car XF GTI or XF GTR? also, is the race at the weekends, and what time is it (if its been decided). also do we have to upload our skins before the race and do we have to be in teams?

The car is the XF GTI. I don't think the admins made a decision made a decision about the time of the race yet. You need to upload your skin on the thread named "skins", even if you should better wait a little bit without making yours because the admins will probably make some nice numberplates. And, no, you don't have to be in a team.

oli17, I think that as a demo race you can't join any of the tracks in the calendar, even Blackwood as it would be configured as S2 host rather than demo. You can join by adquiring a S2 license, but I'm afraid you can't take part in the champ as a demo racer.


Ontopic: XFG + Sundays is confirmed, isn't it?

*sigh* i went over this in the sign ups thread (basically i will have it by then). so what are the specs for the skin? number, logo and the rest is up to me?

Yes that's it. Just be aware that you will be likely to make some modifications on your skin at some point because of this :

Nope, just get a basic template for the XFG, and I encourage you to download the LFS Viewer, which includes basic JPGs templates for all the cars.

After that, just get your favourite image editor and start to work

where are these templates? i downloaded them but don't know how to get the templates to photoshop? what folder are they in?

lfs/data/skins - its called XFG_default.jpeg. Resize it to 2048*2048 for skinning.

i only have like 5 files in there, and they aren't it. all of the skins are in .dds format, why aren't yours? what's going on!?!??

GOT IT! it was in lfs/data/data/skins...WTF!
