I thought a possible disconnect or shift+p for the leader was the reason for scrapping the 1000km races, so "It probably won't happen" seems a little inconsistant considering that earlier decision.

its also better to think about the worst case scenario before the race i mean look at this thread:
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=4357

everything is so thought out so i think this is the only right decision to make it a 6hours race...u never know whats going to happen so better prepare for the worst case scenario

but that wont solve his problem that his xbox 360 turns on though :/

I would like to apply too...

raced with ya yesterday, was good fun

but only a maximum of 1 lap more where as in lapped races it can become more than just one...coz the race wont finish if noone hits the 250 laps but in a timed race it ends after 6 hours even people are in the 2nd lap for example

You should've followed the other threads joe

all 1000 KM races will be 6 hours races now.
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=568844#post568844

so i guess the start time for them will be noon like usual

didnt i just say BEFORE? ^^

it will be released just before Duke Nukem will be done

while u've edited the south city one u can also edit the kyoto one to 6 hours then

well yea but thats not a problem at all since i for myself never select the laps / qualifying and track like that...i always use the /laps XYZ, /qual XYZ, /track XYZ command in the lobby

but thats good with the /laps command during the race...that way the admins could end the race when the leader (according to the tracker) is on the final lap.

well in the lobby u could make it with: /laps 249
it works in the lobby aswel as ingame then..

what happened after u finished that 2nd lap? Was the race finished or did it just go on?

oh something just got into my mind...erm...
as the /laps XYZ command also works while racing is on maybe lets say (the leader is in the final lap but suffered disconnects) but the one in second (leading on the server)is 2 laps down so he's in lap 246 which would be (for the actual leader) the 248th and final lap.

So while in that lap would it be possible to type in /laps 246 (instead the 248) so when the one in first (on the server) finishes that lap the race is over.

Gotta try that out tomorrow. Driving a few laps then changing the laps to the one im in and see if the race finishes after i crossed the finish line.

well lets say due to disconnects / shif+p's the race wont be a 1000km race anymore but a 1014 km race (or basicaly just a few laps more than 248/249) it could either be finished with everyone having a few laps more or that after the race the admins look through the trackers log and any laps that were completed after the winning team finished theirs will be taken away.

The only problem with such a 1000km / 248/249 laps race would be when the leaders have disconnects / shift+p's...of course when nothing happens to the leading team there shouldnt be a problem at all but what IF something big happens...u never know

its been mentioned already somewhere that they will calculate the laps. So according to lfs.net So_Long is 2.5 miles long so that makes it 4.02336 kilometers.

1000 km / 4.02336 km = 248,5 laps.
I guess the server will then be set to 248 / 249 laps (something around that)

But what just got into my mind is...what if the leader is a lap or 2 ahead of everyone else and then suffers a disconnect / shift+p then everyone would have to do more laps till anyone on the server finishes the 248/249 laps. Maybe we got to work with the tracker all the time during the race to get a proper finish. So whenever the leader hits the 248/249 laps in the Tracker everyone may complete their lap and then its finished...without having to care if someone _on the server_ finishes all the laps.

as we have enough spectator slots i would say allow people to join the server in the lap their driver comes in for a driverchange.

Quote from ATic ATac :

Well, he won Michael Schumacher twice, so according to that Schumy would be the most overrated 7 times world champion ever -lol, jk-

Anyway, consider that Alonso won with a renault, with a much smaller budget than ferrari and McLaren. Then he arrives to McLaren - team with a few years without winning - and suddenly both of their cars are at the top of the championship.... and renault goes back to the middle of the grid

That says something in favour of Alonso

Maybe its because Mclaren Mercedes was driving with a McFerrari chassis? ^^

You guys should not forget that yesterday Ron Dennis announced that ProDrive will be supplied with the McFerrari chassis and Mercedes engine. That might give Alonso a place to retreat?

Midland and Super Aguri did a full F1 season last year without getting any points. And looking up the rules which everyone accepted by applying it looks like P18 = 0 points. Last season if an FZR got 17th they would have scored 0 points aswel.

while ure talking about improving stuff phil...
i know its probably not the place here but an updated website also attracts more people ^^ Ive been waiting all of last season that the website is running properly with all the functions working but as were already in season 3 it would be nice if stuff gets working there now (dont see my post negative or as a complain...just a little reminder )

they are with them already

lookin at the signups / invited teams / last qualifying / numbers and other threads i see team #12 running an FZR. In todays qualifying they qualified in an XRR, hmz?! They even qualified in an FZR last qualy session.

I have to agree with Blackout here, doesn't make sense to me - but if it's the way to go, I'll live with it. Looks like cutting to me though

i guess its because of that:
when the green stuff would count as curb then u would end up with your left wheels on the speedbumps...so when u stay "legal" u dont touch the speedbumps at all.

for the 2nd turn there is no speedbump...but gravel that slows u down anyways so there the green stuff is of no matter and therefor legal.

at least thats how i think the admins based their decision on.

ure refering to a different track now...why dont just stay on the KY3 topic?

btw i gotta agree with traxxion completely

u cant see anywhere that it says theres a planned numberplate?
rules just say u the number has to be visible on the side of the car and the hood (afaik)
noone used a special numberplate last season...only the sunstrip logo was used!

friday is in a few days...thats why there was nothing announced concerning friday yet...
afaik the rules say. the sunday before the race and friday before the race...

it was the 6hours of Aston GT race ben not the "one of the 24h races" (theres just one anyways )
