Plz use the official topic on our site for questions like this, we are trying to keep everything there so that everyone can see situations when things goes wrong...I understand it is quite confusing in the beginning, keep in mind that the no telepit rule is valid till the start of the race, only when everyone is set to spectate automatically the lap time will remain in !ss

Your's is a clear case of spectating from track:
10.09.23 19:55:15 #2 C52P33 jorisp - Lap 2 : 0:59.83
10.09.23 19:56:50 #2 C52P33 jorisp - CG™»JoeY : AA™| Frozeni - :-)
10.09.23 19:57:10 #2 CG™»JoeY pitted

We'll test it now!

Please stay at SO, though.

We will, I think SO1 is probably a bit small, we'll already visit so4, so maybe So5/r ?

Quote from N I K I :

I got to say this part of the race was more fun for me than the last part when I got to race Framaris. (Yes close racing and two or was it three times position changes were fun) In the first part I was chasing Isaac, but when I cought him up he pitted and after I pitted I was miles ahead. I was hoping to have tires finally cooled off, but instead they went up to 90C as I was pushing so hard to match Fram's FXO. In the end I just couldn't match him anymore, but he failed with fuel or something so I got my 2nd place back.

Well same for me mate, all was fine I was pacing my self like in the training, but you pitted early and when I came out from mine and I saw you behind, I was wtf hey niki ...the two next laps I managed to finish my tires and couldn't get then under 83 any more...but I saw you had trouble with exit and I had with entry, so it was pretty equal...of I know handling hot tires on XRT needs a lot more talent than FXO, but you have that much on me... somewhere before the end I pressed the windows key and got a short look at my desktop, damn niki back on my bumper, then one lap before the end I checked the fuel, quick math told me I was missing 0.3 to finish and the extra pit needed gave you back second...thought I was happy to limit damages with third!

Like I expected many would have variable paces and it did make the race interesting, GRATS TO ALL THE FINISHERS!

Quote from zeugnimod :

That was a lot of fun and 6th is way better than I could have hoped for. Already looking forward to the race in 2 weeks.

BTW, I think there can be only 16 cars on the track at SO2, IIRC. So will only the 16th fastest get to race there?

Ouch, you're right Zeug, I'll be checking the replay from yesterday and I'll change the track for next race...I guess they didn't expect that many ppls that soon ...

Finishing should always be priority number one in any kind of racing, and in this series you always score 1 point minimum if you do..and since many don't it is often much more...There is a French guys named Cayenne who always race this series, he's quite slow but very consistent and finish all his races, he almost always manage to put himself in the top 5...collecting points others don't want!

Never give up!

Tonight we have the first official race, I first thought AS1/tbo would be a bad combo, but in a longer race format it looks much more interesting than I expected, the hard part will be to find the right pace for the tires in the beginning of the race, specially for FXO/RB4...I can promise you an eventful race with variable paces for everyone, speed and luck will not be enough...could even be that some will have to change tires to regain some pace...could be an exiting one!

Make sure to do some laps before!

Have fun!

BIG THX to the 29 racers who join us for the test race yesterday!

I think we can say the test went well and the config was very consequent!

The only thing which still a bit difficult for some to understand is the qualification system, so keep one thing in mind:
DO NOT PIT/SPEC FROM TRACK DURING QUALIFICATION!
Go back to pit till you see the message in the chat saying that you can pit/spec...only then your time will be saved in !ss.
Any telepitting from track during quali will remove you any time you have in !ss and you will have join in the back...
If quali finishes before you completed your outlap, stay on the track till the system spec you, time should/will remain in !ss

The idea behind this is to remove the telepitting which is an arcade element! also like in real life, you have to go fast, but you also have to preserve the car....

Also 30sec before the race everyone is set to spectator, the first 15sec is for racers who have a quali time in !ss, they have priority and get a message JOIN NOW, join when you see the message and stay on track, do not pit again or you will join in the back. The last 15 sec is for the racers without an !ss time, they join when the message JOIN NOW appears...

Holala, I see I have made a big mistake here , quali start at 18:30 UTC....or 20:30 Dutch time!

Also note that UTC time is not reliable here as it will change during the series, so maybe server time would be more appropriate, which is quali at 19:30!

No password during quali, server will be made private just before the race, so if you there before there is no problem, password will be necessary for the ones who want to come and watch (in silence)...

Quote from jorisp :

How do I sign up for this ?

