Quote from TG44 :

I think i'm dropping out of this one... i've played for 30mins now and i havent finished one single flying lap... so never two laps in a row.

1/7 chance for me to flip in the first chicane.
1/10 chance to flip in the chicane after the uphill
1/5 chance to NOT flip in the turn after the downhill... (you can't even touch the kerb on that one)

and now... i'm more pissed than in the last race when i span...

dont give up! look a few post above, i have posted a replay of me driving this combo. take a close look and watch my line!
For the second and third problem there is a easy solution, there just no need to touch the curbs... there must be something wrong with ur line.
For the chicane problem, well there are two solutions:
First watch my line i drive, full contact on the curbs to the left and as less contact as possible to the following curbs to the right and with a little luck your trough flat out. but this will flip u a lot.
Second and the safe solution let off the throttle a bit and take the same line as above just without hitting the curbs to left.
And finally as we have seen today the chance of getting flipped in the chicane is for everyone the same when going flat out. So everyone will hopefully try to get trough safe(slower) there in the race.
So if you can drive a steady pace of lets say 1:21-1:22 youre fast enough to fight for the top five.

I'm taking the chicane flat out, once you get the turn-in timing right for the chicane, its easy to get trough at full speed. I have a exit speed of about 150-160 km/h depends on how clean i hit the chicane.
So far my pb in xf-jr is 1:19.65, btw jatko did u already beat that?
For the uf-br my pb is 20.34 so it is from my point of view a littlebit slower around this course.
For everyone who doesnt know the racing line and/or braking/turn-in points, i have attached a replay of one of my training sessions. best time i do here is 19.94. You can watch it in slow motion to see exactly which line i'm taking, where i brake etc...
The setup i used u can get if u come to one of the training sessions.
Evening

Edit: Did a new pb 1:19.24. Replay is attached. Watch Lap 4

Current order that I've seen:
Me and JO53PHS: low 1.20s
Dougie and EveningStar: mid to high 1.20s

That'll be quali pace. Pole will be sub 1.20.
Fastest lap in race will be mid to lowish 1.20s.

I have worked on a set for the xf-jr last night which made a laptime of 1:19.94, but i'm sure there 3-4 tenths more to get replay is attached, its the 5th lap... The chicane after start/finish is pretty hard to drive and i would recommend taking it only flat-out in qualy.

Today i will work on a set for the uf-br, but i think its not as fast as the xf-jr but maybe it will handle the tyrewear better.

Quote from evilpimp :

So the 5 spot grid penalty will not be applied?

i did understand it like if you already have a higher penalty than this then it will not be applied, so for you it means 5 places back next time

Quote from Technique :

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Zyr6VDaaWJE

wow thats unbelieveable that this guy did that for real and that the stewards didnt blackflag him is just even more unbelieveable. That was completly stupid. At the formation lap nearlly no one concentrates on what up on behind them, much too busy whats up to the front, getting tyres,brakes warm,etc... When he was driving in the middle of the two rows just one of this guys needed to think: good place to warm up the tyres a little, dont look back because he hasnt to und starts waving around just a little more like the guys who did it, there you go fatal crash
Even if it wasnt his fault he should never ever have done that!

Quote from evilpimp :

=/ I dnt think I'd ever quit simply because of idiots who didnt take the time to read the rules. I'd wait till they come near me and make them regret they ever damaged my car. (A simple PIT manuver does the trick :P).

Yeah you would to that... but im a little bit more calm then you
Also this isnt what a racer would do

no worry i will be around and watch you winning

hopefully the link works, I've never used this file share thing before.

worked great needed only 10 secs for download

Quote from TAYLOR-MANIA :

Yeah I thought as much. Just checking because what confused me is that I don't how the guys far behind the leader know exactly when he accelerates. Sure they see the green flag but they can't tell when to step on it. Heh, well I can't!

Its a bit confusing for the ones at the end of the field and i have never seen a rule like this in real racing
Normally you cleared to pass as soon the leader crosses the start/finsish line. So its absolute clear when to overtake.

Quote from TAYLOR-MANIA :

Can you just clarify this for me please...

After the safety car is in the pits & the Green Flag message appears when exactly is overtaking permitted?

Is it as soon as the Green Flag RCM is displayed?
Is it the moment when the leader crosses the start/finish line?
Or are you allowed to overtake the car infront as soon as it has crossed the line?

It would appear that it is the first one...infact I'm almost positive it is, but I just want to check...

