We're currently experiencing issues with our hosting solution. Our traffic levels have grown in recent months and it seems that our current server provider are unable to meet our increased hardware demands. I'm going to attempt to migrate the website to a new server over the next day or two so there are likely to be further issues affecting all areas of spdoracing.com.

Belenzada and de Jong join spdoRacing
Tuesday, 6 December 2011

Serbian Veljko Belenzada and Dutchman Rik de Jong have joined spdoRacing.

28-year-old Belenzada – who has already appeared twice for the team in the Super GT Series – joins following a 12-month period in which he was unaffiliated to any teams. Previously, he was a long-serving member of European team Serbian Hell Drivers.

De Jong – who will turn 20-years-old in January – recently parted company with My3id Gaming following a fruitful two-year spell with the team. His arrival at spdoRacing sees the former CoRe Racing member become the first person to appear for the sim's three most decorated teams, both in terms of race victories and podium finishes.

The two signings take the size of spdoRacing's roster to 21 members.

Quote from manneF1 :Guys, wtf is up whit FIA?

Alonso didn´t get a penalty for having rearwing open in wrong place. And I don´t belive in any mechanical failure in that part. Sauber had DQ for having rearwing hair sized wrong

Morgan Trollé joins spdoRacing
Sunday, 6 March 2011

Frenchman Morgan Trollé has joined spdoRacing following his successful drive with the team at last month's 24 hours of Aston.

The twenty-year-old recently played a major role in the team's GT2 victory at MoE's prestigious 24 hour event. Not only was the former E-team driver quick and extremely consistent during the race, but also his quick reaction to Adam Wisniewski's hardware-related disconnection from the server limited damage to the team's result and ultimately enabled them to take victory.

Trollé will add further depth to spdo's endurance line-up whilst also providing experienced backup to the team's management - the French driver has a wealth of experience in both running competitions and in managing a team.

With three rounds to go in the current MoE season, Trollé will be looking to take his new team to their first ever championship title in Live for Speed's most competitive endurance league. His first race as a member of spdoRacing is likely to be the 6 hours of South City.

Fredrik Noor, formerly known as Fredrik Fredrikkson, has joined spdoRacing.

An experienced endurance racer, the Baltic Cup race winner recently made his debut for the team in the GT1 class of the Masters of Endurance series' annual 24 hour race, in which he finished second.

The 22-year-old Tallinn resident, a long term former member of Estonian Endurance Racers, is the third Estonian driver - after Egon Liibeon and Reno Kööts - to join spdoRacing within the last 12 months. His recruitment takes the size of the team's roster to 21 drivers.

Fyi, /(?<=[^a-z])start[a-z]*/ is case sensitive and /(?<=[^a-z])start[a-z]*/i is case insensitive.

Quote from broken :[.^a-z]*
Not just [.^a-z]

And it won't match . or ^ or any a-z character.
[\.\^a-z] , however will, I believe. At least in PHP.

Nah, that's wrong. It is as I described in my last post and morpha goes into more detail above.

Look at the link I provided in my last post; it's very useful when building regexes and understanding what they actually do.

Is [.^a-z] really what you want? That will match '.', '^' or any character in the a-z range whereas [^a-z] will match anything which is not a character in the a-z range.

Strfriend is useful when you're building regexes.

Reno Kööts rejoins the team
Monday, 20 December 2010

Estonian teenager Reno Kööts has rejoined spdoRacing, little more than a year after choosing to leave the team.

Kööts, 15-years-old, recently appeared for the team in the Masters of Endurance series, driving over four hours non-stop in the challenging GT0 class and ultimately setting the fastest lap of the race.

Josh Di Fabio said: "I'm pleased to get another driver on board, particularly with the increasing struggle to fill two cars in MoE.

"Reno is a very quick driver. People will question his loyalty, and perhaps rightly so, but he's convinced me over the last couple of months that he deserves another chance with us."

Quote from PMD9409 :Bored in class again, ill try to help 'show' the issue, or advantages let's say, that have changed.

