[J@tko]

Loved it - one of the best LFS races I've had - lets hope the rest are like that.

I pushed my fuel a bit too hard - could've got a podium if I hadn't made a stupid mistake whilst trying to change my horn :doh:

Really competitive group of lads - lets hope the rest of the season is like this :)

[Oaker]

Even though I got ended up close to last, I really enjoyed this.

It's like real racing.. Safety car, practic sessions, great organizers, etc.

Thumbs up, see ya next week!

[thesloth]

:DYeah, thanks guys for organising a really great race :thumb:. Hope the rest of the season is half as good as this was.

Thanks to Petr CGY, J@tko, Dizzydarryn and Paxo for some tough but fair racing, it was a blast :D

[thesloth]

...and how did the Rookie class fair against the Experienced guys??:scratchch

[Gil07]

18kg ballast in an UF1 :D You have to be an alien to get a good time out of that :o

Congrats Travy :)

[JO53PHS]

Oi!

Someone get on the blower to Rob and ask him WTF he was doing :D

[thesloth]

Congrats Travy :)

You'll be lucky to get off the line with that amount of weight onboard :razz:

...and yeah... congrats on a great race tonight T (not that I was ever close enough to see you :D).

[JO53PHS]

You'll be lucky to get off the line with that amount of weight onboard :razz:


At least it will even out the championship standings a bit :)

[faster111]

I came last but great racing must do better next race tho.

[hyntty]

grrr....

I drove into a ****ing rabbit! And a sandtrap! And got lost and a 35 min drive took two hours :gnasher:

[JO53PHS]

Is this in real life? Poor rabbit :tilt:. Since when did normal roads have sand traps?

Thank you very much for stats and results.

I appreciate the amount of work, you put into this! :thumb::thumb::thumb:

[Hypothraxer]

Very nice event. Thanks for organizing it and also for the statistics! And sorry about that bump at the start Jack - I was too late on the brakes... Edit: Seems like I need to get more consistency into my racing heh. 2nd best in the last split - oh my...

[Fuse5]

This series must be an epic fail. Because it contains 2 epic fails. Joseph and Jack. :D

And looks like Timo is also turning into a fail with his sandtrap "incident"

I might even join the league when I get back from my summerhome. :D

Oh yeah, 18kg in UF1 is no biggie. I tried UF1 with 120kg ballast and 50% restriction. and 100% fuel. Feels like cruising when going round SO sprint 2, going up the hill, watching the speed crawl up : 50...55...60...60...60...60...:D (and thats in km/h)
After a couple of laps, the clutch is failing. Oops :D

[hyntty]

Fuse's back!

And it wasn't like I got caught in a sandtrap, there was a pile of sand in the middle of the road and the plastic engine room bottom thingy fell off.

[Fuse5]

Ofcourse I'm back. :D
I'll be good to race from the 11th, when i'm back home, happily united with my wheel and broadband :)

[J@tko]

And sorry about that bump at the start Jack - I was too late on the brakes...
No problem at all - I got a shit start anyway - completely missed the lights going green :( Pity cos in the lag start I got a simply amazing start haha :tilt:

I don't think i lost many positions at all cos of it - jammed it into 1st, floored it and I was away :)

[faster111]

oh dear i made 21 yellow flags:schwitz:

[Mike Bingo]

I'm still hacked off that I didn't sort out my skin file in time to join the race, I've solved all my skin file issues and now I'm good for round 2

[JO53PHS]

What was the exact problem you had with the skin? :scratchch

[Mike Bingo]

the skin file was fine offline but when I uploaded it to LFSW to use online it looked like someone had taken the for a driver while the paint was still wet, does that make sense?

[JO53PHS]

Did you try to upload it as .dds?

[Mike Bingo]

Might have been actually, I've bodged my own skinfiles up now so I'm okay for rest of the season.

[J@tko]

As 24 hours have passed, appeals have now closed for this race.

