Head-to-Head: 2009 - Just 4 Fun

[Mp3 Astra]

Good evening racefans,

I was thinking about holding a one off single H2H event at some point during the next month. I'd like to gauge interest in this event so if you have any car/track combination suggestions, post here and we'll test them out. No date has been decided yet but it will be on a Saturday at 1900 UTC.

If you use UF1s I'll give you a million pounds :razz:

[EliteAti]

UF1 / Short track with layout... :smileypul

[Mp3 Astra]

We used UF1s in the winter series so it's a possibility. I wish you had offered us 1million pounds 8 months ago. http://www.affordablehousinginstitute.org/blogs/us/dr_evil_one_million_dollars.jpg

[Wilko868]

I shouldn't of mentioned the million pounds should I?

[kart-36]

I would love a UF1 race, none out and many people love racing them, such good close racing :thumb:

UF1 is a great idea :)

[Tomhah]

UF1/short track:thumb:

[aobrien]

Agreed on UF1

[Wilko868]

SO1 is a great track for them too! :tilt:

(Please pick SO1 :razz:)

[n-murray]

yes i think UF1 would be great on FE1 SO1 AS1 :) (any of those in reverse also)

[oldnavy]

yea H2H and UF1 is realy good :)

[andRo.]

I would love to come and try, but I'm not too good with the UF1's.
I would love to have something like FZ5 or XRT, and some SO track. :shrug:

[evilpimp]

LX6 @ AS1R ! The classic!

[pacesetter]

maybe something restricted? Like UF-BR or GT2?

Orrr....... how about as2/fo8 :)

[Wilko868]

LX4 @ SO2r is decent too.

[kart-36]

Hmm i rekon UF1 has most votes :D

FE1 is very good track, but also SO3r, AS1, any short ones really :thumb:

[niall09]

RAC? :D

I think the uf1 round was closest last year, so use uf1 imo.

[BigTime]

Maybe a restricted car would be fun for a one off event? :shrug:

[Chrisuu01]

lets do the MRT5 at south city that shortest track

[pacesetter]

Maybe a restricted car would be fun for a one off event? :shrug:

Yes. +1

[evilpimp]

UF1 with max restriction and max weight @ AS1R (wonder if it'll even manage to pish itself up the hill :P)

[andRo.]

Sorry for asking (I know that you hate this question), but will there be winter series in 2010, and are there any news on how Tim is doing in his trail? Or did he come back already? Sorry if it was posted somewhere already...and sorry for off topic. Just can't wait for the next series. :D

[Mp3 Astra]

There will be a winter series, and Tim will be back at the end of September (I spoke with him just last week, all is well).

As for this event, I can see that UF1 appears to be the most popular choice. I'll have a little think about tracks later.

FE1R, FE1R!

(That's the combo I beat Nolan at :x :D)

"And OMG PATRIK SEIDLER wins? This has to be some sort of mistake".

[zeugnimod]

I still love the tone of your voice when you find out that I got pole. :D

[Chrisuu01]

Lol that was just a epic moment

[LFSn00b]

If this is happening, im in.

[manneF1]

:iagree:

If you accept me...

[Mp3 Astra]

I had actually forgotten about this, since my life got pretty hectic lately. But I'd still like to do the event. I'm seeing that UF1 is the most popular choice, so I'll discuss some track possibilities with the rest of the team.

[CSF]

I thought it was that e-mail I sent you that you wanted out of your head... :shy:

[BigTime]

I have no problem with the UF1, but I personally would like to see a car with a little higher rank in the spectrum of motorsport skill. I still like the idea of restricting a car, but if you guys wanna do UF1s that's fine too. There are a bunch of cars H2H has never done though... :shrug:

As for going back to FE1R with the UF1, well if I remember correctly that wasn't the best H2H event I've ever seen. We had quite a few incidents in the chicane... The final and semi's were pretty epic though... It's a track were even a small mistake can really make or break your race. This could be a good thing, this could be a bad thing, I'm really not sure myself...



I was thinking of different ideas. One thing that really aids the broadcast is having lots of passes. I was thinking it would be cool to have an event where more than one car is used at the same time. Only problem is, there must be two races and PTW is excluded.

For example, XR vs XRG... We go to a track where the XRG is faster (to account for the start difference.)

Round 1
Race 1 - Patrik (XR) vs Me (XRG) - Me starting in the lead.
Race 2 - Patrik (XRG) vs Me (XR) - Patrik starting in the lead.

Winner judged on time.

