Skin kits 'n stuff?

Skin kits 'n stuff?

Over the weekend.

Hey guys, try to do the practice sessions. As always making a couple are required. I noticed there are plenty of signups but roughly half or so have done practice sessions. Need more than that.

Deko will pour in plenty of sessions Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. So please be prepared. Would like to have a full grid of cars for the 250 (and large fields for the twins if possible).

Every session except the one i drove i was at work.I will try to attend all remaining sessions.It is not disrespect to the series.

I got really lucky with the timing of the sessions so I got a few done, but the rest of pretty much impossible for me. Wasn't meaning to call anyone out, was just making sure all knew about the practice sessions that are needed and that it is best to attend them when you can.

Using the password on the sign-up site I'm receiving a "wrong password" message :|

Copy and pasted it

Edit: It keeps sending me to the 2012 page

Sometimes there is a bonus space character that gets copied even though it doesn't exist to your sight of the page. Copy it to notepad first, then into LFS.

Make sure the URL is http://newdimensionracing.com/testbin/kyoto250/serverinfo and not http://newdimensionracing.com/kyoto250/serverinfo.

Sorry for double post, but the rules say this:

Quote :

4.All cars are single-driver cars. A “Team” is a grouping of at least one but no more than threecars. A team that wishes to run more than three cars as their team name may name theirteams similarly, with the only difference being an added number identifier (eg Team 1 and Team 2)

Does that mean we really have to add the number IDs to the team names if there are more than 3 people on the same team? I see at least three teams entered with more than 3 drivers, so I am wondering if this rule applies or not. Well, logically it should, but I’m just making sure.

When I go to the correct site it shows me logged in, but where the password should be it prompts me to log in rather than giving it to me. When I log in it sends me to the 2012 page and that password.

Edit: Fixed! The computer had me remembered from last year. I had to log out and then back in (same information)

Hey, I have a question that I've looked all around for, but I can't find the answer. Is this race 250 km, mi, or laps? I ask because I'm on a limited time table, so whichever is used to measure the race will affect my being able to compete.

250 miles / 135 laps + 5 pace laps

Last years race took about 2½ hours, which I think was the fastest race so far

Okay, thanks for your help. Not sure if I'll be able to compete now, I'm hopeful that I will though. It'll be my first "big" race in LFS if I'm able to make it.

I'm not able to actually enter on the website just yet, still need to get confirmation that I have a ride with a team for the race.

Team isn't needed. If you need a setup or something, I could help you with that.

I know a team isn't needed, I'd just like to have one, and I have a deal lined up, if only the owner would respond.

But I'll enter now and if he agrees, I'll modify my entry.

MOM 2013 so to speak all practice races in one chart.

Matt, you are now out of jail.

I am unsure where to ask, but this is about pit lane use:

The Clean Driving Rules states:

P-3: Cars on the pit driving lane have right-of-way over cars in, and coming out of, the pit stall lane.
P-4: When leaving the pit stall, drivers must join into the pit lane immediately unless there is oncoming traffic.

Last night I have seen drivers finishing their pitstops and then driving on the left of the pit parking spaces, passing drivers on the left while they are stationary doing their pit stops. In one instance I was hit by a car passing on my left while I was stationary.

In my opinion:

Proper use of pits:

1) Stay in the pit lane
2) Turn sharply into your pit parking space, do your pit stop
3) Turn sharply out of your pit parking space into the pit lane
4) Fill up pit parking spaces from the front towards the back - especially when 15 cars try to pit simultaneously.

This is nice to try, but it's not that easy in LFS especialy because the pit stalls are hard to see sometimes, and i don't want to loose 5 sec in pits..

I believe you'll find that the NDR Sporting Code section on Pitlane echoes those rules. Drivers are asked to stay in the driving lane unless stopping. I noticed some abysmal situational awareness during Friday's early session, with the bumping and barging. Yes, I know you all want to make up as much time as possible, but avoid contact doing so.

If it would help vision of the pit stalls, I can add chalk lines and/or poles to help mark them. I will complete the spaces with chalk when I get home from work in a few hours, other objects later.

You could also make flags that are coming out of the garage stalls, much like the flags NASCAR pit crews use to signal their driver.

Edit: It might also be beneficiary to make a commitment cone and blend cone.
