edited: 12/12/08 - Updated first post with the changes in the system.
Stars and Stripes Sim Racing is proud to announce the launch of a new tiered racing system for LFS. Each driver's race craft index (RCI) is tracked and updated for every race held on the tiered servers. Finishing races improves a driver's RCI. Causing yellow flags decreases a driver's RCI. Higher tiers require higher RCIs. Speed and finishing position are not part of the equation. The #1 goal is to ensure (as much as possible) clean racing.
A bevy of information, including the scoring system, can be found on the S3R tiered racing website. Some key points:
- Everyone starts with zero points and a basic license, which allows racing on the S3 Racing Tier 1 server.
- Racing cleanly earns a higher RCI. An RCI of 125 or greater is required to race on tier 2.
- Drivers can be kicked off of even the lowest tier with an RCI under -30. In the event that a driver goes below -30, his/her points are reset to 0 after 3 days. This is to prevent a driver from being locked out of the system forever, while still providing a period of time to practice offline.
- We plan to add more tiers and/or servers based on demand.
- Tracks rotate every three hours. Each server has it's own track rotation. The track rotation is random, but you will not have the same venue (i.e. two Aston tracks) back-to-back.
- Scoring is graded based on the number of drivers in the race.
- Tier 1 (for now) is TBO, Tier 2 is LRF.
Please direct any feedback on the system, bugs, questions, suggestions, etc, to our forum.
