Hi Everybody! (Hi Dr. Nick!)
We here at New Dimension Racing want to be the first to wish everybody in the LFS Community a very Merry Christmas. And so, we’re holding a Xmas Endurance Event on Friday 19th December. It’s 2 hours long, dual-class around the historic Blackwood Grand Prix Track. We’d like as many people to team up as possible forming 2-man teams. It’s ok though if you want to stay as a 1-man team, but you’ll still have to make a mandatory pit stop.
Information about the event is detailed below:
General:
Server: FRO|FormulaRacing|NDR
Password: PMed to you.
Date: 19/12/08
Time: Quali starts at 6.45pm GMT
Track: Blackwood Grand Prix
Cars: GT2 (specs below) and TBO
Length: 2 hours
Standing Start.
Mandatory Pit Stop.
Car Specifications:
We had such a great race for R7 of the LFSBC that we’ve again decided to use GT2-spec versions of the GTR cars within LFS. We’ve based them upon the CTRA specs, but with a few differences to make them more suitable for longer races. Thanks to the CTRA and to scipy for making them.
GT2 Specs:
FXR – 34% Air Restriction + 7kg Ballast
XRR – 34% Air Restriction + 7kg Ballast
FZR – 28% Air Restriction
TBO Specs:
Default.
Qualifying:
Qualifying will be 10 mins long per class. The GT2 class will qualify first, then the TBO class. ALL members of your team may do laps in this session – your team’s best time will count. It may be necessary to boot people off if their qualifying session is not on, FRO|FormulaRacing|1GP will be set to the correct combo for some last minute practicing.
Timetable (all times GMT):
6.45pm – GT2 Qualifying Starts
7.00pm – TBO Qualifying Starts
7.20pm (ish) – Race Starts (2 hours)
Other notes:
There will be NO SC. If you roll/crash or whatever please spectate. You will be allowed back into the race, with a 1 lap penalty. Please try and remember roughly what lap you crashed on so that we don’t have to scour the replay post-race! Same goes for disconnects. Please watch out for blue flags e.t.c. if this does happen.
There are no entry requirements for this either, this race is just for fun.
Broadcast:
Exact Details TBC. But yes it will be broadcast
Please ask questions e.t.c in this thread, then find the Sign-ups thread in the NDR Section of this forum. It’s completely first-come-first-served, with a max of 16 teams per class. If a class is full then you’re welcome to be a reserve.
We hope to see as many people as possible at this event, its open to everyone, complete n00b or seasoned pro! So don’t let a lack of experience put you off!
