The StormCup Schedule

Schedule would be 5 ovals with road courses to fill in between the ovals (overall 10 races):

But I'm going to move back the earliest possible date to June 8th at 20:00 GMT (should be 10:00 hawaii time on a sunday)

This is debatable of course but this will be the time from now on.

[mutt107]

we need only 1 kyoto normal and 1 rev then rest of ovals autocross ovals.

[lizardfolk]

Alright, that'll be fine

[mutt107]

wow you posted quick lol i might be able to make a oval layout for kyoto (a small one)

[lizardfolk]

Dont worry about it. PMD has some great layouts just begging to be used :D

[mutt107]

i have one that someone made. its really for uf1s but it may work for xrt 55392

[lizardfolk]

I'll check it out :)

[HighRoad]

When is the first race?
next sunday?

[lizardfolk]

May 31st or June 8th. Somewhere there depending on the participants

[h3adbang3r]

I think I may have an old Martinsville layout somewhere, let me dig it up.

EDIT- Here it is. Have to turn right though. You can edit it if need be.

[lizardfolk]

I think I may have an old Martinsville layout somewhere, let me dig it up.

I have a martinsville layout thxs :)

[h3adbang3r]

Oh well. Maybe you could take a look at mine though :)

[lizardfolk]

Sure, add me on msn: pariahserpent@hotmail.com

[lizardfolk]

I updated the race list and now the races include Storm Racing sponsor names.

Since we are sponsored by real corporations I see no reason why we cant have them incorporated into our races.

[scania]

too many road track, too less oval...

[lizardfolk]

too many road track, too less oval...

sorry, if I had too much ovals back to back I risk loosing interest from other non-oval people. The problem with LFS is that it only has one oval, and as for the autoXs I'd like to keep that to a minimum. I think the even combo is fine

[TFalke55]

Race 3: Streets of South City
Track: South City Town Reverse

Name theft!!! :D just kidding, I have no problem with this

5. 13.07.08 Streets of South City (SO4r)
Sprint: 10 laps Main Event: 30 laps



I know I've stated around May 31 and 19:00 GMT.

But I'm going to move back the earliest possible date to June 8th at 20:00 GMT (should be 10:00 hawaii time on a sunday)

This is debatable of course but this will be the time from now on.

When I have the LFSCART website running ect ect, I'm going to make a poll about my start times. Maybe doing it 1h earlier, so we won't have a conflict with the start times.

we can have some layout on AutoX & Oval, like Higherlane & make a snake on oval in LFSCAR

off topic: I can't join if the race time is GMT 1900, can it have litle bit changh?

[lizardfolk]

Name theft!!! :D

Thxs for allowing me to use it :D

Thank you. Hopefully it can work out for both leagues



I can't join if the race time is GMT 1900, can it have litle bit changh?

It's actually changed to 20:00 GMT but I guess that's also not good for you?

[scania]

It's actually changed to 20:00 GMT but I guess that's also not good for you?
can it be 2130 GMT?

[lizardfolk]

Ah....gees....umm...I guess that'll be manageable. What time is that in Hawaii? 11:30?

[scania]

how long the race is?
any problem of 1130? it is Sunday/Saturday

and than, do there have any test severs of LFSCAR?

will we have any offical test day

[evilpimp]

The only problem is that by putting it at 21 30 GMT your automaticly eliminating many people from the UK :S

[scania]

what is the time in UK of GMT 2130?

[lizardfolk]

Are you entering mistatea?

[evilpimp]

I think I'll be entering but I don't know if I'll make it to ALL the events. But I still think 21 30 is a bit late...

Btw scania when its 21 30 GMT its 22 30 in UK... So yeah... It's a bit late ... :S

[scania]

Are you entering mistatea?
I'll join if I sure the time for me is ok.

[lizardfolk]

I'll join if I sure the time for me is ok.

Sorry, would it be possible for you to be a little early and make the 20:00 GMT time?

