Idea...

Allow Demo users watch S1/S2 Replays!
They can catch all the action (even League/Champ races), without affecting any servers! Just download someones posted replay to watch it in their own time offline... and even get a glimpse of the best racing leagues out there!

Thank you all for your support!
Gerardo's family was amazed and appreciated the amount of messages of support received by the LFS local and general community.
Thanks again to all of you!

CRC G.Chaves will always be remembered... rest in peace my friend.

This came as a shock to all of us at LFSCR...
A good friend and teammate who always had a helping hand and good advise that went further than just the realm of LFS! A very dedicated and down to earth person in every aspect of his life. Specially his family! My deepest simpathies and condolences to his wife, children, and rest of his family. And I pray to God to bring strength and peace to them during this very difficult time.
I was told that the funeral services were packed, which just goes to show the kind of person he was! Gerardo, you'll be missed greatly...

Thanks mate...

Hi there Franky,

Our servers at LFS Costa Rica have been down for a couple of days already and have no idea whats the problem!
Unfortunately our Admin Neto-R has been away on vacation and left me with admin rights for the servers basicly to keep away the unwanted crashers, but apart from that I have no clue on running the servers! Is this a problem 500Servers can solve, or do we need to wait for Neto to return from his vacation which is in about a months time?
I really hope this is somthing which can be solved since we're running a weekly amature local league on tuesdays.
Any news on the problem and if it can be solved would be greatly appreciated...

Thank you,

Cheers,

Tripper

Thank you very much for a job well done!
Mis respetos! Un trabajo muy profesional!
Exitos en el futuro...
Saludos,

The list could be shorter... Some of these may be teaming up!

Quote from bunder9999 :

i felt with only six races, awarding more points to the podium than what is current would give those racers an insurmountable lead... but i'll take it under advisement, as i'm still going over the replay checking out incidents.

Thanks for your time! I also felt the same with rewarding the podium with more points as I was typing!
But maybe the other option I mentioned is more viable...

Quote :

Maybe separating the field by blocks awarding them points in a more even manner? Lets say: 8,7,6 points for podium... 5points for 4th-8th... 4points for 9th-12th... 3points 13th-16th... 2points for 17th-20th... and 1point for the rest. In this way any driver, lets say running 20th, will be rewarded with a point for every 4spots he moves up, instead of having to move up 12spots just for a single point!

Thanks again, for even taking into consideration my opinions...

Cheers,

Ok, It's clear now and I understand!

But...
(just an opinion!)
Wouldn't it had been better if lets say 28-26-24 for podium and 22,21,20...3,2,1 for the rest? In this way all would get points if started and completed at least 1 lap. And in this way gaining a a point for every spot you fight for, and not just sitting back if in 11th or 20th! Although the downside of this, is the big difference between 1st and 24th, which would be harmful for champ points if knocked out of a race! But it would reward consistency!
Now, back to the point system you've implemented for this league...
I understand the thinking behind it, so please take my criticism as a constructive criticism and not a complaint. What I feel is weird with this system is that the difference between 1st and 8th is the same as the difference between 8th and 9th! Maybe separating the field by blocks awarding them points in a more even manner? Lets say: 8,7,6 points for podium... 5points for 4th-8th... 4points for 9th-12th... 3points 13th-16th... 2points for 17th-20th... and 1point for the rest. In this way any driver, lets say running 20th, will be rewarded with a point for every 4spots he moves up, instead of having to move up 12spots just for a single point!

Anyway, just my opinion!
Thanks,

Cheers,

First of all, thank to Bunder and anyone else involved in putting together this league. As Pacesetter put it "this has what promises to be a very nice and friendly league"!

Unfortunately I had a minor spin at the first corner which set me way back, only recovering places where others made mistakes. Although I did enjoy myself.

I've seen the Race Results spreadsheet, but don't really get the point system! It just doesn't seem right! 4th to 8th with the same amount of points? Then a big gap between 8th and 9th! With same amount of points from 9th to 11th? It seems the only spot worth fighting for is 8th if your running in 9th! And not worth risking anything if you running between 5th and 7th! So how are points being handed out or calculated?

Thanks,

Cheers,

Is there any chance to change the car I will use? I'm still not sure if I would prefer to use the XFR, and when would the deadline for choice of car be? Thank you...

I totally agree and sympathize with you!
I only have a few months under my belt and I know the feeling. Sadly, a very high percentage of drivers are merely "videogamers" and have no sense of what real racedriving is about!
I personally have done a couple of amateur races and attended quite a few Track Days. I know (and sure you know too) what its like to be stuck behind a slower driver for quite a few laps because its never been safe enough to overtake them!
As you must know, most time in real racing, patience is virtue! Just hang in there, be patient and you'll soon have the best of them!
And as my experience in LFS so far, and as a recommendation... Join a league or participate in a championship. These normally have proper rulebooks, with race steward checking replays and penalizing drivers wrongdoings and abuses! And the feeling of racing these championships are the closest thing to real racing (the testing, qualifying, strategies, and even the pre-race jitters knowing that if you mess it up, thats it! No points!) is only surpassed by the real thng! I actually received my License by wining one of these championships. As a "noob" I was one of the slowest, but with patience, and clean racing, I won the championship without winning once, but by gaining points consistently in every race! Unlike the faster drivers who won a couple but also had DNF's mainly for rear-ending slower drivers plus being penalized for pushing someone off or by abusing them! So, in the end, I got the best of them!
Sometimes a server with a small grid of close clean racing is better, and more enjoyable than a server with a large grid of "videogamers"!

Although I've taken a shot at a couple of quick skins, this is my first try at a proper decent skin!
And hope to try it out as soon as I receive my license...
