Demo racing league

[Leifde]

All the leagues on here seem to be for licensed players so I'm thinking of setting up a demo league.

I know the season wouldn't be very long as there's only 2 tracks (well, 4 including reverse ones) so there would have to be several races per track to make it worthwhile.

Reply if interested and hopefully we can get a league setup. :)

EDIT: League setup, please visit http://kalev99.googlepages.com/lfsdemoleague

[marsden1002]

i think this would be quite a good idea for demo races!

[Gabkicks]

only thing is... if you are gonna dedicate that much time to a game why not support the developers and buy the full version?:pillepall

[t_o_m1111]

Leifde, im interested in a endurance on the Demo server if your game i am. how bout it? reply if you are :):thumb:

[d6nn]

i'd be intrested

[Leifde]

I'm S2 licensed now but I am still willing to run this demo league if enough people are interested, PM me if you are.

[NelsonGPV]

Well the idea of having a Demo Race is to gather all those people who have not yet decide to by the full Version.
Put them on track and organize a small tournament with the only objetive to promote the sale of the full version.
Other wise it will be useless becuase all the races are not even counting in our records so for me it is like if I wouldn´t play.

I am sharing these with you guys becuase it is what we are doing in Mexico, and this is a good way to convince them to upgrade to S2 and play in our S2 Leagues.

Hi there! :)

I'm quite interested in racing in demo league. I plan to buy S2 license ASAP, but I'm not sure when it happens :( so taking part in event like you are discussing on here would make me very happy )))



loud YEEES! to official demo event :nod: :nod: :nod: :)

regards

[Scoop]

A demo series would be very good to show demo drivers what s2 is all about, and i think there are a few demo drivers who were in my situation without any way of paying for the game :), i managed to arrange something with a friend and such a series will determine them to try harder to find a way to pay for the game

[anttt69]

Count me in. :thumb:

When is it all happening?

[himself]

I would be very interested. However, i see there is nothing doing about it :shrug:

I know, not many demo drivers visit this forum so I think there should be some adverts on most popular and permanent demo servers. What do you think?

[faster111]

i'd be intrested in a demo league cause it seems that theres not lots of demo leagues about

[wheel4hummer]

Okay! I'm in! :scratchch

[Leifde]

Ok, I'm currently creating the website for this, it should be up within 3 weeks.

I have made a rough draft of the season.

Saturday 4th March - Blackwood GP Track - All cars - 15 laps
Saturday 1st April - Blackwood Rallycross - XFG - 2 races - 6 laps
Saturday 15th April - Blackwood Rallycross - XRG, XRT - 2 races - 6 laps
Saturday 6th May - Blackwood GP Track Reverse - XRG - 15 laps
Saturday 13th May - Blackwood GP Track Reverse - XFG, XRT - 15 laps
Saturday 10th June - Blackwood Rallycross Reverse - All cars - 2 races - 10 laps
Saturday 15th July - Blackwood GP Track - All cars - 2 races - 20 laps

Each car would be in a seperate class

XRT - GT1
XRG - GT2
XFG - GT3


There will also be an optional 4.5 hour endurance race sometime in september. The endurance race will not count towards the championship. It will be in the same format as the other races, all 3 cars on Blackwood GP for 4.5 hours. The winner will be the person who has covered the most amount of laps in that time. Due to it being an endurance a minimum of 2 drivers per car are required.

There will be a 30min qualifying session before each race.

[Xillian]

I've got tonnes of spare server capacity if you need a hand/want some servers for these demo leagues/cups

I think it is a ace idea, i had great fun on the demo servers (so much that i run 14 of my own in various setups) and it prompted me to purchase the S2 license a few days ago.

drop me a pm on here if you want to take up my offer.

[faster111]

someone with spear space for severs cool i think this is going be great

[Leifde]

I've had the idea of putting up a prize of an S2 license for the winner of the season. I cannot pay for this myself, my parents wouldn't let me so it would be dependent on donations. If you think this is a good idea and would like to help, please PM me.

This would create more licensed drivers (ok, 1 a year/half-year but..) and so I think it'd be a really good idea.

[faster111]

boy boy thats a BIg ten 4 i canrt wait

[Leifde]

Ok, an anonymous donator, has given the generous offer of buying the S2 license for the winner, so it is definately a prize. :D

yeee haaaa

[Pistta]

good idea , im interested about this thing ....but ill buy s2 m but its good for practising :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :) :) :tilt:

[Leifde]

The Demo League website is going to be based on the same code as my Karting League website and so as soon as I get that finished it's simply a case of changing text and stylesheets.

[faster111]

ok

[Mark_Raven]

I'm very happy that racers who have license think for racers don't have yet a license...
Only one thing...where the race will happen?(sorry about my english...:shrug: )

Thank you so much Leifde for your time!!!
See you on track...

[faster111]

ask the one who started the topic he have more info

[garph]

Faster, seriously! You got loads of people plus the developer asking you to use better grammar in your posts. Capitals and full stops at least please!

And by posting a question here, he is asking for more information from the person who started this topic.