[HighRoad]

cause that is 23 30 in my time.... and i cant make it that time :D

[scania]

Sorry, would it be possible for you to be a little early and make the 20:00 GMT time?
2030 ok?
than, how many laps of each race?

[lizardfolk]

You absolutely cannot make the 20:00? The largest race is probably 150 miles (Kyoto) and the laps depend on the tracks themselves.

I included information on the laps now. The races are from 90 miles to 150 miles. But most races are around 100-115 miles so the races aren't long at all.

(BTW this length is flexible as well)

[scania]

2000is ok, but......
I'l drive like drunk.....
Can we have a offical test day?

[scania]

where can I dl Autocross California Layout?

[scania]

momo 100? Logitech Mile?
are they spomsor?
Do we need to post their logo on our skin?

[lizardfolk]

LOL please do your best :)

I'll PM u sometime next week about a pack. but the creator doesn't want people outside of the competitors to have them

momo 100? Logitech Mile?

No no no, of course not. Just make one skin and try to stick with that one skin. (Of course stock car format).

BTW these names are actual sponsors for Storm Racing (yes real life sponsors). Since they sponsor storm racing and storm racing hosts the league it would be a good idea to have them "sponsor" the individual races.

[scania]

but.. there are not enough aera on my skin now if it should be Stock car format...

[scania]

is this ok?

[scania]

something I don't understand

2200 GMT= 0500 GMT+8
but it is Sunday pr Saturday?
Can you send a pm before 12 hrs of the race start?

[TFalke55]

something I don't understand

2200 GMT= 0500 GMT+8
but it is Sunday pr Saturday?

this very moment it is 15:35 UTC / 16:35 BST / 17:35 CEST, ;) so calculate now

[lizardfolk]

but.. there are not enough aera on my skin now if it should be Stock car format...

Stock car format is just three giant numbers. Two on the door and the roof number if facing left. that's all I was referring to LOL. You already have your own decals on the car so that's fine

is this ok?

Scania, I said your skin was perfect. LOL

[racer hero]

Lizard, is there any way we could keep these races on seperate weekends from IGTC? I realise they are on different days, but still we that want to participate in both need practice time for both.

Thanks,
Kenneth

(comment edited out after some thought)

Edited: Actually Ken. The planned break in the schedule is coincidentally on the weekend of the 28th in June and the weekend of the 26th in July. Interesting how this worked out coincidentally :D

I undated the schedule with the planned dates just now

[scania]

will we have a race video after the race like CTRA/STCC?

[lizardfolk]

will we have a race video after the race like CTRA/STCC?

God I honestly didn't want to let that be known but I spilled the beans last week so I have to give it to the floor now.

Yes, but that is PLANNED Unfortunately, I'm only a 1 man team when it comes to making these videos (fortunately tho I already have two commentators agreeing to commentate). Therefore, with my current computer I cannot record videos cause both Fraps and GameCam lags my comp so much.

I'm planning on getting a new computer with a processor of 3.0 duel. So with that I'll be able to start recording.

But IDK when I'll get it and idk if this whole thing will work out (which is why I didn't announce anything like this yet).

THEREFORE, if it does work out.....then yes we'll have a broadcasts like the STCC.

[JO53PHS]

...When I have the LFSCART website running ect ect, I'm going to....

I see you haven't read my sig lately :scratchch:D

[scania]

when will you upload the AutoX layout?

[lizardfolk]

I cannot publically share the autoX layout upon request by the creator. However, PM me your MSN and I'll catch you on it to give it to you privately :) (This goes for everyone who wants to know what the autoX layout is like. Personally I LOVE IT :D)

omg momo really sponsors SR???

[lizardfolk]

Yes (ask Thor yourself)

[mutt107]

HOLY CRAP! i bet not much other teams have a major sponsor like that!!!

[lizardfolk]

HOLY CRAP! i bet not much other teams have a major sponsor like that!!!

