Not sure, kind a depends on you guys, do you still want to race? At first i thought that no but than again, 8 is better than no league at all.

[three_jump]

count me in :)

[danowat]

I'll be there no matter how many people turn up :)

Dan.

RichardTorp is there, too heh ? :D

Hope he drives the UFR, so I can overrun him on the oval at ky national :D:D

greetings,dom

[Ragamuffi]

I'm new in LFS since August, i'm learning in LFS-Spain.net, and i like to take part on XFR/UFR league.
I don't write too much in the forum becouse my english is like a moron.

[danowat]

How are you going to announce the server and password for tonight?......

Dan.

[kalle]

How are you going to announce the server and password for tonight?......
Via email so check your inboxes all :) if you haven't received any emails, pm me.

[danowat]

Roger that, just got it 5 mins ago, see y'all tonight ;), I guess I'll be in the minority as I am driving UFR, maybe not the best choice for Kyoto, but its all good :).

Dan.

[Fordman]

Good Luck all tonight. I was going to sign up last night, then I got a swift :slap: from Mrs Fordie reminding me that we are out tonight.


Regards

Fordie

[Richard Torp]

greetings,dom


Hehe....i think ill race the XFR... :D
But i need at setup tonight, never driven in XFR on Kyoto and dont have any time to make one or practise..

Cu there... :)

[bo-kristiansen]

I've desided NOT to practice for this evenings race either. :razz:
...just see what happens.

[danowat]

Had a few laps last night with Three Jump and some of the T7R boys, needless to say the UFR struggles BADLY against the XFR on that track :nod: , still, could be a case of tortoise vs hare again ;)

Dan.

[Fordman]

Thats OK Dan, then you will be fully prepared when we visit it in the ESL Schedule :)

[-freak-]

Yes Baby, very nice event !!!! Was a nice race :)

[kalle]

Good race all :) and congrats to three_jump and -freak-

results are up http://members.surfeu.fi/pikkih/league/

[danowat]

Yep, very enjoyable couple of races for me, although maybe it should have been called the XFR league ;).

Never the less, 6th in the sprint and 4th in the main race was a pretty decent result for the lowly UFR :), see you all next time :).

Looks like my times are pretty consistant, wonder if thats a good or bad thing...., also, just goes to show you how much faster the XFR is, well over 10kph faster on the top end :banghead:

Dan.

Dan.
Thats the reason you did so well. You didn't wondered on the sand and wasn't involved in any crashes. You were on your lever all the time :). I would say its a good thing.

btw people, you can still take part on this if you want.

[kidzer]

Right, i've signed up now. Missed race 1 though, can I still enter the rest of the races?

[-freak-]

btw people, you can still take part on this if you want.

:)

[Scoop]

i just signed up :) hope i'll be admited in the next race

[AndyB]

Sorry I saw this so late, just signed up, so missed the opening round.......

Big fan of the XFR, so this league has answered my prayers :)

Hope there's still room for more racers, I'll keep an eye on what's going on.

....nice homepage btw, :)

[kalle]

Hope there's still room for more racers, I'll keep an eye on what's going on.
There are still few places left :)

[Fordman]

I have just done over 1hr for ESL UK on this track. And well, its the last time I touch it :D

[colcob]

Ah come on Fordie, Westhill is an ace track for the UFR :)

I'll buy a pint for everyone who can take T1 without lifting off.

[Fordman]

:ices_rofl Yer OK

In UF1 Maybe

[three_jump]

I'll buy a pint for everyone who can take T1 without lifting off.

Are you at the LFS meeting in october? :D

[colcob]

Nah, cant make it I'm afriad.

[AndyB]

Maybe, on the first lap, from a standing start ;)

[danowat]

Ah come on Fordie, Westhill is an ace track for the UFR :)

I'll buy a pint for everyone who can take T1 without lifting off.