[faster111]

Sorry how about this is it better.

[th84]

Best regards

P.S. i watched your site (www.lfs-noobs.org (http://www.lfs-noobs.org))... you are so funny... LOL

[th84]

:) thanks!!! im glad it gave you a laugh!! we are in the process of updating the site, so stay tuned for more :)

[Leifde]

I have made a rough draft of the season.

Saturday 4th March - Blackwood GP Track - 15 laps
Saturday 1st April - Blackwood Rallycross - 6 laps
Saturday 15th April - Blackwood Rallycross - 2 races - 6 laps
Saturday 6th May - Blackwood GP Track Reverse - 15 laps
Saturday 13th May - Blackwood GP Track Reverse - 15 laps
Saturday 10th June - Blackwood Rallycross Reverse - 2 races - 10 laps
Saturday 15th July - Blackwood GP Track - 2 races - 20 laps

There will also be an optional 4.5 hour endurance race sometime in september. The endurance race will not count towards the championship. It will be in the same format as the other races, all 3 cars on Blackwood GP for 4.5 hours. The winner will be the person who has covered the most amount of laps in that time. Due to it being an endurance a minimum of 2 drivers per car are required.I have decided the car will be the XF GTi to give everyone a fair chance (XRG & XRT can be hard to drive by keyboard).

8 of your races count towards your total score (there's 10 races) so it doesn't matter if you miss 2. Your 2 lowest scores will not count.

I will contact the person who has offered to buy the S2 license to see if they would be willing to donate a couple more for the endurance winners.

Endurance Rules
1.1 Each car must have two (2) drivers only.

1.2 Each car will have a number between 50 and 99 inclusive.
1.2a The numbers will be decided randomly.

1.3 For every car there will be a team consisting of the drivers of that car.
1.3a Each team member must have their name in the following format: {team_name}-{car_number}-racer_name
1.3b A team may have more than one (1) car but no more than two (2).

1.4 There is a limit of five (5) teams per server.
1.4a There will only be one server unless ten (10) teams sign up, in which case there will be two (2) servers.


Those rules are subject to change at any time.

We need to set a day for the races to take place on, please post your votes on here. Races cannot take place on Saturdays as this clashes with the Karting League.

My vote is for Sunday.

[faster111]

What about drivers how want to sign up but got no team hows the team bit work ? if you know what i mean

[Mark_Raven]

racing on sunday it's ok for me...
i just have one problem... i don't have a team... so... can i race alone or do i have to find someone to race with???
Thanx again for your time...:thumb:

i dont have any teams mates so mark want to team up

[th84]

i think that you will only need a teammate if you want to race in the endurance race! according to his posts, there will be a single driver challenge with the schedule above, then after that champion is crowned, there will be one endurance race also with 2 more winners to be crowned! i hope that helps, im sure there will be more information to come soon :)

demo racers, spread the word!!! lets get it filled up!! :)

if im wrong im sure danny will correct me!!!:)

[Leifde]

Yeh, sorry if I didn't make my post clear, you must be in a team for the endurance race, not the championship. :)

[Mark_Raven]

Yeh, sorry if I didn't make my post clear, you must be in a team for the endurance race, not the championship. :)

Ah... ok...
maybe i understand now...
If i want to race in the endurande i have to find a partner to race with... but i don't need a partner in the championship, so i can race by myself...
Ok... thank you so much...
Bye :thumb:

[wheel4hummer]

When is the first race? And, will everyone have their own skin, and then we could put everyones skins in a skin package so that we will be able to see eachothers skins? Since you can't see other skins in the demo unless you download them from your browser.

[Leifde]

Yeh, that's a good idea, I may provide a skin for everyone with their number and name on for the championship and provide every team a skin with their number on for the endurance.

PM me if you have a design you would like me to add to.

The first race will be sometime in March. :)

[faster111]

Can you post me the team skin when do because i got a skin on my car and number 10.

[BlakjeKaas]

I'm in! :D :smileypul

What about a Password on the races, so the REAL demo racers (also known as crashers) can't come in. :D :thumbsup:
Simple as that! :thumb:

p.s. Which people do I have to PM about it...?
can i get more info plz :D

[faster111]

pmLeifde for more info. tho its a good idea with a password so we have a good clean races

[th84]

im pretty sure the servers will be private so no crashers will be there!!

[Leifde]

Of course the servers will be password protected. :)

ATM no one needs to PM me, there will be a feature on the website to put in details and/or request a modified skin that you have.

[faster111]

ok thats good news

[BlakjeKaas]

Of course the servers will be password protected. :)

This website or....?

[th84]

he is working on a website for this league! im sure he will post here when its up and running!! if u have any more questions, im sure you can ask them here :)

[HeerBommel]

I would like to give it a try. Could be a lot of fun :tilt:.

[minimax]

If you a bit of help with running, I could help

[Mark_Raven]

Yeh, that's a good idea, I may provide a skin for everyone with their number and name on for the championship and provide every team a skin with their number on for the endurance.

