I'm sorry, I'm withdrawing the season. I've been thinking about it for some time and this is the best solution atm. Good luck to all in the rest of the season!

I sayd I can't do all the rounds because of my real life sport activities. I'm out from that reason for 2 upcoming rounds (10. and 17. Dec).

I can't believe it! We've finished the race (gt300) without any problems!:throwrose

EDIT: Congrats to the winners of both the classes.

Sorry for disconnecting but this had no sence for me. I was joining the server in the last minute, a few moments after my arrival home. Ok, I had no practice so I sucked in the q but I hoped in a good race. Unfortunatelly someone crashed into me in t2 and damaged the suspension, it was sliding like hell. It was pointless to struggle on the track, I'll join you next round.

Hopefully I can make it, I have a match before the race.

It was pretty unlucky for me yesterday. I had no time for practice (it wasn't a big problem actually) but I was able to do a pb after a few laps on an unknown hotlap setup. That set was simply bad, didn't suit me well. I always make my own sets but I really had no time => 7th on the grid. I had an excellent start of the race, shifted from 7th to 3rd. My set was good, it was my own I've created some time ago and done a long distance with it. Isaac and Joe in front of me were faster, I had no chance to catch them. I didn't test my set with a long distance fuel and it wasn't perfect really. I knew a small arb adjustment would've fix it but it was my mistake I didn't test it before the race. I was safely 3rd untill the lap 15th or so when I time-outed. I noticed the lights on a switch on my table faded to black. After that I turned on the light in my room and noticed the cable is unpluged. Looked down under the table and that cable was tangled around my throttle pedal. Stupid cables. :banghead:

Thank you (Cornys and co.) for organising the championship, I really enjoyed the races I was in.

#77

It looks good, I like it. Some time ago I was organising a tbo cup and was running succesfully with 4% intake restriction for fxo and no res. for xrt. I spent lots of time testing it and it was pretty close like that. This is not my business but I guess fxo will be faster if there will be only 3% difference (look at tbowc at realistic nascar - running on 5% fxo, 1% xrt and it seems to be pretty ballanced - except off sbb. He is crazy, you can't take him into account).

It looks pretty good but, I'd like to sign up but it is impossible to do all the races for me. Race day schedule is ok, I usually have no time on saturday's evenings but 4 of 8 races collide with my table tennis competition schedule. So I'm asking - could I sign up for this if I know I can do only 50% of the races?

I'm a noob. I always get some damage in a good looking race. My position on the grid was 2nd, I did a pretty good lap, better than expected. I started better than Elton in fron of me, I thought I'll pass him in t1 but we collided (dunno if it was him but he was the closest one). I returned back on the track on 9th position and had to fight my position back. I was really fast, had a good feeling from the car. I mentioned I have some damage from the collision in t1 but it was still looking good. I was able to get on 2nd place and gain some gap after a great fight with Andro. Unluckilly for me, tyres started getting cold and after that I felt what this damage means. In the 1st half of the race, when tyres were hot, it was more about clean driving and keep the tyres at good temps. I feel strong in that. But when the tyres were colder, I mentioned I can't go faster because I had not enough grip on the right rear tyre. Was sliding like hell, I was trying to push harder but when I needed to get maximum of the tyres, I was missing more camber. I'm really stupid, another good race and another stupid damage. Andro was faster at the end and he was very close. He already passed me once but I was able to get my position back. After that I was keeping 2nd untill the final lap, when he got very close and passed me after a hit to my left side. But he's a fair play driver, he allowed to gain my position back. It was a great race, congratulations to the winner and to all who finished succesfully.

EDIT: mistakes corrected

However we are trying to squeeze everything in by 8pm UTC (20:00), which is 10pm UTC+2. That's the time that was our "limit" for Sunday. Don't want people dropping out due to school or work the next morning.

So it would look something like this (All times UTC):

17:00: Qualifying race (approx 30 min)
17:30: Q race done, break to determine who made it in, and to get ready for official qualifying.
17:40: 2 servers for Q (one for GT500, one for GT300). 20 minutes, non-hardcore.
18:00: Done with Q, all rejoin back to server 1.
18:10: Grid
18:15: Main Race (approx 90 min)
19:45: All done

I wouldn't mind moving the races to Sundays (it would avoid the conflicts with the Nations World Cup, for one thing), but I'd like to hear from more interested drivers what they think of the idea.

I'm a long time lfs enthusiast but saturday is the worst day for racing for me. I love cup racing in every form but it is really bad for a man like me to spend a saturday's night this way. Family, social life... Ok, time to time I sacrifice a saturday's evening for lfs (GT2 world series atm) but I simply can't do that more.
A few years ago when the 1st czech lfs league was alive, races took part always on monday because of "the weekend problem". 90 mins race isn't so long, if it ends around midnight I have no problems to get up next morning and go to work. I understand if saturday is chosen in case of long races but this is not somehow long really.
Do what you want anyway, I've just posted this because DWB wanted to hear more opinions.

I suggest this (see layout attached).

Sorry for OT but will you change something on the KY32 layout or you wanna keep it how it is atm? I miss some distance boards in corners, especially before the hairpin at the KY2 pits. Additionally something to highlight the apex there would be helpfull too. Plus maybe some distance boards in the 2nd new corner before the oval section. The rest is ok.

It was a good race today, I was enjoying it. The only problem for me was T1. Someone hit my back and the result of this was reduced camber on the most importatnt rear right tyre. It was good in slow corners but I was loosing grip in fast ones. My pace in training was faster... I was dissapointing to watch the cars behind me closing especially in 4th gear corners but I couldnť go faster. I'm sure I could fight for the victory or at least stay safe on the podium but it is racing, damage happens. On the other hand fights were really nice. P4 is good after all but I'll be aiming higher next time (and hopefully I'll avoid any damage like today). Congrats to Niki and sbb, you had a great pace both!

Unlucky race for us, we had a good pace all the time. I just checked replay, my collision with K. Kerekes on lap 20 seemed weird from my car. I thought I'll pass by on the left but suddenly he moved backwards directly into me. I really donť understand that move, he just shifted to the reverse and crossed my way. I'm sure he didn't do that intentionally but don't do something like this again in a traffic, it is very dangerous and it violates the rules ímo.

Is it still possible to join as a reserve?

Well, the admins will be there, and I hope the teams will as well.

I know CoRe's cars will be, and Sirius as well (scipy would drive if he were the only guy on the track).

We also just got a new team application, so that's an encouraging sign.

Ok. The point of my previous post was to find out what happens, I'm glad you wanna keep it running. What if there'll be less than 10 confirmed cars in both classes together? It's just a theoretical question, hopefully it won't happen.

I'm asking myself "shall I prepare setups for FE4 at all?" It is really not good to see only 12 cars on track in moe. It's worse and worse, I'm not sure how many teams will drive next time if this descending tendency continues.

Don't believe him, this is the right one.

That's fixed now. I think it removed you when I added someone else with the same number.

Thanks.

Please choose a number between 02-99.

All (complete) driver details are updated now. Those who are still missing have received a pm. If there is anything wrong with the current profiles let me know

No pm for me and I'm missing in the driver list too. Is it a driver number problem or something else?
