Just wondered how many LFSers out there have ever been involved in a race where every driver has completed the race? Last night the GFC had 18 cars on the grid and every single driver finished the race. The race was 75 minutes long!

It's never happened to me before and I was wondering how rare or not this is.

We had 2 rounds in the RSSC S2 will no DNF's

Some time ago spanish community talked about this and many of you call us bad pilots....
I see now that we aren't the worst :bananadea

You mean people on here said you were bad drivers for all finishing? lol Doesn't surprise me somehow This forum can display some odd view points sometimes.

It is rare because normally in long race at least 1 person drops out due to a bad setup choice or lack of concentration and go for a visit to see the wall Even in small races you will get people dropping out.

I don`t think I have been in a race where everyone have completed, usually 25-50% of the field seems to die on the way

I have never run a league on anything but multi-server, split by times. Thus, I've always run on the slower server .

I do think I've been in a race finish with everyone finishing (long time ago). I've also won my only race where there was only me and a guy I lapped on the last lap finish out of 12 or so race starters.

No 'flaky internet' disconnects?!

I would imagine that would be half the battle of keeping a full field of cars.

IGTC has had at least one race where everyone finished, IIRC.

And SR finished in every race we took part in

Can't think of the last race where everyone completed the race that started it.

Didn't think it was possible in LFS with the way many believe you can drive a car

I've been in tons of short races with everyone finishing (no more then 10 people or 10 laps) As for long races, usually somebody drops due to connection failure, or just cheeses off because they can't handle the race (I'm guilty of that once or twice)

Demo races always have drop outs, in the 7 races I've competed in (hardly anyone ever races on demo) I've come first place 4 times simply because I'm the only one in the field that can keep my car intact long enough to finnish the race. the other 2 I won because of driving skill and one I lost horribly because of a driver error (not mine!)

other than that, I've driven along in a fue races that weren't worth the effort, and I can't bring myself to call real races. I've come in first place because EVERYONE but me dropped out.

^No I'm talking about S2 races (but anytime I hit up the servers, things are pretty dead) I hate timezone changes.

MoE often has everyone finish as well, though that's sort of a special case since you can wreck/disconnect and rejoin.

I had lots of league races with no DNFs.

Publics are another thing though....

I don't think I've ever been in a public S2 race where all starters finished. Not with a grid larger than about 5 drivers anyway ...

Speaking of grid size, what do you guys prefer? I like just racing with 4-5 decent racers, not too serious, just havin' fun. I find with the larger grid there's alot of bustle going on (not general racing chaos; people getting crazy weird damage, big crashes, fighting etc.)
Although I guess this is just the servers I go to, I imagine league or 'competative' servers are different.

I wish I had the time to take part in more organised races

Having said that one of the great things about LFS is just being able to open it up and find a server with a combo that offers decent racing, if not your first choice, 24 hours a day. Unfortunatley you do have to watch out for the karters and unknowns but you can pretty quickly gauge whos who and who is going to dive into a tiny gap from five miles away and adapt your driving to suit.
