Something I'd like to see would be, that when a race finishes and everyone has crossed the line, after a few seconds the game reverts automatically to either practise or qualifying. As it is, there's a lot of mooching around until someone decides to start a vote. It would be nice for there to be a definitive 'end' to a race.

I think this might work better with a proper server rotation list, like you get with maps in fps games, have the server wait until all cars are finished and then repeat whatever session just took place ... and if a rotation is setup, move to that session or track.

The race should restart about 30 seconds after the previous one finished. Or maybe more so we can run to the loo 45 will do.

Quite!

I like this idea alot. Especially a map rotation scheme. Alot of people moan about there not being enough variation in LFS, but with a map/car rotation scheme then people could have a great selection and a very varied session of races.

Obviously Hotlappers or people who are practicing/learning won't like the constant track and car changing but IMO it would make a nice change.

OT: Come back to LFS then have you doorman?

Im currently MIA with a dodgy ISP so I might have missed you on the servers/

Map rotation can be handled by an InSim app called "Race Manager". Do a search on it and you should find plenty of hits in the forum.

You'll wait a year before everyone crosses the line though... what with newcomers fooling around in the pit lane and all. It would have to be a certain time after the race is won. But that's pretty iffy--especially on the longer endu races.

5 minutes after race finishes? Even a lap at UF1 at AS GP shouldn't take that long. I like the idea of "race over - reverting to practise session".

Yeah, well that's definitely better than nothing. Should probably be left up to the admin.

Well, after the GTL servers debacle we thought we'd give LFS a go and decided that we like it! Obviously it's good to take a break.

As far as Race Manager is concerned, I understand that. But I'm asking that it should be integrated into the game. Much less of a faff factor.