The xrr on r2 tires will be faster start of stint, but why wouldn't it? It has less fuel. The counter advantage for the fzr is that it has 'better' tires. Also as the stint runs to the end, the fzr and xrr weight due to fuel is much more similar, and that is when the fzr will shine.

On tracks like we1 and possibly as6r, the xrr will most likely run r3 tires compared to fzr in its r2/r3 tires. Sure once again the xrr might be pretty quick start of stint because of fuel, but the fzr will turn that around end of stint on lower fuel and most likely better tires.

The xrr still has the disadvantage of being able to flip and the only one to get stuck in the gravel.

When balancing the xrr/fzr no one normally thinks about the fuel advantage, even in gr1 balancing. When you want xrr/fzr to be even, most only run the first 25-50% of a stint to see the xrr slightly quicker or both cars even, no one ever drives the full stint to see the fzr burn off the fuel and have the better looking tires end of stint to reel in the xrr.

Finally to add in the factor that when xrr has r2 tires, the fzr can stretch its stint if it is using r2/r3 tires. There's many things you have to factor out when balancing, and q times are about 5% of it.

The test race is there to test the restrictions, because we won't know how it is in racing conditions until we put it in race conditions. Deko already said there's another test race after this, the official one to test teams iirc, so don't jump to conclusions just yet. Let's test it properly, and we can then easily analyze which restrictions will probably be for the best.

Don't forget the 5+ second per pit-stop advantage that the turbos have over the FZR as a result of not having to take on as much fuel.

The Alonso/Vettel start incident was identical to the start of the Hockenheim race by the way. I think that Schumi's penalty at Hungary largely owed to the fact that he forced Barrichello across the pit exit at high speed.

Quote from CSF :http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/h ... t/formula_one/9034642.stm

Alonso waits a long time before doing it and his move is violent. Vettel has his RF wheel almost inside of Alonso. Fernando was just going to shove him in the wall. Dirty driving. Should be a ten place penalty.

Looking at that Alonso moved a lot later than I thought. I can't tell for certain from that angle but it looked like he probably had some overlap after all. If that's the case then I think it's quite marginal. I still don't think it's quite as bad as the Schumacher/Barrichello incident mostly because Vettel yielded before it got dangerous and as such we don't really know how far Alonso would have gone.

Quote from amp88 :What's the difference between Alonso moving across on Vettel at the start and dive-bombing someone from 50 metres back? In both cases you're relying on the other person realising you're there and yielding to stop a collision.

The difference is that changing your line once to prevent someone passing you is allowed. Wrecking someone isn't.

Quote from amp88 :What's the difference between Alonso moving across on Vettel at the start and dive-bombing someone from 50 metres back? In both cases you're relying on the other person realising you're there and yielding to stop a collision.

Vettel didn't have any overlap at all when Alonso started to move across the track. There was nothing dangerous whatsoever in what Alonso did. If Vettel had decided to try and pass when the gap was too small then that would have been dangerous. But he didn't, because that would have been stupid. He also didn't even mention that he thought Alonso's move was dangerous afaik.

Quote from amp88 :In Hungary Schumacher almost did this to Barrichello but he left just enough room. So many people went crazy about it, calling for Schumacher to be penalised in some way. Alonso was more ruthless than that today and it was only because Vettel yielded that there wasn't a collision.

I think Alonso immediately moved to defend his position at the start and Vettel was at no point beside him. Schumacher waited until Barrichello decided to go inside him and then squeezed him towards the wall - continuing to do so when the cars were beside one another. Still, I didn't think that the incident in Hungary was a clear-cut penalty by any stretch. Rubens could have backed off if it was so dangerous but he didn't. Still, the incidents were different for the reasons I already outlined.

Quote from amp88 :This is where your logic fails. The only reason we didn't see a start crash between Alonso and Vettel was because Vettel backed out of it. If Vettel had been aggressive and continued to push for the lead the chances of a crash were very high...

So what exactly is the issue? The outcome was in Vettel's hands and it would have been reckless for him to move into a gap that was disappearing all the time. Alonso started moving over very early - long before Vettel was beside him.
