To enter the TBO Challenge 2020, make a post here giving your requested car number, LFS license name, your real name, your nationality, your car selection, and your team name. Separate each field with a /, no space between the text of the field and the /. You may use "TBA" for your car selection if you have yet to decide. Example:

42/dekojester/Jonathan Palmer/United States/RB4/New Dimension Racing

Any number 2-99 is free for selection. Number 1 is reserved for Ramon Blauwhoff (ChristijaNL), the champion of the 2010 TBO Challenge.

Signups are open NOW, and will close 2 hours and 5 minutes prior to each round, and not open again until 2 hours following each meeting's conclusion.

Licence Requirements for Drivers

No NDR Licence Grade limitation.
You will need a minumum of an S1 LFS License to participate.

Entries are tracked in the attached PDF. This PDF is updated at least once daily, when changes are necessary.

Numbers highlighted in orange are conflicted, and that entrant needs to change their number. They have been directly notified.

A car selection marked in Bold is to inform that the driver has appeared in that car in a session of the season, and must remain in that car or forfeit all points earned up to the change.

I have found what appears to be a bug in pit stop reporting, where a takeover is involved.

Here is some logging from my tracking app (irrelevant lines redacted):


It appears that the PSF packet reports the time since TOC as STime, not the entire pitstop time, as it does when there is not a TOC involved.

I can work around this with some extra programming, but this does not seem to be as designed.