Really rough idea there... Might have to code some crap too, so... :shrug: The more I think about it the more I dislike it because the PTW really brings a lot of excitement.

[manneF1]

I:bump: it back to life :D

that´s nice idea:scratchch

[Godfather1138]

If you guys don't mind a rookie, I might be interested in running.

[manneF1]

Have any ideas abaut the day?

[Mp3 Astra]

If you guys don't mind a rookie, I might be interested in running.

For sure!

Have any ideas abaut the day?

Always on Saturdays at 1900UTC

[manneF1]

Yes,i know that,but the date:scratchch

[manneF1]

I would like next week saturday:smileypul

[andRo.]

For sure!



Always on Saturdays at 1900UTC

Shouldn't it be at 18:00UTC? Since it's summer timezone now? Otherwise usually I had to race at 21:00, and now it would be 22:00 for me. Not sure if I will be able to make it. :( Or am I mistaking something and UTC is GMT +1? :D

[de Souza]

It's always been 19:00 UTC. :shrug:

[Mp3 Astra]

I'm going to delete all of these stupid time posts and just tell you that...

UTC = GMT

[Mp3 Astra]

utc = gmt

[n-murray]

utc = gmt




Lol. I just proved that it dosent, why are you so stubborn?

[boothy]

Even Eoin (and mustang) know that you're wrong.

[n-murray]

Even Eoin (and mustang) know that you're wrong.

Who??

[CSF]

Smarter specimens than you obviously.

Do you ever not act like a tard?

[Fuse5]

niall, being thick on purpose?

passo - wtf? People provide explanations and comparisons, about the timezones, you replace them with huge UTC=GMT, and leave niall's messages there? :really:

[n-murray]

niall, being thick on purpose?

How am I being thick, omg, I just proved that GMT is not UTC untill after 25th of October and you all start slaging me just cause you know I'm right and your wrong

whenever he deleted any messages he deleted mine too.

You proved that Dublin is currently on a timezone that is one hour ahead of UTC/GMT.

[n-murray]

You proved that Dublin is currently on a timezone that is one hour ahead of UTC/GMT.
no it is on UTC, but GMT+1

[de Souza]

What part of "UTC/GMT Offset" you didn't understand?

[manneF1]

Why it can be that hard?

[Mackie The Staggie]

I have been waiting to use this one.....

http://i31.tinypic.com/2w2ehsh_th.gif

or maybe it was this one....

http://i32.tinypic.com/j929ao.jpg


I'm just not sure :shrug:


For clarification UTC = GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). THIS IS ALWAYS THE CASE AND NEVER....EVER CHANGES.

Currently Britain is on BST (British Standard Time) therefore GMT +1

Therefore if an event was scheduled to take place at 19:00 UTC/GMT then it would take place at 20:00 local time in (Britain) before 25th October 2009.

Any date after the 25th October 2009 it would be 19:00.

See lfsworld (http://www.lfsworld.net/) and check the top left hand of the screen for a local time and UTC comparision.

(I hope I got that right...otherwise my team bosses are going to be pissed at me for making it worse)

[Mp3 Astra]

Niall, just accept you're wrong and go back and spam somewhere else. I'm fed up of little kids like you ruining the entire LFS experience for anyone else who just wants to have some clean racing without controversy every once in a while. You're part of a plague that is gradually overcoming every aspect of the LFS community, and I wish you would stop, and piss off to some other community where your useless imput will be appreciated, because it certainly isn't appreciated here. I know I am not alone in thinking this; and this applies to all the other kids and adults alike who act like morons on this forum and in servers. You are ruining lfs.

This is what I was waiting, thanks for saying it finally.

And please don't delete my posts anymore, who ever did it, it wasn't smart. I was explaining you the thing, and you couldn't answer.
Why I asked that is because UTC/GMT in summer is one hour back than it is in winter, so if it would happen in UTC/GMT in summer, for me it would be 1 hour later than in winter. But if it's like Mackie said, then it's good. I was just waiting for an answer, but you deleted my post and couldn't answer it properly. :)

And when I was in LFSProseries.net, they had it at the same time UTC 19:00, but when it changed to summer time then they wrote UTC 18:00 so it would be at the same time which was correct, unlike you did. :)

Thanks, bye. Let's stop offtopic now, even if it wasn't offtopic. :P

Best thing to do if you are ever unsure is to look at LFS World and as I said it will have the local time to UTC comparision in the top left.

A god send in my early days of league racing, just woefully unkown by many.

[de Souza]

@andRo.

One thing I forgot to say earlier when I quoted you: just remember that the place you live being in summer time doesn't mean the rest of the world is.

