With SORL in full swing us here at Street Obsessions want to offer sporadic one-off races, that can range anywhere from throwing GTRs around Westhill to Rallyx within UF1s and everything in between.
This thread will be replied to each time a new sporadic event is announced, with time, date, cars, track, rules, etc. Each event will be come and race unless a sign-up is required (Say for a team race) these races will usually be one car, however sometimes it may be 2 or more.
All races will take place on the Street Obsessions server.
A news post for every race will also be announced on our website as well as here, along with results and replays as well: http://www.street-obsessions.com/
Base Rulebook
Some races may have their own rules set out (EG: Demolition Derby races) however for races that do not a base rulebook is listed below:
No intentional contact
Respect Flags
No corner cutting
No hacks/cheats/vob mods (doing so may lead to a permanant ban from any SO event)
Street Obsessions - Sporadic Race #1 - Jokkis (Aka: Folkrace)
RACE WILL TAKE PLACE ON THE 27TH OF JANUARY 2018
Our first sporadic event we want to start off with a bang, so due to this we've decided to start with Jokkis (Aka: Folkrace) a inexpensive, entry level form of Scandinavian rally cross.
The event will take place across 5 heats (7 laps) & 1 final (10 laps) with races having no specific starting order.
The track itself is a replica (with a few edits) made by Sindre Silva of Kalvholmen Folkrace track situated in Sweden.
The race itself will start at 18:00 GMT and last approximately 40 minutes (all heats and finals). (18:00 -> 18:50/19:00) after the race has finished we'll put on a few short sprint races (3 Laps) for those who want to stay on a little longer.
The car used for this race will be the XF GTI (XFG)
Rulebook
Due to the kind of racing a different style rulebook will be made. As Rally cross is a close, slightly filled with contact formula we're expecting accidental contact to happen a lot, that's just rallycross.
1. No INTENTIONAL contact (we understand mistakes happen)
2. If you roll and land off the track (or out of the raceway: eg beside the road) you don't have to shift+p
3. Pitgate will be shut before races (so spectating or pitting means your out)
4. No corner cutting allowed. (most turns are marked
5. Strictly no WW.
Track is loaded on the Street Obsessions server (will be unloaded for SORL on the 24th then return afterwards)
Trailer!
Here is a quick roll compilation (35s) made by ItzSe4n:
Knew the banger round would be entirely your thing though! Was a tonne of fun running it, will look for other folkrace layouts and see if we can piece together another, maybe even a flat replica of it!
27/05/2018 @ 18:00 BST (19:00 / 20:00 in various parts of the EU)

SOSR IS BACK, THIS TIME BIGGER THAN EVER.
Feel like getting some aggression out on LFS drivers? Or just trying your hand at derby style races. This SOSR event is for you, crash bash or race your way to the finish line.
Its up to you to figure out how you'll race in ever adapting, chaotic environments with
our next race being a harp to the cheaper, more destructive form of motorsport, banger racing. With this one bringing some LFS Adaptations of races from the classic destruction derby game, Driven To Destruction *(Test Drive; Eve of Destruction in some countries)*
The cars being used for this event are the GTi classification of cars (XFG+XRG)
Of course no banger race wouldn't be complete without the normal Oval Races, our oval for this race being a 85% gravel 15% Road oval.
In the spoilers I've put pictures of each track with a description of what they are (At the bottom of the post)
RULES - A MUST READ
1. "The only places where WW is allowed are marked with red chalk i.e. corners." (No WW allowed in JUMP races)
2. Pinning, blocking or intentionally preventing a driver from racing in a fair manner for a significant amount of time is not allowed.
3. Races will only restart if there is lag on first lap of a race.