[GreyBull [CHA]]

There is just a problem : I finished 2nd in the first round but I am 10th in the official rankings... : http://www.lfsforum.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=62935&d=1217750828

Haha thats Deko's fault :)

Also he needs to up the experienced class and overall standings :thumbsup:

EDIT: @ Deko - the seperate classes use half points (15 for a win) - its the overall thats uses 30-28-26. :)

[dekojester]

As 24 hours have passed, appeals have now closed for this race.

I will announce the decision in the incident still pending investigation within the next 24 hours.

Until such time the Race Director (me) declares them official, the results are not official and appeals may still be heard, at the discretion of the Race Director, as per the regulations.

Which by the way, updates to the regulations are also coming within the next 24 hours, updates I meant to have finished prioor to Round 1. But taking failing series under the NDR wing basically interfered with that, as well as Kyoto 500 stuff, so these rules updating fell by the wayside.

[hyntty]

Also he needs to up the experienced class

What class? I thought you were the only one?

[J@tko]

What class? I thought you were the only one?
I was in that race ;)

[Dizzydarryn]

thanks for organising this championship. i really enjoyed the first race (except my lcok up and play in the sandtrap, cost me a possible victory/podium)... was gr8 racing all round. its gonna be a great season!

[dekojester]

Yeah, I'm having some issues printing the entire tables to PDF. Excel on the Mac I was using was fsking up.

And the separate points wasn't in the changes to rulebook you sent me. So there.

And lemme get this straight, then - half points, and discounting anyone in the way from other results, so in theory, if the order was, where E=Experience Class Driver and R=Rookie Class Driver:

1st R
2nd E
3rd R
4th R
5th E
6th R

Then I need to allocate points as (Format: Overall || Class):

1st R 30 || 15
2nd E 28 || 15
3rd R 26 || 14
4th R 24 || 13
5th E 22 || 14
6th R 20 || 12

And so on, and so on, ad nauseaum.

If so, get on MSN.

If this is still wrong, get on MSN and tell me how it's done. So I can add it to the rulebook, and make it official.

Yah what you've put up there is right :)

It's in my 'updates to rulebook' thing at home - so I must have forgotten to say that bit :(

Cant really come on msn atm - im @ work :shrug:

Good ! I got it right ! w00t !

So anyway.....you can't come on MSN, but you can spam the LFSFourms. Hmm...

So anyway, yeah, once I unFUBAR the Excel doc and re-PDF it, then it'll be there. Until then, just take those PDFs as an unfortunate casualty of Microsoft's ineptness.

And yeah, I guess I should add that I was pleased with the racing, but one thing irked me.

I was asked several questions in the hour before the race on things that are stated in the regulations. It is a rule that you must read the regulations, and ask clarifying questions is something that is fine, but should be done well and truly before race day. I'll be updating and announcing rule updates in the timeframe specified, and want that everyone reads them. I'm splitting them into the NDR Sporting Code and the LFSBC Regulations (as I meant to do whiles back).

It is indeed your responsibility to know these. I reserve the right to remove anyone from the track who appears to demonstrate a lack of knowledge for the rules. That is part of my duty as Race Director, to make sure the track is safe for everyone to have a clean race. This may even involve parking a car that is way off-pace that I feel may be a hindrance to faster cars, even under blue flags. The only reason I mention this is because of issues I've had in a couple events prior to round 1 of this season, and faster111's pace reminded me of it. Note that I did not feel the need to park him, I felt that he was fast enough to still compete.

Im on now :tilt:

Im bored whilst this computer is self-updating :thumbsup:

[JO53PHS]

Can you notify me of rule changes because I will need to update the copy of the rules upped on the site :thumb:

[dekojester]

The incident with approximately 9 minutes remaining in the Qualifying Session (Prior to Red Flag) involving cars 68 and 333 is deemed an Avoidable incident, caused by car 333 not leaving room for a faster car approaching from behind. Car 333 moved to the inside of the course, then drifted back into the path of car 68.

Driver of car 333 is being issued a WARNING for this incident.

And as of the time of this posting, the results are Official and the window for appeals has closed.

[dekojester]

Regulations have been updated - check the One-Stop Shop thread for the new regs.
