I would guess that it will be the summer series, so somewhere around June/July most probably.

blackbird04217

12th February 2009, 20:24

I havnt competed in any of the last four rounds as i would get a pm the day of the event so i missed it every time but really want to do it so could someone tell me when the next series is as it says that this is the last round.

There was a schedule, with the dates, and times, of each event. Why would you wait until the PM of the server and password to plan the event? I can't say when the next series will be held yet, although I know when I want to hold it; the help of others is something I depend on and the admin staff may be too busy to do it when I want to. There will be another one though, I will promise that. As long as LFS is still alive... Which it should stay that way!

good luck to the other drivers :tilt:

Our biggest fear was to have any driver have to drop out because of IGTC, and now our fears have been realised.

evilpimp

15th February 2009, 16:34

Yeah really sucks cuz the last event is THE best event on the calendar, always. This combo is a classic now... Really sucks that IGTC had to make their first event at the same time...

oh I know that there was a schedule I just forgot to look at it all of the time. Like I'm not saying it was anyones fault besides my own sorry mate for making that impression and thanks I will be sure to try do the next series.

15th February 2009, 22:58

Our biggest fear was to have any driver have to drop out because of IGTC, and now our fears have been realised. Although I suspect that's not the only reason you've bailed out.

Whatever are his reasons, too bad the big leagues don't give a damn about the smaller ones or the teams/drivers that take part on the smaller ones, even when the smaller ones win the best new league award and have drivers from the top teams.

What's worse is that a 20 minutes research would be enough to avoid such situation and everyone would benefit from it... It's not that hard, specially when your races are spread over several months.

de Souza

15th February 2009, 23:21

Rudy, think with me.. :razz:

You are 26 points behind, so one possibility would be: you win the event and Nolan gets eliminated in 2nd round with worst time.

Ok this is not very likely, so if you can grab the pole position, he can be eliminated in 2nd round with the best time and you still win. Grab the best lap too and we can have a tie if he's out on semifinals!

People getting knocked out earlier than they should happens all the time, and they've certainly happened to Nolan a few times already. :D

Not that I want either one to win, but it's a shame to lose a championship contender simply because he doesn't feel he can win. Your chances are much higher than those you claim to have, specially with the LX6, that you are very good with.

And I'm sure your team can handle themselves on the GTR side just fine. :shrug:

I've already complained to the admins of IGTC who already moved events for the Kyoto 500 conflict, but they couldn't do anything about the finale of Head-to-Head... Odd, considering the effect it is having on us...

I personally don't have a problem with it. Even if you plan on running 3 hours in the IGTC race, you might still have time to run both. Still, this kind of stuff shouldn't be scheduled like that. In all honesty, IGTC shouldn't start until after the MoE season IMO. :shrug:

Enough talking about which series clashes with what (in the end, theres only 1 series that matters)....I need to see other peoples times to judge how well (or crap, as the case normally is) I'm doing :D:D

Standing start: 1:01.xx (cant remember the fine details, but it's in the high numberes)

Flying Lap: PB is 56.47 although i should be breaking into the 55's soon (he hopefully states)

niall09

17th February 2009, 21:50

I have done some hotlaps, my pb is 54.4

I haven't done a lap from standstill yet.

evilpimp

17th February 2009, 22:05

I did like 5 laps like a week ago and beat my pb already. Down to 54.9. I think that I can get low-ish 54s or mid. Will have to see. :)

55.6x still from the practice right after the last event. Should be able to get high 54's with more practice.

First i was like "he had shifting trouble" but then i got it.. and couldn't help my self but laugh (a bit:tilt:).

So finally i got into second round, though it wasn't with help of my skill.:D
But then i failed with Nolan.:schwitz:

The rest was some great and thrilling racing, loved it into last bits.

And all in all it was great season, thanks to SRS guys, you did great job, not only with that H2H system. :)

Congratz Nolan :thumb: Most consistant throughout :)

This man speaks the truth.

--------------------------

Bit of a bad season for me, connection issues during the second and third events, then I was beaten by Patrik (:shrug:), but what a nice finale.

My qualify was better than expected. I said something like "I hope to get a low 55" these days but 55.0 was pretty nice indeed and awarded me with... erm... I don't remember what position.

Chris at the first round... Had a bad T1 but wasn't that far behind when he did a mistake at the chicane. I tried to go as fast as I could to get a half decent time but it didn't work.

Andris at the second round... Because of the previous slow time I had to start in front of him, and apart from being very nervous I could keep a safe distance untill the finish line. Second race was more exciting, I actually passed him but was soooo close to spin it on the last corner! He passed back but thankfully my combined time was better. Great races!

Dave at the semifinal... Counted this one as a lose already, as Dave is truly a monster with the LXs. But I thought I could try to give him some competition.
Oddly enough I had a better time than him on the previous round so I started behind, and wow... I could actually keep up with him! I don't know how but in the end of the two races I won! :shy:

Nolan at the final... My revenge for the last season's finale? Unlikely. But since weird things were happening and I got nothing to lose, I decided to go for it.
Disgrace on the first race as I made a lot of mistakes and he won with a big gap.
Disgrace on the second race as he passed me fairly easily and won. At least I was close behind him this time.
WOW on the third race as I started behind, kept up with him and had a chance at the last corner. "It's gotta be now!!" I thought, as the car slided gently in front of him enough to slow me down and don't leave him any spaces for a comeback, while providing me with a good exit. I swear the car did that alone.
And great forth race as I started ahead and had a good pace, but some crazy understeer 2 corners before the finish line complicated things a bit when Nolan came putting his nose again to make a pass. Managed to keep it cool and things worked out at the end. Lost on combined time but very very good stuff!