Yeah, I am looking forward to Thursday now..................or NOT maybe :banghead:

Dan.

[bo-kristiansen]

where can I get the beer?

:nana:

[AndyB]

I know I'll find out soon enough, but just wondering what kinda lap times people are running at the Westhill International track?

Should be a lot of fun in these cars, and drafting/slipstreaming (depending how much time you've spent in NASCAR ;)) is gonna be the key I guess...... Also, with all the sweeping corners, it's gonna eat tyres, so think I'm gonna have to work on that a bit.....

AB

[kalle]

A quick look at the LFS World and it seems that people are doing 1:46.xx-1:50.xx times. Most of them bit under the 1:50 margin like mine.

I'm really worried about my tyres aswell. And like that's not enough, the walls are awfully close there too :scared:

Kalle, R3's will last in the sprint race, but you need to be conservative on them, no locks ups.

Feature race, you may need to adjust your pit stratergy a little, like changing tyres that are, say 35% waisted. and refuel to last.

I am only saying this ( due to UFR experience ) but Westy does play havoc on our tyres :)

Three Jump is being an Uber Alien at Westhill ;) Hope this helps


GO T7R :D

[Scoop]

HEEEELPP!!!!!!!!!!! Pls i can't open the e-mail with server info duno mainly yahoo prob, could someone e-mail me the info to Scoop_quattro@hotmail.com or pm on mirc i'm on the #liveforspeed chanel on gamesurge PLS!!!!! :(

[danowat]

I havent recieved any info for tonights race yet, unless it is the same as last week.

Kalle, yeah, its a tough track, forget Hotlaps, on this track with a few racers hotlaps dont really mean to much.

As Fordie says, R3's will be fine, but it is true about pit strategy, I lost a lot of places on Mondays ESL UK league due to my poor pit strategy.

See you tonight ;)

Dan.

[three_jump]

The password and the server are same in all four race days unless otherwise said. The server will open about 10-15 mins before the qualify start time (20:00CEST). Be there atleast couple minutes before because the qualifying starts precisely at 20:00CEST.

Another thing: I haven't seen anyone this week doing some laps at westhill, it would be nice to have something like a trainings server or so, or lets say a time where we could meet and practice.

3j

[danowat]

Dumb aint I........

I think I got all the pratice I need the other night :bigeye:

Dan.

[bo-kristiansen]

I've been practicing KY GP the last 3 days for the Endurance League, but today
I'll be on Westhill for sure. See u for some practice soon. :)

[AndyB]

I'll keep an eye out on the server list, only beeb able to do offline practise so far, but I'll be aronud a bit today, so if I see Westhill up , I'll join........

Can I just check that 20:00 CEST is 19:00 UK ??

[Scoop]

i didn't participate in last week's race so pls some one help me

[Richard Torp]

Is that track hard on the tyres? Hmmm...no time for practise..must see if i can find a su somewhere..

Im happy the race is on West...i really hate the Kyoto Nat....raced that track last thursday and in ESCC last tuesday..and i cant drive on that track in any cars... :scratchch

[danowat]

Is that track hard on the tyres?

I dont know about the XFR, but its a killer on tyres in the UFR.

Dan.

[kalle]

@AndyB
Yep, it's 7pm UK

@Scoop
Check your pm's

[Scoop]

yatzy yahoo working again :)
cya all on track for a fun race and for the love of turbo's take care in T1 u don't win a race by being first in T1 u know what they say, "To be 1st u must first finish" :thumb:

[kidzer]

9th in race 1, dnf race 2 - my wheel lost calibtation every lap almost - had to swerve violetly left/right to keep it up - eventually I made a mistake and sailed into the wall :(

[Scoop]

Super race, sorry for u kidzer, Kalle thanx for the close racing, i'll see u on as nat :D who shall win the battle there :trampolin

[AndyB]

Great racing, great to get a taste of LFS S2 in an organised league (NR2003 background here).....