Hi and thx for your interest in the Dailycious Series, it is an open Series for which you don't need to register, but make sure to be on time for the quali because the server will be made private automatically before the race, it is not possible to join the race after the start.
Thursday I will post a password (in our forum) for the racers who like to come and watch the race, of course no chat allowed if you do so...

Also note that the competition level is quite good and many will train quite a bit before each race, so join them and make sure you're ready for it!
To avoid surprises, Join us for the test race on Wednesday to learn the rules and procedures....

This is all about friends racing with friends and having fun. Please treat all drivers, whether you know them or not, as you would one of your best friends in LFS racing.
Just as importantly, please give all drivers the same dignity and respect that you feel you yourself deserve.

Hi everyone, we're back for an other round!

Introduction
First, welcome and thank you for your interest in Genuine Racing’s dailycious series. This series is designed especially for friends to race with friends in a slightly more formal atmosphere, experiencing longer and more challenging race events with a series perspective.

As always the Dailycious Series is an open series, so no registration is required to participate!

In part4 there will be 14 races, 7xTBO and 7xGT2, both will have their own classifications and podiums, but in order to win the all series you’ll have to race the 2 categories because both will be added in a third classification (TBO+GT2). This time we are going to revisit part1’s rules, meaning that you will have to complete an out lap in quail to validate lap time and race will have a pit window. Seems like everyone is waiting for the patch , so we’ll have only one race per week, one week with the TBO’s on & R4R GEN TBO server and the other with the GT2’s on & R2R GEN GT2 server.

Events will be every Thursday’s (starting September 23th and ending December 23th)
Quali: 19:30 UTC (20min) (19:30 server time..type !now in chat on the servers)
Race: 20:00 UTC (40min+1lap with pit) (20:00 server time..type !now in chat on the servers)

GT2 combo's: KY3R, AS3, SO4R, FE4, WE1R, BL1R, AS4R
TBO combo's: AS1, SO5R, FE2, KY2, SO4, AS2, BL1

Official topic: http://www.ready2rollteam.com/ ... wtopic.php?f=44&t=772

Procedures

PR-1: There is no “Tele-Pitting” allowed during qualifying or race session in the Dailycious Series. Tele-Pitting is when you are on the track and click Shift-P or Esc/Pit. The purpose of disallowing “tele-pitting” is to create a more realistic racing atmosphere.

PR-1.a: The qualifying grid will be maintain in a different table which you can check at any time with typing !ss in chat box. You must perform an out lap, the number of hot laps you desire to run and a full in lap, returning to pit lane in order to complete your qualifying session. Tele-Pitting from the track will always result in the loss of any time you have recorded now or previously, this period starts with the quali and ends when the race starts!.. Once in pit lane, you may pit or join the spectators without penalty (a message will be displayed). You may go back on track to improve your quail time, but always make sure to go back to pit to validate your lap.


PR-1.b: Race. Tele-pitting at any time during the race is treated as the equivalent of you pulling your car from the event. In the case of an accident, you must either continue or drive back to pit lane for service as required. Should your car become stuck or so badly damaged that you are unable to continue, you will be removed to spectator.

PR-2: Timed Out. If for some reason you are “timed out” or otherwise disconnected from the server we unfortunately must treat that situation as a “did not finish” or DNF.

PR-3: Pitting during race will be done with in a pit window and no work will be required (free to chose), opens 10min after the start and closes 10min before the end (from minute 10 till minute 30). If you crash before the pit opens, you are allowed to pit for repairs, but you will have to pit again during the pit window. If you missed the pit window and pit too late you will be disqualified.

Race Calendar:
Sept 23th: TBO/AS1 on & R4R GEN TBO
Sept 30th: GT2/KY3R on & R2R GEN GT2
Oct 7th: TBO/SO5R on & R4R GEN TBO

Have fun!

Great little video!! Looks like it has been an epic race, congrats guys!!

I've tried a touch screen for a couples of days, after two days my shoulders started to hurt and I was using the mouse and kb most of the time. I think unless you want to make some kind of remote control they are pretty useless for home users. I also didn't like the dirty screen all the time, forget about eating chips behind your pc ....

Good luck!

Same here 208 seems to be fine now!

I was reading his last post on this page and I don't want to read between the lines or interpret anything, but could it be that our friend Franky is ill and unaware of what's going on? (I hope not!)

Anyway, it is probably time he ask for some help, at least to do his PR, nothing worse than waiting for something when you have no idea of what the problem is....

Lost servers on .205 and now the 208 are down too..

