Sad to see a lot of cutting of the final corners from some drivers.

Other than that the event was fun if a bit quiet for me, I got into a gap with nobody nearby quite early on in both races so was just a case of cruising to the finish and seeing how many green poles I could kill.


Thanks to team SA, havoc etc for organising the season very impressively, especially as a first effort. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the next one you put together.

Yes, it's common for the faster people to vanish towards the end of a championship in my experience too. Good thing I was never racing to win hehe.

Thanks Havoc, looks like the admins are going to have a busy day replacing the posts on that chicane.

Unlucky mena, I think you should still score some points at least.


Anybody want to tell me how to try out the FE2 layout?

Quote from pik_d :

All but one of the XRGs qualified ahead of all of the XFGs on this track.

*crosses pik_d off his christmas card list*

Thanks, now I see where the rules is coming from at least.

But why is that the case? If it's not too impertinent of me to ask.

Using some basic assumptions on weight...each percentage adds just under half a kg to the 950kg that the XFG.

I normally run a 3% margin and then don't have to worry about fuel in the race. Shame I got it into my head that the race was 18 laps long really. :doh::doh::doh:

Well I had fun, the event was well organised and looked clean from my driving seat. Thanks to the admins and all who raced.

I have been resting an injury which means that I couldn't put in more than 20 laps of practice the day before the event, and apart from that hadn't driven LFS at all in over a month. I was definitely feeling a bit rusty so just aimed to stay out of trouble.

Sprint race:
Was fun. Myself and Bjornson were put a bit back from the rest of the pack after a T1 problem caused by another driver, but we had a nice fight between us for most of the race. The other driver was penalised already so I won't say any more on that one. Sadly Bjornson lost connection with a few laps to go, so we missed out on an exciting finish to the race and I inherited P15 from him.

Feature race:
Was going quite well, until with a few laps to go realised I didn't have enough fuel to make it to the end. After a second pit stop, I exited the pits alongside Solom and we had a battle for the last laps, with a final lap, last corner overtake to earn me P16.