Qualified 5th, finished Race 1 in 5th, and race 2 in,....er....you guessed it, 5th ;)

Good battles all night though, sorry if I got a bit 'wide' at the start of race 2, think we all held it together though........

Looking forward to next week.......

AB

[danowat]

Yep, good races, I actually enjoyed Westhill which was a novelty ;). a 3rd and a 4th wasnt a bad result.

Thanks to Kalle for organising and hosting.

Well done to 3J for winning........again.....;)

Dan.

[three_jump]

- thx to kalle and n1Racing for doing this league, very nice racing :)

- thx to all drivers for letting me win qual, sprint and main race :D (next time I'll try to make it a bit more close.... :trampolin)

3j

[AndyB]

....think I held you off for half a lap :)

[bo-kristiansen]

great fun :) yep.. nice league, Kalle.

XF GTR is a bitch on Westhill :schwitz:

- I forgot all about the time on the practice server,
so I missed 4 min of the qualifi.
- And I wrecked my car in th sprint.
- Buuuuuut whee heee.... In the main race I started last and ended
in 4th place. :)

(mostly because drivers in front of me suddenly decided to cut some grass,
and checking out how hard the barriers REALLY were) :hyper:

[AndyB]

...another one from tonights race....

[-freak-]

Nice pics, both with my car on :D :)

Uuppppsssss if it does im out!!... :pillepall I choosed the UFR this time... :schwitz: Feel free to punish me... :)
Sorry guys.. :(
But the UFR is way slower than the XFR...so i dont think i gained much...but the Admin must solve my change and give me a penalty...

;) woops :doh: , like you say, you maybe didnt get much of an advantage, but rules is rules :)

way slower?, not really, 1 second a lap slower isnt bad for a car that is way down on power and 15 kph slower on the straight ;)

Dan.

[Richard Torp]

but rules is rules :)


Dan.

Yeah Dan rules is rules and i`ll always obey them, but i didn`t even had it in my mind..totally forgot about the fixed car situation..im deeply sorry, but as i wrote i must get some sort of a penalty. Fair racing for all and same rules for all... :thumb:

I think i forgot about it because im driving in ESCC and there we have had 2 races with the UFR/XFR and in these two races we could choose what ever car we would like...

But again sorry... :schwitz:

Feel lucky m8 that i forgot about the fixed car situation, otherwise i would have kicked your butt.... :D :thumb:

I personally wouldnt say that any penalty needs to be applied, but its not my league, as you say it was a mistake and you didnt gain any advantage.

I just wanted to make sure this rule still applied or had been waived, otherwise I might try XFR on some tracks ;).

Dan.

So no hardfellings against you Dan i think its great that you reacted to it.. :) Its better to discover it now than after all the races :thumb:

Cu next thursday in XFR...i guess.. :D

[kalle]

Thanks Dan for noticing that, I didn't. Like said its not a bad violation since he changed the car to slower one, btw Richard you know that you should try to go faster and not the opposite ;) :D but it is against the rules. So here's the penalty: to his Sprint Race total time has been added +10 secs and to his Main Race total time +30 secs.

Thx Kalle....VERY NICE INDEED...WHY SUCH A PENALTY? Ahhh ok, i asked for it... :thumb: :D :nana:

I accept it and think its fair... :)

[Richard Torp]

Man, I feel bad for mentioning it now LOL.

Dan.

There MUST be penaltys in cases like this..so no problem... :)

[mepresident]

So...

do you guys think there is still space in the league for me?

[kalle]

So...

do you guys think there is still space in the league for me?
Yes there are. Still few free places left.

Sorry, can't be there today ! Have to drive a real car to get a driving license, if you know what I mean ;)

Good luck to all others !

[AndyB]

Good luck fella, probably wanna set the car up a little softer, and try not get too sideways on the roundabouts.......