PM me if you have a design you would like me to add to.

i just get a new weel.. so i'm ready for the championship...
i'm creating my skin, so when i finish it i'll post you with my race number...
Bye...:thumb:

[wheel4hummer]

I am starting work on my skin... Maybe the organizer could post 2048x2048 overlays which have our number, so we know where the number tag is going to be. I'll be #69

EDIT: Helmet skins too?

[Mark_Raven]

i'll be #82

[Leifde]

I can include helmet skins in the skin package but it is not necessary, I will get to work with making a .psd file with a layer for where the number will go.

[BlakjeKaas]

If you can choose a number I'll be #27 #17 or #14
depends on which one's free...

I hope i don't get last... My fastest lap: 1.35.63 :P
Would be a cool NON-crashing race (i hope)

EDIT: New PB
[less censor]1.34.63[/less censor] :P

[wheel4hummer]

Will we have a test&tune session before each race? Can someone setup a test&tune session this week?

[Leifde]

Hmm, is this Saturday alright with everyone?

Provisional first test: Saturday 25th February - 8:00pm GMT.

[faster111]

its ok with me

[HeerBommel]

Saterday is my day!

[Leifde]

Just a quick notice:

S2 licensed racers will not be allowed to win, they can race but not for points, if they interfere with the other racers (crashing into them) then they'll be banned from this league and any other league I run in the future.

[Miki_]

[Mark_Raven]

Hmm, is this Saturday alright with everyone?

[HeerBommel]

You did not even mention WHAT sunday. I think I cannot be there, but I am not sure about it. A lot of races are planned on sundays.

[wheel4hummer]

Any time between Friday at 8:00PM GMT and sunday at 8:00PM GMT works for me. Anyway, this is only the first practice. It's not at all nessasary!

[BlakjeKaas]

how long is the test.. cause, it's sunday... you know the day b4 monday
monday = school
sunday = day b4 school = busy with homework = not being racing at 8 PM...
so i wont be there...

[Leifde]

The server is up now, it is called "LFS Demo League".

The server will go password protected a few hours before each event and the password protection will be removed sometime after each event (the next day)

This practise isn't important, it just lets you get an idea of who you're up against, so you do not need to attend.

Just to clear things up the practise is scheduled for Sunday 26th February at 8pm GMT

I been on the demo sever you just put up and I think its a good server and its cool am ready for the events. I'll keep practicing on the server till the events Come on!


Bring on the events am ready:trophy_br

[tristancliffe]

When we comment on your language, the puntuation, spelling or general sense seems to last for about 2 posts. Then you go back to normal, as though your memory is that of a goldfish...
I shall highlight your sentence corrections with bold:

[faster111]

Just wondering hows the restart race work with this demo raceing league ? any rules:scratchch

[th84]

what do u mean?

[faster111]

Like of someone crash and votes to restart can they do it in a league?

[th84]

no, i dont think they will be able to do that in league races!

[wheel4hummer]

If you wreck, are you out of the race? :scratchch

[th84]

if your a wrecker.. then yes, but if your involved in a "racing inncident" then i would think not!!

[Mark_Raven]

i think that if all the racers will drive clean, there will not be crash...
Remember, there is NOT just the throttle, there are ALSO the brake...And there are many laps, not just one, so the racers should think that there will be many place where pass other racers...
I hope that this is clear for all the racers...not only in a league, but also in all the single race that they do. Sometime racers don't brake, crash and then ask to restart the race...do you think this is right? I don't think so...if i wrong... my fault, i go to the box to repair my car, i don't ask to restart the race; if another racer drive clean and don't have cresh... GOOD FOR HIM!!!
Think about this!!!:scratchch

[Leifde]

Taking into account keyboard drivers I'd say the average lap time of BLGP would be 1:34.

There will be 2 races, a sprint and a main race.

The sprint race will be 10 laps long with no forced pitstops. - around 15 mins
The main race will be 25 laps long with 1 forced pitstop. - around 39 mins

I would like to do the qualifying like A1GP (4 sessions, 1 lap each session) but we wouldn't have time for that and I would have to arrange the grid manually so there will be 20 mins qualifying before the event.

I will post a detailed season schedule sometime soon.


EDIT: If the majority of the field (over half) is taken out on the first lap then the race will be restarted.

[_rod_]

I dont remember seening that in any of ur posts, but will last lap pit stop be allowed? Im not goin to race it but im wondering cause that might happen since it havent been said anything about it.
Hope you can understand what i mean.

[Leifde]

Thanks for reminding me of that, required pit-stops will not be allowed on the last two laps.

I have only listed demo racers there, if you're S2 licensed and you want to join then PM me please - 1 space left unless demo racers can't get there.

Me and th84 will be moderators on the night. The server will go password protected at 6:30pm on Sunday. You will each recieve a PM with the server details in sometime on Sunday before the event.


Just a little note about driving standards: if we think your driving is not up to scratch then we may refuse your entry into the league.
These are the things we will be looking for in your driving:

1) Stability - you are not weaving across the track randomly.
2) Speed - if we think you are not fast enough (<100mph on the straight etc.)
3) Accidents - what you do after having an accident or spinning.


