Improvement suggestions for Season 2

[TFalke55]

Hi... I know it was a bit quiet the past time... but I hope you're able to remember Season 1, sothat it can be improved in season 2 :thumb:
one thing will be changed: The Oval Races will be longer.

I think the road to season 2 begins right here right now. :D

Well for one thing, we somehow need to get more of the entrants to turn up, or just get more entrants all together :shrug:

You should spam LFSCART info onto every LFS related forum you know :D

[TFalke55]

I can release some information about the next season:

Three Oval Races: the SpeedWeek 400 (220 laps), The 2009 Kyoto 500 (270 laps), the Clockwise 300 (170 laps) with no Sprint Race
A bit longer feature races: stepping up from 75mi to 100mi and shortened qualifying, instead of 20min Session, a 10 min session.
The Jamaica 200 as an Endurance Race at Fern Bay Black (50 laps)

A pitwindow for the feature races' manantory pitstops.
New Rules concerning tyres.

Oval races will be all under the same rules (exept: double file start in the SpeedWeek 400 and the Clockwise 300, triple file in the Kyoto 500)

A point scheme wich rewards everyone who starts

One of these logos will be the official one:

Logo 1 is last year's logo, with the 2009 instead of the 2008

Logo 2 is based on the ChampCar Logo of 2003

Logo 3 is based on this year's NASCAR Sprint Cup Logo

The Nations Cup will get its 2nd chance. The points are now given based on the position the first of a nation finishes.

Road to Victory and Oval Cup Awards will be given to the best Road Course and to the best Oval racer at the end of the season.

Max. 4 racers per Team per Race, max 6 racers per Team per Season. (But the possibility to found a 2nd team stays)

#1 can only be used by A.Erikson
#2, #3, #4 can be used by Formula Racing. As alternative, they have got the first picks to choose their Starting Numbers.
#01 can only be used by B.Goga for winning the Kyoto 500 (Season 09, the winner of the Oval Award will get this right)
M.Agari will get the second pick to choose his starting number for winning the Road to Victory Cup

Skin must include the Flag and the IOC country code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IOC_country_codes) on the side plates of the rear wing. BUT: The United Kingdom will be split in the Nations Cup into England (ENG) Wales (WAL) Scotland (SCO) and Northern Ireland (NIR) (not a final decision)

Number three! The best by far. Unless you do something to that cheesy irl logo in #2

[pacesetter]

I am seriously considering doing the next season coming up :thumb:

[TFalke55]

I attatched a skin wich basically shows all "madentory" stickers in its positions. ( ["09"] = Starting Number, [LFSlogo+"LFS"] = Flag + nat. code, Indy-thingy)
The Nations' codes and flags are attatched in the LFSCART_Stickers.zip together with the "indy-thingy".
Other Nations will be made when the Sign-Ups are opened.

About the Safety Car Procedure:
The Safety Car is going to be slowed down to maximumly 80mph (130kph). On road courses there will be a maximum of 3 Laps behind the Safety Car on Road Courses. So called Rescue Cars are given the task to get flipped cars back on their wheels (still NO RESET) if they don't succed before the safety car reaches it's inlap, the flipped car is out.

About Qualifying:
Generally it will be forbidden to use walls or glitches etc. to warm up the tyres. spins and sliding can be judged as dangerous driven and can cause penalties, depending on the situation.

About Nations Cup:
The Nations Cup is going to use the (new) Drivers' Championship finishing point system. The nations ranking is based on the finish of the best driver. E.g.:
Race Results
Sweden
Finland
England
England
Finland
United States
Scotland
Germany
United States
Greece
Sweden
Mexico
Ireland
Japan
Australia


Nations Cup:

50pts - Sweden
40pts - Finland
36pts - England
33pts - United States
30pts - Scotland
27pts - Germany
24pts - Greece
22pts - Mexico
20pts - Ireland
18pts - Japan
17pts - Australia

Nations' Cup, Drivers' Championship and Teams' Championship standings are going to be updated through the season. Road To Victory Cup Results will be published after the last road race and the Oval Trophy results are going to be published after the last race of the season. The Road To Victory Cup only counts the best three (road) races of a driver, so it can also award drivers who decide to join, even during the season.

Race distance:
The race distance is set to final at least one week before the race. 75% of the race distance must be completed to count the race with full points. Otherwise only half points will be given for the race. In the case of an server chrash the results (times) of the parts will be counted together. If the server chrashes the lap before the server chrashed counts. The race clock will tick down, even when the server chrashed, sothat there won't be too heavy big delays for the racers. The maximum race durations are: Sprint: 30 mins, Feature race*: 75mins, Jamaica 200*: 150mins, SpeedWeeks 400*: 210mins, Clockwise 300*: 180mins, Kyoto 500: no limit

(*=counted from the real [rolling] start)

If i get another member can we make a team Holland?

[TFalke55]

yes... no problem with having a Team called "Holland" :) as long as you don't have offensive names you can name your team however you want to name it...

in the ChampCar World Series there was also a team called Team Australia, and me and my team mate (wanted to) start under the name Team Deutschland in the UF baby-R Season 2

[TFalke55]

I'm actually in talks with the OWRL, we won't have schedule conflicts with the OWRL Division A during the upcoming season. I hope to be able to announce the dates soon. There will be several pre-season Events to fill the time, which will not count towards the championship.

also I like to announce that a modifyed version of Logo 3, will be the official for the next season.

By the way: ;)

"CART light" is buried somewhere in my garden... so this won't be the killer of LFSCART