--------------------------

I want to thank everyone who joined us this season and I hope you had a good time!
It gets very frustrating at times when things go wrong and all you can do is watch others advance when you should. But that's the deal with this series, and that's what makes it different. No time to fix things, you gotta get it right at the first time!

Winning or losing, more losing than winning for me, it's always a pleasure to share the track with such great drivers. Thanks again everyone! :thumb:

Oh and thanks Sonicrealms for supporting this series!

Thanks to all the SRS team for organising a great winter season of racing, H2H has been the first league I've entered and despite not doing very well I'll definitely be back in the summer.

Well done to Nolan and everyone else, too.

You put up some seriously good competition tonight, nice driving mate. I think you had the 2nd fastest time of the event, which is really good.

As for myself, I hate to make excuses but I had been driving the FZR around Blackwood about an hour before the event started, and I never really got fully connected with the (LX6) car during the 1 lap races. It's very easy to overdrive the LX6 as much as I like it, and that's what I ended up doing. Still, I enjoyed it, and de Souza deserved the 2nd place, looks like you gave Nolan a good run for his money too. :tilt:

All in all this season has been very much up and down for me, with the majority being down TBH. The organisation etc though has been very very good, now bring on the All-star cup I say!! :D

niall09

22nd February 2009, 00:32

WOW! I made it to the semifinals on a PTW... Niall, did you let me, because that was insane. I knew i had the launch, and shoved it into the first turn nice and tight, but I didn't really think I would hold you back.

Of course I let you win, I had IGTC to watch!! :p Nah, you deserved it, you got a very decent start and a good overtake at T1. I just couldn't keep up then. You were very good on this combo :)

Overall, this season was brilliant. Nice and light hearted racing with an extremely competitive edge (maybe too competitive at times... :p ). This is the first league that I have consistently done well in. Before it started, I was thinking a top 5 overall finish would be great, and to come away provisionally 2nd, I'm thrilled. The organisation was top notch, the drivers were great, the system was flawless, no waiting around and everything got done in time. Thanks admins for running a special league :thumb:

Lastly, congratz to Nolan. A worthy winner, most consistant throughout, never made a slipup and was always blindingly fast - great stuff :)

Bring on next season :thumb:

The stats page will take a bit longer as I'll use that for the new system we plan to use to mange the website. :shhh:

Ehh, penalty...Sry Dawe, I kind of also made you get a penalty, when I said sry and you replied to me. :( It's just that I always press the button automatically, so I can't really stop myself from doing it. Only if I change the buttons.

What are those bonuses? How do you earn them? Being at every round etc. right?

Anyway, thank you for everything. I'm happy about my results, I don't think I could of done anything better even if I would get to the 1st round. :thumb:

Can someone plz post the replays when you have some free time? I want to make few pictures from the event.

de Souza

22nd February 2009, 17:27

Well the penalty didn't change your position, so see it as a "hey, pay more attention next time!" :) And the bonuses are explained on the "points system" link of our website.

You should be happy, did pretty well in your first season. :thumb:

blackbird04217

22nd February 2009, 17:32

My penalty changed my position, can I take back those points since I learned my lesson? :D (please?)

Nah, but the replays will be up sometime tonight, I've already renamed them and such just need to put them up here. In the future we will have everything on the Head-to-Head website and that will be the access point for replays, results, standings etc... Thank-you all for participating and supporting the series; now soon to hold the Allstar Cup...

In all seriousness though I will figure out the invites and send them out this week. If you can not make it please let me know so I can use the invite for someone else. If you can make it, please make sure you will be there. This will be broadcasted live and I need to make sure the people who get in will be there. More info can be found in the Allstar Cup thread of the Head-to-Head section.

FYI...on the round results image (http://simracers.50webs.net/h2h/results/H2HWS09%20Round5%20Results.png), the Semi-Finals show Tim Beaudet listed as "WINNER" and Nolan Scott listed as "Eliminated". :nod:

The website (http://simracers.50webs.net/h2h/) is now fully updated with all events listed and reported (apart from event 3, coming later).

Very nice. I like the descriptions for every round. Very good job done, it's pretty interesting to read about every round. Just found a small mistake in the event 4 topic. "The finals would be run between Adris Pavars..." Adris -> Andris. :nod:

Just to point out some errors. Round 4 report says:

In qualifying, David Williams was able to secure the top spot. He, however, would* make it to the finals of the event. David Williams was knocked out in dramatic fashion in Round 1, by Michael Passingham. Michael was extremely defensive and David Williams simply couldn't find a way round in a very close fought battle. The finals would be run between Andris Pavars**.

*I think you meant wouldn't.
**Looks like you cut this sentence a little to soon.

And just out of curiosity... Where is round 3?

Great work overall guys, everything is looking really good on the site.

BTW, I will release my end of season statement soon.

In Event 3 report, you have my name spelled incorrectly. It's McEvoy, not MacEvoy

Funny how I didn't even write event 3 yet... :razz:

Once again, sorry. I'm going to delete these posts once I stop failing.

Oops... That's what happens when you do a rushed update. Thanks guys.

That's no problem. :) It's looking good now.