7. No pitting and rejoining any races.
8. You must spec in the DD if you are either rolled or your clutch dies.
9. No constantly turning around to re-do the fig 8 in fig 8 races
10. In any race that isnt the DD if you roll you dont have to pit or spec, you are able to be unflipped by other cars, same goes for clutch death in anything that isnt the DD, if your clutch dies in a race (non DD) you can stay on the track.
11. No cheats, hacks, VOB mods and crash mods at ANY time.
12. Pitting or spectating at ANY TIME during a race is an instant DNF from that heat.
13. As this is a banger race we'll hold the right to deny a driver entry on the event IF THEIR PING can cause issues (EG: Heavy crash pinging, frequent ghosting, etc)

This post details the finishing standings of each race, along with some comments where appropriate, and the result of the demolition derby.
Race 1 - Oval Track Heat 1
Race 2 - Oval Track Heat 2
Race 3 - Figure 8 Heat 1
Marty got a penalty for jump-starting because he accidentally released the clutch. We cleared it because he waited for the start lights.
Race 4 - Figure 8 Heat 2
Race 5 - Suicide Race Heat 1
Race 5 was quite interesting. There was a 30 second penalty for ST.GT! although he spectated later anyway therefore giving himself a DNF. Zonda was disqualified for using added weight in his setup. Bunny spectated, therefore DNFing, and Huski ran out of fuel.
Race 6 - Suicide Race Heat 2
Race 6 was also quite interesting. Sky spectated, therefore DNFing. GT4Tube managed to somehow jump through the barrier to prevent people joining midrace. As funny as it was, he was warned multiple times to stop doing that. After being spectated a few times, he was kicked.
Race 7 - Jump Race Heat 1
Within race 7, Muro was hit out of bounds, and GT4Tube spectated therefore they both ended up with a DNF. Zonda attained a 45 second penalty for jumping the start.
Race 8 - Jump Race Heat 2
Within race 8, Gegg jumped the start and was spectated, but the admins decided to restart the race to allow him to participate. Zonda & ST.GT! ended up out of bounds.
Race 9 - Jump Race Heat 3
Within race 9, Stealy flipped and therefore got a DNF.
Before race 10, there was a decision by the admins to change the schedule. We put the jump race last instead of having it straight after 3 heats. Therefore, the next race was the Oval Final.
Race 10 - Oval Final
Within race 10, Freddy DNF'd.
Race 11 - Figure 8 Final
Within race 11, both [R]Crea00tive and RZonda gained penalties but similar to Marty's penalty beforehand, we decided to clear them because they waited for the actual start.
Race 12 - Suicide Race Final
Race 12 was very interesting. Out of the many starters, only 3 people managed to finish! The carnage was really a sight to behold.
Race 13 - Jump Race Final
Demolition Derby
Participants are listed in order of going out so the first person listed is the first one to go out:
FLAME
SOR•R.McKenzie
[CSR] Swiftzz
[R]Muro
[R]M.Indriksons
[R]Crea00tive
pulse¦suki
SO•D.Karlsson
SO•Rzonda
SO•M.Evers
SO•A.Kairis
[OK] Osku
The final result was a draw between Bunny and Coyotek.
They both hit each other at the same time and flipped at the same time, therefore the admins made the decision that it should be classed as a draw.
Overall Thoughts
Overall, the event went well. Apart from some minor issue loading a layout at one point, and some arguing between some people in the demolition derby, the event went well.
RACE WILL TAKE PLACE ON THE Street Obsessions Racing SERVER
Saturday the 7th of July 2018 @ 18:00 BST
Hello! We're returning to SOSR with a slower car this time out in the UF 1000 for a close race of both dirt & tarmac, for 20 laps this race should approximately last 30 minutes.
The race will be preceded by a 15 minute qualification as well, open from 18:00 BST on the Street Obsessions Racing Server
The qualifying is scheduled to start in about 1hr and 15 mins @18:00 BST. The qualifying isn't compulsory so if you want to just come for the race you can do that, too. The server will be on 0.6R, but there was a new patch just released recently so just don't update for the time being in case of any problems.
Alex lagged out at the end of the qualifying session. We waited for him for a while but he didn't rejoin until sometime later, by which point the race had already started.
Race Results:
Notable events:
dhamulle spectated at the end of the qualifying session and did not join the race until after the lights had already went out. Therefore, he had to start from the pitlane.
SO•Juntu disconnected.
9397 disconnected.
Huski flipped on lap 16, and subsequently DNF'd.
Overall, there was some very close racing in the actual race itself and the battles were very entertaining to watch.
