F1RST Racing team info magazine - 24 hours of Aston GP

[traxxion]

Hi everyone,

For the upcoming 24 hour race in the Masters of Endurance series, the live stream commentators have asked all teams to provide them with some background information on the team and a guide for pronouncing the driver names. During the creation, more and more ideas sprang to mind and very soon the simple document turned into a magazine-like brochure, which we think might be an interesting read for not just the commentators, but the whole community.

Please find below a list of contents and the download link:

Preface by F1RST Racing's team manager René van der Kooij

Mr. Thomas Falke has been deceiving us by running under an alias I see... But luckily the cunning guys at F1RST discovered the truth :scratchch

[dan926]

[UncleBenny]

Wow, great job on the magazine. Also very cool to see that Victor plans on watching the 24 hour race. With all the complaining that can happen in the forums, I always hoped the devs realize how many great leagues are based around LFS and its community.

Spoiler alert! :D
But yeah, this was also something I've always wanted to ask the devs! :) And the answer was of course very satisfying.. To know that the developers have this close connection with the community is just great to hear. Thanks for your comment!

[evilpimp]

Nice magazine and good luck to F1RST in the 24hr race :).

[Mp3 Astra]

Already told traxxion via PM, but I am very impressed by this little magazine. It's currently printing as I type and I will probably use quite a lot of it during the long, lonely hours one must spend as a commentator.

But yes, this is very useful for me indeed - all other teams take note! :D

[Chrisuu01]

That was one hell of an awsome megazine

[[DUcK]]

twas quite a good read, good luck in MoE fellas :)

[Speedy Pro]

Good read, guys, very enjoyable! Keep it up and best of luck in the race! :thumb:

[Kristjan.J]

[JasonL220]

Nice work :thumb::thumb:

[sebastiaanlooijen]

That looks great, keep it up mates!
And I didn't knew that Thommm sounded like a Pet Shop Boy :D

[traxxion]

Many thanks for the comments everyone, it's been quite fun to make this, but it makes it even more fun to see that you've enjoyed it!
Too bad the GT1 dream didn't come true due to a number of incidents, but GT2 made up for it with a brilliant win! :)
And... just to let you know.. Bas kept his promise:

Finally, in one sentence, describe what you're doing on Sunday the 25th of January at 16:00h? (http://www.1stracing.nl/temp/bas.wav)

:D

[UnknownMaster21]

Can i say a word?

Excellent... Seems MoE is going better and better about higher skills and quality of the race. :thumb:


And yeah...I am interested about when will have released some LeMans - race cars? Then i would say Oh Yeah! (Sorry a bit offtopic, but must say)

[XRRoy]

It was a good read Rene, funny to see those faces again ;)

[fujiwara]

After reading it ... i tried to beat Nieminen mark, but i only got aprox. 3200m :tilt:, not 1ST i guess :D.

[auch_enne]

Hehe good old times (for me that is). To bad GT1 didn't work out but rember you started the team for the fun of racing :x


Good luck to all of you in the next race!

[Hallen]

Yes, it was very nicely done. MoE should require something like this for all teams, especially for the 24h races. As a viewer, it makes it more interesting when you know something about the team and the drivers.

Also, great job on the 24h race. The telecast was great, DWB was fun to listen to, and kudos to Appie and the rest of the Admins/Marshals. It is a thankless job, but nothing could happen without them.