It raised a few questions among people here LOL. You can see the thread that was discussed a bit there (and Thor stating that they are sponsors of us): http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=40051

[mutt107]

ok :) should i add the sponor MOMO and logitech to my car? BTW im getting a skin made based after this car :) http://www.actiondiecast.com/DWaltrip_81MountainDewChamp.jpg

[lizardfolk]

OMG that would be cool :D

It's up to you. I didn't put a single one of those on my car (it would have messed it up). But I'm guessing I already fulfilled SR's obligation to their sponsors by having them "sponsor" each race.

So...I guess you dont have to since I didnt (and these are not team skins in the first place), but if you can (meaning if u have space) I suggest you do so anyway

[evilpimp]

Heh I still don't get HOW your sponsored by them. Do they provide something to you guys? Like steering wheels? O_O

Anyways back to the topic :P
Schedule is ok but meh, still 2 leagues in a row in 1 day is a bit much :( I would actually rather have it on saturday... H2H is ending soon and I'll have saturdays empty. (apart from the IGTC saturdays but those are the same weekends as the breaks). So yeah, saturday would suit me a lot better that way I wouldn't have to race in 2 leagues back to back.

[mutt107]

if they provide a steering wheel tell them to send one over here XD (my dfp is wearing out :( )
and anytime from 18:00 gmt to 22:00 gmt it good for me

[lizardfolk]

Heh I still don't get HOW your sponsored by them. Do they provide something to you guys? Like steering wheels? O_O

I uh...we uh.....LOOK A COOKIE!!!! :D

I'll ask Thor the details about our relationships between these corporations. They probably pay for all of our servers.

Sorry Tea, Sunday is the best for a lot of people including me

it is so many reverse track.....

[lizardfolk]

it is so many reverse track.....

There's actually only one reverse track on the schedule currently and that's the last race at the Logitech mile.

[hariel-HUN-]

There's actually only one reverse track on the schedule currently and that's the last race at the Logitech mile.
lol :thumb:

btw, I saw that here were some discussion about the Oval Reverse track. I don't think it's a problem, IMO it should remain in the calendar. Sadly in LFS we have only one oval track, so somehow the we make some diversity (i don't know if it's the correct word...).

So keep on lizard, it will be a great seasonm I think!

To the racers:
Last year i was participating in the LFSCAR 360 Degrees Cup, in the begining it was really a great fun, thanks to the FM guys, but as the races went on, every time fewer and fewer participantns showed at the races, so it must be cancelled due the lack of interest. We shouldn't do this this time. Please:

If you are not in race for the championship, plz don't go away, you still can have good races + you don't destroy the races for the people, who are in the high-end on points.

Blackwood GP Reverse
South City Town Reverse
Fern Bay Gold Reverse Configuration<<(what's the meaning of this?)
Kyoto Oval Reverse

The word choice is correct :) As I've said before the Oval Rev is very similar to the Calder Park oval in Australia. So a good diverse oval selection would be very interesting

Ya, I second what Hariel said. You can still have fun no matter if you're competitive or not. Racing each other is always fun regardless if it's in the front or the back. Plus the provisional points system will make things more interesting for those who are closer to the back (like me :D)

If lizard lets me doing it, I'm going to join in the August races, when LFSCART is over :D

Sure :thumb:

Oh I'm sorry I misunderstood you I thought you were only talking about oval reverse

The california and martinsville lyt is in a way in the middle of the season.

But the all star needed to be almost exactly middle

[TomShanK]

Just switch Martinsville and FernBay ^_^

[lizardfolk]

We'll see, so far it's good to have ovals and circuits spread out imo.

I dont like your writing because it has too many mistake :P jk

[Falcon140]

The reverse tracks were chosen because they are more fun, and provide better racing for the XRT. Plain and simple.

[lizardfolk]

Schedule is updated.

Sponsors and their logos will be sorted eventually

[scania]

can you show the pitstop windows of every race?

[h3adbang3r]

Seems you made a MASSIVE typo and pm'ed us that the race would be 10:00 UTC. Or was it a typo?

[Mischief007]

And then he sent another PM stating 20:00 UTC.

[racer hero]

Is the layout for next round (Round 4) around somewhere?