Do not worry too much about this as it is very unlikely that you'll fail more than 1 category.

[Mark_Raven]

just one question...
do racers s2 licensed race for the championship?
I ask this because i saw that some s2 licensed racer are into the list for the championship...
Bye

[th84]

i think danny said that they can race if the want to, but they will not collect points or be in the running for the s2 voucher!! only demo raceers can win the voucher!! good luck mark!!

[Mark_Raven]

ok...i listened that thing... but i don't remember where... thank you...

[Leifde]

Yes, S2 licensed racers may race but they will not earn points. They're there to give people a better race (more people on track = closer racing).

[Mark_Raven]

ok... right...

[Miki_]

leifde or Danny how are u?:))):thumb: how was the race?:thumb: and i want to know why we can't go to 'our' server? i try all day,u know what i mean right?
cya tommorrow on the server i hope so

[Miki_]

Gyus are u ready for the practise?last few days there was nobady on the server everybody practise offline:)

[Leifde]

Ok, today is the day of the practise, you will all recieve the server details sometime around 3:15pm GMT. :)

EDIT: Server details sent out to everybody.

[faster111]

Ok, today is the day of the practise, you will all recieve the server details sometime around 3:15pm GMT. :)

i be there on the sever thats a fact

[BlakjeKaas]

I wasn't there, :(
2 reasons.
- It was sunday 8PM (GMT+1)
- My uncle and aunt were visiting here... :shrug:

I really really really really really want that the races are saturday :)

[Mark_Raven]

i was there, just for a while, because i had some connection problem and the connection always fall down... (i don't know why...:shrug: )

[HeerBommel]

I wasn't there because I had another appointment that evening. I was not on the other appoinment even because my comp died.

[-Nero-]

I'm in for the league too, it's good to see something competitive on the demo version. Now I'm wondering why the public server got password protected =)

sorry about that! i made the server private yesterday for practice and forgot to make it public again!! sorry bout that! :) it is public now!! :)

[HeerBommel]

I like to join that demo league too. So I am scrapping a few of the other leagues. Sometimes it gets too serious. Just give me some good old demo races and make me happy :tilt: .

[Miki_]

hi,this is my skin:))) Miki_ skin:)))

[Leifde]

Thanks Miki_ :)

[Miki_]

Leifde i think that the skin is very,very,very good:)))what do u mean about that?:pillepall ha ha ha ha the best skin:))

[faster111]

when do the raceing start? for the real events

[Leifde]

I'm not sure, I need to get a provisional calender up sometime but more importantly I need to finish the website.

[th84]

nice skin miki!!! maybe after u win this league youll upload it :)

[Jakg]

Yes, S2 licensed racers may race but they will not earn points. They're there to give people a better race (more people on track = closer racing).right, can i join sometimes, without actually being in all events or gainiang any kind of standing, just to keep the numbers up?

[Leifde]

Yes that's the idea, demo racers come first though, you only get to race if there's some free spots.

[Miki_]

what's the problem?!there is nobady on the server?!!!the race is today right?

[Leifde]

There is no race today, where did you find out there was one?

When there's a race you will get a PM with the server details in, only when you get them will there be a race. :)

[Miki_]

so when is the race?i watch the calendar

[Leifde]

Ah sorry! The website is taking longer to do than I expected so there will be a late start for the league.

[BlakjeKaas]

is the endurance race a part of the demo league or...?

[-Nero-]

Having a list of those who will participate would help I guess, at least to know how much will try it.

[th84]

there is a list somewhere in this thread!! im sure things will be much clearer when danny gets the site up and running!!

[Leifde]

Most questions people will ask will probably be answered in some way in this thread.

The endurance race is totally seperate from the league standings.

The website is under construction but I encountered a set-back where every file apart from my error file was deleted so I'm about a couple of days behind what I should be. (Never mind the fact that it should have been done about 2 weeks ago if I'd been working hard on it :shy: )

EDIT: Just found out that the registration pages didn't get deleted. It's weird that some did and some didn't.
EDIT2: I've just finished the login page and made some adjustments to the register pages.

[Leifde]

There's 11 racers interested in the league now - 1 more than we can fit on a server with 2 mods so the races will be first ocme, first served. :)

[th84]

or you could do two servers with a mod on each :)

but i guess the points would get confusing then :P

[Leifde]

Yeh, I think it's best to keep to 1 server unless we get 20+ people signed up for each race.

[Taavi(EST)]

Btw, Count me in it! if i'm not too late, i'll team up with Timi(CRO) for the endurance event

btw is it still planned for sunday, if it is, then it's pretty bad for me, best suited day would be friday or saturday.

[Leifde]

People interested in the league:
Dino Lippi
himself
faster111
wheel4hummer
Pistta
Mark_Raven
BlakjeKaas
HeerBommel
Miki_
Hooligan.
timi (CRO)
Taavi(EST)

zeeaq
the one

Remember only 3 or 4 people turned up to the official practise so there's a chance that some of those people listed won't be able to make it.

