Hi,
I want to host a 1.5 hour race with the FO8 and the Kyoto Ring, I have not fully decided if it will be 1.5 hours but I think it is more than likely to be that.
It will be about 2 months after the FOX championship.
Please post what you think of the idea, but remember I only do this for you the LFS community so don't go flaring at me if you don't like it.
Kind Regards,
J.Provost
Bad idea IMO. There is very little point in running an oval race longer than let's say 30/45 minutes with no caution periods. And though we all know your uber SC driving skills, you/your organisation simply do not have the experience(nor any kind of mature and competent manpower also) for running an oval race with caution periods. You'd better focus on your FOX league now, and try to run it half-decently, then think again of a (simpler) special event afterwards if it's a success.
I don't know the guy, but please, be careful with him. Most people named "Stig" on LFS I know are either absolute fools or double accouting folks
Seriously though.
1) A Safety Car driver don't have any influence in the success of a league. He can easily ruin an event in the unlikely case he pisses off when you decide to call him on track, or if he crashes in front of the field. But even the most competent SC driver couldn't do anything to improve the quality of an event if put with an inexperienced and unorganised adminning team.
2) I can't see how you can realistically compare "IDENT-RACING" with one of the most experienced and recognised LFS event organising team. And keep in mind that even NDR were far from delivering the perfect copy in their inaugural Kyoto 250 running...
Boothy is right anyway. If you're actually willing to learn, just show up in one Kyoto 250 practice session and see roughly how it is like
Ye but once the radio guy was ill and there was only one clark of the course, so I was the only one who knew the callsigns and how to run the camera program.
I know ident-racing isnt the best team in the world but we are starting out. And I'm not trying to be as good as the Kyoto 250. I just want it to be fun for racers on LFS.
