Hello LFS-Drivers,
we, the TSF Team, have set up a new LFS-Server for you. But not a normal race, drift or even cruise server.
It's a TRIAL Server!
Umm, what does TRIAL mean?
On TRIAL courses you have to pass gates, which are positioned on natural terrain, mostly on hillsides or bumpy terrain. The aim is to solve the course
without hitting any of the posts! A quick time is welcomed too, of course. But it's not meant to rush through the course smashing the posts down.
The server is free to anyone but there are rules, as written down here:
LFS TRIALcourses RULES
-------------------------
1. Path
2. Joining / waiting list
3. Difficulty and types of Courses
4. Available courses
5. Server Adress and Trackchange
---------------
1. PATH
The path will be shwon by different types of gates (marked with posts):
Red Post-Gate
You have to pass them, otherwise, your time is not valid.
White Post-Gate
White Posts signaling end of a sector. You have to pass them in order to get a valid time!
Orange Post-Gate
These will guide you the way, its not mandatory to pass them, but recommended.
Green Post-Gate
Here's the finish!
There are some objects, like marker, which will help you finding the way.
But some courses are so long, that you may not find the right way first time, you drive it. When you hit a movable-object, you'll be given a time-penalty of 2 seconds. Hitting a barrier gives you no penalty-time, but may damage your car
2. JOINING & WAITING LIST
Because the trial-courses are specified as Autocross-Layouts, theres only one starting point, which can only be used by one driver at a time. Please be patient if start is blocked. We'll evaluate the possibility of adding a waiting list to the TRIAL-System. But that's not yet done.
3. DIFFICULTY AND TYPES OF COURSES
All courses are devided into difficulties, which are:
Green - Supereasy
Yellow - Easy
Blue - Difficult
Black - Superdifficult
The courses are also divided into different types:
classic = includes only gates and natural terrain
extra = including also ramps and other drivable objects
4. AVAILABLE COURSES
Here's a list of TRIALcourses available yet:
extracourses:
- BL Carpark I (BLUE)
- FE Hills I (GREEN)
- WE Sprawled I (BLUE)
- WE Sprawled II (BLACK)
classiccourses:
- WE Steep I (BLUE)
- FE TheClimb I (YELLOW)
5. SERVER ADRESS AND TRACKCHANGE
The Server has the following adress:
Simracing-FahrerlagerTRAIL
The courses are changed manually yet. In future it will maybe contain a voting system, like on cargame servers. But at this time, the courses are changed every 2 days, by myself.

Here are some demonstration videos, of some courses:

In this first post, I'll give you any further updates and news.
And now. Have fun!
I have created a Poll, to see if there's a demand for a TRIAL League.
PS: If you have ideas for TRIALcourses, you can of course post them here, or PM me