Once I have the website up I will ask Victor for a sub-forum and I will make a thread with a poll for the day of the races.

[HeerBommel]

Remember only 3 or 4 people turned up to the official practise so there's a chance that some of those people listed won't be able to make it.

A few people here already know that I try to enjoy my old-age :schwitz:. Not sure if i can join all the races with the fast and furious

[-Nero-]

I think you forgot my name on the interested list ^^

[Rooble]

Hey Leifde, is this still active, how's the website coming, need any help with that? Im also intrested in doing some league racing now that im fast enough :D

[Leifde]

I'll add you to the list Rooble.

I haven't done anything on the site for about 2 weeks now, I just keep forgetting! :shy: But don't worry, the league is still happening. :)

P.S. You have a PM Rooble.

[Alan Wright]

And thats another 2 weeks now, so just thought i'd bump this and see how things are coming along. Any more info for us yet?

[Leifde]

I've been on holiday for 2 weeks and I thought I posted about it, sorry :shy:.

I have 2 weeks off school now so I can hopefully get the website finished, after that I'll decide some rough dates and we'll all decide which day of the week the races will be on.

Once again, sorry for not telling you.

[BlakjeKaas]

Ehm, ok so the league is apart from the endurance race...
but can you win something with the endurance race or is it 4 fun?

[Leifde]

Each team has 2 drivers up for the prize in the endurance. Those 2 drivers will win an S2 license each if the team wins the endurance.

[BlakjeKaas]

Ok, and with the league you can also win a S2 license?
thnx for helping :D

[Leifde]

Yes the league winner also wins an S2 license.

[faster111]

any new news on this yet?

[d6nn]

are s2 licensed allowed? and can any1 copy me the rules or smthng. i'd be interested too

[th84]

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=76683#post76683 :)

you can find the rules on that page also.

[anttt69]

ZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzz:sleep2:zzzz :scratchch

if you dont get this going soon I will start my own Demo league!

how long does it take? you seem to make excuse after excuse..........:pillepall

[zeeaq]

ahem..i think with theway things are going, we must all start calling this "S3 Demo racing league" :D :D :D

[Leifde]

I've only got about an hours work left to do on the karting league website, then it's about 20 minutes work to convert it into the demo league website, so I'm nearly there, I may even finish it today! :thumb:

[Kronvall]

If there is still room, i would be intrested :D

[Kronvall]

I have to say, lol!
I bought a S2 licens today! ( I was a demo racer when I wrote the first post) :D :D

[d6nn]

I have to say, lol!

good for you m8 (y)

[Leifde]

Welcome to the S2 side. :)

You can still take part in the league if you want - just not for a prize. :)

[Kalev EST]

If there is still more room, I would be interested in taking part too.:nod:

[StiDrift]

Hey i would be interested in racing, just tell me where and when

[Kalev EST]

How is the website coming along and when will the league finally kick off?:rolleyes:
This month? Next month? Next year? When the LFS S3 full comes out? :shrug:

[Leifde]

Please be patient, the first event will either be this month or early next month depending on which day you lot choose to have as race day. :)

P.S. Site will be up today or tomorrow, depending on how fast the host is at accepting signups today. :)

[Kalev EST]

Thanks. That´s all I needed to know.:thumb:

[Kris-Is-Awesome]

Well, there's a demo league? I'm in.

[Leifde]

Bit of a problem here - I haven't recieved the confirmation email for the hosting, I'll look around for another free host.

[Kalev EST]

Check from here:

[Kris-Is-Awesome]

www.piczo.com is a good free site place. Few adds, easy, and HTML compatible.

[Leifde]

Piczo is good for small sites but rubbish for anything semi-professional-like, thanks for the link anyway. :)

[Kris-Is-Awesome]

I tried. Have you tried .Tk?

[Leifde]

Isn't that just domain names? I'll have another look tomorrow.

[Kalev EST]

There are many bugs on the website. If you would fix them and come up with the race schedule, more people would sign up. Right now there are only 3 demo racers, 1 S2 licensed and Leifde :razz:.

[Kalev EST]

Ok, not many, only two. I´m sorry.:ashamed:
The logo isn´t displayed properly and there is this stuff on the home page:

"Warning: main(cutenews/show_news.php) [function.main (http://www.lfskl.cjb.net/LFSDemoLeague/function.main)]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/lfsk5243/public_html/LFSDemoLeague/index.php on line 67

[Leifde]

Ok, I need to make the logo (I'm not very good at making logos so if anyone wants to create one they can :)) and I need to install cutenews. I will install cutenews sometime in the next hour. :)

[d6nn]

ok i'll do the logo

[d6nn]

ok done another quickie



DAMN SRY there is a spelling mistake. Leauge should be league. ill fix the bug sometime later

[faster111]

ok done another quickie



DAMN SRY there is a spelling mistake. Leauge should be league. ill fix the bug sometime later

Woo thats so cool 10 out of 10

[Soki]

Hi
i would like to join the league , while reading through the thread i noticed that there wasnt any race yet.
So when will be the first race? :)

[tristancliffe]

Move the 'May the best man win' up a bit to, it's too close to the edge. I can't give it 10 out of 10 because of that and the spelling mistake, but as faster can't read or spell it's hardly surprising he does.

