Seriously dude... people here are able to think for themself and have an opinion on something without people writing them trying to tell them whats best. I just don't see the point. At all. Go cure world hunger or something instead of wasting your time on writing lame PM's.
here, here. But dont forget to post each message on here so we can all read
What sort of 'team effort' would you like to see? Im not really sure what other option there is that makes it more of a team effort.
Every team is allowed 2 cars, and you can put any 2 (or 4 for endurance i'd imagine) of your drivers into the car to get you the best result possible.
How you get there is your choice, whether the whole team mucks in and the fastest 2 do the event or you assign 2/3 drivers to practice... at the end of the day its a series putting teams up against one another. It wasnt any more/less of a team series last time round, except now its about 4.5x bigger.
And for the record (and not specificly aimed at you), I hate this stupid term 'hotlapping' as its being used in this series recently.
'Hotlapping' would be offline HLVC hotlapping, thats the specific term which has been used for the last 5 years to describe this.
'Open Server qualifying' (or whatever you'd want to call it) would be a turn up whenever, do some laps and leave when you feel like it.
And then bog-standard qualifying, where you turn up before the race and qualify there and then.
For some reason this tracker based qualifying system has become termed as 'Hotlapping' which is just confusing to give it the same name as an existing phrase for a completely different event in LFS.
Theres been no 'Hotlapping' of the HLVC kind mentioned in this series to my knowledge (although the lazy use of the term only confuses matters).
For bona fide team effort, perhaps you could have one driver steering, another doing the pedals and maybe a third doing the gears (or even a 4th who could press his "Blue Flag noob!!!!!" keybind every so often).
I should hope so too, having someone there doing gear changes is silly, just stick it on auto-gears!
Only problem is, im still not worthy of being the 'Blue Flag noob!!!!!' button presser, i'd always mistime it or press the 'Press Ctrl+R for NOS!!!!!' button
The argumentation is over and now it's voting time, so I wount spill a lot of words with argumentation again.
Just to clearify what I didn't explain proper in my statement that none of the suggestion is good, I ment that suggestion 1 means hotlapping more or less and suggestion two isn't good be course you have to do it before every race and the team mates might very well end up in different divisions.
Besides you guys forgot that in a real team event you need one driver to turn the wheel to the left and another for turn it right as well. There the is the real team effort! ...
If we are unable to get ahold of WolleT's LFS tracker we need a backup plan
i was thinking something similiar to my idea on the division sorting
Open 3 servers few weeks before round 1
Example combos:
FWD: Kyoto National Reverse - XFG
RWD: Blackwood GP - GTR
Open wheeler: South City Town - MRT
There will be 3 x 20mins Qualifying sessions on each server
To determine the divisions take fastest lap from each team and from all 3 servers. Add these lap times together as a total this will decide the divisions
from here it will work same as last season 16 teams 32 drivers (2 cars per team) Same division all 8 rounds