I am not trying to say that Andy was right in any way, I believe James when he said it was bad, and it was even worse since he is the leader and should have shown the example...

My point here was that since some of you have been guilty of the same thing before, why do you leave so fast? why don't you let Andy present his excuses to the racing organisation and the team? after all we are all human and we all can have very stupid reactions when we have a bad day....

A team is like a family, for better or for worst, deal with your problems maturely/internally and make sure the same mistakes are not repeated over and over... If being in a team is so important for you guys, stop leaving at the first problem... love your team and fight for it!

As I see it, MoS is being killed by its members!

Quote from xtraction :

Yes, but point out how many of those where major teams, and i only just started major racing within the past year or so, so i think that was a little uncalled for. but as i think you should try and notice, im currently trying to gain a better reputation within the community, but with people like andy doing stuff like this, its not gonna help really is it.

I thought naming and shaming wasn't allowed on this forum? and you keep repeating it...

If I remember well I had to present the team's excuses to the VR/CL 24h-Event organisation in June for similar actions on your part, was that the reason you kicked your self out the Eteam?...if so, well what can I say, you're a man of principles!

In case you forgot: http://lfs.foren.4players.de/viewtopic.php?t=24835

We are testing some stuff on a new server called & Genuine GT Racing, in short it is set as a multiclass GT server based on safety rating only, but we are also testing Eq Worry's new Voting system for site and tracks, if you're interested feel free to drop by and test it for your self...

More details about what's going on with this server here: http://www.ready2rollteam.com/ ... wtopic.php?f=21&t=747

Hmm good point, didn't realize it was only demo at first, and this unlimited demo account story is an invitation to wrong doing. I think they should be limited in time (3 to 6 months should be enough to know if you like the game/sim) and probably linked to pay email addresses to prevent them from using multiple free email accounts...(and I know that some ppls don't have pay email account, but that's a small group today)

My 2 cents...

Before this new speed hack has been patched, would it be a good idea to maintain a list of those cheaters, like that we could all ban them on our servers and avoid having them jumping from server to server? (almost equal to getting s2 banned)
Maybe one single topic where replays can be posted and the list of confirmed cheaters on in first post?

(sorry if this has been asked before, I haven't read the all topic..)

Interesting read!

First I like to start with a question: Religion is the source of many of our problems, so why are we not teaching all religions in school?

Personal thoughts (engages only me):
When I was young(er) I have been interested in religions and I have been initiated in quite a few, my main problem with them is that they give you a reason to suffer quietly in this life because an hypothetical better one is around the corner, if we all stopped believing most would probably request to make ‘’heaven’’ on earth and that could be a problem for some. Also there seems to be a competition about god with market shares which makes it/him a product/commodity, no way a real god would accept this, it’s so strange.

For my part I always thought I was a believer, but I have been very ill in the 90’s and almost died a couples of times, the only thing that brought me back every time was a strong feeling that there was only this life and nothing behind it, so it became my reason to fight as hard as I could to make it as long as possible, it was not the easy way, so I realized that I had lost my faith because if I would have believed in heaven or in a continuation of some sort I would have signed for it immediately.

We use only a small portion of our brains, the biggest part of it is not fully under our control, so could it be that the god feeling is inside all of us, like in realistic dreams we could have the feeling of a superior presence around us, feels real but it isn’t…or maybe it is ….

God is a good way to explain what we don’t understand, that’s why science is the enemy because it reduces that considerably (3 main religions says that god created the world about 4000years ago and then we got prove that the dinosaurs walked the earth million years ago) , but still today many scientists find the hands of god behind things like the big bang and we are not close to explain the origin of this one ….

Food for the digital minded: maybe we are just a big program like the Sims and our pixels are the atoms or the subatomic particles, the programmer could be our god ( with all the problems on hearth now that would explain why angel Scawen had no time for our lfs update). (sorry for the joke, I couldn’t resist :shrug

I Also like the ancient cosmonauts theory which could explain many things, just us interpreting things we didn't understand with words we knew...

Anyway I think life is about choices and if you chose to believe or not and it works for you, we should all respect that!

Same here, all servers on the 195 are offline and not responding in CP...could be the update Franky was talking about not long ago...

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

Hope that a double team can slip into 1 car or something

Well, let's go then, I have have removed the xrt and will share the fxo with Matty (post 24)....let's race!

I hope there will be more tbo if you split on two servers, or we will feel like shooting targets for the gt2's...