[Kalev EST]

I like it, but maybe you should use a neutral skin on the car, not a team skin.

[d6nn]

ok fixed it but i think its not so good this time.

[tristancliffe]

I think it's better personally. But the background wheel is now squashed. Sorry. I do like it, I'm just trying to help.

[d6nn]

yes i thought the same thing with the background :(

[Soki]

don´t you think " let the best driver win" would sound better?

[Leifde]

Thanks for the logo d6nn I'll put it up now. :)

EDIT: It's not quite wide enough but it'll do :)

[Soki]

so whats up with the league?!

[Kalev EST]

so whats up with the league?!
That´s exactly what I would like to know. :confused:

[th84]

Me too :shrug:

[Leifde]

Bit of a busy month -

13/14th - karting
20th - birthday
28th - LFSKL race

I will try and schedule the race for sometime but I can't promise one for this month.

I'm hopefully moving the website to a new host sometime in the next couple of days so please bear with me, I'm really sorry for all the delays :(

I will post more news in the next day or two.

[zeeaq]

yawn yawn.....wake me up when the event happens..:sleep2:

[WyngPax]

I don't think that like a bad idea :),we can make 8 races,every track reverse and twice,maybe 20 laps per race and 20 min qualifications,every week one race during the weekend,with no limited cars for the race,all of the 3 cars can race :) tell me what you think about it :)

[Kalev EST]

..with no limited cars for the race,all of the 3 cars can race...
No, they can´t. Allowing all three is the same as allowing only XRT. All cars should be used in the league.

[Soki]

so nothing new i guess?!

[axus]

:really: You're kidding right? Organised racing in the DEMO? Come on - having demo teams is ludicrous enough. Next thing you know - Demo MoE 24hr races...

[Gabkicks]

they are willing to spend time organizing and participating in a league... but cant spend 24 pounds for the full version?

Time is money : :P at minimum wage... you'd only have to work a few days to make enough money for lfs :p

[th84]

Organised racing in the DEMO?

The thing that convinced me to buy the license was a few good organised events in the old s1 demo. I think it shows the game/sim/hobby in a whole new light rather than 5-10 lap free for all's! Everyone is entilted to there own opinion, but i think organised races, even in the demo, is a good thing.

[(-Mark-)]

i would like to take part in this event, just to get me used to things like this so when i buy the a licence i know what the deal is

[minimax]

Perhaps having a website and forum would help as opposed to running an entire league off one thread. If you need help with that i might be able to help. I have a server you can use as well

[Matias Heikkinen]

i want to take part in the race very much!

but i don't if the league is hold on yet? :schwitz:

[th84]

yea, ive pretty much gave up!! :(

[Matias Heikkinen]

:shrug: sori,my english is very bad.

i have an idear:
the demo has 3 cars and 4 tracks,so we can get 12 times to race! one weekend for hardtrack race,and another one for rally track race.if a racer just take part in one of hardtrack-race and rally race,he'll get 2 weeks time to practice for his race.with the 12 GP,we can hold on some special match(like the XRT drifting match,le-mans...ect.)to let the demo league more interesting.

then...we can make some mod of the track in 4 seasons in a year(spring.summer.fall.winter),and use different wheater in each GP, it will makes the demo league more interesting.

i think there will be some excellent demo racer produced by the league in the furture!

[Spudster]

i'm interested in this demo league!
might be also a way to promote my team :scratchch

but i like it cos i cant get s2 til my Bday (lack of funds lol)

[Matias Heikkinen]

don't give up and fall asleep. :schwitz:

i think the race will be run in a few weeks.

[Leifde]

Hi,

First off, I'm really sorry about not posting for a couple of weeks, coursework and my other league got in the way. :(

Secondly, good news! I am going to upload the fully working website sometime today and I will apply for a sub-forum after that.

Thirdly, kinda bad news here, I cannot guarantee that I'll be able to make it to each race to watch over it so I need someone to hand those duties to. I will PM someone who has been involved in the setting up of the league and see if they would like to do it but I am willing to accept applications by PM.

And lastly, the first race will be on BLGP Reverse with the XFG and it will be run either on the 11th June or the 18th June. :)

Once again, sorry for not posting. :(

[Leifde]

Very good news here - the website is up and working apart from a weird bug on one of the pages that isn't really that bad.

I have one more thing to do and it's on the calendar. It'll make browsing the race dates one hell of a lot easier when it's done. :)

[Spudster]

whats the link????

[Leifde]

:shy: woops

www.lfsdemoleague.cjb.net

[Spudster]

do you want me to email you my xfg and xrt skins for the website?

also, have you already got a forum? if not i can recommend an excellent forum builder thats totally free, www.forumup.com, i used it to make my team's forums, and it is very easy to use.

