League racing hours ?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to be more into LFS again than the past year and this by participating in some good leagues. I'm already participating in the OLFSL, however this league is now on a summer break. Therefor I'm looking to participate in a second league. However, the racing hours of that league are important.
I checked the calendar and various league subsections, however found no concrete (and active) league which races between 14-19GMT (weekdays and weekends). Therefor by this topic I was wondering if anyone knows about a fun league which is well organised which has races between those hours ? Cars, tracks, ... doesn't matter at all.
It can be a league for newer pilots, but also for experienced ones. I'm not new to LFS, far from, but I'm neither super fast. Although it is not fun to be last, it might be good to race with some great LFS racers, perhaps it pushes my own level of racing a bit higher as well ?! *
Regards,
* Come on, I can only dream can't I !?

Nice first 30 minuts of racing, good stream too, all working fine 
Hi everyone,
Little update from the Cabbie front. Good news and bad news.
I'll start with the good news: Tukko left us !
No, actually that's the bad news. However, we do wish him all the best in his new team 'nfinity eSports Racing', may you race clean, fair and fast and gain much victories and podium places in your new hardcore league racing team! Do the Cabbie regards to the rest of the guys.
As Tukko left us, The Force had to be balanced again, green midget dude said so, see:
:spyoda: Balance The Force, you must.
So we stumbled upon Rookie41, a racer active in the OLFSL and racing by the SCCC standards of Fast, Funny and Fair. After some talking and poking we decided to welcome him in our team, hopefuly his activity can lure out other Cabbies into being active!
Welcome sccc|Rookie41 to SCCC!
PS: Zeug, you're still a noob. Tukko, your name is gay. Peckles, **** you. Orion loves Biggie! 3J meep meep.

Happy birthday guys
Saturday and sunday will both work for me. Looking forward to some league racing (between the OLFSL summer break) on such 'early GMT' times.
I care more about bug fixes, psychics improvements, track texture updates and additions such as brake heating, ... and LFSWorld updates.
I do not care at all about new cars, new tracks or sound updates.
I trust the Magic Three Devs completely as they did not let me down in early S1 demo days, not in full S1 and neither in S2 up to now.
I am neither impatient for a new patch, I still got enough combos to try, setups to fix and fun races to race.
I prefer one single quality patch above a shitload of patches every week.

Peckles. Psyh****. Tukkonoob. That drunk Fin dude with his Volvo. And a bunch of other ex-Boobies. Nice team, can't go wrong !
Good luck guys with the racing, may you perform clean, fast and fair and provide me much entertainment following your races, news feeds and wins.
Ex-Cabbies making it in the big world outside South City... :drink:
PS: Mika 'tukko' Nummela.... seriously, you finnish people and your names :wacko:

Looks very cute. Keep him offline though, I don't want to get beaten by him in OLFSL's September races 
Event 5 - XRT @ Westhill
XRT at Westhill.
Qualified 3rd in Pool 4. Disliked the car and there were tyre problems (overheating). Tweaked the set with aid from AtomAnt. Went very well, when driving careful I could do all 25 laps without a pitstop, so that was my race strategy: slow, but without errors nor stop. Plan got a bit fooled by 'no mandatory pit stop needed for this race'-rule, nevertheless it went smooth.
Great start, after one lap I was 1st and stayed that way for the entire race. One tiny error, for the rest constant driving doing my laps perfectly. Builded up a gap up to 10 seconds and then did some tyre saving. Halfway the race I boosted my lap times again to drive faster and got a gap of 20-22 seconds. Kept that constant again for the tyres and the started doubling people. Last three laps I went on full power again and did a new PB (still slow, but oh well!).
Finished and won my first OLFSL race. Thank you Ant for the setup, thank you Pool for respect the blue flag nicely and for the good race.
Excuse me now, I got to deliver my victory flowers and my nice golden cup to Tiffany!

OLFSL uses no test patches, only official complete patches.
You'll need to 'downgrade' your version again to the non-ABS version.

Racing shots from myself and fellow racers at the LR|1 Racing Server.
Fine racing with a grid of 27-35 racers, racing at AS National with the XFG and it's RWD brother. Images come from two races, last finish line shot is from race two where we had a constant 4 lap battle with 4-6 cars all racing very clean and close to eachother. Everyone finished the race, no crashes occured and the time difference between first and last racer was 38 seconds. The mini-map showed (with now and then a little space in between) all racers constantly on one lint throughout the entire race.
This is what I was missing for a long time in LFS, thanks chaps for the racing!
The start: Full grid view from behind:
Close-up on the local racing hero
One of the many possible snapshots of close racing:
Another snapshot:
Over halfway of the race, but still very close and great racing:
Final lap!
And the last centimeters of the race, pfoeh!

