Just saw this article saying that Yamaha wants Rossi and Lorenzo to do the 8H of Suzuka this year, looks like it is going to be an interesting one! http://www.sportrider.com/yamaha-wants-rossi-and-or-lorenzo-to-race-suzuka-8-hours?src=SOC&dom=fb

Honda said that if Stoner would ever come back to motogp, it would be with preparation...now he didn't train on the new bike and never raced on the two next tracks. They didn't want to deceive Stoner's fans they said.

Without changing complicated stuff, a few bumps (a la south city) here and there to make braking more challenging wouldn't hurt in my opinion, just enough to remove the smooth carpet feeling. Also had the feeling that the asphalt texture look a bit cartoony and too regular, but that's a matter of test. For the rest I like it!

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Excellent WSBK debut for van der Mark at Philip Island. P5 in race 1, led some laps in race 2 before crashing from P4.

Yeah first race was quite good, in the second he wanted to see if he could fight with the big guns...knowing his tires wouldn't hold, hence why he crashed.

Sadly as expected I think it will be hard for the Pata Honda guys to fight for the champ with that old bike, but who knows, we may be up for some surprises on some tracks...fingers crossed!

They also announced last week that he'll be racing the 8H of Suzuka with Casey Stoner this year: http://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/2015/Van+der+Mark+joins+Stoner+for+Suzuka+8+Hours

When I saw you posting the news I started on the whiskey right away, now I am probably too drunk to find where I left LFS in my pc.

A video we can be proud of, thanks to you Jens!

Quote from Æthelstan :

I want to say thank you GenR, but of course especially to you, Dom. You've organised so many leagues, so many races. Still having leagues and races in LFS is your merit for a significant part. You were and you are one of the most dedicated people round here and seeing you step away from LFS saddens me to be honest.
But i guess it's also a new chance and i hope to participate in another league, organised by you, in a new Sim in the near future.

Yeah, all credits to Dom, he has been dedicated as hell, the time he has spent to make and organise those leagues is just unbelievable...When he asked me to give him the means to organise all that stuff, I personally thought he would never have the patience and determination necessary to keep up a long time (specially with a community that was becoming increasingly negative and ungrateful), but I was wrong! He has been exemplar all the way through and I am grateful to have such a great asset in our team! Thank you Dom!

Thank you to all the drivers and friends who have supported us by participating and helping in all the stuff we've been organising from the R2R public servers with the dailycious series to GenR Leagues. It was an honour to meet you all and I'll keep this in my memory as my best gaming experience ever (and I've started gaming in 1982), mainly due to you guys! hope to see you soon, here or on an other platform!

Congratulations to Adam and Vires!!

Thanks to all the drivers who didn't get on that podium, without strong midfield drivers there are no good competitions, so you are much more important than you think!

Sad news for LFS, but perfectly understandable...

THX for all the great races you've provided us over so many years!

Good luck!

Thank you! :bag of crisps:

Look at my car spinning around! :P

LOL Oliver, if that's what happens with the start I don't see how it could improve after a safety car restart? safety cars in LFS are everything but safe!

You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs!

I do agree, but when you consider how things are going at the moment in lfs it is already hard to keep league admins motivated to organise races, so I doubt this is the right period to request even more from them (most of us don't realise how much work it is and the little support they get to do it). Only a very few drivers are racing the leagues seriously/consistently and almost no one spend time to read the rules this days (which takes them so much time to write), those few drivers are the only reason why the admins still find some energy to organise and to maintain some kind of quality, but it is very frustrating for them when many drivers quit races and the numbers of participants drops half way through the seasons (the amount of sign ups don't even mean anything). And even if Victor give us a great league section in the forum, I don't see in what way it would improve teams and drivers motivations. The only reward league admins are looking for is to see motivated and dedicated participants, and only the addition of content will change this situation...Sadly there is not much they can do about that!

That said I can't talk for every league organisations, but I'll have a chat with GenR's members to see if someone want to dedicate some time for posting news to announce races and results (Dom has already too much to do), which are two things we don't do enough in my opinion.

Grats to the drivers and the team!

Welcome to the GenR family Ricardo!

I'm sure you'll be a great addition to the team and I hope you'll have fun with us!

Nice tweak Dave, THX!

I'm still the phase of getting use to the new forum, so I will not comment at this point in time, but there is something I miss and that is the ''new posts'' button being accessible from everywhere. I mean that when I read a post I always have to click the forum button to find the new posts button..maybe there is an easy fix for this?

Yeah it was really an awesome race and championship!!

Michael won the World Supersport Chamionship yesterday and to make it a perfect day his father Henk (GenR's sponsor) finished on the podium of the Europen Classic championship (with the same bike they won le Mans in 1984) at the 4h of Nurburgring.

Quote from TFalke55 :

Looks like GenR now has a world champion team member Gratulations to Michael!

Hehe looks like I had too much tears in my eyes to be able to post first...I am so proud of him, this was a really hard race where he could have avoided confrontation, but his will to be first was just too strong again, just awesome!!

I'll post a link for the race as soon as it is updated...itis a must watch!

Michael dominated all sessions and he's on pole for today's race, Cluzel who's second in the champ qualified 10th: http://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/2014/Van+Der+Mark+puts+one+hand+on+the+title+with+Pole+Position+at+Jerez

Fingers crossed, he may be able to win the champ today....race is at 11:40CET on Eurosport2.

Sorry, an emergency at work prevented me from doing prequali...So I have to withdraw for round 2...

Ok I've setup our public server for 20min quali and 10 laps races (added a few messages too), if you want longer races, just ask an admin! There is no password for the moment, plz do test that it works as expected and report here if you notice anything wrong, I'll password it and add its info to the first post when everything is ok!

Server name: & GenR Public Racing

Enjoy!

Quote from Deutschland2007 :

Personally, I would be very much in favour of the public server being used. It's "easier" on the long run. Both league servers use the same Airio client, which isn't a problem during practice, but once you start pre-qualifying you would basically have to end racing on the 2nd server and do it on another host, so it's available to the drivers who want to pre-qualify.

Exactly my thought!

Would there be drivers interested in having our public server setup for quali + race with the next GT1C race combo? to simulate the 20min quali (where many failed in the last race, including me) and maybe something like 10 laps race? or more if you want?...we could use the same password as the league servers if you want it to be limited, or it could remain fully public with an admin team (I think we could manage that).



Interested? ideas?