[mepresident]

[bo-kristiansen]

I didnt get the mail. :Looking_a

[Scoop]

[mepresident]

I still dont know about the server and pass mates

[Scoop]

Great race once again guys :thumb:

[Ze_Pistolas]

Here you go Pistolas http://members.surfeu.fi/pikkih/league/signup.htm:)thx ;)

[Ragamuffi]

I'm Bad Luckyman. :(
In the first lap i go to eat some grass, because Scoop had lag and i try to dodge a blow with him; and the worst! i make all the race with the brake something push, the pedal don't free completely.
Next time hope for better luck :)

[AndyB]

darn, sorry I couldn't make it tonight :( Hope you fellas had a good night, I'll try and get the final race next week.

How's things looking with this little league, any chance it may develop into something longer-term?

[danowat]

Good races last night, marred by some pretty hefty lag, not sure why :(.
Still a reasonable result, got hit twice on the first race by lag, had some excellent close racing and position swapping with Kalle, and Stocky on both races :).
As for a longer term, I would be well up for that, there is some very nice, close and friendly racing to be had.
Also, I would like to extend my thanks to T7R for loaning as the server for last night ;)

Dan.

[-freak-]

Hey, I'm still second, nice !! :)

I think I like this league -hehe

[Richard Torp]

Yeah great racing, but there was too much lag sometimes...it prevent us to race close all the time. We had some great close fights, Scotty, 3j and me....but it ended bad for me and Scotty because we had a hard hit caused by lag.
If you need a lag free server with a max of 16 drivers...we can use mine... :thumb:

But Aston National and UFR/XFR are a very good combination...

Dominik...why didn`t you show up?... :smileypul

[kalle]

Good races last night, marred by some pretty hefty lag, not sure why. That was a pity that there was lag :( but next week's race should be on a good stable server again, still thanks to T7R guys for their server and Ace too for the first two rounds :)

How's things looking with this little league, any chance it may develop into something longer-term? Maybe. The biggest thing that I have no server to use after the next race, if that solves than season 2 is a possibility.

[-freak-]

Hey, you can have one server of ours for the league !! You have only to say when the server is used. I think it's no problem for our team ;)

[kidzer]

Sorry about last night, I solved my FPS problem now though - my CPU had underclocked itself to 1.1Ghz instead of its usual overclocked 1.7Ghz (from an XP1700+ 1.46Ghz at stock, a fine boost)

[Richard Torp]

Dominik...sorry cant read... :schwitz: :smileypul :D

[three_jump]

Gonna have to miss tomorrow's race, my net connection is having issues, unlikley to be fixed by tomorrow.

Is there any room for a little guy to squeeze in for the last race? I know its the last race of the season.

POSSIBLE RULE CHANGES

-Main Race lenght is set to 45 minutes (5mins longer)
-No mandatory pitstop in Main Race

>gives more freedom for your race strategy -go slower and don't do a pitstop or vice versa


What you all think? I want to hear your suggestions. Should some track be dumped or replaced to some another one, two or three week break between this season and the next one (first race 27th October or 3rd November), rule changes?

But still one race to go in this season, will 3J continue the domination, who takes the 2nd spot in the championship :)

[Fordman]

I would hate to see the Mandatory pitstop dropped, as this always adds that little unexpected excitment in to a race.

Maybe do what the DTM is now doing, have 2 mandatory pitstops :smileypul

How about adding 1 more round, keep it nice and even numbers :) and add a FE track, Green / gold on the end.

Apart from that, looks like an Exciting Season 2

Fordie

[danowat]

Well, I am VERY happy that there will be a continuationj of this league, I have enjoyed it very much, will be nice to see Fordie in the last race, as long as he wont use the damn XFR :mad:.

Tracks look good to me,as Fordie says the addition of FE would be a bonus, not sure why you would want to extend the main race, I thought 40 mins was good.

