The story so far

The 24 hour race is the fourth race of the Masters of Endurance season. During the first two races Pedal To The Metal Racing was unbeaten, and took two wins. At Blackwood they only scored a fourth place, which allowed the other teams to come closer. teamnic is one of those teams, currently second in the championship. They have not scored any win yet, but did make it to the podium every race. Currently third in the championship is the XR GTR team of Ocrana Racing, who beat teamnic in the last race by just 5 seconds. They are only two points behind teamnic and three points ahead of the XR GTR team of n!faculty racing. n!faculty won the last race and aims to get into the top three in the championship.
Newcommers such as pod-virtual gaming, tHUNder racing, dRagonality LFS Team, HighFiDelity Racing, Team ITEK and Estonian Endurance Racers will take up the challenge and give the other teams a run for their points.

Really nice orginized, thumbs up :thumb:

[Qurpiz]

I've been waiting for this to happen for quite some time now, the first 24h race in LFS history!! (correct me if I'm wrong)

Good luck to all who participate!

[inCogNito]

actually it's the 3rd 24hours race in LFS :)

[Priitmek]

Live stream!:thumb:
Yummy!
I hope I'm doing fine if I am being spectated.:D

[Vendetta]

Good luck guys! Youll need it :D

Yummy!
I hope I'm doing fine if I am being spectated.:D

I hope so too. :) Wouldn't look fine if one's doing a crash when he is on video :)

[ORION]

A shame that there will be no ZT team this time, so we cant say we won them all :/

Well, actually we won only one in the overally ranking, but we always won in the GTI :D

[the_angry_angel]

Looks good, count me in for sucking your stream bandwidth :D

[bbman]

I hope there's a place left for me when I join the stream... :schwitz: :D

[Frankmd]

I think there will be plenty of places, but it might be a good idea to be there in time :)

You are also able to follow the race using LFS Specator. You can download that here (http://www.triso.de/download/index.php) (get the file 22: LfS_Spectator_2_02.zip).

According to Mika, the organizer for the stream, they will have 500 slots with an option for more.

[LRB_Aly]

I think that should be enough, or not? Well Hoellsen you surely know how many poeple look at such a stream, cause you where involved in the moderation of the ESL finals. Can you tell us any numbers from there?

If just half of the community is interested in watching... :scratchch Nah, sounds enough... :D

[Cue-Ball]

I will definitely be watching this stream as well. The Endurance League races are always well organized and have great racing. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Kudos to you guys for pushing the limits and really making a virtual league that has the class and drama of a real league.

[Hoellsen]

Sorry, Aly, no I can't. And even if I could I probably wouldn't be allowed to. ;)

[LRB_Aly]

Ok. See you tonight (well actually we don't see us but you know what I mean :) )

Edit: Will there be any downloadable Video of the Stream after the Race?

[Krutch]

pod - virtual gaming will be taking part in this race. We present our team for the 24H at our website (in German, but even if you can't speak that language you can still see the pictures ;))

Ooh, in german.

[Renku]

Technical difficulties here :shrug:.
From Winamp: sound ok, but scrambled/blurry video; from Zuschauen mit ActiveX-Plugin (Nur Microsoft Internet Explorer) no LFS, only a music show or something...

Edit: Messed with options, now ok; Removed Allow hardware video overlay from Video options :scratchch

[Horci]

I have a technical question ... :)

I want to watch the race, with winamp, but it isnt shows the video. I can hear, the voice (but its german ... :S).
Winamp can recognize the video's data (NSV:445kpbs, VP62 384x256@25fps ~ 384 kpbs), but nothing.
As I know, NSV is a special nullsoft codec, so can't be the codec miss.

Please help me :)

[Frankmd]

I think this fixed it:

Edit: Messed with options, now ok; Removed Allow hardware video overlay from Video options :scratchch

The starting grid for tomorrow.

[Horci]

Nothing changed. I tried every hardware settings, but nothing.
(Only I can see a Nullsoft icon, under this, a progressbar. The bar, is full, so its not buffering... So i don't have purple window, and others like this ... )

Other fact. I tried some Online TV from winamp's homepage, and its correct.
(I asked one of my friend, and he have same problem)
Maybe some problem with the broadcast?

[the_angry_angel]

It worked fine here Horci :( Which version of Winamp are you using?

[g-FM_Serial]

Hi Guys,

Sorry, for this late answer but i had some problems with my email reply from this Page stupid greylisting on our mailserver :)

So i would give you for tomorrow some examples for fixing the problem with the Winamp-Videostream:

First try and install the full/pro Version of the latest Winamp Version the free Winamp 5.12 Full Version can you find at this Link:
www.winamp.com/player/full.php

A other Problem sometimes with older Full Version could be that link:
So try alternative at your Playlist @ Winamp those Shortcut "Crtl + L"
And at this to links into your Winamp Playlist:
http://radio.gamer-fm.de:9200/listen.pls
org
http://radio.gamer-fm.de:9200/;stream.nsv

Ok this this is Eventstream ist not online right now so only for testing you can try to connect to our Mainvideostream @
http://radio.gamer-fm.de:9500/listen.pls
or
http://radio.gamer-fm.de:9500/;stream.nsv

So the last Chance after those ways didn`t work you can try it via your Internet Explorer under that link: http://www.gamer-fm.de/v4/index.php/streams?id=4
Try the bottom link!
Sorry for nice Firefox/Mozilla User we are still working to made a stable Popup Window like under IE for you to :shrug:


So i hope i could helped you all. Sorry btw. for this mad english :(

[Horci]

Now it works ! :D

Don't know why, the LFS video had codec problem, but the online TVs worked fine (same codec ...)

I downloaded, the 5.12 Bundle version (before I had 5.01), and I installed it in full... So, it works :)

Thanks for the help :) Now I can see the race ! :D

[LRB_Aly]

Thank you :) was a great event.

[Messiah]

Congratulations to all teams! 24 hours is a real challenge over and over again! :)

There were so many people actively involved again, it's just awesome! And the whole thing all around it (if you get up and go get it!) brings you very near to the race, the tracker, the streams, the interviews and all that kind of stuff :D

[STROBE]

Grats to n!faculty and ITEK (for their first MoE race)!
Cheers mate, was a good blast. :)

[Theafro]

it's nice to see LFS moving beyond simple 'arrive and drive' racing, into a more organised and exciting form. none of this is new in itself (i might be wrong about the live video stream, for LFS anyway)

it's all better covered than 99% of all other motorsport, i can see a LFS channel starting on TV soon:D

you've raised the bar, for sim-racing, for endurance racing and for LFS

well done to all involved:thumb:

i hope this is just a sign of more good things to come!

[rediske]

before I forget...

thanks to all people who were involved in organizing this great event!!! :up:

great tv weekend!!! ;)

[whitey6272]

grats to n! and all the racers. thx, gamer-fm great coverage, i saw it all.

:thumb:


please tell me your joking..

[inCogNito]

well, i saw it all, too.

except for those hours while i was driving :)

[molocco]

hello people,

great racing... all of you!!!

i watched basically all and i must say that i´m overwhelmed with
your average speed. keeping this pace for 24h is unbelievable.

also this was the best covered sim event i ever had the pleasure
to watch. the combination of tracker, lfs-spec-tool and livestream
is more than most tv sport events are providing.

thank you for lifting lfs on another level.