[Leifde]

I'm going to be getting a subforum on here that we will use. :)

And yes, please could you send me the skins that you are going to use. Please make it only 2 per car to save space on the server. :)

My email is dquarton AT gmail DOT com

[(-Mark-)]

ill deffo join, not a demo racer anymore but still would take part:)

[Spudster]

ill deffo join, not a demo racer anymore but still would take part:)

read the rules about S2 licensed racers

[Jakg]

read the rules about S2 licensed racersthere are no special rules...

[(-Mark-)]

Ah :( i could still race? just not earn points?, or if you need it i could help out with the league

[Spudster]

there are no special rules...

go to the site unlearned one, there you will find the rules.....

[Jakg]

go to the site unlearned one, there you will find the rules.....ok, after some badgering via MSN on this issue, i must updte my post

There are no special rules for S2 racers other than the fact that you can't earn points (the points would decide the winner of the S2 license, and as you already have one, that would be slightly pointless!), however you can still participate in the races

[Spudster]

bug on the website, and its the same with all the profiles i look at:

[Leifde]

Umm....

I'll try and fix it...

[Vendetta]

lol, good luck faster111! im rooting for ya :D

[Matias Heikkinen]

i hope the race start at 2:00 p.m(GMT) in Sunday,i think it's the best way for the racer all over the world,in UK,it's 2:00 p.m,in asia,it's 22:00 p.m,in US,it's 9:00 a.m..

[Matias Heikkinen]

i don't agree with "allow team join the demo league"

because the league wants let the BEST DRIVER to win,if allow team join,the "2nd driver" in the team(like Barrichello in ferrari,fisichella in renault...) will let the other driver more slowly so that the "1st driver"(like MS in ferrari,Alonso in renault) easier to win.

[BlakjeKaas]

YES! the site is online :D
THANKS leifde :D

p.s. if it's 2:00 p.m in the U.K., it's 2 pm in the netherlands isn't it?

(so now it would be 9.44 a.m. in UK?

[Matias Heikkinen]

maybe yes,

i think if the race start at 2:00 p.am,the country that in the east of UK will be 3:00 p.m(finland)~23:00 p.m(Japan),and the country that in the west of UK will be 2:00 p.m(maybe holland,spain)~9:00(USA),just sorry to the racers in Australia(because australia will be 01:00:schwitz:)

i'll bring many racers from eastern asia.so this time is the best way for everyone.i think

[Leifde]

@BlakjeKaasNo, you're is an hour behind us, it was 10:44 when you posted. :)

9am for the Americans may be a bit early so I'm thinking 3:00pm GMT?

That's 10:00am EDT, 4:00pm CEST

[Matias Heikkinen]

:schwitz: yeah...9:00 a.m is a little earlier to americans.but if the race start at 3:00(GMT),the time in China will be 23:00 and in Japan will be 0:00,it's too late..

i think the asian demo racer is more than american racer.and i'll bring many asian driver to join the league.

look here,there are 2 asian driver in the top 25.
http://v2.86086.com/2006-6-3/tko4em6d.jpg

by the way,to the americans,the race start in the sunday morning,but to the asian,the race start in the sunday night,it's nearly the monday,they must have a good rest for the work and study in monday.

[Spudster]

maybe yes,

i think if the race start at 2:00 p.am,the country that in the east of UK will be 3:00 p.m(finland)~23:00 p.m(Japan),and the country that in the west of UK will be 2:00 p.m(maybe holland,spain)~9:00(USA),just sorry to the racers in Australia(because australia will be 01:00:schwitz:)

i'll bring many racers from eastern asia.so this time is the best way for everyone.i think

there kind of arent any countries west of england for a long time, have a look at your local map or atlas and you'll see what i mean :nod::nod:

[Leifde]

I think he means western Europe :)

[Spudster]

I think he means western Europe :)

oh, okies in which case i apologise.

[NO_1]

great! i woult like to take part in! but..23:00.... i have to go to bed. i think 22:00 is good

[siemens]

:schwitz: yeah...9:00 a.m is a little earlier to americans.but if the race start at 3:00(GMT),the time in China will be 23:00 and in Japan will be 0:00,it's too late..

I am in Hong Kong. I hope the race can start earlier because I think 3:00(GMT) is too late for asian. :)

[th84]

Problem is, i cannot be there to moderate before 10:30-11:00am my time (us eastern) so it will have to start after that.

[Leifde]

I am sorry to anyone who cannot join because of the time but there is nothing I can do apart from running more than one league, that may be a good idea for next season but not this one as we wouldn't have many racers in it.

[Matias Heikkinen]

I am sorry to anyone who cannot join because of the time but there is nothing I can do apart from running more than one league, that may be a good idea for next season but not this one as we wouldn't have many racers in it.

you mean the demo league can't running in this summer?

how about 2:30 p.m(GMT)?

[Matias Heikkinen]

the race will be start at 12:00 or 1:00 p.m for the driver in west european

[Leifde]

There will be one league this summer and each race will take place at 3:00pm GMT unless stated before the event. There will be one event every month.