Heck, we are/were on winter down here.

The event time must consider this. It should be doable for the most people everywhere, and we found that 19:00UTC is quite alright. So sorry if you can't 1 hour later.


@Passo: that's what I'm talking about.

How am I ruining lfs by telling you guys about the timezones?, anyway I'm sick of arguing as you can just keep deleting the posts and overruling everyones opinions.

I have a JCB if you want it.

[pearcy_2k7]

Is it a red one? i hate yellow...

[manneF1]

Should you make timezone thread for this?
Keep this in H2H:nod:

[manneF1]

:bump:

[Chrisuu01]

Is this stil happening at all?

[manneF1]

I was going to ask the same:schwitz:

[de Souza]

Please be patient. Passo is at uni, I have my work and studies, Tim just got back.

We're pretty short on time, but we'd like to get this going (emphasis on "we'd like"). At this moment all I can say is that we don't know when it'll happen.

Any news, we'll post here. :)

[manneF1]

ok,great:)

[Mp3 Astra]

Yep, apologies for my lack of communication here. Du explained it pretty much perfectly. We'll post here when we get something sorted out.

[n-murray]

Any news/info on when/if this is gona happen yet?

[blackbird04217]

When I get the real internet back - and then get a server, and get organized for it to happen. It is in the plans, but first I need a job, relocation and the real internet vs what I have now.

[jasonmatthews]

We would love to help there Tim, just say the word ;)

[n-murray]

We would love to help there Tim, just say the word ;)

Ye I'm sure there is alot of people with spare servers lying around, most of the big teams would, Id say. Also I'd say ALOT of people would be willing to help u run/admin the event (including me but 1)I want to compete in it and 2) i'm not sure much people would want me as an admin) :shrug:

[blackbird04217]

I know enough people are there to give a hand both with servers and administration but the thing is my internet can't handle it, and though I trust Michael and de Souza enough to run things I want to be there, both as an administrator and participant. I know H2H will make a comeback the timing is questionable though.

[shaun463]

I can also offer a server.

[zeugnimod]

I know H2H will make a comeback the timing is questionable though.

Round 1: VWS/RO3? :D

[shaun463]

In our dreams, Zeug :D. Head2Head was great fun even though I was crap. I am slightly slower now, but much cleaner and with a better attitude :D.

[Drift King CZ]

We need to get this back son.

[blackbird04217]

It was close to happening, and we fiddled with the idea of doing it this weekend, but it was delayed too long before deciding so nothing will be done. Unfortunately I won't have access to the 'real' internet again in two weeks time, and next weekend (the last possible weekend for me to run it), a lot of people will be going to the LFS Karting Meet - of which I am jealous.

Long story short, I would like to have a one off event, or even bring back the series really, but I haven't had time. Not having a truly stable job is putting a serious pinch on that as well, but there isn't much I can do- especially since when I don't have a job (this one ends in 2 weeks) I will be living with my parents (cheaper rent) and they don't have access to an internet connection capable of racing (or any online multiplayer game in a real-time sense).

[Drift King CZ]

Maybe someone else can take over.

[Chrisuu01]

Maybe someone else can take over.
I would be willing to do that if you consider that an option blackbird?.

[CSF]

Well you just missed a H2H style event Chris... :razz:

Which was a silly rip-off of the real one.

[CSF]

In what way? :really:


Real head to head is and always will be SRS's baby, so someone like you with no experience asking to take it over is silly.

[GreyBull [CHA]]

There we go again:rolleyes::D

[blackbird04217]

Which was a silly rip-off of the real one.

It wasn't a silly event. For what it's worth CSF and Boothy did a fair job at running it. The participants behaved very well, and it was a decent time.

As for Head-to-Head, I promise it will return. Unless I die or something seriously limits my use of a computer - it will return. "When" is the question, the answer is; as soon as I get a stable lifestyle going again, as I'm still on a pretty bumpy ride from my little adventure last year.

[Drift King CZ]

The participants behaved very well, and it was a decent time.

At some point - yes :D. Well, we had fun, but recall of Dennis' vuvuzela shouting lol.

[Chrisuu01]

In what way? :really:

I raced in al head to head racing series NDRC and some MOe events:thumbsup:.
I have organised Honda bike events so I know what organising is.

So you did a good job that makes me somewhat sorry I wasn't there although the vuvuzela makes me think I'm lucky god I hate those things...

Now lets hope mister Tim Baudet does no die of the continuous exposure to vuvuzela's.