I would say that the removal of the mandatory pit is a bad thing, having a pit means its not ALL just about racing, but the pit is there to mix it up a bit, my opinion, keep the pit.

Apart from that I look forward to season 2, and also look forward to maintaining my 3rd place spot after the final race :), see you all on Thursday night ;).

yes... I would suggest a FE Green too. - could be fun as the end race.

- besides that, the 2. season calender is looking great, Kalle. :thumb:

How about:

WETL - World Electronic Touring League
UXRL - (short for XFR / UFR) Racing League?

I would say that the removal of the mandatory pit is a bad thing, having a pit means its not ALL just about racing, but the pit is there to mix it up a bit, my opinion, keep the pit. Better explain what I was after there. The reason for the 5 mins addition > 2-3 laps more > riskier to finish the race without doing any stop with the same setup as people used this season. Damn I explained it so much better to Dan earlier, now I don't find the right words :D but I guess you get the idea. This is based to my experience with XFR, my setups and races. So it would be quite likely that people still do pitstops, but those wouldn't be forced ones.

Too bad i missed this league, but I really wanna join for the second season. Can I already sign up for it?

I heard how you drive, so yes, good one :razz:

[danowat]

From what I understood of my chat with Kalle about the pitstop is this.

As the main race is being extended by 5 mins, this will effectively "force" a pitstop anyway, because 45 mins on 1 set of tyres is very difficult, so there is more scope for strategy, sorta makes sense to me, although I would still prefer to see a mandatory stop ;).

So you are extending the race length so people will have to pit to change tyres, but they may run the risk of not changing tyres if they wish. Is that what you are saying?

Do you really want them to run the risk? What if, there caused an accident because of naff tyres due to not pitting as they "thought" they could do it:scratchch

[three_jump]

well, the race on aston national was the only one where you could race the whole distance with one set of front tires.....

I'm for extending the race to 45 mins and keep a mandatory pit.

and about the name: 3j's domination tour (3jdt) :D

Also, just another thing to throw into this, is it worth keeping it an XFR/UFR league?, I can imagine the turnout for next season for the UFR will be less than this season, heck we only had 2 UFR drivers in this season!!!, the UFR is just not a popular car, not to mention a HECK of a lot slower than the XFR.

I have signed up... Now what ??? I will race in UF GTR :lovies3d: :bounce8:

Do you really want them to run the risk? What if, there caused an accident because of naff tyres due to not pitting as they "thought" they could do it:scratchchNo, bad choice of words from me there. What I want is to give a choice for the drivers, lets say there are Mark and Joe compiting in the league. Mark decides to go in aggressive way and makes fast good setup where tyres last for 15 laps (in 20 laps race) so he drivers in his limits and does 1.46.xx laps in race and does a pitstop. But Joe feels that he's not that kind of drivers and he's in his best when he does constant lap times (high 1.47.xx) for a long period and he doesn't do mistakes. He makes his setup that way that he is bit slower and has harder tyres but he doesn't do pitstop. End results might be quite even with different strategies.

Also, just another thing to throw into this, is it worth keeping it an XFR/UFR league?, I can imagine the turnout for next season for the UFR will be less than this season, heck we only had 2 UFR drivers in this season!!!, the UFR is just not a popular car, not to mention a HECK of a lot slower than the XFR.Quite true.

Possible league names then :P
XFR Trophy
XRL (XFR Racing League)

No matter mate, I still claimed 2nd overall ;), and in the slower car too ;), I was never ever gonna catch the alien that is 3J, no doubt he will be a huge contender for 1st next season, although if its the same cars again I wont make the mistake of picking the slower car :).

Yeah, I think everyone enjoyed it, was a great season.

Dan.

I really have to say it;

maaan u are fast in that UFR :thumb:

[Stockmans]

Thx, keep in mind that the UFR is better in corners but it is slower on straights. I've lost a lot of time on the back straight of BL GP. And I have been tweaking my set for longer runs and it really paid off :)