From the rules:
8. When the SC enters the pitlane, Race Control will display a message saying, “Safety Car In Pits” to indicate that it is off the track. At this point, the RCM will change to “GREEN FLAG” and the leader is free to restart. Once the RCM message changes and the leader begins to accelerate, overtaking is permitted. Until then, it is forbidden.

So as soon the leader puts its foot down you are cleared to pass.

Quote from niall09 :

Anyway, was nice watching you race out there EveningStar, you did everything correctly and maturely.

Thank you for that... For me racing is all about paying respect to the others and knowing your abilities these are the two things which define a good racer for me.

Im really very sorry about that what happend in the series. I would love it to see some respectful racing (Its the close racing, over many laps, WITHOUT contact), if the league gets somehow renewed i would be glad if i could help someway, maybe you need a sc driver who only concentrates on driving... or something else. I have also a lot if improvement suggestions so if you want to hear them just let me know

I really was looking forward to this cup, and thought it would be a nice calm enviroment were it would be possible to have some proper racing. I also trained a lot for the 2 events i took part and of course i did improve. I took it really serious and thought so would the others.

Today i saw how much you really care about racing other human people... You pay absolutely no respect to eachother, you dont even care about reading the rules for the cup... I mean safety car was out and someone didnt pay attention and rushed to the front(which is a absolute do not under sc), on the way there he damaged several cars including the leaders one. Under real life conditions this player would have been blackflaged immediatly. This was one of the guys who never was on free practice session and came to late to the qualifing. i mean what is he thinking of? Im god, or something?

But its not only this one incidient... Its just how unrespectful people are, like they park on the track while others are practicing or are drifting trough the pits, they are not paying attention to the Race Control, honking wildly randomly around. Thats just not proper racing, or have seen some real racing where after a practice session someone instead of going back to pits is driving in the wrong way crashing all the other and just means thats alright because practice is over .
There areeven guys who dont show up to any practice session then come to qualy and beg for a setup from the fastest guy around, come on, this is a competition, the others are working hard for their sets... and even if you hand one over to them they do not even say thx or something. This reminds more to the demo servers than to beginner league.

So i hope you have a good time but without me i dont wanna be part of this little kindergarden anymore.
There were also some nice and friendly guys out there like MistaTea, Hammond, CaptainSlow, Dekojester, Hyntty (if i forgot someone,sorry!) and of course the people from DR which all took it serious. I wish you all the best and thank you for racing. I hope you can get the others to grow up!

13.00 pm or am?

please think about it one more time

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

I'm 7 seconds slower a lap than the leader (atm, gap could increase). He will make say 2 pitstops, each should last about 25 seconds for 4 tyres and a dab of fuel. Thats 50 seconds gained by me. However, over a 12 lap race, I lose 84 seconds (7*12), without any pitstop. So, he can have 3 pitstops and still beat me confortably...

This strategy means that it's probably better in the long run to drive hard all the time and make 2 - 3 pitstops...

He only needs to do ONE pitstopp ... if you mean MisterTea

Quote from Soeren Scharf :

We are very sorry for this. [DR] Server 1 seems to have problems, but you are free to use [DR] Server 2 for todays round. I have PM'd Dekojester with the admin pass to this server.

Sorry again

Niall

Sounds good!! No need to be sorry, if theres a solution for the problem
Thank you for sponsoring us with a server!

Quote from dekojester :

My thinking would be postponed till after the "final" round

that would be a shame....
i hope the server comes back in time

Quote from Marlbro :

The race is cursed I tell ya.
First my t'internet, now the server...what next? Oh won't somebody think of the children?

i guess the next would be that the server is back on but the road is so slippery that we cant move at all or maybe lfs has no more fuel for our cars ....

Quote from Marlbro :

I TOLD YOU...I TOLD YOU...

The t'internet is broke...all I did was leave it for 2 minutes. It won't happen again

For me it says our server isnt online anymore
Lost connection while fp3 and cant connect anymore?
Is the server down?
Please help!!

Quote from Soeren Scharf :

I would need to send you a slighly modified version. How urgent do you need this?

Hello Soeren!
First, Thank you for this great program, its really great for watching races
But i also would like to use it as an automatic camera man for my movies so it would be nice to get a version without the buttons... esspecially in qualy sessions they say some wierd things...

Wäre echt nett von dir!

Edit: Ive also tried the older version (0.1) but it said first byte in packet doesnt match

please add to the result that i did a pitstop, i had to refuel only 2 % because it was 12 lap race... my fault but please add that i had to do a pitstop... makes things look much better for me

If youre in the need of a sc driver then i would do it
