Love this mod! Really great work.
Would love to see a race version too
One observation, the graphical gauge rev limit is 8k but the LFS rev limit is 7k.

MRc E-Challenge 2024: Season Briefing
MRc E-Challenge 2024 - Season Briefing
To save walls of text and the risk of missing information in the usual procedure stuff, we have decided to try a new form of briefing. This season briefing will be in effect for the entirety of the season. Each round will still have a round specific driver briefing but this should be much smaller and will focus on the unique elements of that round.
All drivers are required to read all information below post a reply to this thread to confirm they have read and understood the information within. Failure to confirm this will result in you not being allowed on track for official sessions.
1. Communications
All drivers are required to be in the NDR TeamSpeak server: teamspeak.newdimensionracing.com - Race Control messages will be broadcast to anyone in a channel in the Pit Wall in TS.
If you would like a subchannel for your team or friendly drivers, please let us know and we will create one.
Make sure you have your race number is in your nickname on TeamSpeak, preferably at the start
2. Driver Naming
Be sure to be in your proper name format Number, [space], first initial, dot, last name [eg. 72 J.Provost].
The car number must be in white. Your name may be in colour.
3. Practice Starts
Drivers are permitted to take practice starts at the location notified in each round’s drivers briefing, any time the pit exit is open during free practice and qualifying. Drivers taking practice starts should wait for a clear path to take their practice start. Cars in the exit lane have right of way over cars preparing for a practice start.
4. Virtual Safety Car Test
Should time permit, there will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting approximately 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.
5. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying 1 will be a 10-minute session. Drivers are allowed a maximum of 2 hot laps and a maximum of 2 pit exits. Drivers can do their hot laps back-to-back. Once either 2 laps or 2 pit exits have been completed, that drivers qualifying is over. Telepit is allowed during qualifying 1.
Qualifying Duels
Top 8 drivers from qualifying 1 will be paired into groups of 2. Groups will be called into pit lane by the race director. Once released, groups will complete a out lap and one hot lap. After each driver completes their hot lap, they are to spectate.
Each group winner will advance to the semi-finals where the process repeats. This repeats down to the final with the final 2 drivers.
6. Race Start
Each race will have a grid presentation after the lights turn green. Once this presentation is finished, the start procedure will begin with the 5 second signal. Drivers are reminded to ensure their cars ‘ignition’ is on before the 5 second signal. (If the dash is illuminated, or the virtual gauges are displayed on screen, the ‘ignition’ is on)
An insim head-up display will appear, with five darkened lights. After 5 seconds, each light will illuminate red at one second intervals. After a pause of between 3 and 7 seconds, the lights will extinguish, and the race will be started.
7. Safety Car
If the safety car is deployed, bunch up quickly but safely behind the safety car.
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field at a point notified in that round’s drivers briefing (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.
8. Virtual Safety Car
Drivers will get advanced warning of a VSC deployment, followed by a 5 second countdown.
That 5 second countdown is there to allow all drivers to observe their surrounds and slow down to VSC speed. Drivers must be AT or below VSC speed when ‘Virtual Safety Car Deployed’ is displayed on their screens. Local flags must be adhered to during the 5 second countdown.
9. Additional Laps Following SC/VSC
If the safety car or virtual safety car is deployed in a race, additional laps may be added using the following formulas:
First 2 laps under safety car, 1 additional lap.
For each additional lap under safety car +1 lap.
E.g. 4 Laps of SC = 3 additional laps
This formula will be used for each separate SC occurrence in its entirety. e.g. First SC 4 laps (3 laps added), second SC 5 laps (4 laps added), total of 7 laps added.
2 minutes of VSC = 1 additional lap.
Unlike usual safety car, this will accumulate across all VSC periods. E.g. VSC1 1 minute, nothing added, VSC2 2 minute, total of 3 mins under VSC = 2 laps added.
No extra laps will be added if the Safety Car/Virtual Safety Car is deployed within the last 5 laps of the race.
10. Weather:
Dynamic weather will be used in all sessions.
When track conditions state 'WET', only 'road' tires are permitted.
If the weather changes, all drivers not equipped with the permitted tyre compound must pit at the end of lap they are currently on, unless they are between the 'weather commit line' (triple blue line) and the finish line – in that case the rule must be met at the end of the following lap. This line is marked 'weather commit line' on the track map for each round.
Please see Scawen’s suggestion relating to key binds here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/2086874#post2086874
11. Attack Mode:
During each reach, each driver is required to use ‘Attack Mode’ a set number of times as stated below. This is both a minimum AND maximum number of activations, all must be taken by all drivers.
Sprint Race, 1 mandatory activation.
Feature Race, 2 mandatory activations.
The requirements above do not change regardless of the track/weather conditions
Attack mode will be disabled on the first two laps completed by the race leader.
It may NOT be activated during SC or VSC conditions.
If a SC or VSC is deployed during a driver’s activation, the timer will not be stopped on said activation.
Attack mode can be used during free practice but is disabled during all qualifying sessions.
12. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to parc ferme which will be notified in the round’s drivers briefing. The top 3 shall report to the podium.
Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.
13. Broadcast
All races will be broadcasted by Sim Broadcasts: https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts
They will be in the NDR TeamSpeak. You are invited to be interviewed on stream during the breaks between sessions. Please follow their terms listed at https://simbroadcasts.tv/voice - we will apply those to our Commentary Box area.
14. Miscellany:
Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S from on course during the race without authorization from Race Control.
You do NOT need permission to retire once you are in the pit lane.
Use @sc to alert administration to look at your car or the section of track you were in when you use the @sc command. The command will tell the administration what location you're at.
If you suffer a lost connection or timeout from the server during the race, you are not permitted to rejoin the race.
Stop & Go penalties may ONLY be taken from the penalty box located at the location noted in the round’s drivers briefing.
15. Confirmation
All drivers are to reply in this thread in the format below to confirm they have read and understood the information in this post.
Use this format:
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
Good luck!
You are correct, there is no speed limit under safety car but as you say, it is up to each driver to drive in a safe manner, with no overtaking unless instructed to do so.
For VSC in E-Challenge our default will usually be 80kph to coincide with the pit limit.
You are correct that each driver MUST activate the attack boost X times per race.
However, we will be issuing Rev 2 of the rules shortly to the following effect
Sprint race you MUST activate 1 time
Feature race you MUST activate 2 times
Yes, even if wet, the correct number of activations per race must be met. Previously I believe it was a limitation of the tire compound and the way they interacted with the bumps of the old attack zone. We wont have the same limitation this time. Maikl can correct me if I am wrong on that part.
While we are working on Rev 2, we will review the wording of that section to help clarification of them.
Hope this helps.
Fixed, Thanks
