Hello Race Fans!

New Dimension Racing are pleased to announce a special event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of New Dimension Racing, the TBO Challenge (TBOC)!

The series was originally created by the IMA team, which former NDR Member (and still NDR Friend) Chris "Wilko868" Wilkinson and company ran in 2009, before Chris brought it as part of New Dimension Racing.

We have decided that a revival event for the TBOC would be a great end cap for 2017, and a perfect way to celebrate 10 years of New Dimension Racing. We will run the event on Saturday, December 30th, with qualifying starting at 18:00 UTC. The event will take place at Blackwood Historic, with the Sprint Race being 16 laps (52.8 km) in distance, and the Feature Race being 26 laps (85.8 km) in distance. Sign ups, rules, etc will be forthcoming in separate threads.

We hope you join us!

Please post a skin with your selected and approved car number on the hood and doors. The hood number should be readable from facing the front of the car, angled alignment is permitted. The TBOC logo and NDR logo are included for convenience if you wish to add them to your skin. You are only required to display your car number, all else is free.

Please post your skins here, with the exact name as they are on LFSWorld, but post 2048x2048 resolution here.

You may find the TBO Challenge Regulations on the NDR website.

TBO Challange Regulations


The NDR Sporting Code contains some things that will be applied when judging incidents etc, but the main carry points are in the TBOC Rules, but worth a look at the Sporting Code if you're not already somewhat familiar with it.


Some important things:

Car, Skins, and Name Format

FXO must carry 6% intake restriction, the XRT 2% intake restriction, RB4 none required
Make sure your car skin has your car number on the hood and doors
Name format: 00 J. Palmer, white or no colour number, coloured name allowed

Championships and Points

Drivers championship, all rounds count.
Teams championships, all rounds count - best 2 drivers per team score in each race, no bonus points awarded.

Races

Penalties must be served within 3 laps (max 3 crosses of S/F line) and admins may apply time, position, grid, points or more extreme penalties if the situation merits

Hello LFSers!

With amazement, we realize that in a month's time, December 28th, 2017 marks 10 years since the founding of New Dimension Racing. It began as an idea for a Beginner's league, brought up by our good friend and founding member Jack "J@tko" Atkinson, and helped by Joseph "JO53PHS" Ellis and Jonathan "dekojester" Palmer. It became arguably one of the best recognised and respected league organisers in Live for Speed. We'll spare you the full history lesson for now.

We are discussing an event to celebrate this occasion, to be held in our original simulator, Live for Speed. Details are still being ironed out, but expect an announcement in the coming days.

For now, feel free to share your memories of NDR, some of your top NDR moments (best races, admin moments, broadcast moments, etc) in this thread.

Yay! It's not just me who makes mistakes when upgrading promotional images!

I wish I had a media coordinator for NDR all these many years, would have helped the workload greatly!

I have used the LFS Dedicated Server exe with linux and wine without issue for several years. In my experience, it's the single best dedicated server software in the titles I've tried. It's all configured in text files, no need for a GUI to make the server sing.

DriftGoat: You will be best off redownloading the installer and extracting it again to restore the original content. Download it from https://www.lfs.net/downloads if you need it.

Closing thread.

Tracker on website is updated finally, I'm sorry I didn't get to it the last couple rounds....the work I had to do for my station's coverage of the US election caused my brain to melt....I had to let it come back until Thanksgiving weekend here

Yes, apart from you must NOT use R4 tyres. All other items are free, although you may be required to carry ballast if you finish well enough.

Entries are now closed. If you need to withdraw, or change something on your entry, please PM me here on the fourms.

Disregard, for now, entries will close at 16:15 UTC. Allowing extra time for anyone who is in server now who wants to race. We're at 31 entries as of this writing, we can handle several more before hitting our need to pre-qual.

Penalty Log

Hello racers, welcome to the iTCC Holiday Special! Please feel free to discuss the race here. Do take note of the following briefing notes.

Spirit of the Event: We usually ask for no contact, but we understand that some is to be expected in touring car style racing. What we still do not want to see is excessive contact to put a driver off-line so that you can gain a massive advantage, and you still should not try and "help" someone get further out of shape if you can help it. Hard racing induces some door banging and "chrome horns" - but keep it sensible and don't tread wild on the other racers. We want to see hard racing, but please keep it fair.

Race Meeting Points: Points will be awarded per regulations, and a Champion of the Meeting will be awarded.

Ballast: No driver will have ballast for Race 1. Ballast for Race 2 will be awarded based on Race 1 result. Ballast for Race 3 will be awarded based on the points tabulation after Races 1 and 2.

Post-Race Procedure: Following each race, top 3 must report to start/finish for a podium photo. After the podium photo following Race 3, the top 3 in points will be called to start/finish for a photo.

Since we have less than 39 entries, the Reserve Shootout is not necessary. It will still run as scheduled, but will not be anything other than an officially scored free practice.

This should make the "real" part of the event fit within a two hour window.

17:00 UTC: Reserve Shootout - 30 minutes qual, splitting >30 drivers over multiple servers run concurrently, top 39 drivers get to the grid