[zeeaq]

Ok me and my demo racer frnd are in.Plz let me know about the skins.

3cars x 2 = 6 skins (in all) ??? :shrug:

What about the timings ? Cldnt find them anywhere on the site !!!

And ya...Thnx guys :thumb:.Can't wait for the league.

Edit : Ok 3:00 GMT...fyn.

More details about the date and the car/track...of this months event wld be appreciated...

[Leifde]

Each person may have a maximum of 2 skins per car or alternatively, 6 skins in total.

Please send those skins to me via email (dquarton AT gmail DOT com) and I will post them on the website sometime soon.

Got that.:nod:

[Kalev EST]

There will be one event every month.
Why not more? The league would go on forever like that. I think there should be atleast two events per month. :rolleyes:

[th84]

[Leifde]

Ok, fine with me, just tell me what day you want to race on. I'm think Sunday at the moment but it can change. :)

[Matias Heikkinen]

hi danny don't yuo see the calendar that i send to you?

[Kalev EST]

Ok, fine with me, just tell me what day you want to race on. I'm think Sunday at the moment but it can change. :)
Sunday is fine with me.:)

[garph]

Surely a demo league with a prize of a full S2 license should only allow demo racers in, having people who already have an S2 license in takes that place and the chance of winning away from someone who needs it more. Isn't the point of a demo league to have demo racers in it?

And 1 event a month will make the league very long and slow 1 event a week is much better or at least 2 a month (1 every 2 weeks) and lets you run more seasons a year.

Plus if you ask people what day and time you'll never get a race day because everyone will want to race at different times and with different timezones as well it makes it more difficult.

This league has been "in the making" for ages now, crank this baby up and get it going. :thumb:

Good luck.

[road_super]

LoL.this is great!
iwant to in,but time is too late for me:scratchch
in china 11:00 i usually go to bed
the one part i fully agree is the date is all sat.
that im a student,can race only on fri. adn sat.

[Matias Heikkinen]

why we need 2 skins per car? i think 1 skin per car is better,we can identify and remenber each other better.

i agree with the race start at 3:00(GMT) in sunday,but the race must be finish less than 1 hour.And...we have to let the damage of lost connection to be lest!

there's an advice about the way to race:

2 race,one in saturday,one in sunday.both start at 3:00(GMT)

20 min qual before race,then..a race. the racer who didn't have time to race in sunday can race in saturday,and the racer who didn't have time to race in saturday can race in sunday...

[Matias Heikkinen]

LoL.this is great!
iwant to in,but time is too late for me:scratchch
in china 11:00 i usually go to bed
the one part i fully agree is the date is all sat.

ok,my new idear for the race is 2 races in a week(Saturday & Sunday),and each race will not more than 1 hour, if you can't join the sunday race,you can join the saturday race in 23:00, in sunday morning,you can sleep to 11:00 a.m :nod:

yes! i agree with you ! the rule can't for everybady.we have to say sorry(very very very) to many demo racers.

sorry to the racers who lived in Australia,Japan,Korea..
sorry to the racers who can't join in sunday morning in USA
sorry to the racers who ......................

In addition,i think the Helmet's skin is needed.it's a sign of a racer.

[th84]

It's impossible to please everyone. A time must be set and those who can make it, great, for those who cant, im very sorry.

[zeeaq]

It's impossible to please everyone. A time must be set and those who can make it, great, for those who cant, im very sorry.
Exactly.Just fix a day...preferably sunday...coz all are free on Sundays.And fix a time too.And people who can't make it..try for the next race.

One more thing.One event per month is less..agreed.Two per month should be good.But please think before making ridiculous suggestions like 2 races per week (Saturday and Sunday).

[zeeaq]

why we need 2 skins per car? i think 1 skin per car is better,we can identify and remenber each other better.

Thats what dear Matias...read the post again...he says 2 skins per car ("MAXIMUM").

[Leifde]

Ok, the first race is set for Sunday 11th June at 3:00pm BST. That is 4:00pm CEST or 10:00am EDT. :)

th84 will be running this event so do as he says! :)

Remember there will be two races, the first will be a 10 lap sprint race with a ROLLING start, and a 20 lap feature race with a STANDING start + warmup lap.

Please remember to read the rules before the event. You'll find them on the website. Oh and one more thing, if th84 feels you deliberately made contact or made more than one blocking move on a straight then he will issue you with a warning. If it happens again he will exclude you from the race and you will be issued with 1 point. If, in the next race in that day, you get another exclusion, you will be banned from the next race meeting. If you gain 6 points you will be banned for the rest of the season. You may apply about any points but, if it is found to have been a mistake, you will not gain any positions from the race you were excluded from but you will lose that point from your record. If at any time you would like to find out how many points you have please PM me and I will look it up for you as quickly as I can. :)

I will add that to the rules now for future record.

I'm experimenting results board styles and i wonder if people could give feedback on this style i am working on. Each column will be a lap time and another column will be added on the left for final positions, but as i say i am still experimenting and just want to see what people think.
