Not a protest!
I was so damn carefull this time, so I didn`t had a chance to compete.
My race set is slow, and was loaded with fuel, which was a burden concerning so much SC laps (left with 20% after finish).
My only driving mistake involved contact with car 6 at some point of race. Sorry m8 for closing you at start/finish, saw too late that I didn`t left enough room for you.
Glad that you didn`t suffer too much damage after that, and was able to continue.
In lap 27, I was spuned by car 33 during SC. When I looked at replay, it seams that he didn`t touched me, but I was catapulted. I`m afraid that was some lag issue, or LFS bug, so no hard feelings m8. If I was lagging, I`m very sorry for that.
I would like to point out to some bad things that is repeating and hope that Race Control would try to solve it:
1. If SC is on track, there`s no overtaking, speed is limited,etc...
Q: Is it allowed to leave a pack after T3, then slam the throttle and rush towards the pit entrance with 200mph, while others are doing 85mph?
2. Please try to solve "speed limit" issue during SC, `cause nobody maintains constant speed, and nobody leaves enough gap between the cars. There was so many back slams and Yellow flags during SC, it`s embarrassing to broadcast.
3. Can you move people from ventrilo to some other "room" if they`re gonna shout while "team drafting" (eg. "go inside now, not now, i don`t have enough speed", etc...). I`m sure that RC can speak to them even if the others can`t.
It wasn`t so distracting, but better to stop it now.

I`m S2 licenced, but can`t get my signature to work.
Tried to find info but seems that I`m missing something or I`m just too dumb to understand how that works, hehe

Hello racers,
forgot to post here, sorry.
After a couple of months of online racing got totally addicted to LFS.
CYA on track!

Chances that I`ll attend this session are 99%
Please explain this sentence `cause I don`t understand it.
I don`t want to argue about our race paths, who did what, etc...
I`m really sorry for all the mess and would like to say that I`m going to be extra cautious in feature races.
Thanks for saying this, because my main concern was not to be excluded from any event for one mistake. Many others caused similar incidents, but nobody attack them or propose exclusion.
I watched the replay, and you`re right about me (car 81), straying to the outside. I wouldn`t call it straying, it was not intentional (my wheel didn`t move to outside it was the forces pushing my car outside). IMO, car 88 had a much better view of the situation and didn`t need to move towards me, since he already gave car 04 enough room to pass him. Our paths crossed and if hi lifted a throtlle pedal just a little bit or continued parallely , contact would be avoidable.
Instead, 88 contiued to move away from 04, and we made a contact that caused a whole mess.
Not to mention that car 88 had the "BLUE FLAG", but apparently didn`t mean a thing to him or maybe blue flag doesn`t mean anything in oval races, correct me if I`m wrong.
I`m writing this `cause at the end of practice race, I was called out for making an incident.
Off all the incidents prior to this one nobody said nothing. I have both real mirrors and center mirror turned ON, and didn`t see the car beside me until the contact was made.
There was so many cars arround and rushing from both inside and outside.
I have expected to see passing only from inside when the car behind catches the draft.
Tonight and in the first practice, nobody followed none of the rules that someone mentioned for OVAL racing.
I only whish that all off you "expert" racers would try to pass the knowledge of oval racing instead of bad mouthing "non expert" racers.
I was so annoyed and miss to save the replay, but as soon as I look at it I`ll post once more.
If race control decide that my driving was unsafe to that point of banning me from KY500 event, I would like to remind them that I`ve safely avoided all massive crashes that happened in front of me and finished 5th. I don`t think that was pure luck.
I really can`t tell who was the driver involved in the incident with me, but I`m really sorry that you crashed. It was not my intention to close your path in order to defend my position or something like that.
Again, I`ll watch the whole replay, until then, BR

It was a great experience for me, both qualy session and those few short races.
I have no problem using R2s, but realy need more practice when it comes to drafting.
I only wish if people would be more careful during SC, and if someone would explain to all of us the term "two files". I know that everybody here have the good knowledge of what it stands for, but nobody followed that rule. Everyone was driving on his own, looking for better starrt position, so I think we had "3 to 4 files" in some point.
Again, it was pure pleasure for me to drive with you guys, all thou I was someone else`s collateral damage a couple of times.

In sprint race I was doing OK, until internet connection went down.
Don`t know if that was server or me.
In feature race, just before the start it happened again (*$#%^&!!!!).
I want to thank the RACE CONTROL for leting me join in, an most of all want to thank them for clearing my S&G. I was so confused and eager to catch the rest of field, so I turned off speed limiter a little bit to early. Thanks again for understanding!
In lap 2, after the fast chicane, there was couple of cars that went off track, I`ve managed to pass them cleanly. And then, in the fast left didn`t see 09 - J.Sedgwick who was spinning and ended right infront of me, so I slamed him realy hard. Sorry for that m8, but you were manuvering back to track at all cost.
Gratz to all finishers, specialy ones on the podium!

If Falke has posted official results for Japan, I should have total of 20 points.
In your link to results I have only 18.
I don`t know why I`m 10th in Falke`s scoreboard for Feature race but it`s the official result. (supose that someone was given a penaltie or something like that)
Sprint - 16th = 1 point
Feature - 10th = 19 points
Total = 20 points

I`m so sorry that I can`t make it for Saturdays race `cause of some private problems.
I was realy looking forward to the event , done some practicing , what a pity.
Thanks for understanding, and will be there for the next event.

Thanks everybody, I just wanted to clear things, and I`m sorry `cause I should have read LFSKART Rulebook in details.
Great job Leb, specialy rear wing view from one of SCP guys.
BTW, R2F1 is realy great event!

From F1 SC rule book:
"...The safety car will signal backmarkers to pass by using its green light until the race leader is immediately behind it, followed by the rest of the field in race order. Any lapped car between cars running on the lead lap must pass those cars and the safety car before proceeding slowly around the track to take up their correct position at the back of the pack..."
So, I`m allowed to pass all leading cars until I reach my position while SC is on track? Why then am I shown "blue flag"? Or, if SC is on track long enough, can I use this to get into the same lap with other cars? I think there`s a rule called "lucky dog" in NASCAR explaining this issue also.
My main concern is that during SC, I would be overlapped several times `cause of BLUE FLAG.

Finished both races, but realy need to ask some questions regarding SAFETY CAR.
My car was badly damadged and I pited for repairs. Shortly after, there was an incident on the track, and I got overlapped.
I was constantly "BLUE FLAGED" and race control said "no ovetaking". This was so confusing, `cause I think that I had the right to pass the SC and regain my position at the back. To be more confused, in main race, similar situation, I was down few laps, and after some incident, ended just behind SC. He told me to pass and I did.
RACE CONTROL - Please explain and clarify this issue!!