Depends on your hour of racing. I have had great races there with 25-30 racers, but also some less great racers. The bashing and bumping in the rear do is a problem sometimes, however I also noticed a lot of racers braking correctly and keeping nice distance.
Some racers need to understand that we are racing with a large grid. Not driving around to be the fastest. In a race you can not always take a turn the most optimal way, or at the most optimal speed. You need to brake more, take a different line, avoid cars, ect... An often occuring problem is contact in front of a group of people, and the people behind the crash don't change their driving line, speed or braking distance. They just bash themselfs through in the hope getting through healthy. They're more wrong though as it only leads to more crashes.
Racing friends is what we are doing. Racing!
Keep it mature and clean. And the fast laps and superb nights follow.

My deepest condoleances Ant.
I'm only a bit younger than your daughter... It is too soon. Way too soon.
I wish there are words which can express my sadness, or which can truly support you.
However for such great sadness no right words can be found.
If you wish to let lose the anger or tears, my PM box is open for you my friend.
Letting the emotions go is better than keeping them for yourself, trust me on that.
Stay strong.
Even if it was only for the little beauty.
Sincerely,
Gianni

Good broadcast, fun to watch and nice racing! Thanks.
Aaah Fordie... you really are getting old you know.
Hope you still remember me... anyway, drop by in the Cabbie server for fun races, duh!
More on topic, as of a few days ago I also did my first LFS race again after being more than a year absent. Yesterday I had a first league race (in the OLFSL), in which I was slow, but had some great racing. That's one of the advantages of OLFSL: fast or slow, you can race with similair fast people for at least one evening in a lenghty race. In the week you get the fun of testing setups and tuning up your racing line, while also talking more with the other OLFSL racers. Above that the racing hours are perfect for my timezone. Just saying; check out some leagues and test some of them out, they can provide you a lot of fun, allow closer social contact again and perhaps you meet up some of us old farts!

Pool 5 race, one of the folks who made Rookie sweat
Very fun racing... large gap though between first 4 of us and the rest, but fun. The blue flags were kept up nicely - it's a hard track to move aside especially if you don't fully control the car. Bit annoying was the wind mostly, I was such focused on my other braking points that despite I wanted to change my braking points I did not do it because it had become such an automatisme to brake on a certain point
Anyway, I didn't knew that the LX4 could give such close racing without accidents (or barely any). Superb!
Made personally a lot of little racing errors though, I think I could have done a faster laptime without much troubles, was it not for the nerves and adrenaline. Racing for fun though and not for points, so it was a very great first LFS race for me since 1 year and some months! And nice close finish for 3rd, too bad I was 00:00:11 too slow. Congrats everyone in front of me, congrats with the very first win Robb, well done!
See you next race, pool 5
PS: In general:
This race should have had a pit stop, perfect track and pitlane for it.
For the rest Pool 5 organisation was without problems.
I noticed no cutting in pool 5, everyone respect the blue flag as well.
Not the fastest pool, but for sure some great quality racing. As it should be!

Thanks for the kind words all, see you at the starting grid
Ahum... GianniC dusts off this topic.
Hello everyone,
It has been a while... actually a long time... very... very very long time since LFS heared from the Cabbies. But have no fear, while shiny and fast teams like Mercury are gone, we Cabbies are still here!
We had some problems with our activity level, while being more busy with chatting and smapping our Cabbie forum instead of racing, our website and memberlist had some minor changes. As of lately we renewed the website which can still be found on the same old adress which is SCCabCo.eu, we moved our forum to Popeye his grateful hosting space and we still have our 500 LFS Racing Server running! All this lead to some more activity with our Cabbies, like myself, and this summer most of us plan to be more active in LFS, once more. Oh and... guess what we found and what is still working: our monumental Guestbook! To celebrate all this we have, aside sharing Sprinter his wife (hey, what are friends for!) and a lot of drinking, asked our stuntman Colt to create a new pack of SCCC Skins for 2009, which go back to a bit more original Cab routs with a modern version of the good old S1 Cab skin. Don't forget to check it out.
I just wanted to share this joyful news with everyone around here. South City Cab Company, since LFS S1 demo days and for over 7 years long, but still going strong!
See you on the track and remember... Fast, Fair and Funny !
:drunk:
Sincerely,
GC

sccc anno 2009
Bumped the wrong topic, sorry :P
I watched the last turn several times for now and still I feel that Glock did not slowed down on purpose, but he neither did a lot of effort to defend his position, and in my eyes when you're fighting for the points you should defend your position at all cost.
Anyway, there is no reason to hate like immature kids, it was an awesome race and the emotions from the drivers and family on tv made me realise why I still watch F1 !
Good job Massa and Hamilton!
Thanks you David Coulthard for everything!
And on to the next season, the one with new ugly cars
