My excuses for the stupid question, I must say that I am not much aware of how your database works, I thought you were using lfs functions which only counts the races if finished, does that means that your system analyse the replay and count the race if you start?
I noticed a perverse effect of having a leagues in the database, some drivers who are really focussed on their stats tend to retire when not on the podium, so I would like to suggest to add a DNF count to the stats.
Of course I have not idea if it is possible, but I thought this had to be mentioned here...
I hate to change again, but due to collision with some leagues we and other members of the community are doing on Tuesday’s, and because we like to allow everyone to participate in GEN Racing events, we have decided to move the Demo events to Sunday’s and Gen Racing will be on Mondays.
First post and calendars have been updated accordingly...
I've noticed a question which comes back at every races, why are the races showed in LFS as 20H or 40H?
This has to do with our Airio automatic racing system, races are set for 20min+1lap or 40min+1lap, but since LFS don't recognize it, it shows race time in hours.
Also take in to consideration that if the leader crosses the line a few second before minute 40, everyone will do an other two laps...We've seen in previous dailycious parts that some races can take up to 45min depending on race length and when the leader crosses the line.
I think it was on AS4R, Troy and I were fighting for first place, but my fuel was calculated with a race pace just 0.1 slower than what Troy managed to do which forced me to pit for 1 lap fuel when I realized he was crossing the line just before minute 40 which added a lap to what I was expecting...
So remember this and make sure you have an extra lap of fuel...
Genuine Racing is a sim racing adventure which started with the creation of Framaris Racing in 2007 which was renamed Ready2Roll in 2009 after a failed merger with Redline Racing. In 2010 we've created GenR to allow 3 teams (Eteam, R4R and AA) to join us in one big organisation where we shared the same values, philosophies and resources.
Over the years as our drivers improved, our interest for more serious racing grew and league racing became the logical step forward. We started with the VR/CL 24h of SO4R where we placed two of our cars on the podium (first and third). The hunger for more brought us to the GTAL which was followed by our participation in every serious league and series LFS had to offer in the last 4 years. during the development of GenR, AA maintained high standard of racing and their servers were and are still very successful. The great friendship between the members was transformed into a racing family which grew considerably and soon we had more than 90 drivers representing most racing aspects in LFS (demo, S2, casual and professional racers) with 15 servers.
We started organising series with running public servers (R2R TBO, R2R GT2) where we hosted the Dailycious Series, a semi-public weekly championship which mostly had multiple seasons each year. During that time we also participated in the organisation of the LFS Endurance Series. With the main focus of the team slowly shifting to professionally organised league racing, GenR organised its first league with the GT1 Challenge which started in February 2012. The GT Masters series later that year would benefit from the things we had learned previously. The race weekends were more organised and the whole league had a more professional atmosphere about it. A trend was set and we went on with organising the FBM Championship, the Turbo Trophy, the GTi Trophy and a joined venture with Heroes of Racing for the New Endurance Challenge.
Sadly due to the lack of development in LFS the community changed and many moved on to new simulators, teams became more and more inactive. Of course we never really suffered of inactivity with so many drivers, but the whole concept of GenR started to make less sense, so at the start of 2014 we decided it was time to make a radical change. We are very proud of what we have achieved with GenR over the years and we want to allow it to continue for many more years as a multiplatform team. So the cooperation concept was abandoned along with the R2R and R4R names and AA moved back to their original forum with regained motivation and objectives for demo racing. All the remaining drivers joined the GenR team to prepare the transition to a new simulator and the downsizing of our LFS operations. This restructuring of GenR as a team with a smaller group of people will allow us to set new objectives and prepare the team for the future.
The adventure continues.....

Tonight we open & R2R Gen Racing with GTL (UFR+XFR) on AS2R!
Some final adjustments have been made before it started, sorry for those last minutes changes, not touching anything any more.
& R2R Gen Racing will have only one track per week like other servers and will do 2 races of 20min +1lap (No pit), three reasons to this, one it was quite a lot to train 3 tracks, two to keep it simple for everyone we want to have only two racing format (1x40min+1lap+pit and 2x20min+1lap), three I have been planing this during everyone was hibernating and some part where not realizable without involving more programming for my friend EQ who is already very busy taking care of you guys with Airio.
Since we have new Stats it would have been contra productive to use the safety index at this time, so no safety handicaps will be imposed for now.
Good luck!
Edit: first post has been edited accordingly, program too....
I'd love to join, but I think I am getting a bit too old and I hurt my back badly last two times...that said I will follow this topic and if it is on a good day and not too far, I'll join to meet you guys!
Just a little note to say that I wasn't fully aware for the quali replay when Momo added Dailycious to your database, I can insure you that it was not by negligence, so we will add autosave to the automatic racing config today to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Sorry for the trouble and THX for making/managing this database!
Demo series start tonight with BL1 XFG and some little changes have been made:
-Series will be open to everyone, s2, s1 and demo drivers.
-numbers of races have been reduced to 2x20min with reversed start for the second race.
Server name: & [AA] Demo Racing
Qual: 18:30UTC
Race1: 19:00UTC
Race2: 19:30UTC
Note: you need the coper license to enter the race, so make sure you do some laps on AA server before.
Little update, since many complained about having 2 long weeks with only FWD, we've decided to have the XFG and XRG together for this week and the next one, next week's event will be on BL1R!
It was fun tonight, I had little training before, so my plan was to take it easy, carpio and aerox started with an infernal pace, with aerox doing 1:31:58 (-0:01WR), so best chance was to fight with the rest of us (the humans) for the last place on the podium. Sadly Carpio had some problems and had to retire, so lucky second place for me with B!K3R and MoMo in my mirrors.
Grats to Aerox for the win and an impressive start!
THX to everyone who has participated, it was a fair race and blue flags were well respected, you are all gentlemen sim racers!
Tonight first event UF1/FE2R, not as easy as I expected it to be, could be quite hard to do the 40min +1lap (with pit) without any errors.
First event is open to everyone (g25 or similar), join the fun if you dare!
Click on the link for the program in the first post, gti/tbo start Thursday with sprint/training and next Thursday with the first event, then every week for 10 weeks on the same day.
Don't forget you will need a bronze license to enter the events, so make sure you do a couples of laps on the server before.
We are all human and with those settings even more , (stupid) accidents will always happen in racing, what's important is to make sure to try avoiding them and not to cause them intentionally.
Many ppls are just starting with those settings now, so it is a good time to start building some experience, so you're welcome to join us!
